ADUM⁷ – Wakanda Forever
In celebration of the record-breaking success of Marvel Studios “Black Panther” movie, music producer, ADUM⁷ (fka MeccaGodZilla), releases a brand new tribute EP titled “Wakanda Forever.” Heavily inspired by the Ryan Coogler film, ADUM⁷ took to the keyboard to express sonically his appreciation for the film.
“While taking the film in, it’s hard to not think about black excellence and how things could be if some of our movements were not infiltrated and destroyed. It makes me think about all of our current grassroots organizations and movements that have amazing core ideals and missions. All it would take a few more resources to help level up our organizations to have a scalable social impact worldwide. This film really triggered that parallel for me. Yes, there is a ton of work to be done. My takeaways from this film are that there is true power in the community and the collective efforts of the said community. These are keys from the Black Panther Movie that I look forward to seeing actualized in our own communities off screen.”
The 7 song instrumental EP is a dedication to some of ADUM⁷’s favorite characters in the film, notably King T’Challa, Shuri, Killmonger, Nakia, and Okoye played by Chadwick Boseman, Letitia Wright, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o and Danai Gurira.
“Shuri played by Letitia Wright really did it for me. There’s something about her balance of strength, intelligence, witty jokes and innocence that really did it for me. After leaving the movies I just couldn’t stop thinking about her role and how our younger sisters and cousins must have perceived her. With that in mind, it’s only right that I give back a portion of the proceeds an organization of choice, that being Black Girls Code.”
“Nakia and Okoye’s physical strength, grace, skill, and beauty were absolutely astounding. They did an amazing job showing the different dynamics of what a warrior can be. I absolutely loved that Shuri repped for the warriors that are skilled with ingenuity to fight with their minds. I think Black Girls code would be a great choice to send album proceeds to! The Black Panther Challenge funded many to be able to go see the film, in honor of that energy I want to send funds to an organization responsible for teaching our young sisters how to get busy with coding and technology!”
Although this EP is free, if you are inspired to pay for it, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Black Girls Code. Black Girls Code is a not-for-profit organization that focuses on providing technology education for African-American girls.
