Today, Moor Mother — aka Camae Ayewa — has released a new song “All the Money.” The song is lifted from her upcoming album, The Great Bailout, which will be released on March 8th via ANTI- Records.

”All the Money” shifts the album’s tone into a more sinister register of voice and instrument. Examining the money made from the enslavement of Africans in Great Britian, the song was co-produced by Vijay Ayer and features Alya Al Sultani; both artists sent Ayewa samples and she threaded them throughout the track.

Additionally, Moor Mother has shared the accompanying music video for “All the Money” today. The video was directed by filmmaker and multimedia artist Cauleen Smith. Inspired by Afrofuturism, black feminisim and African American identity in general, she is currently a professor at UCLA. The video she created for the track features chilling, crime scene-esque images of British royalty, landmarks and politicians.

The Great Bailout is Ayewa’s ninth studio album under the Moor Mother moniker and third with ANTI- Records, with production contributions on various tracks from Mary Lattimore, Lonnie Holley, Vijay Ayer, Angel Bat Dawid, Sistazz of the Nitty Gritty, Aaron Dilloway and more. Ayewa’s music contains multitudes of instruments, voices and cacophony that take on themes of Afrofuturism and collective memory with the forebearers of jazz, hip hop and beat poetry in mind.
