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!!!

33RPM – VOICES OF THE REVOLUTION

EMMANUEL JAL, OMAR OFFENDUM, ZERO PLASTICA, CAMILA MORENO, ZAP THARWAT AND DEAN ATTA AMONGST LINE-UP OF INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS FEATURING ON FREE DIGITAL ALBUM OF REVOLUTIONARY AND POLITICAL MUSIC

 http://33rpmvoices.bandcamp.com/album/33rpm-voices-of-the-revolution | #33rpmvoices

A digital album of ground-breaking revolutionary and political music featuring songs written and produced by a line-up of artists from 33 countries, including Egypt, Syria and Somalia, will be available as a free download from Monday 14 October 2013.

33RPM - Voices of the Revolution presents contributions from the internationally-renowned Sudanese recording artist, activist and former child soldier Emmanuel Jal, Syrian-American MC Omar Offendum, enchanting Chilean folk-rock star Camila Moreno, pioneering Egyptian rapper Zap Tharwat, Italian Hip-Hop group Zero Plastica and leading British performance poet Dean Atta amongst others.

The collection of songs chronicles oppression, uprisings, land rights issues, political and social abuses and acts of revolution, such as the anti-militant track ‘No to Al-Shabab’ by Somali hip hop collective Waayaha Cusub, a dedication to children in conflict zones around the world by India’s alt-rock band Imphal Talkies in ‘Lullaby’, and the Arab Spring anthem ‘Kelmti Horra (My Word Is Free)’ by Tunisian singer-songwriter and “Fairuz of her generation” Emel Mathlouthi.

Drawn directly from the experiences of established and emerging artists representing over 33 countries across 5 continents, the album offers a striking snapshot of places of conflict, war, oppression, resistance and revolution shared through diverse styles and genres of music including Afrofuturismo, soulful New Zealand reggae, Electro Caribe, Malian hip hop and Iranian electronica.

33RPM – Voices of the Revolution was officially launched by Emmanuel Jal at Imperial War Museum North (Manchester, UK) on Sunday 13 October 2013, as part of the Manchester Weekender and IWM’s Catalyst: Contemporary Art and War exhibition.

“It's amazing to be part of this project that brings thirty three artists together from different parts of our world, from thirty three different countries to combine strong voices and bring them together to echo and amplify, and to shine a spotlight on dark places so evil can perform less.”
– Emmanuel Jal

33RPM – Voices of the Revolution is a collaborative project between four independent international grassroots music organizations; Un-Convention (UK), Nomadic Wax (USA), Fora Do Eixo (Brasil) and Tiuna El Fuerte (Venezuela).

The project is also supported by the In Place of War research centre at the University of Manchester (UK).

“Un-Convention and In Place of War are organisations dedicated to telling the stories of artists from sites of conflict, revolution and communities at conflict across the globe. We are delighted to have brought together such an incredible selection of revolutionary voices spanning the globe through the 33RPM release. The music is groundbreaking, politicised and socially conscious. We hope that this release will amplify the voices of the artists.”

– Ruth Daniel, Un-Convention
