about

My first overtly political song. After watching the news one evening my frustration boiled to a breaking point, and this song poured out of me.

lyrics

You deny the truth
When it gets in your way

False reality
In everything that you say

And then I wonder
How...Why
they believe in you

It's cause you play on their fears
Orange is the new blues

Cant Be a stable genius
And Actin' like a natural-born fool

Lie so much
Can't even tell what's true

Lord tell me
WHY
How Can they refuse

To See What it is
Orange... is the new blues

Ya don’t like it...
Its Fake news

Sayin things...
You cant Prove

You treat the people...
By your own rules

And Facts are something...
You pick and choose

What I'm sayin' my people
Orange...is the new blues

I wouldn't believe it if wasn't true
Orange... Is The New Blues

Brother Yusef’s music is exuberant, bouncing with a highly rhythmic beat and slippery with a wildly flailing slide; this Bakersfield born, dreadlocked bluesman chugs and stomps the blues with impassioned devotion.

A stand-out talent
