Buying Our Freedom is a project about seeking truth. It’s a reflection of our awareness within the paradigm we collectively inhabit as human. The project depicts the narrative of alternative African artist and highlights the importance of collaboration. Beyond music, it is also a visual project showcasing the motherland in a way never seen before.
The EP was manifested between ELi A Free and Alex Wondergem. It touches the subjects of Ghana, self-love, cannabis, not giving a fuck and what it means to be a ‘hueman’.
“Without Will Niava’s visual representation and love, the project wouldn’t have been so vibrant. This is the beginning of something beyond our control” – Eli A Free.
