When the visuals start, we see a figure, filmed in a blur of low-light slow motion, kicking a metal can through the nighttime streets of New York City. As he moves down the street, the kicking takes on a pattern; from noise to a kind of music. And then the video loops and we go back into the dark. But the noises have changed. No longer such a mystery, they now testify to the presence of a person and a place. No longer noise, they are now signals in the dark, reminding us of what just was, and presaging what will soon be again.\" Published by BlackMass and edited by Kwamé Sorrell. - Publisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdited by former BlackMass Publishers collaborator Kwamé Sorrell.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Named after Amiri Baraka’s 1966 play \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Black Mass\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, this independent publishing venture was founded by Yusuf Hassan in 2018 with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eProject BlackMass\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, a spiral-bound publication with contributions from artists Arthur Jafa, Devin B.
