With that haunting opening line, PROTECTOR pulls no punches. It’s a powerful, multilingual hip-hop track born out of rage, grief, and truth — confronting police brutality, systemic racism, and the global silence that allows it all to persist.
Released in July 2025, the track brings together four artists from vastly different worlds, united by a shared refusal to stay quiet. Their message? Clear: who protects us from those meant to protect us?
Voices from the Margins, Raised in Unison

At its core, PROTECTOR is an international collaboration rooted in lived experience. The soul of the track comes from Madame Cécé, a French-German singer and producer whose vocals carry both tenderness and urgency. Her voice glides through the darkness of the beat, delivering lines that are less melody than warning.
That beat — hard-hitting, stripped, and ominous — is the work of Samuray Amaurys, a Dominican-
Spanish producer who infuses Caribbean grit with European coldness. His production doesn’t decorate the message — it drags it through the streets.
Then there’s Bunz., a queer rapper from Germany whose bars slice through the silence with unapologetic force. Her verses expose the passive complicity of dominant society — not just in Germany, but anywhere power disguises itself as protection.
And from Palestine, AlChaoss delivers raw, fire-laced verses in Arabic that refuse to be ignored. His presence on the track turns it global — not just in sound, but in struggle. His voice echoes from occupied territories to the cracked pavements of Europe’s inner cities, reminding listeners that the violence isn’t isolated. It’s systemic.
Spoken in English, German, and Arabic, PROTECTOR doesn’t just cross borders — it erases them, forging a sonic front line in the global fight against racist and sexist police violence.
The Visual: Grit in Black & White

The music video, directed by Kevin Peters, is shot entirely in black and white — a deliberate choice that strips away distraction and centers the message. Peters, a California-born filmmaker now working between Berlin and the UK, brings a documentary edge to the visuals. Faces stare back at you. Protest becomes poetry. The camera doesn’t flinch — and neither does the song.
From house raids to student protests and haunting close-ups, the video turns the track’s urgency into a visual manifesto. Every frame is a reminder that this isn’t fiction. This is reality — for too many, for too long.
No Sugarcoating. No Apologies.
In the tradition of protest anthems from Public Enemy to Lowkey, PROTECTOR stands in resistance — not with slogans, but with stories. With anger. With truth. It doesn’t ask for your sympathy. It doesn’t soften its blows for your comfort.
And it gives back. All digital streaming revenues from the track are being donated to KOP (Kampagne für Opfer rassistischer Polizeigewalt) — a grassroots organization in Germany that supports victims of racist police violence. Every stream supports real people, on the ground, fighting the same system the song calls out.
“This track is about truth. About naming what is too often being silenced,” says Madame Cécé.
That’s the heart of it. PROTECTOR isn’t a call to action — it is the action. An act of refusal. Of documentation. Of resistance.
It’s a song dedicated to every victim of racist and sexist police violence — past and present.
And it’s a reminder: silence is not neutral.
Stream PROTECTOR now on all major platforms (YouTube,Spotify,Apple Music, and more). All proceeds go to KOP – The campaign for victims of racist police violence.
