Babylon Dead – Resistance (2020) [UK]

In hip-hop, reggae, and dub culture, the term “Babylon” traditionally symbolizes a corrupt state system, an oppressive capitalist order, the police, and the ruling elites. The track calls for explicit defiance and mental resistance against this oppressive machine.

The musical production and aggressive flow create the feeling of a dark, chaos-ridden metropolis. The lyrics are filled with imagery of street survival, class inequality, police brutality, and social control.

The artists position their work as the voice of the streets and a weapon in the information and ideological war against media propaganda and the fake mainstream.
