“Independence” and “freedom” are words that mean very different things depending on who you are. For far too many Americans, freedom means the freedom to treat others how they want with no consequences. But true freedom, true independence is liberation from oppression. It’s a state we have not yet achieved. This month our mixtape features artists who dare to imagine what independence means. From punk pillars like Obnox, Ho99o9, and Rebelmatic to recent visionaries like Dua Saleh and Denzel Curry, our July Mixtape is a different kind of declaration of independence.
