Channel Tres Announces Black Moses EP, Shares New “Sexy Black Timberlake” Video: Watch

“‘Sexy Black Timberlake’ is me being objectified as a sex object for my skin color”

Compton-born artist Channel Tres has announced a new EP called Black Moses. It’s out August 2 via Godmode. He’s also shared the EP’s first single “Sexy Black Timberlake.” Watch a video for the song, directed by Ian Goodwin, below.

“As a black male I’ve experienced being vilified or objectified depending on what I was wearing or what I was doing,” Channel Tres told The FADER. “‘Sexy Black Timberlake‘ is me being objectified as a sex object for my skin color. The production was inspired by The Chronic mixed with the west coast dance music I’ve been creating.”

Black Moses follows Channel Tres’ 2018 self-titled EP. He is on tour through the summer. Find his schedule at The FADER. Get tickets here. (Pitchfork may earn a commission from purchases made through affiliate links on our site.)
