Blak-Ram featuring Rakim "Heartbreak" [Lyric Video]

Blak-Ram drops more heat  with  a  legendary  feature on an emotional track called Heartbreak about loss, legacy, self determination, resistance, resilience, martyrdom, rebuilding and the painful healing process from the heartbreak that the Sudanese people have endured.  Celebrating his father's legacy and using it as motivation to fight the forces of darkness in Sudan.

Featuring the legendary G.O.A.T. MC the one and only Rakim. Rakim blesses the track with his same verse from "Now is the Time" from the G.O.D's network: Reb7rth, but this time incorporated into a different theme of legacy and posthumous power. 

Blak-Ram "Blood Gold"

Blak-Ram has dropped a controversial track by calling out the United Arab Emirates  role in Sudan's devastating war by way of illegal gold smuggling and arms trafficking to the Rapid Support Forces, a violent militia that has been accused of committing genocide by the ICC.

The hook is catchy but the theme is serious, it's a mellow summer soundtrack that has been repurposed to shine a light on what's going on in Blak-Ram's country, through slick flows, storytelling lyricism and clever wordplay and the bass really pops through the speakers.

Blak-Ram continues to use music to bring awareness to what's going on in his country Sudan, but this time focusing on the big players exploiting the conflict for profit, whereas in his previous song "No More Tears (Sudan)" focused on the humanitarian impact and the direct perpetrators just briefly mentioning Abu Dhabi's involvement without fully examining their role.

 According to many analysts and human rights activists, the UAE has been accused of sportswashing to whitewash its foreign policy through massive sponsorships and major investment. The UAE has been allegedly been involved in destabilising the region,  by continuing to expand its sphere of influence to gain access to ports land and precious minerals.

Blak-Ram "No More Tears (Sudan)"

 

Blak-Ram just dropped "No More Tears (Sudan)" which is an emotional song about the war in Sudan (that has reportedly claimed 150,000 lives), the toll the war has had on ordinary Sudanese citizens lives and the unspeakable horrors that they have witnessed and experienced.

The majority of the song documents the widespread atrocities perpetrated by the Rapid Support Forces including systematic rape, torture destruction of and genocide but also addresses the Sudanese Army’s failures to protect civilians, indiscriminate bombing, blocking aid and arming of militias.

The song also endorses the right to armed resistance with women taking up arms to protect themselves from sexual violence. The message is to stand up and fight against the RSF and to call out the countries that are arming them. The song contains an emotional hook from an anonymous artist that really touches your soul with a soft piano melody that empathises the sadness of the track and tries to get you to feel what  sudanese civilians are going through everyday. Blak-Ram's own family got displaced and several of  his relatives are stuck in difficult circustances both in Sudan and aboad. Sudan has been described as the forgotten war

with what could possibly be the worst humantarian crisis in the world right now with 2 million children at severe risk of starvation.

The visuals for the song are available on YouTube and match the song’s lyrics word by word they are difficult to watch but necessary to understand what sudanese people are going through as always there are a list of charities to help the sudanese people in the video’s description and credits.
