Portland native Libretto drops some knowledge in his new video, "Jesus Had'a Afro" from his latest project, Gangsta Jazz 2 The Album. Libretto breaks down the idea of the track below.
"It is evident and undeniable that Jesus was a person of color and had a
afro. The song and video of "Jesus Had'a Afro" is strictly based on facts. I
am only speaking from the scripture itself. My goal is to educate, elevate
and motivate through music that is honest, clever and fruitful.
The image of a white Jesus, and the association of whiteness with godliness
is not only historically inaccurate, but psychologically damaging. In no way
is this song or video meant to be disrespectful to any race, culture or
religious beliefs. Rather, this art is my attempt to rectify a dangerous mistruth."
