Channel Tres “Black Moses” EP released August 16 worldwide via Godmode, the LA label and production team behind breakout acts like Yaeji and Shamir. The title track “Black Moses” premiered on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 radio show, and received the coveted ‘World Record’ title from the globally renowned host. For Channel, “Black Moses” is also about a complicated sense of responsibility he’s begun to feel for his family and community. The track comes reinforced with a gritty verse from rapper and former tour mate JPEGMAFIA, and psilocybe production from Godmode’s Nick Sylvester.
