Man I dig Digable.
I am from Amsterdam and my partner back then was from the US. She introduced me to their first album and we discussed the lyrics. Played it on repeat.
This is how I learned about Thomas and Souter, how I learned about Roe versus Wade. These corrupt fuckers still at it.
Like Butterfly says,
The fascists are some heavy dudes
I get to see them do a show with The Roots and Arrested Development this summer. Fucking HYPE.
