“Other” Mixed Story told through Song

  • Published November 10, 2013

“Other,” a song by Guante & Big Cats, featuring Chastity Brown, See More Perspective & Chantz Erolin

The song “Other,” from Guante & Big Cats’ 2012 album “You Better Weaponize,” explores mixed-race and mixed-culture identities in a way that is intimate and personal while also keeping an eye on the bigger picture. Featuring Chastity Brown, See More Perspective and Chantz Erolin, the track weaves together different experiences, styles and approaches to coming to terms with what “mixed” really means.
