Dubioza Kolektiv - Whistleblower
Lyrics:
Man you get busy now
no more delay
Quit with old habits
Think with your brain
Bypass the system
Don't do what they say
Join the resistance
And never obey
Turn on your wisdom
So you can see wider
Abandon all "isms"
Become a fighter
For the right cause
make right decision
Release your anger
Welcome to Collision
Man you have to hurry up, the hope is fading
Many dark actors playing their roles
Timing is so critical, so step out of the shade
Search doesn't end till' the truth is exposed.
People are skeptical, news that they're hearing
Just a preparation for the new war?
All this subliminal messages receiving
They believe the lies while the truth is ignored.
24/7 news cycle is spinning
producing falseness, outta control
With governmental seal of approval
trusty media choir
Blinded by the lights, the words that you're scared with
Keep your mind focused and stay on your course
Stand for what is right, no place for retreat!
We will need a witness when it starts to get warm.
Don't dig too deep
Way deep in a hole
You wanna know more
Are you sure?
Nothing is potentially more exciting than a musical fusion of two very different cultures. Of course, one thing that makes such a project exciting is the possibility that it will result in musical disaster, and one might be forgiven for expecting exactly that outcome from a fusion of reggae, hip-hop, and Balkan brass band music. Throw in some regionally specific politics and you only make the recipe more volatile. As it turns out in this case, however, the results are mostly very tasty. A sonic and conceptual model for this group would seem to be Asian Dub Foundation, who very successfully blended bhangra, reggae, hip-hop, and jungle in the U.K. in the 1990s (less successfully in the 2000s), and indeed there are tracks on Wild Wild East that reference the ADF formula more or more explicitly: the especially hip-hoppy "Warning" and the especially dubwise "Move Ya," for example. But other songs explore less familiar territory: "90's Surprise" is a weird sort of funk with a slow and rather disjointed groove, while "Whistleblower" has a straight-up vintage punk feel and "U.S.A." moves on a stiff-legged beat around which the horns do a minor-key dance. Music that's this much fun can make it easy to overlook lyrics that say things like "Celebrate the riot/Pull the government down" -- lines that should perhaps give a thoughtful person pause.
