“No this ain’t conspiracy. We know we ain’t equal. This the revolution, motherfucker; this the sequel!” In the video for their song “#,” OSHUN, Niambi Sala and Thandiwe (18 and 19 respectively), resurrect the tattered spirit of Public Enemy with eloquence and vehemence. Though they flaunt the fashion and the shibboleth of Afrocentrism, there is a greater complexity to their locus. The mission of “empowering women and all people, instilling confidence, cultural pride, and self-respect… within a re-emerging movement of cultural realignment, awareness, and creativity” is represented clearly and concisely throughout their repertoire. Regardless of how they may be labeled or categorized, OSHUN’s music is vast and deep, communicating fluidly from subtle ripples to massive crashes. – BrokeMC
