Black Thought is a veteran master of ceremony, a grandmaster if you really look at the full scope of hip-hop. That’s why it feels so rewarding to hear him continuously dropping new music, this time in the form of a new Ledisi collaboration for the HBO original adaptation of Ta-Nehisi Coates’ powerful book Between the World and Me.

Quotable Lyrics:
Nina Simone said, ‘What’s the matter with you rock?’
Is it my hip-hop? Hey, what’s the matter with 2Pac?
We will finish the journey from Mecca to pilgrimage
Build bridges over burial grounds – they filled with us
I grimaced upon a photo I found
A still image of a friend who said to lean on Him, like Bill Withers
I wish he was still with us
They issue moratoriums on the truth and label us ‘revisionist historians’
Changing the point of origin in all the events
Any prince with some kind of sense is all they’re against
