Bitter Boy, as heard on MidnightRoba's 'Golden Seams' LP, is a song in two parts; a Mother's Plea and a Mother's Lament. Part I is a cry of the loss of innocence and the truths faced by parents of black children - the conversations that need to be had to protect them and the helplessness of not knowing if it will be enough.
In their 'My Unique Boy' Remix, Carlos Niño & Nate Mercereau transform the wails of lament of Part II into the energy of meditative prayer, summoning a healing strength.
