He’s been all over MSM as well, and he performed at a recent ACLU event.

But he needs more songs. It’s just the one that he keeps pushing.

I was introduced to him via social media. The song is Heavy Foot. I really it and like his music.

With respect to you and RATM, I think OP is asking why they and so few others don’t have something new responding to the last year, or the last decade. Spike Lee asked Public Enemy to write an anthem to use in Do the Right Thing and they came up with Fight the Power within days. Where is everyone?

Another poster mentioned Labour on the previous page. That’s the answer. It’s been all over social media for the last year+.

I'm certainly not in the zeitgeist but what am I missing today?

He’s all over my feeds too, luckily I like the song. He does have plenty of other songs, this is just the one getting attention. Interesting back story too.

Labour is a feminist anthem, not a protest song about our government.

I do like that What's Up is making a resurgence though.
