  • Infinito 2017 - African of Kenya Ether Part 18
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    This is 140 Gram Color Vinyl | Album Comes with a Chip Board Cover and Full Color Poster Inside | A Book or CD or Tape or Vinyl Bonus will be included at Random as supplies last.

    The prolific Infinito 2017 returns center stage via the steadfast Culture Power 45 vinyl only label with one of his most personal releases to date: ‘African of Kenya Ether Part 18’. Poised as the 18th chapter of a 17 series box set where we find Infinito discovering he has lineage connected to Kenya and parts of Western North Africa, specifically the LUHYA tribe.

    The soundscape is vocally packed with Infinito’s signature on/off beat flow that tackle concepts that range from gentrification, colonial oppression, to empowering black people as evidenced by the Dion Brown produced ‘Action to Take Back Our Land” and ‘Move and Confront’ produced by Japan based boom bapper Ill Sugi.

    To date Culture Power 45 has continued to deliver superior vinyl only sure shots. This Infinto 2017 banger is sure to carry on the tradition.

lyrics

From Way Down the Block

I was walking up the block turned around stopped
Not listening to the radio everything is pop
Never liked a cop when I was walking up the rock
Every place I go everybody just watch
So he took his life back but then they yelled stop
Looking in her eye just give me one shock
When I was walking up the block 63rd back home
Back when Motorola was the favorite phone
Click on free zones not tell us what we on
World of my own when I lived back home
Hate from other people stuck up for no reason
Not really that splendid wanting me to change
The longer it takes we can never grow
So you got to go never seen again not any more
When I was walking down the clock
Before the gun shots when black was on stocks
No one called the cop when we was on the top
Home boy wasn’t doing rocks back then
Went to the corner store just to get a pop

When we lived down the block
We would never stop
From Way Down the Block
Way down the block

Bad for your health on the next stop
All the Arab stores only got junk food
When we lived down the block my dog got shot
Why they shoot my dog back up the block
Miss Myles had candy I lost my tooth to junk food
Stay up out my business we be running spots
Life is just a mission wishing for change
Rearrange the game and it still not the same
Independent dreams away from every thang
What they never saw yall aint never seen
Followers only follow the rest of them believe
Don’t mean nothing don’t mean anything
Teaching things television can’t see
That’s them not me it aint my fault
Whatever that means
