Listen to No Fear of Time on Bandcamp - blackstarnofearoftime.bandcam...
On Saturday, November 12 , 2022, we joined host Dave Chappelle on SNL as musical guests.
"So Be It" was one of the first songs Black Star recorded with Madlib for No Fear Of Time so it definitely set the tone of the project early on. The song is a lyrical exercise, bars on bars, but we are not rhyming for the sake of riddling as the great Chuck D might say. This song is a call to action. It's a prayer. It's a manifesto.
- The visuals that accompany it are simple, but strong. Our value is in our performance and how we connect with our audience. We wanted to provide a visual that showcases that for the core fans.
- I'm a fan of comedy and I grew up on SNL so this is a career milestone for sure. I can't recall seeing a more hip-hop, a more independent group than Black Star to ever do SNL, so I'm definitely excited to represent for the culture.

Through their music, Black Star taught me as a teenager that it was ok to be myself, when I didn't fit into the norm. Years later, that was one of the greatest lessons that I have ever learned and its made me who I am today. And for that, I am forever grateful to them.

@ViewbobTrue Год назад

@@romilrh Yes you are! Produced the first Gorillaz album, as well as both Deltron 3030 and the Dr. Octagon Records. He's done work with Tribe (b-side remixes) and is half of HBMS with Prince Paul. He also has a fantastic underrated album with Mike Patton, Jennifer Charles and Kid Koala called Lovage. He's been everywhere, yet no one knows his name. I think these days he does movie soundtracks.
