A record that travelled the world, and an artist who had no idea just how far his music had reached. Cold Fact found its way into my childhood home in Australia and, decades later, I found myself standing in the crowd at a Sixto Rodriguez gig in Sydney.

As Mama’s Gun reaches its 25th anniversary, we return to an album that feels less like a recording and more like an invocation - a mixology of soul, jazz, reggae, hip-hop, and spiritual truth.
