Proudly carrying the torch that artists like Zack de la Rocha, Woody Guthrie, Chuck D, System of a Down, and Kendrick Lamar lit up with their politically charged lyrics, talented singer, rapper, poet, illustrator, author, and activist Otep Shamaya has proven to be one of the most prolific, sincere and loudest voices in protest music! On their powerhouse eighth studio album, KULT 45, Otep expertly fuses aggressive and pervasive metal molotovs, imbued with eruptive rapcore, that captivate the mind and body, not only with lyrically-embraced social enlightenment, but with poignant messages regarding the current political and cultural conditions in America
