MUMBAI: Multi-platinum Grammy award-winning recording artists, the Black Eyed Peas have returned with new social and political force with a song titled Street Livin’. The song is available for streaming and digital download via all participating digital retailers.
Street Livin’ highlights four intersectional issues largely impacting communities of color – Police Brutality, Prison Reform, Gun Reform, and Immigration. The song was inspired by their ambitious groundbreaking graphic novel distributed by Marvel Comics, Masters of the Sun: The Zombie Chronicles and the issues that were present in the novel (80’s) are still major issues that we are battling today.
The group has also recently released the companion AR- augmented reality app for their graphic novel distributed by Marvel Comics, Masters of the Sun: The Zombie Chronicles – available on iOS and Android.
