Read moreDevine Carama – Martin Didn’t Die For This [Video]
Today I’m continuing my Music Monday series as well as recognizing MLK Day with a visual for a track entitled “Martin Didn’t Die For This” which will land on my upcoming EP, The Dream Walker, which drops next month. Raddiculous Productions, who also produced the song, directed the image driven music video that I hope puts some things into perspective for this young cats as well as fits into your website format. “Whether its the sacrifice that Martin Luther King and many others made for the advancement and progress of this generation or the history Barack Obama made in becoming the first black president, it seems many of us are attempting to denigrate that progress instead of continuing to advance it. Seeing flyer’s with MLK’s image on it throwing up gang signs with gold chains around his neck this past weekend was it for me.. That frustration led to this track and visual.” – Devine Carama
