Paul sadot I just love this artist and his collaborations...all of it. Favorite track: The Reckoning.

Rob O. This one kicks off the trilogy and pushes stretch music to the next level. Christian Scott's forward thinking talent blends genres, using soundscapes filled with explosive energy and a deliberate political voice. The musicians are all first rate and the music is nothing less than spectacular. Favorite track: New Orleanian Love Song.

Ming Fire on all cylinders or should i say trumpets! Favorite track: Ruler Rebel.

$ALMØNBØ¥ 堺鮭 it's gonna be another stunner

Moni Continuing to push the music forward. Stretch Music was probably my most-played album last year and this builds on that. So good. Favorite track: New Orleanian Love Song II [X. aTunde Adjuah Remix].

about

Ruler Rebel is the first in a three-album series collectively titled The Centennial Trilogy.

The series is, at its core, a sobering re-evaluation of the social and political realities of the world through sound. It speaks to a litany of issues that continue to plague our collective experiences. Slavery in America via the Prison Industrial Complex, Food Insecurity, Xenophobia, Immigration, Climate Change, Sexual Orientation, Gender Equality, Fascism and the return of the Demagogue.

The first release in the trilogy, Ruler Rebel, vividly depicts Adjuah's new vision and sound - revealing Adjuah to the listener in a way never heard before via a completely new production methodology that Stretches Trap Music with West African and New Orleanian Afro-Native American styles.

This has become one of the most important albums of my life. It’s essence is indescribable. Every sound from the start of the record through the end is placed delicately and with care. The album cover is by Julie Mehretu. It’s absolutely an incredible release for which I shall be eternally grateful. Aniket
