- Out now, the track was co-produced by Leon Vynehall.
Kam-Bu has debuted his new single, "Black On Black," with a music video.
The South London rapper's new track follows the release of the Leon Vynehall-produced "Are You On?" via Atlas Artists last month. Out now on that same label, "Black On Black" sees Vynehall back on the buttons, this time alongside Pablo Pullen, HYLNU and Tom Henry. The song aims to challenge the negative connotations of the phrase "Black-on-Black."
"This track is an exploration of how the Black on Black narrative, which is often perceived as negative, can be flipped on its head to represent Black culture in a positive way," Kam-Bu explains. "Discussing topics such as the teaching of financial literacy, the circulation of wealth and unity within a community. This song was inspired by Fela Kuti and his use of repetition as a sort of sonic marching song on demonstration day, this is what I was aiming for when writing the chorus. 'Black On Black' is a track for empowerment, equality and reflection."
