Stream ‘Space Invaders’:
‘Space Invaders’ is a relentless, old-school hip-hop banger laced with cyberpunk-rock grit, evoking a scorched, dystopian soundscape. Heavy, pounding beats collide with QO52’s razor-sharp bars, delivering a fierce rebuke to those who falsely claim Indigenous identity for personal gain. The track’s raw energy and unapologetic lyricism channel the spirit of Public Enemy and Mobb Deep, fused with the apocalyptic intensity of a Mad Max fever dream. It’s a sonic gut-punch, blending classic hip-hop flow with alternative rock’s searing edge, making a bold stand against cultural exploitation.
QO52 stated: “This song is about the people who falsely claim that they are Indigenous in order to benefit from programs, spaces and platforms that are intended for actual Indigenous People.” His words underscore the track’s urgency, cementing his role as a vital voice in music and advocacy, using his platform to confront injustice with unflinching clarity.
