Living in the Shadow: new album by Emcee Lynx, free for download

The songs on Living in the Shadow deal with issues ranging from Global Warming and the flooding of New Orleans to direct action forest-defense campaigns and social justice to the absurdity of mainstream black-face rap music to songs about life, love, and family. The instrumentals range from funk to trip hop to downtempo and hip hop, and include production work by artists in three countries. Think of it as the most danceable blog you’ve listened to this year.

Emcee Lynx has been featured on compilations and mixtapes all over the world. His last album, The UnAmerican LP, was reprinted in Indonesia as a benefit for political prisoners and in Germany as a benefit for a local radical bookstore. Previous albums have been reprinted as fundraisers for anarchist groups from the US to the Czech Republic. He has also performed at anti-war rallies all over the US, at Reclaim the Streets protests and street parties, and at political events and parties of all kinds.
