Kokayi - Track a day for 2014 #USA

My friend Kokayi is def one of the best Mc's I've ever been blessed to work with. He's also an incredible educator, Grammy nominated artist and producer who's been making tons of beats for years. Take a look to his latest project that also Washington City Paper has been writing about and listen to that here.

FREE Ceschi compaign #freeceschi #USA


Independent record label Fake Four founder Ceschi Ramos is serving an 18 month sentence on a questionable marijuana charge. After his family was threatened and he was forced to give a coached statement by police he ended up going to court for years. In the end he has taken a reasonable plea bargain compared to the 5-7 years he was facing. Right now the stability of Fake Four is being threatened by Ceschi's situation & the exorbitant amount of legal fee debt that has been accumulated.

I had honour to collaborate with Ceschi producing the beat for Nomadic Wax's "Super MC" f. Omar Offendum, Lou Piensa (Nomadic Massive), Jarabe Del Sol, M.O.A. (Jmni), Outspoken, Hadjii and Dj Boo. I do love Ceschi's style and I think it's one of the most innovative out there.

Take a listen to his music, check out his incredible record label, support this campaign and share to the world! FREE CHESCHI!!!

"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.
