A Tribe Called Red

r.e.d.

We Are The Halluci Nation! Canada's A Tribe Called Red is finally back with a new album on September 16, which will feature Yasiin Bey (the artist formerly known as Mos Def), Saul Williams, Shad and Tanya Tagaq amongst others.

A first taste comes in the form of “R.E.D.“, which combines traditional and synthetic sounds to perfection once again. Seriously, this is pure excellence - and the accompanying video directed by Narcy actually is equally as impressive.

“The Halluci Nation is here. It was an absolute honor for my directorial debut to be for artists as important and integral to the story of the world, as A Tribe Called Red and Yasiin Bey. This time capsule and visual to R.E.D. is about one man finding himself, and reconnecting with Planet Earth. As an emissary of the Halluci Nation, I arrive to guide him back to himself, so he can find us again. It is the story of breaking ground, finding light and faith. It is about the power of our ancestors and the power of us. It is the beginning. The Callers of Names want us to forget, but we know where we are from. And we know where we are headed. For Kanata. For Africa. For Arabia.” - Narcy
