Backed by a classic Curtis Mayfield sample, Memphis recording artist turned social activist Marco Pavé unloads the latest leak from his forthcoming Perception EP. “Black Tux”, produced by frequent collaborator Kenny Wayne, is a soulful banger that captures Marco’s both personal and political frustrations.
With a declarative hook that states, “please understand the basics/this black tux costs cheaper at Macy’s/put us in the basement deeper than Anne Frank/seek to keep us down but this crown no erasing.”, it’s very clear that Pavé isn’t limiting his teachings to the classroom.
