about

This track was written during the arab spring, using samples from the self-shot youtube videos people were uploading to document their movement. The main sample is a 8 year old kid sitting on a man's shoulders in the street, with a circle of protestors around him, as he leads chants calling for Mubarak (the former egyptian president) to be ashamed of himself and step down. You also hear the voice of a BBC reporter who was abducted by egyptian police and thrown in the back of a truck with a group of protestors. He had concealed a cell phone from the police, and broadcasted live as they were all taken to the middle of the desert, to be beaten and killed or abandoned. Other egyptians staged a rescue, breaking into the police vehicle and bringing the prisoners to safety. The final sample is a young girl speaking directly to Mubarak through youtube, telling him that his police were abandoning him to join the people. Nuff said.
