Lukah & Real Bad Man - Temple Needs Water. Village Needs Peace. 2xLP

"Temple Needs Water. Village Needs Peace." is a philosophical exploration into the essence of community, spirituality, and transformation. This 15-track collaboration between producer Real Bad Man and Memphis rapper LUKAH meditates on themes of unity, leadership, sacrifice, and renewal. With contributions from billy woods (Armand Hammer), Adrian Utley (Portishead), and Shabaka Hutchings, this album ascends through personal and spiritual achievements, delves into the duality of knowledge, the unseen forces, and the cyclical nature of life and death. The album reflects on growth, resilience, duty, ancestral wisdom, and the healing power of words, culminating in a celebration of inner peace and communal harmony. With a backbone of musically ambitious beats and soul-baring verses, this album carves its mark as the year's most enthralling listen.

The album is available as a limited edition vinyl release, of which 250 copies come in a deluxe heavy duty tip-on gatefold jacket, including a bonus 7" featuring two exclusive bonus tracks not available anywhere else as well as a poster.

Black vinyl edition limited to only 300 copies!
