The Last Rainforest Is Now in Decay

The Future Now Resembles the Past by Kinte is the third installment in an Afrofuturist hip-hop trilogy. Part 1, The Future Is Ours, was the warning. Part 2, The Future Is Here, showed the future arriving. Now Part 3 shows humanity slipping backward, repeating the same mistakes it promised to learn from. This album tells a darker chapter where the Eden Protocol has not been activated, the last rainforest is decaying, the children of the algorithm become the system, and the future begins to look like the past all over again. But even in the collapse, the final track leaves a small glimmer of hope that the next generation may finally break the cycle. Samples come from Tubeway Army by Tubeway Army, Telekon by Gary Numan, and Warriors by Gary Numan.
