Many in the independent scene first got wind of her after she collaborated with the Platinum Pied Pipers on their much celebrated debut "Triple P". After that she signed with underground heavyweights Stones Throw Records to re-issue her "Worthnothings" EP and release her full length debut, "Olesi: Fragments Of An Earth”.
Since then she has had many different collaborative efforts both independent and mainstream that have flown under the radar like her duets with Erykah Badu, "Fly Away" on Sa-Ra' "Hollywood Recordings" album and "Master Teacher" on Erykah' last album, "New Amerykah Part One: 4th World War". More recently she produced and sang lead vocals for the song, “Roses” from Mos Def’ current album, “The Ecstatic”.
Georgia is also known well for an abstract production and writing style that breaks from normal song structure as can be seen on most of her previous releases.
Wheels
Georgia Anne Muldrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the sky, yeah
The ride's too far
We'll never die, no
These lyrics from Georgia Anne Muldrow's song Wheels are expressing a sense of immortality that comes from being a star in the sky. The idea is that even though the journey might be long and difficult, they will never die as they are eternal beings, always shining brightly in the sky. This can be interpreted as a message of hope and encouragement, reminding us that no matter what hardships we may face, we all have a spark of divinity within us that will never be extinguished.
The refrain "the ride's too far, we'll never die" is particularly poignant, as it suggests that even though we may feel overwhelmed and exhausted at times, we will always have the strength to go on. This can be seen as a tribute to the human spirit, which is capable of remarkable resilience and endurance in the face of adversity.

on Kali Yuga
She didn't write this song. It's an old song from the 1950s and she added a few words.
