"Billionaires & Presidents" by The Sextion (a sub-division of PlasticSole) - A Rapid-Fire Commentary on Power

"Billionaires & Presidents" is a cynical and critical commentary on the close, often corrupt, relationship between powerful political figures (Presidents) and wealthy individuals (Billionaires and Oligarchs). The track implies a system where these elites mutually benefit at the expense of ordinary people.

What makes this track even more remarkable is its spontaneous creation. It was written, recorded, mixed, and mastered in an astonishing four hours. The spark ignited at 11:00 AM during a rehearsal setup for an upcoming evening gig at the Amersham Arms in London on September 6th. Our bass player and drummer started jamming the verse and chorus, and in a simultaneous moment of inspiration, both declared, "Let's ditch the rehearsal, let's record and release that today instead!" By 3:00 PM, the track was complete, a raw and immediate expression of political frustration.
