Purple Presents: Collapsing Scenery’s “Bush Mama Blues”
“We often think about phenomena like the cycle of white flight, urban decay, and gentrification as a kind of force of nature, when in fact these patterns are largely socially engineered. This song is about the rapacious greed and racism of landlords, developers, and city planners. The video, directed by JON MORRIS and BRANAN EDGENS, features the legendary Era Footwork Crew from Chicago, kings of finding and making beauty and urgency in urban spaces.”
— REGGIE DEBRIS
