Planet Hemp publishes the video of “Dystopia” with Criolo

or Planet Hemp launched in Youtube your unprecedented clip dystopiawhich counts with the participation of the singer Creole. The song is now available on digital platforms via Som Livre.

dystopia bets on a narrative with a dual function: if on the one hand it tells a portrait of current and (sur) truly dystopian Brazil, on the other it invokes the popular power of reaction and mobilization. The characteristic critical tone is one of the salient points of the works of Planet Hempand even more symbolic in music, raising necessary and urgent debates in the present moment.

The audiovisual recording of dystopia get to the same humor provocative and rock’n roll, the latter partly present in the sound, which is combined with influences from hip-hop, but 100% in the subversive attitude. With direction signed by Marcelo D2 and produced by its manufacturer Dilated pupilthe music video features the quintet currently formed by Marcelo D2, BNegão, Formigão, Pedro Garcia And Nobru next to Creolein takes alternating urban scenarios of protests and police raids, with others in the midst of nature.

Surrealism is also present leading to BNegão too big for the small dining room of the traditional Brazilian family – which for a good connoisseur only needs a half word -, while exposing rhymes such as “The eyes of those who do not see want to judge you / Let me with / Let me with / Let me condemn / This is liberating, sprouting the seed / Spirit in charge, freedom for the minds now”. Attentive fans will also pick up on the title of the group’s next album, which is slated for release on end of October.

“Recorded in four days in Rio de Janeiro and split into twelve scenes, the Dystopia video is a fantastic trailer of what’s to come in the audiovisual of the entire disc”declares Marcelo D2.

The critique of the current system continues in verse such as “Those who hold power must be afraid / Fear of the people” and “Blind faith, radicalism, seriously, you can only joke / It’s all wrong brother, so take the vision / The poor defend the rich / the employee, the boss / The politician becomes a hero, superhero judges “, sung by D2.

The combative and questioning proposal of the production – both in the texts and in the dystopia – it becomes impossible to break away from the current socio-political scenario, especially if we consider the timing next to the elections. When asked if the piece has a political nature, the group presents its point of view: “Planet Hemp has always been a protest movement. Our lyrics, which once took us to prison, are a reflection of what we think of this system, of the collective ideal and of our way of expressing our own through music. manifesto. It goes far beyond a political discourse, it is a much deeper musical discourse on freedom of thought “.
