"Home" - Nomadic Wax's audio documentary mixed by Dj Boo #U.S.A. #WorldWide

Project Synopsis/Description:

Home is a musical conversation on the global struggle for housing. Original verses and tracks on the subject from artists all over the world are expertly mixed together with first-person testimonies from the United States and South Africa. Seamlessly mixed together by Dj Boo, this audio documentary aims to highlight a series of issues in the struggle for homes: inadequate access to employment and healthcare, war, displacement, gentrification, immigration, eviction, lack of services, homelessness and the foreclosure crisis, to name a few. Pieces of conversation weave in and out between songs, verses, and the production of political hip hop heavyweights the Cornel West theory, grounding the music in lived experience, offering an intimate glimpse into the perspective of everyday people fighting for their homes.

Outspoken & The Essence #Zimbabwe

Outspoken & The Essence Present: The Slave Master’s Whip

Outspoken Tha Humble Neophyte, lyrical wordsmith, cultural activist, and community organizer has been at the forefront of Zimbabwe's hip-hop movement, as made evident through his freshly dropped single 'The Slave Master's Whip.'

This track is an introduction to Outspoken & The Essence and the group's own interpretation of hip-hop. It is a conversation starter to the double album release, which will come out on May 16 (2013). The track speaks on rapper Outspoken's influences growing up and where his focus remains today. 'The SlaveMasters Whip' represents the duality of taking control of his own future, but in doing so, inevitably having that future control him; drive and determination thus becoming his own master.

Outspoken & The Essence is a Afro Rhythm inspired hip-hop band with Outspoken as a Poet/Emcee frontman who manipulates his voice as another dimension to the instrumentation (which is really just a fancy way of saying that he also sings on most of the tracks…). The band consists of Drum, Bass Guitar, Lead Guitar, Sparse Violin and Horns and Vocalists. Since being formed in 2007, the group has performed in many festivals in Southern Africa. Frontman Outspoken has also travelled elsewhere in Africa, Europe and the United States performing and workshopping on spoken word.
