The new album "48 Hours Towards A Better World" from Sun Rise Above is now available for free download at http://www.sunriseabove.net (http://www.sunriseabove.net/)
Reviews are already coming in: "One of THE most important rappers of this decade, Sun Rise Above has released the tracks from his latest album '48 Hours Towards A Better World' for free download. The album shows once again his talent & commitment to his music & beliefs. Written & recorded in a 48 hour period the tracks range from laid back rhymes & rhythms to full barrage attacks on the powers that be, those responsible for the current state of the world and the systems that perpetuate it.
"He touches on many subjects including the conditions and lives of the working people of the world, treatment of women, war, racism, everyday life and his words are both inspirational & a celebration of resistance. Unlike many artists of different genres who, though their hearts may be in the right place, simply keep re-stating the problems of the world without offering any beginning of a way forward, Sun Rise Above talks of TRUE resistance, change & of different ways to start moving.
"It is rare to find truly talented individuals like Sun Rise Above who have the talent to travel the path of success if they chose to dumb down their lyrics and write about the inane & repetitive Top 40 Chart topics but who choose to stand strong & tell the truth about the world. As an activist, unionist, musician, socialist & advocate of social justice, I am always inspired to find those among us who choose to use their talents to change the world for the better and not just to line their own pockets and knowing as I do that this path has not been an easy one for him makes me all that more appreciative of that work."
The album is hosted by DJ Grafitti. Production is handled by X3M, 7Wounds and Sun Rise Above.
The title reflects the fact that the entire album was written and recorded in a period of 48 hours.
If you like what you hear, spread the world - and the tracks.
