AWATE releases new music video ‘Displaced’

Awate delivers a brilliant visual for ‘Displaced’ from his Shine Ancient EP out now. Look out for cameos from Novar FLIP, DJ Turkish and a special surprise at the end. Awate had this to say about the project: “‘Displaced’ is my ode to my estate, Maiden Lane before they tear it all down. I’m a refugee and wanted to show how it felt growing up in the estate, being chased and told I was an alien. The suit was inspired by Afronauts and Power Rangers and the intro was a reference to Mr. Bean. The backstory is that the version of Eritrea that my parents struggled for, that never was, actually existed on another planet. That’s where my papers come from.”
