BLUEBIRD
Bluebird
A dream come true for a sister born in springtime. It is a collision of love for hiphop, the land, spoken word, and humanity.
Manifested into an album. A symphony of vivid lyricism, sick beats, soundscapes, witty rhyme schemes, sassy poetics and guest artists take listeners on a journey home. Back to our original selves. Rooted in strength of land, personal introspection, and community.
Content includes: Strengthening of Self Land Based Healing. Overcoming Inner Beasts. Interrelationality. Ecological Wisdom. Environmental Violence. Responsibility to Future Generations. Emotional Authenticity. Sustainable Resistance. Freedom and Forgiveness.

By funding this project, you are supporting members of communities rooted in the Indigenous Southwest.
“If you’re going to name the problem in your artistry, if you’re going to name the enemy, if you’re going to talk about things that are upsetting (i.e. colonization, injustice, etc.), you have to do it in a way that fosters healing. You never want to want to traumatize someone, re-traumatize someone or whip a wound off, and then walk away because then it’s about you, rather than for the long term vision of restoration.”
