About the track

“FUX DAT” is raw, unfiltered rage against systemic inequality, political hypocrisy, and the conditions keeping Black Americans oppressed. DJ Nabs and The Cause2k hold nothing back, attacking everything from foreign aid policies that ignore domestic poverty to the violence consuming Black communities. The track channels anger into aggressive bars that refuse politeness or respectability politics, instead opting for the kind of blunt, profane honesty that makes people uncomfortable—which is exactly the point. This is protest music stripped of diplomatic language, confrontational by design, and unapologetic about its fury.

The Message

The message is a comprehensive indictment of American hypocrisy and anti-Black systems that persist despite cosmetic changes. The track questions why the government sends billions to foreign conflicts while Americans eat from trash cans, why the spotlight focuses on Black neighborhoods like surveillance zones, and why violence remains the primary option for young people with no economic alternatives. There’s explicit frustration with the respectability politics trap—the way speaking about these realities gets dismissed as “tripping” or complaining when the conditions themselves are undeniable. The repeated “fuck that” refrain represents complete rejection of excuses, gaslighting, and systems that demand compliance while delivering nothing but suffering. It’s anger as truth-telling, profanity as honesty.

The Sound

The production is aggressive and confrontational, matching the lyrical content’s intensity with hard-hitting beats and minimal melodic elements. The sonic aesthetic feels deliberately stripped-down and raw, refusing the polish that might soften the message’s impact. Bass frequencies hit hard and low, drum patterns are punishing and relentless, and the mix maintains an edge that keeps listeners off-balance. The old-school throwback elements ground the track in hip-hop’s tradition of protest music while the modern production techniques ensure contemporary relevance. This isn’t music designed for comfort or easy listening—it’s meant to challenge, provoke, and demand response. The sound itself becomes part of the protest, refusing to make oppression sound pleasant.

The Facts

According to federal data, the United States has sent over $100 billion in aid to Ukraine since 2022 while domestic poverty remains a crisis, with over 37 million Americans living below the poverty line and 580,000 experiencing homelessness on any given night. Food insecurity affects over 44 million Americans, with racial disparities showing Black families experiencing hunger at more than twice the rate of white families. Meanwhile, the U.S. spends approximately $80 billion annually on incarceration, with Black Americans representing 40% of the incarcerated population despite being just 13% of the general population. These statistics validate the track’s central frustration: a government that finds unlimited resources for foreign interventions and prisons while claiming insufficient funds for addressing domestic suffering.

In Closing

“FUX DAT” won’t win awards for subtlety or diplomacy, and it’s not trying to. This track represents the kind of unvarnished anger that respectability politics demands Black artists suppress, package politely, or translate for white comfort—demands this song explicitly rejects. In a political moment where legitimate grievances get dismissed as divisive or exaggerated, FUX DAT” validates the fury of communities watching their suffering ignored while resources flow everywhere except toward solutions that might actually help. This is hip-hop as release valve, allowing expression of the rage that accumulates when every peaceful protest gets dismissed, every reasonable request gets denied, and every attempt at dialogue gets met with gaslighting. Sometimes “fuck that” is the only honest response left.
