Multi-platinum Grammy Award-winning recording artists, the Black Eyed Peas have returned with new social and political force with a song titled “Street Livin.’” The song is available for streaming and digital download via all participating digital retailers.
“Street Livin’” highlights four intersectional issues largely impacting communities of color - Police Brutality, Prison Reform, Gun Reform, and Immigration. The song was inspired by their ambitious groundbreaking graphic novel distributed by Marvel Comics, 'Masters of the Sun: The Zombie Chronicles' and the issues that were present in the novel (80’s) are still major issues that we are battling today.

The will.i.am-created graphic novel is a futuristic B-Boy meets L.A gang culture meets Egyptology themed Zombie thriller that was released to much acclaim earlier this year, now brought to life with the ground-breaking augmented reality app featuring the voices of some of Hollywood and hip-hop's most crucial artists including Rakim, Jamie Foxx,Queen Latifah.
