"Supreme Mathematics" by Dr. Fahamu Pecou is part of a collection called as "People's Instinctive Travels". This series explores the transgressive and transportive qualities of Black music, which has consistently defied and challenged conventional beliefs. From African drums to the trap miskc, the sheer audacity and innovation of Black music knows no bounds.

Consider the rhythmic patterns and improvisation of iconic drummers like Art Blakey and Max Roach. Picture the sonic expeditions embarked upon by visionaries like Sun Ra and George Clinton. And of course, we cannot overlook the ever-evolving and genre-blending influence of hip-hop music, which has reshaped the musical landscape time and time again.

The vibrations and syncopations that flow through our music possess an inherent power to bend time and space, both literally and figuratively. Music becomes a vehicle that transports its subjects across the fabric of time and space, a kind of sonic time machine.

The title of this work is derived from the ideology of the Nation of Gods and Earths, an offshoot of the Nation of Islam, also known as the Five Percenters, referring to the divine numerical system of values and principles. Beyond its spiritual connotations, mathematics in this context invokes frequency and timing, intricately woven into the fabric of Black music.

The subject poses with his time travel bag, tuned to a frequency that propels him across dimensions. Moreover, he wear a Gnawa kufi on his head, paying homage to the spiritual sect in Morocco renowned for their enchanting rhythmic chants, capable of inducing a trance-like state. The cord extending from his crown gracefully swings around, creating expansive circles as he twirls and spins.
