I'd like to offer this track as a free download to encourage people to explore The Jewish Museum, and show what can happen when you have cross-cultural exchanges that invigorate all parties involved. It was a pleasure to work with Kehinde Wiley, Kalkidan and The Jewish Museum on their March 8th event in conjunction with the exhibition Kehinde Wiley/The World Stage: Israel. The full EP is named after the museum's evening series, The Wind Up. Hopefully you will be inspired to check out the rest of the material - how many times do we get a chance to hear Afro-Diasporic hip hop in Hebrew?!
