There is desperation and urgency in Fantastic Negrito's new album Please Don??t Be Dead. For anyone who ever felt like it was over yet hoped it wasn??t, this is your music. ??I wrote this album because I fear for the life of my black son,? said Negrito. ??I fear for the lives of my daughters. I am uncertain about what kind of future they will face. Will someone shoot up their school? Will they become addicted to prescription pills? Will they wind up on the street, sleeping under freeways and overpasses? Will the police murder my son? I came up with the name Please Don??t Be Dead because I felt like we??d lost our way as a society ?? and I know what happens when you chase the wrong things. It??s the story of my life.? Please Don??t Be Dead follows 2016??s Grammy Award-winning The Last Days Of Oakland. -
There is desperation and urgency in Fantastic Negrito's new album Please Don't Be Dead. The record sees the Devil around the corner, and each song is a plea to make you aware of what's waiting for you. The artist is screaming at you because he knows what comes next. The album art features a real life photograph of Fantastic Negrito waking up from a three week coma. His body is shattered, his eyes are staring past you. They're staring at the darkness that awaits. But with his new album we hear the voice of an artist who put that darkness in the rearview. Now he's asking America to do the same.
