Smiley Culture - Police Officer Shan A Shan

Review by Beth Goldstein

Smiley Culture's album Police Officer Shan A Shan is a captivating and thought-provoking work of art. The album explores the experiences of a young black man living in a society that is rife with racial tensions and police brutality. Through his lyrics, Smiley Culture sheds light on the struggles that many people of color face on a daily basis.

The album's title track, "Police Officer Shan A Shan," is a powerful commentary on police brutality and the injustices that black people face at the hands of law enforcement. Smiley Culture's lyrics are raw and unapologetic, and his delivery is both passionate and sincere. The song is a call to action, urging listeners to stand up against injustice and fight for their rights.

Other standout tracks on the album include "Cockney Translation," which features Smiley Culture's signature blend of reggae and hip-hop, and "Tuberculosis," a poignant song about the devastating effects of the disease on vulnerable communities.
