A review by repeatbeatpoet
Track Record by George The Poet

adventurous challenging dark informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.75

useful tool in defining, identifying/recognising, combatting, and subverting instances and systems of white supremacy (the agent of the war on Blackness) across many industries / scales; the music industry, contemporary geopolitics, history & the telling of history, and the life of a young Ugandan boy being raised in North West London (St. Raph's estate) in the late 90s and early 2000s during the birth of Grime, and later, as a poet and author. 

Glad to see George grabbing the thorny questions of what it means to want to create progressive work, and live a progressive life, under systems and within industries which have so much harm and exploitation at their core. (He also does a good job of critiquing himself and the actions of himself and those around him. He uses the retelling of a conversation being hijacked by the whiteness of the sole white voice, a friend's partner, to illustrate the interpersonal manifestations of what Kehinde Andrews would call, the psychosis of whiteness, the personal level attacks by the witting or unwitting agents of the war on Blackness).

more to say, but I'm just glad that George is forever expanding and challenging himself as a writer and somewhat public intellectual/thought leader (although he'd hate the term), and that he is doing this publicly, on the page and at the level of ideas.
