Ten-year-old rapper Angan DaHooman released his second single “Trumpet” on Wednesday.
Available on digital music streaming platforms, the single features the young rapper speaking about racism and injustice, mentioning George Floyd and protests in the lyrics.
“Racism upsets me,” said Angan in a statement. “‘Trumpet’ crossed my mind when I saw injustice.”
In one of his Instagram posts, Angan explained the inspiration behind the song. “I made this because it was a school project, […] this song is about how I think of myself as an artist and about racism. I’ve very mad and sad that people die just because of their skin color,” he wrote.
While his debut single was a collaboration with Imperial Ra, an Indonesian music producer based in California, Angan wrote, arranged and recorded “Trumpet” all by himself.
Angan’s first single, “Stay Up All Day”, was released in December 2019 and features 1980s hip hop with a twist of jazz. (wir/wng)
