​

Two small but huge truths: 6th Borough Project is addictive, and Martin Luther King Jr. is eternal.  

​

A third big truth?
Craig Smith and Graeme Clark (also aka The Revenge) are two seriously weird dudes.  

​

Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, but with their feet, hearts, and souls in the U.S. — more specifically, in New York, or even more precisely, in the Sixth Borough, that famous non-existent borough no one wants to claim.

​

Sometimes it’s Yonkers, sometimes New Jersey so, besides being weird and addictive, the duo is also kind of snarky.  

​

Nights Over Memphis is as beautiful as it is a masterclass in how far creativity can go with the right loop (Nights Over Egypt by Detroit’s own The Jones Girls), a sampled voice (I've Been to the Mountaintop, MLK’s final speech), and a message that hits deep.  

​

Not much needs to be said about Martin Luther King Jr., and his last speech wasn’t just brave — it was a heartbreaking farewell from someone who, without a doubt, already knew he didn’t have much time left.  

​

Then I stumbled upon a ten-minute first-person video of someone walking through Beale Street in Memphis at night, right by the legendary Mississippi River, just a few blocks from where MLK gave his final words in public, and ten minutes away from where he was assassinated the next day.  

​

And of course, I also found a short video with his almost unintentional last words, plus another short clip that sums up my idea of a promised land: sitting on the ground, staring at a starry sky till sunrise, every single day.  

​

I put it all together and simply called it Nights Over Memphis.

Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead.

But it really doesn't matter with me now, because I've been to the mountaintop.

And I don't mind.

Like anybody, I would like to live – a long life; longevity has its place.

But I'm not concerned about that now.

I just want to do God's will.

And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain.

And I've looked over.

​

And I've seen the Promised Land.

I may not get there with you.

But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land.

​

So I'm happy, tonight.
I'm not worried about anything.
I'm not fearing any man.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!
