It plays at the end of the movie after the drug-dealing lead character Priest takes a stand against the white deputy commissioner, telling him, \"You don't own me, pig!\"\n\n\"It was a glorious moment for our people as blacks,\" Mayfield told Q magazine. \"Priest had a mind, he wanted to get out. For once, in spite of what he was doing, he got away. So there came 'Superfly' the song. He was trying to get over. We couldn't be so proud of him dealing coke or using coke, but at least the man had a mind and he wasn't just some ugly dead something in the streets after it was all over. He got out.\"\n\nAs a member of The Impressions, Mayfield was a huge part of the '60s civil rights movement thanks to songs like \"People Get Ready\" and \"This Is My Country.\" In the Super Fly film, he saw an opportunity to examine city life, and how drug culture affects African Americans. After seeing the screenplay, he jumped into the project and was given complete creative freedom. \n\nMayfield wrote the songs to suit the scenes, but he made sure they could stand on their own, telling the stories even without the visuals. \"Superfly\" works very well outside of the film, as the character Mayfield describes could relate to anyone trying to survive and thrive under difficult circumstances. https://tinyurl.com/559a8jt7", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3568135, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3568135/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-10-21T17:08:19-07:00", "show": 64897, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64897/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://dn721904.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-86c0eceb-c48e-42d0-8d6a-38383fe7bcb0/mbid-86c0eceb-c48e-42d0-8d6a-38383fe7bcb0-42515337293_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://ia600906.us.archive.org/4/items/mbid-86c0eceb-c48e-42d0-8d6a-38383fe7bcb0/mbid-86c0eceb-c48e-42d0-8d6a-38383fe7bcb0-42515337293_thumb250.jpg", "song": "MY TYPE", "track_id": "64af7a3e-be6c-4e86-a3cf-22719b199ecf", "recording_id": "62eb3d9b-0cf8-4413-89dd-fc160ccd4ca7", "artist": "Sudan Archives", "artist_ids": [ "6ce5eca0-4ad6-49e0-a5ab-e11482d85324" ], "album": "THE BPM", "release_id": "86c0eceb-c48e-42d0-8d6a-38383fe7bcb0", "release_group_id": "f9e98ca4-0311-4f33-961f-f41154271ef0", "labels": [ "Stones Throw Records" ], "label_ids": [ "f1b83107-23e5-41a3-ab1b-2a36965cf77b" ], "release_date": "2025-10-17", "rotation_status": "Heavy", "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "The brand new studio album by singer, songwriter, and violinist Brittney Parks, aka Sudan Archives, released last week!\n\nThe album follows her critically acclaimed 2022 release Natural Brown Prom Queen and is said to blend club sounds from Detroit and Chicago with diverse dance styles. It features close collaborators and explores themes of technology, self-exploration and emotion.\n\nThe BPM was inspired by her parents' roots in Michigan and Illinois, with recording sessions partially taking place in both Detroit and Chicago, incorporating club sounds from both cities.\n\nThe album features mainly contributions from her close circle, including her sister, cousin and best friend. It also explores various styles of dance music, such as Jersey club and experimental beatwork. \n\nParks notes that her beats often reflect where her parents come from, but with a more experimental twist on this record. She also expressed her intention to create a definitive dance album with The BPM. https://tinyurl.com/mvxdc6sa", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3568133, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3568133/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-10-21T17:04:28-07:00", "show": 64897, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64897/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://dn721905.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-09223957-2268-4d4e-86cc-bc46b3a6e1a6/mbid-09223957-2268-4d4e-86cc-bc46b3a6e1a6-43258740868_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://dn721905.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-09223957-2268-4d4e-86cc-bc46b3a6e1a6/mbid-09223957-2268-4d4e-86cc-bc46b3a6e1a6-43258740868_thumb250.jpg", "song": "The Right", "track_id": "ee5dfe3b-4ab4-425a-b82f-32627368c308", "recording_id": "99226511-1708-41b7-b7ee-b8a0dc349fd9", "artist": "DJ Seinfeld & Confidence Man", "artist_ids": [ "9fab430a-f1af-4a69-bf68-6857a7a50a68", "595058cd-36fe-4994-8933-df92ff68ebd7" ], "album": "The Right", "release_id": "09223957-2268-4d4e-86cc-bc46b3a6e1a6", "release_group_id": "7bcfb70f-5bbb-4356-b8c3-49a144d4de37", "labels": [ "Ninja Tune" ], "label_ids": [ "dc940013-b8a8-4362-a465-291026c04b42" ], "release_date": "2025-10-10", "rotation_status": "Heavy", "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "DJ Seinfeld and Confidence Man joining forces for this new single.
