Sorepo (soul repossession) Records is proud to announce the release of “The Code Mane,” the debut single from Selma-based band The Illumin8tives. This track marks the first offering from one of the label’s most promising acts, showcasing a sound that embodies the complex history and spirit of their hometown.

Hailing from Selma, Alabama – a pivotal location in the voting rights and civil rights movements of the 1960s – The Illumin8tives draw inspiration from their city’s rich, often conflicting legacies. Their music explores themes of struggle and triumph, regression and progress, chaos and order, darkness and light.

“The Code Mane” serves as an ideal introduction to the band’s multifaceted identity and ambitious artistic vision. With its immersive, slow-crawling instrumentation and vivid, cinematic lyrics, the single creates an atmosphere akin to a psychological thriller. The lead vocalist’s raw, authentic delivery grounds the narrative in reality, presenting a harrowing tale that delves into an often misunderstood archetype in American society.

Sorepo Records believes The Illumin8tives are poised to become more than just a band – they represent a movement with the potential to transform art and, by extension, influence the world.

“The Code Mane” is available now on all major streaming platforms.
