Moor Mother Signs to ANTI-, Shares New Song “Zami”

Experimental composer, rapper, poet and activist Camae Ayewa (aka Moor Mother) has spent almost the last decade channelling her powerful, community-focused vision through various projects, musical and otherwise. Wednesday, she shared “Zami”, produced by frequent collaborator Madam Data, and announced that she’s signed to ANTI- Records.

“Zami,” Moor Mother’s first offering since last year’s collaboration with Billy Wood, is a dynamic, haunting track built upon layers of noise that cascade over each other, anchored by Ayewa’s mesmerizing lyrics. Of the track, Moor Mother says, “Using the lenses of Black Quantum Futurism, the lyrics speak to Time and Space, injustice, racism, erasure of African identity. ‘Zami’ speaks of agency and something beyond freedom. It speaks of another future. It speaks about connections free from the stains of colonialism. It speaks about the expansive temporalities of Afro Diasporan people around the world.”
