Next week will see the release of Black Milk‘s first album in four years, FEVER. Following his first single “Laugh Now Cry Later,” the Detroit rapper and producer is back with another taste in the form of “True Lies,” a new song that calls out forms of institutionalization in society.
“On ‘True Lies’, I talk about how traditions and institutions are used to keep people from questioning the world around them and from demanding more for themselves,” he says. “When I made the track, I envisioned a world full of zombies being told what to believe. Only a few come to realize most of what they’ve been taught about and within the institutions, like church, school, and government, around them are lies to impede both personal and collective progress.”
