Cee Knowledge And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra Release Video For Space Man

[youtube id=”Od0sIvd-034″] Cee Knowledge And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra release the video for their new single “Space Man.” The autobiographical song has an animated clip featuring Knowledge and the orchestra floating around and eventually leaving earth. At one point, they are chased by Donald Trump and that seems to be the motivation for their departure. Knowledge is usually known as Doodlebug from Digable Planets and he’s been performing with the orchestra since 2000. “Space Man” is an obvious reaction to the lack of unity among people without being reactionary. You can buy it from the usual spots.
