Nearly 50 years after the late Great Nina Simone chided America with her heralded hit record “Mississippi Goddam.” Milwaukee raptivists Gat Turner and Viva Fidel, have echoed her sentiment in their first highly anticipated release of their Hip Hip hit “Killwaukee God Damn!”

Gat Turner and Viva Fidel are best known for conducting the “Killwaukee Xperiment,” their controversial, but highly acclaimed mixtape. These Brothers have hit us again with another head banger. Just as “Mississippi Goddam” was a protest song for the murder of Medgar Evers, and the 1963 Church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama which killed four little Black girls. “KGD” is an artistic interpretative response to life in the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin as people of color. With the deaths of Darius Simmons, Derek Williams, Corey Stingley, Dontre Hamilton and the backseat beating of a handcuffed Jeanine Tracy by a Milwaukee police officer, it is evident that the voices of Gat Turner and Viva Fidel is an artistic, collective cry for change. Speaking on many of the issues that others in the religious, political and even the Hip Hop communities have deemed the proverbial “Elephant in the Room,” these ‘edutainers’ have once again provided us with a profound provocation of thought.
