Lyrics:

You can tell his mother she can thank him
And that she can wash his hands
And she can exercise her demands
Only when she gets to heaven

Tell your mother they shot him down
Snuck in like a pride of lion
Each carried a gun and carried a knife
As he lay next to his wife

Tell your mother she was naked
When they drew her out in the street
Called her a criminal and a cheat
Far from the safety of her bed

Tell your mother she is gone
Tell your mother it was wrong
You can call'em pigs and call'em thieves
For they took the lives of such as these

Tell your mother she is gone
Tell your mother it was wrong

Wede Harer Guzo
by Hailu Mergia

This might actually be my favorite record ever. Angelic and super chill, it is great for conjuring zen and relaxing your mind. Mergia is a prolific genius and a master of melody. Jack Holloway

Afrique Victime
by Mdou Moctar

Easily the best album of 2021. Full of thumping beats, sky-reaching guitar solos, and sweet melodic flows, this Nigerian jazz-funk fusion record is an instant classic. Jack Holloway

Obaa Sima
by Ata Kak

Minimalist and lo fi, this album still looms large. Prince-like, Strafe-like, yet totally unique. With banger after banger, it is groovy af and will have you dancing a jig anywhere you listen to it. Jack Holloway
