Review: This Our Land – A Fierce Testament to Black Resilience and Legacy
KSAM and DMoss deliver an unapologetic anthem in This Our Land, a track that blends lyrical mastery with a thunderous, mid-tempo groove. More than a song, it is a declaration, one steeped in history, defiance, and the unshakable presence of Black resilience.
KSAM’s verse sets the foundation, weaving a tapestry of contributions too often erased. He speaks of “blessed hands, brick layers, blessed minds”, reminding listeners that Black ingenuity built civilizations long before the oppressor arrived. From the architects of the pyramids to the engineers behind traffic lights, he calls out a history of stolen brilliance with lines like, “We drew the plans out, figured out how to, you stole them, patented it, then you want to leave us out. Please, you so crooked you’ll make your people fall to their knees.” His delivery is sharp and urgent, a confrontation of historical theft wrapped in poetic precision.
KSAM himself has been clear about the song’s message. “I don’t like bullies trying to take over or take credit for something they didn’t do and then wanna say the GOD almighty did this for us. STOP LYING ON OUR GOD. Y’all were created from the backside of the sun.” His words reflect the spirit of the track, an unfiltered rebuke of historical revisionism and a call for truth.
DMoss follows with a verse that is both sermon and battle cry. “We are gods, we are Black.” He reminds us that this land, this country, was built with Black hands, “minds sharp enough to carve futures from stone and soil.” He calls out the hypocrisy of a nation that reaped the benefits while erasing the labor, delivering a gut punch with “The roots do remember. Call us what you want—slave, free, threat, king, queen. We ain’t leavin’.”
The production is layered yet direct, allowing the raw power of the words to take center stage. Heavy percussion and brooding basslines drive the message forward, giving the song an anthemic quality fit for rallies, protests, and spaces where truth must be spoken aloud.
This Our Land is more than a track. It is a reckoning, a bold assertion of presence, a reminder of the blood that soaked the soil, and a refusal to be erased. KSAM and DMoss do not ask for recognition. They claim it. And in doing so, they offer a song that will resonate long after the last note fades.
