On September 23, 2014, Prohaize is set to release his highly anticipated mixtape, “African Born, American Raised” (otherwise known as ABAR). Amongst these medley of songs comes one of the project’s most unapologetically controversial singles, “Wade in the Water”. Sharing a name with the most influential and timeless Negro Spiritual in African American history, this song paints vivid truths of contemporary enslavement through social, economic and self-inflicted suppression of the black race. The soulful harmonies of singer Levii Turner in conjunction with the brilliant production by BryceJBThomas takes listeners on a journey of intimate self-reflection and inspirational change. The song exemplifies a revolution and is sure to be the pulsating anthem for all those who are ready to wade in the water and become more than what society has predestined them to be.
