07 In The Pines by Fantastic Negrito published on 2016-03-01T22:39:11Z About The Last Days of Oakland: It means something to be from Oakland. The tiny city that birthed the Hells Angels, the first sports team in black, and America's oldest street dance has always been ground zero for counter culture. It is a place where violent crime, art, and swagger converge. It has always been diverse. It has always understood that danger and edge are critical ingredients for art and culture. But Oakland is changing. As its neighbors, San Francisco and Silicon Valley, spill over with money, the economy in Oakland is soaring. Young entrepreneurs and aspiring artists are attracted by the city's perceived "renaissance." Oakland is becoming whiter and safer. Now Oakland is ground zero for the national discussion on gentrification. Fantastic Negrito is an artist who bridges Oakland's future with its legendary past. He is a wounded veteran of the city once claimed by Black Panthers and hustlers. He is a vital voice in what the New York Times called "the hottest city in America." His album, The Last Days of Oakland, is about the fallout and rebirth that comes in the wake of a seismic shift. It is intensely relevant -- the way his city has always been. --- Written and Produced by Xavier Amin Dphrepaulezz Sound Engineering - Miguel Maloles, Jabari Tawiah Mixed by Matt Winegar Mastered by Dave McNair Publishing by Angry Ant Publishing Art by Nick Francis Comment by yerdasellsket Just a btec where djd you sleep last night by nirvana 2021-08-27T16:38:09Z Comment by SeanOrganicNoClonesBasham Soooo dope 2021-06-13T12:20:13Z Comment by Cinamon Thank you 🙌🏾 2020-04-02T17:03:46Z Comment by OIM Records wow wow wow. you are one the best things that has happened to music in some time my friend. 2016-07-20T17:57:51Z
