about

Dub Gabriel hits us with his most thought-provoking and subversive tracks to date, highlighting the dilemma facing our global society as people take to the streets striking out against hunger, poverty, war, government corruption and the rise of corporate cultural hegemony. Joined by pioneering UK dubstep MC, The Spaceape (Kode9/Burial) on the incendiary title track “Is This Revolution”, and Chicago’s Mighty Dub Killerz on the flip for the soulful call to action of “These Times” - together they deliver a lyrical mind-bomb that invokes the spirits of Linton Kwesi Johnson, The Clash and Gil Scott-Heron for a new generation.

Track Name: Dub Gabriel - Is This Revolution feat. The Spaceape
Is there a distance?
Between here and now
A space
A moment
Time lost in a movement
With more obsessions
More useless possessions
Clouding judgment
Obscuring light
Wasting away
Instead of fighting the good fight
A jolt to the system
Run into the streets
Electrified by knowledge
Radicalised by wisdom
The distance between
Here and now
Is no longer
Now and then

Is this revolution?
A dream or illusion
Human evolution
In a state of confusion





Is this revolution?
A real-time illusion
Troubled evolution
Man a wait the solution

From the east
To west
From the black
To the gold
From a system
To religion
City rises
From a crisis
And the ash
To the cash
To money
And the millions
To minions
Show resilience
I’m a rebel
Like the devil
We’re the future
We’re the science+
Populations
Simulation
Irration
Tell a nation
Bout the facts
To tax
Im’ll scratch
My name
To a wall
Till the brickwork
A’ fall
You’ll crawl
pon your knees
You a beg
People please

From the drugs
To the fluids
inhalation
Suffocation
Fire station
Uprisings
kill sedation
Elevation
From a dead zone
To a war zone
No fly zone
To the chromosomes
Gonna fly home
tap the telephone
of the cellular
ammunition
coming regular
from the secular
to the replicas
from the fist
to the flag
stop your mind
running mad
cosmic master
tell the world
bout the future
that you’re after
from the east
to the west
black and gold
strapped in bold
cross your chest
