From the dimly lit alleys of urban life emerges “Black Baptist”, a haunting journey through the streets of London from Eor Drahcyr and Blaq Medici. With themes encompassing street crime, mental health and destitution, enigmatic wordsmith Eor Drahcyr spins vivid & poetic tales of inner-city life, where temptation and hardship collide, a world where every corner holds secrets. Menacing opener “Street Baptism” takes a daring stance on knife crime, revealing the twisted allure of violence, whilst “One Day” encapsulates hope of rising above circumstance, against odds stacked like towerblocks, fueled by resilience. But there’s redemption here — a plea for transformation, a baptism of conscience, on contemplative closers “The Cracks” and “Temporary”. The streets become the altar, and the blade, a double-edged revelation. Behind the boards, Blaq Medici melds a tapestry of evocative textures and plaintive melodies, an atmospheric sonic palette that mirrors the struggle — sometimes abrasive, sometimes soothing, always authentic. Black Baptist is out now on all streaming platforms. instagram.com/blaqmedici / instagram.com/eordrahcyrdbn / twitter.com/blaq_medici / blaqmedici@gmail.com credits released May 10, 2024 Lyrics – Eor Drahcyr Music – Blaq Medici Guests – Shyree, Jay Diamond, Don Bevan
