about

These are the instrumentals to my August 21st, 2017 album, BLACK SUN. i am finally releasing them to the world as I know some people may want them. This album is very special as it holds various meanings that are explained in the description of the source album: ahmedisthemusic.bandcamp.com/album/black-sun.

The reason for the color change, besides distinguishing it from the other, is that the color for 2018, as I've discovered was chosen, is Ultra Violet. I found that very interesting as the actual ultraviolet light that is given off by the sun, is the very thing that stimulates the production of melanocytes, which is how people of darker hues produce more melanin to protect their body from the rays of the sun...but even more so, the more melanin one has, the more energy is being absorbed and then redistributed throughout the body, so aside from protection, it also acts as a solar panel for us, and with all that has been leveled against darker human beings, from the ugliness we know as racism, it's a beautiful flipping of the script to know that what was (and sometimes still is) considered repulsive is actually a benefit and natural blessing.

Sociology aside, this is the soundtrack on which the verbal content was built on and is as much as the narrative as the vocals.
