The line may show that KRS seems to be in sync with future political tendencies. In 2012, when the present album was dropped, there was hardly any effort to recover US-Cuba diplomatic relations, originally banned in 1962, John F.

Two years later, in 2014, President Obama would announce the re-establishment of diplomatic relations with Cuba, meeting Raúl Castro in what he called “an historic meeting”.

The New York Times publicized a simple yet efficient article to explain what changes in America’s relationship with Cuba.
