Released in May 2021, Bright Future is Baba’s 12th full-length solo rap album, a collection of ten songs about science and society and the many hopeful paths towards improving the human condition through greater understanding of the natural world, medicine, and technology. Each of the album’s songs and music videos was commissioned by a scientist or an organization with science at its core, for the purpose of communicating an important and complex idea to the general public. This makes Bright Future not only a unique record, but also a blueprint for a new approach to the rap music industry, which Event Rap is now pioneering with other artists.

Can you guess which palindromic sentence in the video I wrote myself?
