Posted by Atlanta duo EarthGang have shared their new single, ‘Cool Me Down.’ The release arrives in tandem with the beginning of New York Climate Week and stands as a landmark moment in music history: it is arguably the first hip-hop track to officially credit ‘Nature’ as a co-writer. This unique arrangement ensures that all proceeds generated from the release are donated to eco-friendly causes in perpetuity.
A cause deeply rooted in their creative ethos, the duo is set to support the track with a speaking and playback session at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, occurring as part of the UN General Assembly. ‘Cool Me Down’ serves as both a cry of desperation and a gesture of praise, directly tackling the climate crisis and its palpable impact on our daily lives.
“Cool Me Down is electric and hypnotizing. Every sound and word was intentionally chosen to add to the rhythm of nature and enjoyment of life,” the duo explained. “Also, saving the planet should be fun.”
They added, “Nature has always been a part of music and music is the most powerful tool we have in connecting people around a common idea. And that idea is that climate justice is our future.”
Tune in now.
