Wade Waters - Post Racial America (Pt. 1)
Artist: Wade Waters
Producer: GMJ
Album: A Post-Racial America
Label: Wandering Soul/Hazmatic
In honor of Black History Month, DMV duo Wade Waters have decided to give listeners a much needed reality check. A Post Racial America (Part 1) is about dispelling the notion of just that - the impression that the election of President Obama has erased our nation’s racist thoughts and beliefs. The optimistic production, provided by GMJ, is juxtaposed by Waters’ emcees Soulstice and Haysoos descriptive lyrics about our society’s problems, “The border looks like a Nazi camp/ They still murder blacks, ask Oscar Grant / How can I be confident? / When the NAACP is incompetent / They blame Mexicans for trafficking intoxicants/ In Arizona they gon’ ask for your documents.” With every bass thump and the bars laid by Waters that accompany it, the listener becomes more and more inspired as the song truly sheds some much needed light. Bravo, gentlemen, bravo indeed. Be sure to check out Pt. 2 of A Post Racial America, due to drop on Wednesday, as well as Wade Waters’ upcoming album of the same name, also coming soon.

if you are unfamiliar with Wade Waters, don't mistake PRA Pt. 1 as some out-of-nowhere song with a meaningful message. These guys have been making music with a purpose for years. This is just the latest and greatest in this catalog. Its crazy - artists everywhere have the platform, but so few take the time.

There are very few artists left who make the music they want to at all ties, regardless of profit or popularity. Wade Waters is one of the few. These things need to be said, and props to Soulstice and Haysoos for saying them.

Really feeling the message and content of the lyrics here. The music itself isn't winning me over as much tho
