RFEC is a deeply personal reflection on racism in the south, where the Gadsden, AL native was raised, and America at-large.

From the 1950s-70s, Knowles experienced one of many firstsfrom integrating all-white schools in the south, up through his experiences in the corporate, and later music world. There he helped cement music history by introducing his bloodline and managed talent to the world with Beyonc (Destiny's Child) and Solange Knowles. His experiences as a child with police cattle prods and other such heinous practices used on protestors, all shaped his hyper-awareness of racismeven found in households like his own, in the form of colorism. Such controversial subjects are not new; however, they have been stirring up international dialogue recently. Knowles shot to the center of the subject by asking us to consider if the music industry's own colorism issues might still be in play.
