Daily Discovery: The Wise Bloods – See I Cry

London-based outfit The Wise Bloods are known for their blend of roots reggae with urban influences like hip-hop, dub, and soul. Their music combines traditional reggae rhythms with a progressive sound, using their platform to address pressing social and political issues. Formed within the multicultural fabric of the British capital, the band brings a fresh, urban perspective to reggae, focusing on themes of injustice, colonialism, and human suffering.

Their new single, titled “See I Cry,” released on the 18th of October, tackles the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, highlighting the suffering of Palestinians and the perceived moral contradictions of Western involvement. The song critiques the support for oppressive regimes while drawing attention to the violence inflicted on civilians, particularly children. Its lyrics challenge the indifference and silence of those in positions of power, calling for accountability and justice.

Through evocative imagery and references to historical cycles of oppression, the track highlights the devastating human impact of conflict and colonialism. It contrasts the suffering of the oppressed with the actions of those who benefit from these systems.
