Groundings

The 'Nation Time' Sound


Listen Later

We sit down with Slank and Sunny Ture to discuss their new album, "Nation Time." 

Throughout the episode, we delve into the creative process behind "Nation Time," discussing the themes, concepts, and inspirations that shaped the album. We examine the samples used throughout the project, including speeches from influential figures like Amiri Baraka, Malcolm X, Tupac Shakur, and Edward Onaci. Additionally, we take a closer look at the album's bibliography and its connection to the politically conscious roots of hip-hop, with standout tracks like "Black Belt Thesis" and "Devil in the Details."

Read the full Nation Time bibliography.
