BLK ODYSSY - "MURDA" from the 2021 album BLK VINTAGE on After School. “I want to create something that will be culturally impactful for my people. I want to do something that is impactful on a larger scale, something that is for groups of Black people across the country,” says soulful songwriter Sam Houston, who records under the name BLK ODYSSY.  His debut album, BLK VINTAGE, finds inspiration in both the world around him and his own personal experiences, like the tragic 2010 murder of his older brother, David, at the hands of the New Jersey police. “The Black youth has been poisoned numb because of the shit we have to deal with," he continues via a press release. "I want to speak to our experiences and let people know it’s okay to shed that layer and really, truly feel. My goal is to connect with the Black youth, and my goal is to connect with my people and speak to them on a level where we can stop suffering from happening. There’s only so much we can do for the dead. This record asks: ‘How can we stop this from happening again?’” Read the full post on KEXP.orgSupport the show: https://www.kexp.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
