[MUSIC] Jermiside w/Danny Diggs - 'Deep Rivers(Tribute To Fannie Lou Hamer)'

In the MC’s own words:
This track was originally recorded during the “Quiet As Kept” sessions
but it didn’t quite fit with the theme of the album, so we put it in our
pocket and saved it for later. I figured since it’s now Women’s History
Month it was an appropriate time to let the people hear it. The song
was inspired by a tweet from Brother Ali about civil/voting rights
activist Fannie Lou Hamer, whom I had never heard of at the time.
It prompted me to do some research and a song & voilà.
Happy Women’s History Month. - Jermiside
