30-Day Song Challenge: Day 23

DAY TWENTY-THREE: Song I Think Everyone Should Listen to

Noname (feat. Saba, Smino, Phoelix) – Shadow Man




This song touches on a subject that we all must face one day, our deaths. But it’s more significant because every artist on the song is a young black person talking about their funerals. One wouldn’t imagine a person thinking of their funerals at such a young age, but in this America, it has become commonplace. Lives lost too soon by the systematic oppression and violence from the days of slavery up to now is what this song represents, and it stands as a prayer for those who we’ve lost. Everyone should give it a listen.
