Sunday Hip-Hop!

 

What's good Hip-Hop heads? Been a good weekend, sad to see some people moving away but, that just means I get to travel to new places to go visit them!

Thought I'd serve you with some Hip-Hop tracks for your Sunday evening - Enjoy!

Elzhi - It Ain't Hard To Tell 

Seriously Underrated in Hip-Hop, his delivery is just awe-inspiring - check some of his albums "The Breakfast Club" and "Elmatic" Mixtape are some real classics.

Classified - Anybody Listening

Canadian artist whose lyricism just flows effortlessly and I like the take on a Genesis classic.

Akrobatik - Built to Last

Been a fan for a long time. Versatility at its best.

HipHopInformant - We Are Hip-Hop!

Hip-Hop to start your Summer off right!

 

What's good Hip-Hop heads! I have some exciting interview coming up so stay tuned for them.

Wanted to hit you with a few tracks you could listen to in the sun so have a listen and enjoy!

Peace.

Nate ft. Cyclonious, Lowkey & Amy True - One Wish

Saw Amy True perform last week and she was amazing, look out for an interview with her soon!

Blue Scholars - Yuri Kochiyama

Common Market - Swell



Greenhouse Hooligans - The Conversation

Early Happy New Year post!

2012 is nearly here! I said it before but, I'll say it again. Hip-Hop has been mixed this year. We've had the dance-type tracks and we've had some good albums.

Look forward to seeing what 2012 has in store for the Hip-Hop world and I'm excited to see Underground artists change their music, get it out to everyone and really make people listen and say "This is some fresh sh*t!"

Want to say a HUGE thank you and shout-out to my homie, Hired Gun - much love going out to him for letting me listen to his new project and just generally supporting me all throughout the whole, HipHopInformant process and I look forward to hearing "Nice Guys Finish".
Shout-outs going to all my people all over the world, and of course to you guys - the readers my Hip-Hop heads!

Have a great New Year - have fun and stay safe and I'll be back here soon.

I'm going to leave you with a few new tracks, some old just a collection of some stuff I've listened to. I will have "The Evolution of Hip-Hop Volume 3" up here soon, had a couple of technical difficulties with it.

Peace.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! R.I.P Heavy D.

Enjoy these Tracks & Happy New Year!

What's good Hip-Hop heads! Apologies for not posting for a while I've been so busy with a lot of projects and Uni stuff I havent been able to post. I'll try and get some regular posts on here in the new year.

This is a just a quick post to tell you that this year's been mad. The Arab Uprising, Occupy Movement and the London riots have all made headlines and changed the way the world operates and even challenged people's perceptions of the world. Remember WE can make a change, we are all revolutionaries.

Happy holidays, be safe and have a great new year. Here are a few tracks to inspire you for any new year's parties or just to expose you to some new tracks. Enjoy these and the holidays!

Basic Vocab - Our Day In The Sun:



Clement Marfo & The Frontline - Overtime:



Jay Electronica - Exhibit C (prod. Just Blaze):

Let's do it BIG in 2012 - HipHopInformant

My Fellow American Project- challenging perceptions...

What's good Hip-Hop heads! Been a while since I posted again, apologies been really busy. Working on getting "The Evolution of Hip-Hop Volume Three" completed. Received an E-mail from someone from My Fellow American. She sent me a link to a video that shows how Muslims are stigmatized as being terrorists. Narrow-minded people feel that it's OK to label normal, hard-working people with this term because of their religion. It's an interesting project and I think the aim is to try and stop this labeling and show that Muslims are like you an me, well of course they are, they are people with families, they are Lawyers, Doctors, members of Society like you and me. I think this is a great idea and I hope it does change and challenges the perceptions of people that think Muslims are "bad" or are terrorists.

What really gets me is that the fact that "Ignorance breeds fear" how can people fear something they know nothing about? Is it because of the media? Is it because other people are doing the same?

Here's a video that Russel Simmons created together with the project :



Here's the My Fellow American video:



Here's the link to the site, have a look, pass it around : http://myfellowamerican.us/

Enjoy, spread the link around and maybe challenge your own perceptions too...

Peace.
