    "comment": "Q-Tip: \"We named the first song on 'Midnight Marauders' ‘Steve Biko’ because we wanted people to ask who he was? Who was Steven Biko and what did he do? Then they would look him up and find out that he was an amazing freedom fighter in South Africa. He basically gave everything for the liberation of his people. We wanted the fans to find out about his story. There’s no better way to bring attention to something than through music.\"\n--\nSteve Biko was a South African anti apartheid activist. He founded the Black Peoples Convention preaching about black pride. He was beaten to death by apartheid police while in prison in 1977. He died at 31 years old.: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Steve-Biko",
