Word Sound and Power is something that has been real to me for decades. Inside of words, you can hear the truth or you can hear lies. Within language, people can convey their power or have their power taken away. The way something is spoken will color the way we allow messages to enter our souls. The new BLUE LICK album Hold On, Hold Fast that comes out on Sept. 17th via American Dreams Records (pre-order HERE!) is a journey to a universe where spoken word meets abstract soundscapes. Both Havadine Stone and Ben Baker Billington are powerful creative beings that have manifested a creative planet where their imagination not only grows but thrives! Join us as we turn y’all on to the BLUE LICK song “V” that we are streaming below! I want to be known as I listen to this awesome project it reminds me of my love for dub poetry titans such as Linton Kwesi Johnson, Ahdri Zhina Mandiela, and Mikey Smith. I leave you with the words of Mutabaruka “It nuh good fi stay inna white man country too long!”
