Soul Glo - Diaspora Problems

Diaspora Problems begins with the sound of a bong rip – but a very gentle one. Soul Glo need to save their breath for the rest of the breakneck ride that’s coming up, in which they outrun or confront everyone coming for their necks, whether it’s themselves, their therapists, racist cops, the music industry or society at large. The quartet’s urgency is unmistakable from the first caterwauled cries of “can I live?” and “who gon’ beat my ass?” in opener “Gold Chain Punk”, and it doesn’t let up for the rest of the album. This is Real Ass Life for a group of anxious yet outspoken (mostly) Black men in modern day Philadelphia, and it’s unfiltered.

I am absolutely LOVE this rip-roaring new album from Soul Glo. I think that comes across in my review which you can read here.
