Lost Signal | Baraka Visual Remix (Music Video)
Lost Signal is the first single from our album Black Kid Miracles.
Concept of song was to explore what defines our humanity, the chorus reflects on our relationship with technology and how that is reshaping how we connect with the planet, spirituality and each other. The first verse looks at how the wars for conflict minerals affects young child soldiers and how the economic motivations behind these conflicts are rarely reported by mainstream media. The second verse asks the question what defines justice? How much has changed for us as a people since the abolition of slavery. The bridge reflects through the eyes of women the struggles faced to survive, the scars left that never fully heal, whole at the same time celebrating their inner beauty, strength and resilience to keep loving. With the metaphor of the woman also representing Earth and humanities relationship with the planet.

In this thought-provoking visual remix, we dive into a critical discussion surrounding the potential dangers of artificial intelligence. The message is clear: the threat posed by AI is argued to be even more significant than that of nuclear warheads.
The script opens with a stark reminder that we must stay focused on this crucial issue. The urgent call to action is reinforced, emphasizing the need to prioritize and address the potential risks and implications of AI technologies.
Throughout the video, viewers are guided through a powerful exploration of AI-related concerns, such as cyberattacks, privacy, and surveillance. The script touches on the idea that AI, like a puppeteer, can manipulate and control our lives through algorithms. The notion of AI "replacing spirit and soul" is presented, highlighting the profound impact of AI on our society.
The script also references various popular culture elements, such as X-Men's Charles Xavier and The Matrix, to illustrate the potential consequences of unchecked AI development. It underscores the need for vigilance and awareness in a world where AI monitors and influences our lives.
The video concludes with a reflection on the symbiotic relationship between AI and humanity, raising important questions about the existential crisis we face today. It encourages viewers to think critically about the role of AI in our lives and its implications for the future.

Progress and evolution are forged in the sacrifices of generations past.
The blood spilt, the sweat toiled, the resilience forged through years spent incarcerated, this song celebrates our Lost Kings, Ghetto visionaries, Spiritual griots, Rebel warriors, who sacrificed their freedom and lives for future generations to have opportunities.
The song is split in two parts the first verse looks at the potential unfulfilled by our young black kings trapped in a system before they are provided with the proper guidance and information to expand their level of consciousness. The second verse explores what that potential if channeled can achieve.

Visionary (Lyric Video)
Our new album Black Kid Miracles II available on Apple Music & Spotify
https://www.knightsof88.com/black-kid-miracles-ii/
LYRICS
Autobiographic
Black enterprise established
A million affirmations
Break my visions out these cages
Chief of my tribe lead my people to the water
Terror on the border so we heal them with the chorus
Architect of dreams
Build a nation here of Kings
Diabolic schemes
How they plotting on our kids
Forbidden laws of sin
Watch the Spirit wars begin
The enemy within you ever heard the devil sing?
Feeling monumental
Freedom on the menu
Got to feed my people
Bigger visions of the future
Sitting in the desert in a castle out in Senegal
Seeing all the hidden hands
Over stand the master plan
Malcolm at the podium
Assassins in the audience
Martin on the Balcony
Murdered in conspiracy
Nipsey in the car park
A Kingdom killed by Jealousy
Throw us in the dark
Want to take out all our visionaries
