Consider yourself lucky if you can’t empathize with Red Pill. No one channels bleakness better than the blue-collar Michigan MC, whose sophomore solo LP for Mello Music Group, "Instinctive Drowning" plays out like the ghost of Bukowski on a snarling bender. Here is the new P.O.S featured single “The New Normal,” which chronicles his bout with viral meningitis, a disease practically alien to those in their late 20s, save for those whose livers are already ravaged.
"The American Dream is one of the most dangerous ideologies our country has created. It assumes that if you're smart enough and work hard enough, anyone can climb the socioeconomic ladder. It neglects the reality that many in our country and in our world begin their lives with a socioeconomic head-start; be it race, sex, money...
The privileged and advantaged can't help but shove their "hard-work'" and "can-do attitude" in our faces, masquerading their lottery style births as some kind of ambition that the rest of us don't have. "Fuck Your Ambition." We don't love it and don't believe it." - Red Pill
