SayTheirNames by Devin Burgess
Music is a time capsule. Songs live on forever and people do not. But when it comes to injustice, artists have some what of a responsibility to merge the two to educate and inform the people. And that's what I'm doing here today with this beat tape.
Each song is the name of a black person that was killed from police brutality. Music lives on, and I need these precious souls to live on with the music. Their names can't go unforgotten. I know that this is only a SMALL, percentage of the people that have been killed by police, but i'm using this to represent them as well. Along with all the people who DON'T get mentioned when they die by the hands of the police.
The proceeds of this album will go directly to the families of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, 2 black people that were recently innocently murdered. Below you can find gofundme links if you also would like to donate to these familes.
My heart is so heavy, but everyday. I feel this everyday. We feel this every day as black people. And we are tired. We are angry. And all of that is okay. We are still beautiful. We still matter. Every black life, gay/trans/bi/lesbian/etc. Every. Black. Life. Matters. Fuck the fucking police til I die. BLACKLIVESMATTER. ACAB (ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS)
