16 Albinos in the S.W.A.T.S.

16 Albinos in the S.W.A.T.S.

EARTHGANG

This song was inspired by the notable alum of Benjamin E. Mays High School in Southwest Atlanta, Georgia where both Doctur Dot and Johnny Venus attended high school. Albinos are born when two parents are carriers of the albinism gene, making it a 1 in 1,200 chance that an albino child is born from two parents who carry the gene, making albino births very rare occurrences. This may be a metaphor for the school’s population at the time they graduated (the two of them, so 2,400 students), but is definitely a reference EARTHGANG often makes to making it out of Atlanta, which presumably 14 notable alum of Benjamin E. Mays High School have done before them. This song is a contemplation on what their lives would be like if they become the next ones to make it out of Southwest Atlanta. S.W.A.T.S. stands for South West Atlanta, too strong.
