In mid-December 2015 Motheo Moleko dropped his debut single “Ruse”. In this jovial sounding protest and anguished rant, gracefully bedded on jazzy grooves and broken by soul summoning brass; he mentions “Maybe I should stop complaining/About white washing or black facing/ About your privileged appropriation/”.
This track chauffeurs you through the everyday thoughts of a brown baby, how we are often mislead to believing that we are equal and have the same opportunities as everybody else on this earth when in truth some are more equal than others.
Motheo introduces his new style of delivery in this single and mentions that “Stylistically and lyrically, I have a very specific approach which I’ve been developing and preparing for this moment. So, in many ways, it does feel like starting anew…”
Motheo Moleko formerly of funk-rap band Momentss and founding member of Jeremy Loops truly delivers on this jam, take a listen.
