Producer Dustin Haffner collabs with Sacramento Knoxx on "Merda", a new track focusing on community responses to the current wave of police and state violence.

Detroit-based MC and RaizUp Collective member Sacramento Knoxx spits some serious bars over this Haffner production, detailing the rising rates of police-inflicted violence against Black and Indigenous communities across Turtle Island — "a story of resistance and revolt, with reflections from the dehumanizing effects of colonialism".

True to form, Knoxx's latest is a conscious, head-knocking political response to an increasingly dangerous reality.

Sadly, that violent reality is one that has been with us since the first slave ships crossed the Middle Passage, since the first waves of colonial invasion reached Indigenous shores.

Watch, listen and get down with the struggle.
