In this song, kicked off with a statement from a sellout negro sounding interestingly similar to Barack Obama, Binga exposes the truth of America's relationship to the rest of the world. The chorus states "When America dreams it's an African Nightmare/ stolen goods like gold, diamonds, coltan right here/ slavery and misery's my family's plight here/ when America dreams its an African nightmare." Enough said. With a guitar playing in the background and a heavy bassline anchoring the track, you can't help but experience the African nightmare as Binga calls for Africans to organize and end it.

African drums set the landscape on this track and the subtle harmonies being sung in the background sneak up on you as you realize all of a sudden that resistance is rising everywhere. that's the mental imagery created by the track as Binga and TriggaN.A.M toss lyrical molotov cocktails over the Binga-produced track.

The song demands an answer to the question "Where You At?" as African people are getting organized to fight for freedom. Binga begins telling the story of how he got into the struggle and what it will take to complete it. Diop follows up with his verse "You can find me/ in Southeast DC/ Five minutes away from where George Bush and them stay/ where they equip young Africans with AKs/ and C-R-A-C-K/ to commit violence horizontally/ but ironically, we bust back through philosophy." The C-Los laced track paints a serious picture with its insistent strings, horn blasts and piano that makes you eagerly anticipate what's about to happen and want to ask yourself, where are you at?

Groove meets pointed lyricism as activist-emcee Binga rides over mostly self-produced tracks on Resistance in the Distance [Guerillas in the Midst].

Beginning with the bass-heavy "An African Nightmare [The American Dream]," Binga immediately dives into defining the dire situation for Africans in the era of Obama.

After drawing the contrast between black reality and that of an America built on the backs of black people, Binga hits us with the title track, driven by rhythmic traditional African drums. He's joined on this track by Africa's Trigga who helps to paint a picture of resistance.

After a brief but funky midtro (instead of "intro"), the EP continues with the announcement that "Black is Back!" over guitars and funky drums.

Joined by Torean on "This is Real Hard," Binga redefines hard, calling out those who beef inside African communities but run from police.

The EP is closed out with Africa's Trigga again joining Binga to call the entire African community to action with the question "Where You At?" Where I'm at is on Burning Spear Marketplace, copping this CD now!
