We Got To Change ( Obey & James Brown estate voting initiative)

As an homage to the legendary performer and in collaboration with the James Brown estate as well as The Center For Common Ground on robust initiatives to boost Black voter turnout; the artist released this print, unannounced in early September 2024. The work pictures James Brown , in the midst of a soulful performance and celebrates a recently unearthed song from The James Brown Archive; ”We Got To Change” . The long lost song has become a mantra of the upcoming 2024 election, for many. FROM THE ARTIST; ”The Center for Common Ground, a non-partisan group, focuses on empowering Black voters in the South, where voter suppression remains an issue.” ”This partnership celebrates James Brown's musical genius and his lifelong dedication to education and voting rights.” ”His legacy in music and social change is undeniable, and hip hop wouldn't be the same without his influence.” ”Everyone from the golden age of hip hop samples James Brown!” -Shepard
