I heard this song on WMPG's show, #TheWeavers with #LisaSockabasin. What a great lead-up to today's #DemocracyNow broadcast (Weavers is at 11:30am, while Democracy Now airs at Noon).

"You provided us a home; our conduct is shameful
Momma! We need you now more than ever
I can't believe the way we treated you; better late than never
I've taken you for granted but from here and now I cherish you
And this my open letter to show the pain that I share with you
You've given us a life, my brothers make you hurt
But all they see is dollar signs when stealing out your purse
Man, they never taken the time to see you for what you really worth
But the damage done is permanent it can't be reversed

Oh Momma! You really made some shady people
You've given them the world but like the sun you see no evil
Momma D was my teacher but she gone now
I know where I belong now; my mother's keeper
So Momma I refuse to see you die this way
I take your pain to fuel my fame to fight the game another day

It's oil mines and pipelines; show me what the cancer is
Injected in your veins I'll tell you what the answer is
Momma, Momma!
(Wade, in the water)
Momma, Momma!
(Wade, in the water, children)"

Nuuk Posse – Kaataq (1996, Greenland)

Continuing our journey through the epic Fedi-sourced catalogue of must-hear albums, our next spotlight is on number 414 on The List, submitted by Almoehi. Originally formed in 1984-85 as a DJ/breakdance trio, Nuuk Posse released their first single in 1992 and rapped primarily in Kalaallisut/West Greenlandic and Danish, making them both the first Greenlandic rap group and a very influential group in Greenland's hip-hop scene. This album is their 2nd and final studio album, put out by Belgian label Sub Rosa.
