Ferguson is recognised as the 'other half' of The Heliocentrics, producing his solo work under the moniker, The Brkn Record. Effortlessly merging the realms of music and activism, he has created a groundbreaking album, which is set to be one of the most important bodies of work that illustrate ongoing systemic racism this side of the millennium. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFerguson takes the listener to a world where artistry and social consciousness intersect. Crafting an array of captivating soundscapes and themes. This album showcases the vocal talents of both established artists and hidden gems discovered through Ferguson's day-job as a former charity CEO and community activist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile Part 1 served as a rallying cry to dismantle oppressive systems, Part 2 offers a compelling soundtrack of a Pro-Black world reclaiming its destiny. This thought-provoking art piece invites listeners to envision alternative paths while avoiding the pitfalls of past paradigms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike a broken record, this The Brkn Record  album keeps pushing boundaries- \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy enlisting the voices of The Global Majority, The Brkn Record creates a platform for genuine expression through sound. Renowned for his production skills, Ferguson has captured the admiration of industry heavyweights including Nas, Madlib and Kanye West. However, rather than seeking popular features, he chooses to amplify the authentic perspectives of the talented youth he collaborates with in Hackney.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne such initiative supported by Ferguson, Account Hackney, introduced him to two gifted artists showcased on this album - Great Okosun and Yolanda Lear. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'This album serves as a visceral demonstration of my anger at the racially founded status quo in this country and globally. The continued oppression of people on the basis of their race is beyond evil, its common place and needs to end. Simple as.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album also sees Ferguson joining forces with award winning laureate Anthony Joseph and legendary hip-hop MC Percee P - their dynamic and thought-provoking lyrics seamlessly intertwine with expertly produced musical landscapes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'The Architecture of Oppression Part 2' is not just an album; it is a transformative journey that challenges the listener and wants you to 'feel'. It's Art. A musical experience that inspires, compels, and empowers.
