Fold – Aphelion (ft. Mr Gee)

Aphelion features UK poet Mr Gee’s powerful tribute to trailblazing black author & activist Lorraine Hansberry

Aphelion is a collaboration with the celebrated UK poet Mr Gee who wrote & performed this poem delivering his honest take on the world’s response to Black Lives Matter. Aphelion is also the title track from our third album, released in October 2021, in tribute to the visionary author and activist Lorraine Hansberry.

“So Spare me your liberal cries, Or carefully painted protest signs, Because I know that today’s ally so woke, Can float with tomorrow’s white flight, It’s just a matter of time, As we all sink into this difficult history, 400+ years underwater And I’m still struggling to breathe.

— Mr Gee
