If It's Not You

Three years later, Black Vulcanite return with a new full-length album titled Black Colonialists. Despite the fact that the underground classic Remember The Future produced no radio hit single, there hasn’t been a change of scope. The idea is still to make music that makes sense to the trio which consists of rappers Mark Mushiva, Ali That Dude and the poet Okin. The music on Black Colonialists, just like on Remember the Future, is still analog, reminiscent of 90s hip-hop, with warm basslines and soul samples. The album’s soundscape is monolithic — Black Vulcanite aren’t trying to be everything at once. “You’ll never hear none of that trap shit from us,” Ali That Dude said at a meet-and-greet with the crew in Cape Town last year. - Sabelo Mkhabela
