Michael Kiwanuka zat in de studio samen met zijn producer en schreef een nummer over zijn afkomst, over hoe hij naar eigen zeggen "het leven voelt." Autobiografisch dus. Toch heeft hij nog wat twijfels over de tekst. Hoewel zijn producer geen enkele twijfel had was Michael bang dat het lied zou worden gezien als discriminerend.  Hij probeerde snel nog wat dingen uit, om de tekst wat te verzachten: I’m a black man and I feel downI’m a black man in the wrong world Toch bleef het bij de originele tekst. Waarom, vertelt Jaap je in deze nieuwe HitStory! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rising British superstar Mihael Kiwanuka joins host Steve Baltin to talk about why he feels we are in a new heyday of music and his favorite protest songs of all era, from Marvin Gaye to Solange. And how making music right now inspires him. Talking about Solange's "Don't Touch My Hair," he says, "Someone put into words this really weird niche thing about how my hair is like people find it this weird, strange thing and someone is protesting, 'Don't mess with it.' It really resonated with me. So I've got to put that as my personal protest song."
