“Stand With The Protesters” Remix Is Out Now! (@EgDaGovenaw @RASXTR3ME)

Posted on November 15, 2020 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

On Friday, November 13th, E.G. and his team released the remix to his summer hit, “Stand With The Protesters.” For the new version he invited fast rising Jamaican reggae artist Ras Xtr3me, as well as hip-hop lyricists Mr. AMG and J Shadda to join him.

Much like the original, the remix is all about the ongoing struggle for racial equality, not just in the United States of America, but all over the world. This year we have seen a lot of people – of all races and backgrounds – take to the streets to protest what is clearly a systematic bias and prejudice against people of color; particularly black people.

The remix of “Stand With The Protesters” is four times as powerful and is expected to have an even bigger impact than the original. All the artists featured on this record delivered strong verses as they lament on this issue from their unique perspective.
