Introducing the return of Oliver Pulfer, the politically conscious hip-hop artist known as The Disciple, as he makes a powerful comeback with his latest release, an impactful rap song titled “Bottom of Society.” This thought-provoking track delves into politically charged themes and sheds light on the enduring struggles experienced by marginalized communities worldwide.
Born in 1988 in Bern, Switzerland, Oliver Pulfer discovered his love for rap music and hip-hop culture at a young age. Fueled by his international outlook and deep appreciation for diverse cultures, he began crafting his own English rhymes during his teenage years. With a growing interest in global affairs and international history, he adopted the moniker “The Disciple,” symbolizing his role as a messenger disseminating the messages and teachings derived from his extensive reading.
The Disciple draws inspiration from prominent left-wing intellectuals like Jean Ziegler, Noam Chomsky, and pan-African leaders, infusing his lyrics with a focus on Western exploitation in third-world countries, international politics, and revolutionary concepts.
In recent years, Oliver Pulfer has dedicated himself to producing a collection of music in Switzerland. His lead single, “Metaphysical Disorder,” gained significant attention for its poignant commentary on the genocide of African cultures caused by the overwhelming dominance of Western civilization. The track received widespread airplay on local hip-hop stations and featured on international and local blogs.
Now, The Disciple is set to release his latest single, “Bottom of Society,” which features the captivating Xhosa vocals of Nonkoliseko Somagu. This Afro-centric track delves into the historical struggle faced by black men and women, consistently finding themselves at the bottom rung of society for the past 500 years. Through compelling examples such as Gandhi, Obama, and Barhelomé De Las Casas, The Disciple highlights the persistent marginalization experienced by the black community. Importantly, the song is not intended to be against any specific group, but rather presents historical facts from a humanistic perspective.
As The Disciple continues to champion human rights and social justice through his music, he invites listeners to engage in dialogue surrounding these pressing issues. His previous track and the upcoming release aim to raise awareness of the enduring struggles faced by marginalized communities, fostering greater understanding and empathy in the process.
