With the boisterous delivery of a cool preacher, Marvin Tate sounds like Martin Luther King Jr. if he had a rapping alter ego. Written after a blackout hit his all-Black neighborhood on Chicago\u2019s West Side, his song \u201cTurn da Fuckin\u2019 Lights Back On\u201d is a callout against systemic racism and a call-in to those oppressed by its violence. \u201cDo you think poor people dig living like this?\u201d Tate bellows. \u201cCrooked politicians beware!\u201d Through call and response, ad-libs, and multi-voiced choruses, Tate and his band the D-Settlement illustrate scenes of restless neighbors venting frustrations on stoops and street corners. Groovy synthesizers, sharp drums, and hi-hats transport you to the \u201970s, making a case for communal jam sessions as a form of protest.<\/p>\n

With artists releasing songs at a fast and furious pace, it\u2019s difficult for the average hip-hop head to keep track of it all\u2014no matter how tapped in they are. That\u2019s why we created The Ones, a daily post to highlight the song you need to hear.<\/em><\/p>\n
