EarthGang: Atlanta is black people just being unafraid and unapologetically creative

"I feel like an elephant mama. An elephant gestation period is around 18 months—I feel like I’ve been carrying this baby for a long time" - rapper Olu from Atlanta duo EarthGang tells Pitchfork in an interview about their first major label album 'Mirrorland', out later this year. They have released several independent records and mixtapes across the last decade. They're socially aware, as well, speaking out against abortion ban: "Women aren’t telling me I need to get a vasectomy, and I’m not going to tell them what to do either".
