BABYLONS DEATH MACHINE is D.C. native and experimental hip-hop/electronic artist Discipline99 and cosmic musician, vocalist, and producer Eboneé A.D. With BABYLONS DEATH MACHINE, the duo surgically expose the arteries through which systemic misery circulates into and out of Black bodies and Black lives infecting, in the process, an entire world with a dying empire’s noxious taint. Like a hot samurai sword passing through vanilla ice cream, they are, with their musical power, slicing right through that bulging vein. BABYLONS DEATH MACHINE is what Eboneé calls “a smorgasbord of Blackness” – a cinematic epic where madness, violence, and confusion yield to hope, grace, and planetary renewal.
