First Nations electronic DJ trio A Tribe Called Red have announced a new album, We Are the Halluci Nation–out September 16 via Radicalized Records. It features Saul Williams and Polaris Prize winner Tanya Tagaq, among other artists. The group have shared a new song from the project, “R.E.D.,” which features Yasiin Bey (fka Mos Def), Canadian-Iraqi MC Narcy, and Black Bear (a drum group from the Manawan Atikamekw Nation in Quebec). Stream it below. Scroll down for the tracklist and album artwork.
Bey is currently facing legal troubles in South Africa due to the use of a false passport and travel documents. In a press release, the group said, “The Halluci Nation has no barriers, it sees no borders and their operatives are everywhere. Yasiin Bey is an ally of the Halluci Nation who has been unjustly detained in Johannesburg, South Africa by the ALie-Nation.”
