Philando Castile , Sandra Bland , Tamir Rice and Eric Garner . Their names have reached the notoriety of some pop stars, but sadly for all the wrong reasons.

"Famous" is an exciting first recorded collaboration between JSWISS and producer/musician Marcus Machado (also under the producer pseudonym M.Drix ) and it also features the talented spoken word artist Dasan Ahanu .
