Angry Blackmen Drop “Sabotage”

Angry Blackmen have shared their new single, “Sabotage"

Angry Blackmen, is the experimental hip-hop duo that includes Quentin Branch and Brian Warren. Today, the Chicago duo have shared their new single, “Sabotage,” the track is lifted from their forthcoming album, The Legend of ABM, which drops on January 26th, 2024 via Deathbomb Arc. Following lead single “Stanley Kubrick,” “Sabotage” is “a critique on our love / hate relationship with capitalism and perspectives on mental health,” state Branch and Warren. The song taps directly into this hopelessness with lines like “Trapped like an animal // Amerikkka the cannibal // Penny pinchin // still tryna keep up with the annual.” It is another thrilling glimpse at The Legend of ABM, which is a 30-minute narrative centered around Black men navigating this wilderness known as North America.

Branch and Warren first met in 2014, with Warren eventually suggesting they join forces as a duo towards the end of 2016. The Legend of ABM–the duo’s third release for Deathbomb Arc, the progressive Philadelphia-based label known for its avant and eclectic roster with releases from Death Grips, JPEGMAFIA, clipping., Julia Holter, U.S. Girls. The album features guest appearances from Fatboi Sharif, Nordra, Skech185, and Abbie From Mars. The Legend of ABM, Branch and Warren share personal anecdotes of tragedy and survival over soundscapes created from the future. It is their strongest work to date, but it’s no excursion for the weak. The two emcees provide a passionate yet introspective look at the world-at-large, their raw, pathos-infused poetry educating the listener of the pre-apocalyptic world we’re already living in.
