Clearly never heard of Run The Jewels
Also Nobody Speak is RTJ too, but produced by DJ Shadow.
And a good video
Modest Mouse and LCD Sound System too. And a few other indie/electro/rap bands that came out of retirement after 2016.
It’s the billionaire pop artists who aren’t protesting, because they don’t want to risk losing 40% of their Spotify revenue.
Even in the 60s it was Neil Young and only a few others responsible for most of the protests songs. Then there were the Guthrey songs, but they all predated the 60s, and just became relevant at the time. And as a bonus, they (and all the previous protest songs) are relevant now too!
