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.

Climate Hero – Baba Brinkman Music Video
The health co-benefits of reduced greenhouse gas pollution are win-win for individual and societal health, especially through the reduction of chronic diseases. Once you factor in these co-benefits, tackling climate change literally pays for itself.
This is great for humans and great for the planet, but not great for the "sacrifice and pain" climate hero complex. Think about it: if your actions benefit you as much or more than they benefit others, are you REALLY a hero?

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!
