Both George Floyd’s death and the ensuing violent protests show us that there’s too much “us vs them” and not enough unity. Not enough understanding. Not enough love. We can all benefit from looking at systems and structures that bring people together, rather than cause more division. Sometimes it happens in the simple act of making music. That’s the one thing I admire most about Nomadic Massive. Its intentionality in bringing together different races and cultures, because music gets richer when we’re more inclusive. “Times” is a sharp commentary on the now—not from one, but from many voices.

“Brains wired to liars. Dreams to be hired. Now their past is now expired hashtag TPS. And wanna rest to avoid this madness. Cuz this world seems to be lost without a GPS. Which road to follow. Times we do borrow. And spit like arrows and change what’s tomorrow.”
