Fresh from supporting Kneecap across the USA, Revival Season are set to make their Irish live debut in The Workman’s Cellar next month. The hip hop duo’s striking debut album ‘Golden Age Of Self Snitching’ arrived in February via Heavenly Records.
Emerging from Georgia?s Pentecostal churches and grassroots hip-hop scene, Revival Season finds rapper Brandon “BEZ” (B Easy) Evans and beatmaker/producer Jonah Swilley exploring the disillusionment that comes with making music in the shadow of current mainstream hip-hop culture.
“There’s these people that document what’s going on in hip-hop from the outside — they kinda pose as news, they dress the part and they talk the part, but beyond the surface it’s just people that are coming from outside the culture to profit off of pain,” states Evans.
“Everybody’s racing to do the most, to be the most, to show the most — The Golden Age of Self-Snitching is a commentary on that. Who’s gonna get the biggest prize for telling on themselves, exploiting themselves? People are fed into a machine that chews them and spits money out the other end — it’s destruction for profit.”
