40 Acres N Sum Mula

Description

Berlin rapper Juju Rogers presents his highly anticipated second album, 40 Acres N Sum Mula, featuring a collaboration with the much-hyped Sampa the Great and productions from Farhot (Isaiah Rashad, Talib Kweli), Like (the producer behind Kendrick Lamar’s track “Sing About Me”), Crada (Drake, Kid Cudi), and more... He has come a long way since his widely acclaimed debut album From The Life of A Good For Nothing, touring Europe with DMV veteran Oddisee, becoming the second artist to take part in a COLORS session, and successfully collaborating with Bluestaeb on LIT - Lost In Translation. To return to the forefront, Juju Rogers once again teamed up with Jakarta Records with “40 Acres N Sum Mula,” his second highly anticipated album packed with bangers. Juju Rogers on the title of his album: “40 Acres N Sum Mula (16 hectares and a mule) refers to Special Field Orders No. 15, a promise made by the United States government for an agrarian reform intended to help Black farmers, former slaves. Approved by President Abraham Lincoln, the field claims were written in 1865, and each family was specifically allocated a plot of land of 40 acres (16 hectares) plus a mule for the agrarian reform effort. I changed a mule into sum Mula in order to place the legitimate struggle for equal rights and reparations in the context of our current capitalist world and highlight the historical connection to the beginning of today’s society.” The sound, lyrics and vibes of this album represent a blend of ancestral spirits, old school influences and contemporary features, and guide us through the reflections and rebellious thoughts of a man born and raised in “Germoney,” as he likes to call it.
