about

The idea for an Afrofuturism St. Louis compilation started in the spring of 2019 as an extension of the Rhizomatic St. Louis compilations of regional underground music I had previously released five volumes of on cassette. The original plan was to have a tape release show, with live performances, in the spring of 2020 at a Bruxism event. I’m thrilled to see it finally published as it has been in limbo since the Covid-19 pandemic. It features excellent work from the following St. Louis-based artists: Virgil Work, Jr., Nadir Smith, 18andCounting, Parisian, Delta Cool Breeze (Itshanapa Dail Chambers), Ra Child, Ariel Kenyatta, Ethiks Mind, Michael Williams, Syna So Pro and William Morris. Published in conjunction with a New Music Circle online concert of Nadir Smith and Virgil Work, Jr. premiering on November 8th. Concert details at: www.newmusiccircle.org. All proceeds from the cassette purchases and digital downloads will go to ArchCity Defenders (www.archcitydefenders.org). —Nathan N. Cook
