De La Soul Taps Styles P, Pharoahe Monch, Talib Kweli & More For Scathing “Remove 45”

If there’s one thing that can unite the rap game, barring a few exceptions, its a shared dislike for the current United States President Donald Trump. And with Election Day around the corner, De La Soul has rallied the troops to issue a resounding statement: “Remove 45.” Brining Styles P, Talib Kweli, Mysonne, Chuck D, and Pharoah Monch on board for the cause, the defiant single has been designed for one reason and one reason only.

“When it comes to this president and his administration we need to exercise our right to vote and REMOVE him from office,” explains Posdnuos. On that note, the anti-Trump single wastes little time in getting straight to the point. And seeing as “Remove 45” clocks in at five and a half minutes, there are plenty of scathing bars and societal breakdowns found throughout. Though not everyone will appreciate the protest anthem, the sheer number of lyricists involved should spark at least a few curious spins. Check it out for yourself now, and sound off — do you think Donald Trump will be elected for another four years?

QUOTABLE LYRICS

Sick mentally, not credible inherently
So stupid he thought bitcoin was edible currency
Clown-ass President, more of a clown’s ass than Ronald McDonald’s rump
Look, every person who voted for Donald is not a racist,
But every racist that voted probably voted for Donald Trump 

– Pharoahe Monch

Michael Coleman captures heartbreak’s quiet echo on latest release “Another Saturday – See Your Shadow”

Michael Coleman

The Metropolitan Cowboy Michael Coleman returns with a deeply affecting new single, “Another Saturday – See Your Shadow,” a song that explores the emotional landscape left behind when love fades and certainty disappears. Written by Coleman, the track offers a reflection on heartbreak, loneliness, and the difficult process of rediscovering oneself after loss.

One of the song’s most compelling strengths lies in its honesty. Lyrics such as, “Right now she’s not anybody’s girl / Though she used to be someone’s wife,” reveal the profound identity shifts that often accompany heartbreak. Rather than offering easy answers, the track embraces uncertainty, making its emotional impact all the more powerful.

The chorus and bridge further deepen the song’s resonance, highlighting the struggle of moving forward while carrying the scars of past experiences. The line, “When you don’t know what comes next / You can’t protect your heart from battle scars,” serves as a striking reminder of the openness that comes with healing and personal growth.

Musically, “Another Saturday – See Your Shadow” balances classic country sensibilities with polished contemporary production. The arrangement feels spacious and expressive, creating room for the song’s emotional themes to breathe while maintaining a strong sense of accessibility. The result is a track that feels equally at home during a solitary late-night listen or on mainstream radio.

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 makes a stand for afrobeat against corruption on latest release Na Dem feat. Tom Morello.

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 deliver a powerful afrobeat statement with “Na Dem,” Featuring Tom Morello and produced by Femi Koleoso. The track has been a fan favourite even before its official release, and comes with the unmistakable spirit of protest, truth-telling, and social accountability that have long characterized Afrobeat’s most impactful moments.

The song’s heart is a direct challenge to corruption and the abuse of power. Instead of singling out one profession or institution for its critique, “Na Dem” identifies a larger culture of dishonesty, targeting bad lawyers, bad doctors, bad politicians, and anyone who would sell their integrity for personal gain. The message is sharp and uncompromising and delivered with the urgency that has become a hallmark of Seun Kuti’s artistry.

The inclusion of Tom Morello adds another level of intensity to the record. His presence adds to the song’s rebellious energy, creating a powerful intersection between the rhythmic activism of Afrobeat and the confrontational edge of rock. The result of the collaboration is a track that is both timeless and of the moment.

The song’s dedication to principle is what rings true. The moral center of the record is Seun’s statement that he would never prostitute his conscience for money. It turns “Na Dem” from a critique into a declaration of personal values, responsibility, and resistance.
