David Pilgrim teams with fellow Barbadian songwriter David "Batto" Batson for special Juneteenth 2023 release "TIME AND OPPORTUNITY"

What if news of news of Freedom Day/ Juneteenth never came? David P. and longtime musical friend from Barbados, David “Batto” Batson, now based in Youngstown Ohio decided to answer the question. Back in late 2022, the two songwriter/producers got to trading files over Facebook messenger and before long TIME AND OPPORTUNITY was born. “The track seemed to speak of a rebellious sprit and the lyrics wrote themselves once I heard Batto’s instrumental, which we called the FIRESTARTER RIDDIM. I added some guitar along with the vocals and we were good to go. Between us we agreed Juneteenth seemed like a great day to release it, given the topic. We hope folks enjoy it and are thoughtful about the cost it took for Black folks to have our freedom today.” TIME AND OPPORTUNITY is a free release on YouTube and Soundcloud.
