LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, February 29, 2024 \/EINPresswire.com<\/a>\/ — With the election season heating up, Grammy-winning singer\/songwriter Donald \u201cD\u0113P<\/a>\u201d Paige (pronounced Deep) is throwing his music and message in the political ring. With his latest, soulful mixtape<\/a> \u201cThis Sh*t Can\u2019t Wait<\/a>,\u201d the artist sings about topics of racism, sexism and gender and sex equality. On the last day of Black History Month, the artist is encouraging and empowering music lovers around the country to activate your activism. Following in the footsteps of iconic singers\/songwriters like Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, D\u0113P is part of the next wave of musical artists, like Beyonc\u00e9, Jay Z, Janelle Mon\u00e0e and Kendrick Lamar, using his music to politically engage a generation. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis Sh*t Can\u2019t Wait* mixes the soulfulness of R & B and the fusion of sounds of Afrobeats with rap, hip hop, gospel and dance and Jersey club music, delivering a contemporary political cry that he hopes will awaken a nation. \u201cWhen you think of activism, the whole point is to inspire people to get active,\u201d he said. \u201cGet active in your thinking! Get active in educating yourself! Get active in calling things out! Get active in unifying the culture!\u201d D\u0113P was inspired to work on \u201cThis Sh*t Can\u2019t Wait\u201d after collaborating on the single, \u201cSpirit,\u201d for Beyonc\u00e9 and performing \u201cGlory\u201d with Grammy winners John Legend and Common at the 2020 Democratic National Convention. These two projects help water a seed of using his music for purpose, instilled in him as a kid, growing up in Houston, Texas and influenced by his involvement with such community leaders as the late former Texas state legislature Al Edwards and the incomparable late Shirley Joiner, co-founder of the renowned Southeast Inspirational Choir.<\/p>\n

The genre-bending artist released the concept-themed and socially-conscious mixtape in November 2023 as a way of of having his say in this election year. With a combination of innovative word play and energetic vocal delivery, this audio appetizer serves up extraordinary sonic vibrations, including coursed liberations from singles \u201cMovin & Shakin\u201d and \u201cBi In\u201d to soul stirring \u201cHoods Off\u201d and \u201cIt Aint Ever Enough.\u201d And as \u201cBoxes\u201d boldly suggest, the boundaries of genre are courageously burst wide-open.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy music has a purpose outside of my passion,\u201d said D\u0113P. \u201cI love music, but this is the first project I worked on that I\u2019ve been able to create and collaborate freely with some amazing producers and not worry about whether it will be played on the radio, but instead create something that\u2019s for the good of the culture,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

The mixtape include radio-friendly singles \u201cMovin\u2019 & Shakin\u2019, which sparked a dance challenge in Bahia, Brazil that is growing internationally, as well as \u201cNo Black Dummies,\u201d which blends Afrobeats with a southern quartet-style of vocals, encouraging African Americans to not \u201cdumb it down,\u201d but stand up and reclaim their legacy.<\/p>\n

For this project, D\u0113P collaborated with award-winning producers like Mark Byrd (Kanye West, Travis Scott, Jack Harlow, Rapsody), BizKit & Butta (John Legend, Miguel, Ne-Yo), Ray Quasi Nelson (John Baptiste and Drake) and Bo Lamar (Usher, Beyonce, Jay Z, Nipsey Hustle).<\/p>\n

This Sh*t Can\u2019t Wait\u201d speaks unapologetically to the state of Blackness in Black America. It\u2019s a love letter to the iconic leaders of the Civil Rights Movement who pushed progress forward and a contemporary cry to mobilize music fans, and remind them to \u201cstay woke\u201d because the struggle continues. \u201cThis is a very important year. This election will have the power to pivot the country in one direction or another. And we need to pay attention and actively engage to make sure we\u2019re pushing the country in the direction we want,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
