Fantastic Negrito unveils new cut "They Go Low"
Fantastic Negrito has released new single "They Go Low", which is the fourth outing from his forthcoming album and companion film White Jesus Black Problems.
"They Go Low" follows previous releases "Trudoo", "Oh Betty" and "Highest Bidder", and lands with another video directed by Aerick Neal of Shoot Something Productions.
Fantastic Negrito says of the new outing, "When the one percent are making their deals, we’re not at the table. We’re on the menu, so to speak. Especially when I was making the film, I wanted to be sure that I was telling the story of those oppressors, those high bidders. They go low. Low enough to sell your grandmother, low enough to enslave people, low enough to keep poor whites out of work. When people worship money, there’s no limit to how low they’ll go."
White Jesus Black Problems will follow Fantastic Negrito's 2020 album Have You Lost Your Mind Yet?, and will be accompanied by a companion film. The project was written, recorded and filmed in Oakland.
According to a press release, the project is based on "the true story of Negrito’s seventh generation white Scottish grandmother (Grandma Gallamore), an indentured servant, living in a common law marriage with his seventh generation African American enslaved grandfather (Grandfather Courage); in open defiance of the racist, separatist, laws of 1750s colonial Virginia."
