At Colonial Crip, we believe that artistic expression is an important tool for Black empowerment. We believe that Black creators deserve safe spaces of creative and constructive output to be themselves and share their culture proudly. We have observed a beautiful opportunity to be present for the celebration of Black culture, Black excellence, and Black achievement through the platform of Gangsta Rap. We understand the sabotaging of Black communities in America have created a criminalized state of existence for the men of warrior nature in our community who embrace their nature for the empowerment of themselves and their community no matter the cost. We understand how this endangers us to systems of slavery, both under the criminalization of the law as well as in dynamics of economy. Due to this comprehensive understanding of the state of danger facing black warriors, we are dedicated to the protection, preservation, advocacy, empowerment, redemption, reconstruction, reparation, and emancipation of all Black warriors. We believe that the platform of Gangsta rap appropriately outlets the expression of the identity of the Black warrior and that this outlet of creativity should be protected at all costs. By preserving the outlets of expression for our Black warriors we are providing our community with a voice. With this voice we are able to tell the stories of ourselves and our loved ones, our ancestors and our descendants. We are able to maintain a collective body of identity by protecting our voice. With this collective, we represent ourselves and the various aspects of our identities and this representation of our community protects the existence of both ourselves and other identities of similar expression. This is how we use our voices as positive forces for change, by expanding the radius of our influence and promoting the celebration of our people and their continued existence. As a collective identity representing the warriorship of Blackness, we are able to reach audiences that may have otherwise never came across the existence of the Black warrior and we are able to use that position in a new environment to educate fresh audiences to the realities of Black existence. The integration of America has been systemically and systematically sabotaged to restrict Black communities to conditions of inequality. By participating in an art form that connects us to communities of higher wealth, we are able to begin to dismantle forces and agendas of segregation, as well as forced integration. We wholeheartedly believe that by giving a voice to the Gangsta Rappers of America, we will be able to create a more balanced and Pro-Black America for the children of tomorrow. Gangsta Rappers come from all of the communities targeted the most heavily by forces of segregation. The solutions to dismantle the environment of oppression and injustice while constructing an environment of freedom and empowerment for all Black people will come from those Black warriors who have applied their warrior spirit in a pathway that has empowered their continued influence because the influence they have achieved to command is a direct causal result of their community recognizing their message as true and celebrating that message for its representative nature. By protecting the expression of Black warriors through Gangsta Rap, we protect the position of the representative Black Civil Rights Leader. Gangsta Rappers have been witness to the extremities of racial injustice and oppressive disorder and the music they make is to highlight and document their observations and experiences of reality in an attempt to educate the onlooking audience towards the acceptance and understanding of Revolutionary Black Masculinity. By focusing on music, those of us whose warrior nature may otherwise be under attack in America have an opportunity to take a stand for the communities we come from by sharing our experiences to inspire others and provide hope, moral support, emotional strength, courage, and advocacy to other community members like ourselves and we can begin to use our shared experiences of Blackness to create a collective safe space to address and dismantle the oppressive economic and governmental tactics used against the Black community, as well as towards non-black communities of counter-culture. By utilizing our voices to represent our community, we honor the sacrifices of every civil rights leader, activist and artist that preceded our own voices by assuming the responsibility of Black cultural leadership after generations of political assassinations, sabotage and deceit have left us without many of our original leaders that would still be alive today, were it not for the terroristic agenda of white supremacist power structures. We are the culture, and our message is simple: Black warriors will be redeemed of our/their innocence, because we/they were never guilty to begin with. They have internalized a violence that has been created and cast onto them by the terroristic patriarchal white supremacist agenda in America and in our opinion, they have done a tremendous and commendable job at preserving their identities through this violent state of existence. Gangsta Rap has educated the world about the injustices faced in the Black community and raised awareness for and given hope to so many young Black warriors across America. It is time we do more than listen to the music. It's time we start to centralize the perspective and identity of the Black American Gangsta Rapper in the conversations about racial oppression, injustice and inequality. Whether right or wrong, these warriors of our community have walked the closest path to our beloved and departed civil rights leaders to redeem themselves of the criminalization they face. The music that will be released thru the entertainment channels of Colonial Crip will reflect and represent the belief that the celebration of Black American culture thru entertainment will protect redeem and empower Black Americans everywhere through the impact of influential activism.
We are always open to connecting with other rappers who share our beliefs of pro-blackness. We are currently looking for an Entertainment Lawyer to help us create artist contracts in a structure that does not resemble or re-invoke any dynamics of slave-ownership or racial domination, as well as to help us learn about the legal side of entertainment business and what we have to learn as artists about that to make sure that we are doing everything responsibly. We are also looking for an Artist Manager to help us with promotion and performance opportunities. We are always open to any other unspecified connections that may bring us closer to our goals of protected community.
When speaking about American Fashion, the only relevant collective represented is the Culture. It is simply called the Culture because no matter how much the pre-existing power structures of this world attempt to maintain the centralization of white supremacist identities and ideologies in society, the social fabric of the collective American experience is one that is representative of an integrated experience to unite within our communities and co-exist with our oppressors because this is the reality we are subjected to experience in America and in the other countries occupied by white supremacist power structures. In this shared experience of being subjected to an oppressive systemic rule of white supremacy, those identities who have been the most marginalized by the force of segregation will become the natural leaders towards movements of active and effective social and cultural resistance against the forces of division. The environment of economic division under white supremacy has empowered artists of Black Culture to be entitled to a position where they can use their voice to assert their political beliefs. What this does is provide the Black community with the resource of representation, a tool that has been systemically diminished in areas of civil rights , social entitlements and economic liberties. By using our creative existences to represent our identities through art, we are able to contribute to the forces of decolonization and reconstruction. We are able to take a positions as creators and turn ourselves into a force of non-violent action. We become a threat to the system of white power without becoming a force of direct violence. The Culture as we call it today, started with the streets. It started with basketball, skateboarding and streetwear brands, rappers and entertainers, with women, with children, with the ghetto, the hood, this shit started with us. The Culture is about We, The People. America was never about the force of ungoverned terroristic white power, but the nature of resistance and revolution against the systems of oppression created from those forces of white supremacy. At Colonial Crip, we believe America is being guided by the energy of a future where the power structures of white supremacy will be dismantled. Those of us who believe in the true ideals of unification and co-existence without the hierarchal structure of white supremacy will always feel connected to this culture of togetherness against oppression because this is the truth to America. It is the social force of the people of the first-world. It is the achievement of power in a system meant to disempower you. It is the repossession of indigenous power that has been systematically restricted from returning to its origins. It is the reclamation of Royalty for those whose wealth has been stolen from originally. It is the creation of a safe space through art. When you wear a brand whose culture and actions represents and protects your people, the effect is that you feel more comfortable to be yourself and assert your identity in this world as boldly as you are meant to. It may or may not be an actively conscious identification of resistance, but nonetheless, fashion is used by everyone to express and assert their cultural and political identities. The resistance is fluid, you can't contain it, and you can't identify it from a political viewpoint. It is shaped by subconscious expressions of identification with community. By representing your community thru fashion, you empower your people to lessen the gap of social inequality and this strengthens your community's position to earn and retain social currency which leads to financial empowerment. The existence of the artistic creator then becomes a pathway of non-violent reconstruction. This culture of social and cultural resistance through artistic representation becomes a symbol of hope and strength for the identities that are opposing to white supremacy. It is the social force of the future and the attitude of that future being actively manifested by the youth through both creative and destructive methods. It is the human relation and connection between a community's people and that community's representations of power. The culture, simply put: is the fashion of a unified and militant generation of pro-Black centralized activism, social resistance and economic empowerment.
We are looking for a quality sustainable hemp supplier to create clothing. We would prefer this connection to be from Jamaica but we are open to all identities respectful of Rasta belief systems and traditions. We are also incredibly interested in collaborating with DGK.
At Colonial Crip, We believe that those of us who are drawn to athletics are expressing a transformed militancy due to the calling of their Spirit. We believe it takes a respectable amount of dedication and commitment to self-growth to be able to embrace playing any sport on a serious level. The nature and maturity needed to become the greatest athlete in your game is synonymous with the greatness needed to become a commanding warrior. We believe that the dedication that it takes to commit yourself to a sport is an honorable quality that indicates that a person is properly motivated and is able to embrace a leadership position with trust and responsibility. To become a serious athlete you must apply yourself with a motivation that would direct you into military combat if incarnated in a time period when your divine sport was not accessible to you. It is from this fire of war from which we operate as athletes. With this internalized fire of Spirit, we are able to turn our sports into spaces of Black Culture and Community, which creates a society which both protects us and endangers us further. In pursuit of an athletic, academic or any other kind of career which requires participation in systemic compliance or complicity, we are not always protected in spaces of white centralization. In these systems of occupation we experience our warrior nature through the pacified containment of athletics, where our biological capabilities are exploited to create a culture of fetishization and slave dynamics. At Colonial Crip we believe in the protection and advocacy of Black Athletes across all sports. In addition to embracing certain sport teams apparel to display Gang Colors, we will also embrace the Jerseys of those athletes who we believe have demonstrated a strong will to maintain their Blackness and Revolutionary capabilities despite the agenda of their leagues or owners. We believe organizations such as the NFL and the NBA are modern day slave systems designed to indoctrinate Black Men into positions of being owned and controlled by White Masters. We believe the WNBA experiences a cultural suppression due to the fact that they are women. We support all Black athletes in their journeys of athleticism and activism and will provide support in the form of advocacy and allyship. Our heart is with you. We understand the struggles of choosing a calling above the streets and still having to be subjected to a slave system of control. Please Stay Strong.
We are looking for Hoodoo and Voodoo practitioners to help us dismantle the slave systems that indoctrinate our warriors. We are also looking for athletes, especially those with pre-existing Gang Relations, to expand their cultural impact through Gang-Related Activism. In addition, We would love to be able to skate with Lil Wayne and find common ground.
