Album Of The Day: Terraform: The People by Propaganda & DJ Mal-Ski

The People EP - A photo of about 50 Africans posing for a photo on a sandy bit of land with large rocks and the mostly cloudy sky with a golden brown hue added to it. In the midst of the sky, it has a Propaganda text with a pen and brush crossed behind it to be a sort of logo. Below that, it says 'The People' in large letters, then 'Terraform' in much smaller letters, and the 'Food For the Hungry' logo and word mark below that, all printed in white.

"We are the culture." Amen to that! Released 4 years ago yesterday, this is the first of his four Terraform EPs. Rapper Propaganda (with the help of DJ Mal-Ski) focuses on the world's people and how we have to work together and live together on this release. In "We Were Only 10", for example, he draws parallels between gang culture in his childhood growing up in the Los Angeles area and terrorists for kids growing up in the Middle East. Other songs on this celebrate the culture in more of a positive light, including a number of references to Propaganda's African heritage as well as his life in LA. This whole EP is quality rap celebrating that there is more that unites us as humans than divides us. It makes me think, and it's a good celebration of the many places we come from and what we can learn from each other.
