Res Turner – Earthlings 2 (2016) [France]

Res Turner’s track, set to an epic beat by Grim Reaperz, is a powerful solo manifesto against speciesism, animal cruelty, and social hypocrisy. The title references Shaun Monson’s famous documentary “Earthlings”, which exposes humanity’s total exploitation of animals, while the number ‘2’ indicates that this is the second chapter of a track under the same name released four years earlier.

“Let us be the voice for those who have none” – the rapper deliberately chooses an aggressive, hard-hitting delivery, stating that “humans listen more closely when spoken to in the language of violence”. The artist takes a harsh aim at the food industry, lobbyists, politicians, and sell-out nutritionists who profit off disinformation.

This track is a clear reflection of his artistry, through which he literally tries to rip the blindfold of comfortable ignorance from the listener’s eyes and force them to realize the price other living beings pay every single day.
