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.

Targeted Pressure – Baba Brinkman Music Video
The nascent CDR (carbon dioxide removal) industry is innovating dozens of creative ways to capture carbon, some using biology and botany and ecology, some oceanology, some chemistry and physics and engineering and computer science.
It's an exciting race to the top with the ultimate target of scaling up until carbon removal is so cheap and plentiful that it can lower the parts per million of carbon in the earth's atmosphere and reverse global warming.
Let's put them all up on the same stage, Lollapalooza!

Wizard of Odds – Baba Brinkman Lyric Video
The science of "predictive processing" reveals how our brains engaged in a constant cycle of prediction and error-correction, comparing the "expectations" generated by internal top-down mental models with the streams of bottom-up raw data coming in from the senses, the body, and surrounding environment.
In other words, perception is a form of controlled hallucination, and hallucination is a form of uncontrolled (or less-controlled) perception.
How else could a blind lump of meat in a silent boney cage make sense of the world?

Fish Free Feed – Baba Brinkman Music Video
Let a fish thrive without any fish in its diet, take innovation and scale it.
The movement to transform aquaculture from a primarily fishmeal-fed industry to one that is supported sustainably by nutritious fish-free feed is gaining momentum. Supported by a major cash award called the F3 Challenge, using fish free feed is cheaper, produces better outcomes in yield, and leaves billions of forage fish in the ocean to feed the ecosystem, including our essential wild fish catch. What's not to love?
