Description: On July 30th we will release Culxr House:Freedom Summer, a collaborative project showcasing a host of talent from Omaha, Nebraska, all of whom are tied to Culxr House: an innovative community hub based in the city that focuses on providing artists and creatives a safe space to grow their talent and obtain access to resources necessary to turn their art into economic opportunities. Culxr House exists to bridge both social and economic gaps through the cultivation of talent and artistry within the inner city.

Culxr House also served as a nerve center for the protests carried out in Omaha beginning in the summer of 2020, aka, Freedom Summer. The Culxr House family helped to pull people together, inspiring the community to talk about what needed to happen in order to evoke both global and local change. The collective family that are showcased on the new album and the songs they created grew from both those meetings and the venue’s open mic nights. The finished album is proof of the magic that can grow from collaboration and from instigating the bonds of community when it’s most needed.

Across its 11 tracks, a host of artists explore the socio-political climate of Omaha through the lens of hip hop. The entire project was spearheaded and produced by Marcey Yates, the founder of Culxr House and a distinct artist in his own right. He appears on almost every song here, alongside rapper Xoboi, with the only exceptions being the tracks ”Believer,” “Walky Tawky,” and Stay Sleep” where they put full creative control into the hands of fellow producers Dex Arbor and Rial Kell.

“My initial idea when Saddle Creek reached out to do the project,” says Yates, “was this seems like the opportunity I have been waiting on. Freedom Summer was inspired by the autumn of 1919, known as the “Red Summer” where white supremacist terrorism and race riots took place across the U.S. I wanted to share this experience with Artists I know personally and know their level of dedication. Omaha, Nebraska has incredible hip hop artists and always has, but I also wanted to showcase what I felt was an overlooked group of artists, including myself. As artists we have an incredible platform and reach. Using art for activism is one of the ways us as artists can express how we feel and create awareness for our people and community. Coming out of the pandemic and a very emotional year I hope this record can tell our story.”
