EarthGang Drops New Single “Black Light” from Upcoming EP ‘Robophobia’ Out Nov. 17

November 3, 2023 – Today, dynamic Atlanta-based hip hop duo, EarthGang, returns with their latest single “Black Light” hailing from their next EP installment set to drop November 17th. This fresh funk-inspired release comes on the heels of their Earthgang vs the Algorithm: RIP Human Art EP, which hit the airwaves last month. “Black Light” paves the way as the lead single for their forthcoming Robophobia EP, with a vintage sound and soulful vocals, taking listeners back to the 70s when artists weren’t influenced by the digital age. “Robophobia” will serve as the second chapter in EarthGang’s three-part series under the “Earthgang vs the Algorithm” umbrella, which takes a bold stance against the pervasive influence of algorithms and focuses on true creativity and freedom.

“Black Light” skillfully combines elements of hip-hop and funk to delve into the appreciation of raw human artistry. It boasts a mellow, laid-back tempo underscored by a smooth, groovy bassline that effortlessly envelopes the listener. The recurring lyrics “black light, expose your flaws” serve as a poignant reminder of our ability to acknowledge and grow from our own imperfections. The melodic R&B vocals beckon the audience to introspect and embrace their individuality.

EarthGang has garnered critical acclaim worldwide through its impressive discography which includes Mirrorland, Strays with Rabies, and Ghetto Gods. Their unique blend of southern hip-hop, soulful melodies, introspective lyrics, and genre-bending production has established them as one of contemporary hip-hop’s most innovative, original, and influential acts. Their work is often spotlighted by Rolling Stone, NME, BET, NPR, GQ and more.
