Divine Society

Gee Becton’s freshman EP, The Revolution Will Be Televised, is a timely, heartfelt, and deeply poignant project. With just four well-crafted tracks, the EP doesn’t need to shout to make its message clear, it moves with intention. Each song feels personal yet universal, resonating with listeners whether you’ve been following Gee’s journey from the start or are just pressing play for the first time.

This debut is proof that impact isn’t measured by length, it’s measured by meaning.

The listening experience, held at Katy Vibes, began with the opening track, “My Life,” setting the tone for what was to come. But it featured more than just songs to listen to, we were treated to a visual to match. For those unfamiliar with Gee’s work, he first made a name for himself as a filmmaker with his debut short, Gold. I actually starred in that project as the alleyway murder victim — some of my best work, honestly.

During the audience Q&A portion, one question stood out: what inspired him to create this body of work?
“God basically sat me down and said, this is your work, not the work you’re doing for other people. Just do what I said to do,” Gee responded.

I followed up by asking what his promo plan was, how he intended to get this message out into the world. His answer was simple but powerful: “We the people will serve as ambassadors.” Gee believes the music will move through us, that those who connect with it will carry it forward.

The visual and the audio together take the audience on a journey rooted in both family and the future. There’s a moment where we see the essence of cultural appropriation so vividly portrayed that it’s impossible to look away. It’s uncomfortable because it’s true, and all you can do is keep watching.

At this moment in America, we need art that reminds us to be who God made us to be, and to proudly remember where and who we come from. Gee makes a lasting impression on every listener, especially with the track “Urban Legend,” a heartfelt tribute to his mother, father, and grandmother who came before him.

The song stands out not just for its lyrical depth, but for its sonic storytelling. The production carries a soulful undercurrent — warm, textured, and nostalgic, while Gee’s delivery feels both intimate and resolute. It’s the kind of track that makes you pause, not because it’s loud, but because it’s honest.

You can hear the weight of legacy in his voice, the pride of ancestry intertwined with the pressure of living up to it. Every verse feels like a conversation with the people who came before him and a message to those who will follow. It’s reflective without being mournful, rooted in gratitude, not grief.

By the time the song ends, you’re left thinking about your own story, your own family, and the people who shaped you. That’s what makes The Revolution Will Be Televised such an important debut — it’s more than an EP; it’s a mirror.

In just four tracks, Gee Becton manages to do what some artists take years to accomplish, he creates a body of work that speaks to identity, legacy, and purpose. The Revolution Will Be Televised isn’t just something to listen to; it’s something to feel. It’s a reminder that music, when done with intention, has the power to wake us up, stir our spirit, and remind us who we are. Gee’s debut may be short, but its message lingers long after the final note fades, and that’s the mark of an artist whose revolution has only just begun.
