“Born into a world where we’re dying to be free. But where living underneath their supremacy…”
In dark times, we all need voices that acts as our guiding lights. Fever 333 is one of them.
The experimental rapcore trio are back with “Supremacy“; a hip-hop-based track that talks of the struggle of everyone who wants to live freely in a world governed by those who rule to keep that from happening.
The song is a call for everyone to not let history repeat and be forgotten; to remember the atrocities committed and to remind us why they must never happen ever again.
The band initially released the song downloadable for free as a rallying call in the wake of the protests due to the murder of George Floyd, a black man, by a police officer who refused to listen to his pleas that he could not breathe after the officer knelt on his neck and thereby asphyxiating him all under the suspicion he used a counterfeit bill.
With the song’s early release, vocalist Jason Aalon Butler issued a statement on Instagram:
” I have been as vocal as I can be about all of what has happened to our culture and country for 7 very long and painful days and will continue to do so. Beyond these seven days. Beyond the next 7 years. Until the day I feel as though the idea of white supremacy that has plagued our nation and nations outside of ours for centuries is elucidated, attacked, and eradicated. Until that day comes, expect songs like this from myself and Fever 333 to flood your feeds, ears, and lives.
SUPREMACY is available as a free download following the link in our bio. It had to be finished and released prematurely due to the climate. This project is and forever will be a reaction to its environment- and right now it seems, for the first time in our generation’s timeline, those that typically have some implicitly racist and misaligned thing to say about the unjust killing of non white citizens are not as loud this time. It seems as though for the first time even these people have no room to call the case of Derek Chauvin against brother George Floyd anything but exactly what it was- another remorseless murder of another black body. As painful as this all is for us, we must utilize this moment. We must speak out. We MUST mobilize, show up for our non white brothers and sisters and do not waiver in our speech when we scream #BLACKLIVESMATTER. Please share these ideas, please share this song for its ideas even more than its musical value, please check in on your friends who have inherited this plight, please ask more of yourself and your community. Please DO more. Please let them know…“
