New York’s Oxymorrons have announced the details of their upcoming debut album ‘Melanin Punk’, set for release on October 20 and available to presave here.
It features collaborations with Hyro the Hero, Kid Bookie & Troi Irons alongside new single ‘Graveyard Words’ which you can check out below:
On the inspiration behind the track, the band said “It’s about speaking with intentions. Words carry weight and you can manifest positivity but also negativity with the things you say – on the extreme side of the spectrum it could cost you your life. It’s about the laws of attraction through words. The chorus sounds like a threat coming from an individual – like ‘yo watch yer mouth or I’ll f*ck you up’ – but it was really written from the perspective of the universe/karma warning us humans. A small example is we try not to use the word ‘hate’ in our vocabulary when describing something we don’t like. We’re not always successful, but just trying to remove that word so that we don’t attract hatred into our life and leave that portal open for hate to come through. You attract what you project, and we project positivity.“
