The new AFROPUNK mixtape, 'Where's My Nina Simones? Where's My James Baldwins At?', is now streaming onAFROPUNK Radio. A tribute to a new generation of activists and to the activist in all of us featuring tracks by Adia Victoria, Santigold, Pure Hell, Mickey Lightfoot, The Heavy, Nina Simone and many more!
Indie-pop artist, Dregas, announces the release of her new single, “Skin.” Initially written during the Michael Brown protests, “Skin” is a conversation between a woman of color and a white male regarding the harsh realities of America’s controversial racial and gender divides. According to Dregas, the politically-charged track is meant to shed light on the slants in perception that exist from one group’s reality to another’s. “Skin” is the artist’s second single release since her self-titled EP dropped last year.
The track premiered with Afropunk, who praise, “‘Skin’ is a clever and frank conversation between a woman of color and a white man about the lived realities of racial and gender oppression in patriarchal white supremacist culture.” Find out what Dregas herself had to say about the inspiration behind the song.
