On August 9th 2014, A young man named Mike Brown was gunned down in the streets of Ferguson, Missouri by a police officer named Darren Wilson. On November 24th 2014 a grand jury decided AGAINST indicting Officer Wilson on a murder charge despite numerous reports of Mike Brown (who had no weapon) surrendering with his hands up. When will we get justice for our youth? When will governments around the world hold the police accountable for their actions? When will this madness stop? One thing to remember is that in this situation, peace is the only way to go. The powers that be WANT a violent reaction to events like this so please stay peaceful and keep those #HandsUp. Hip Hop is your saviour….
RIP MIKE BROWN & ALL THE FALLEN SOLDIERS!

DJ Premier’s “Bars In The Booth” is for SERIOUS SPITTERS ONLY! For the uninitiated, “Bars in the Booth” revolves around titan emcees of all genres coming thru and being put to the test over a DJ Premier track!

Simply, “Bars in the Booth” isn’t about age, popularity, or how many Twitter followers you have; it’s about an Emcee and a DJ moving the crowd—and that is the definition of Hip-Hop.

For Session 6, Premier linked up with up with a very familiar face, Freddie Foxxx AKA Bumpy Knuckles.

Stimulus + Jimi Hendrix Are Stimmi Hendrix – “(F*&k the) Old Me” #AUDIO @therealstimulus @JimiHendrix

fucktheoldme

Born and breed in Brooklyn, NY, but currently residing overseas, Stimulus is a member of the well-known live band The Real Live Show and has had his music featured on Showtime, a Pontiac TV commercial as well as esteemed sites such as Hypetrak.com, Okayplayer.com, Urb.com, Potholesinmyblog.com, frank151.com and fusicology.com.

In addition to being a member of The Real Live Show, Stimulus’ diversity as an emcee, producer and DJ has been exhibited previously on 3rd 1st Impression, a collaborative mixtape he released in 2011 with Chris “Daddy” Dave (some may know Chris as the drummer for Mos Def, others know him as Maxwell’s Grammy-winning producer, and still others know his as a key component in the jazz/hip-hop group The Robert Glasper Experiment and for producing tracks for Maxwell and Dr. Dre) which featured Stim working alongside Bilal and Stokley of Mint Condition.

More recently, Stimulus and Bora Uzer created Analog People, who released their first single, We Are Analog People,” in August 2014 and they just wrapped up a tour where they performed 59 shows in 61 days.

While you can currently see Outkast’s Andre 3000 channeling his “inner-Jimi” on the silver screen in All Is By My Side) Stimulus takes things to a new level with his new passion project, Stimmi Hendrix, which features Stim interpolating some of his favorite Jimi Hendrix tracks (with a Brooklyn touch)!

“I decided to produce this project because of how much Hendrix has meant to me as an artist. I discovered Jimi Hendrix when I started looking up sampling credits of hip hop songs. I saw his name in the credits of Pharcyde’s “Passin Me By” and went from there. I ended buying as much of his catalog as possible. Listening to Are You Experienced in my dorm room in High School, I was hooked immediately and stopped listening to anything else. I hope this project introduces more people to his work as well as the work of other artists he influenced” Stimulus states.

Stimulus + Jimi Hendrix are Stimmi Hendrix: A Ritual Reunion will be released on 27-11-14.

Homeboy Sandman – ‘Happy Thanksgiving’. Homeboy Sandman explains, “This cut is called ‘Happy Thanksgiving.’ It’s the story of a Native American going out like a champ before being slaughtered by European settlers. It was produced by Psycho Les of The Beatnuts”.

“The antidote to feel-good history is not feel-bad history but honest and inclusive history.” – James Loewen, Lies My Teacher Told Me

We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving here in the UK, but to all our Stateside family enjoy the holiday! Peace n Blessings

dreamsandreality

Chicago born MC MKV and New Zealand producer Concept return with their latest release titled “Dreams & Reality”. What sparked the name is the obstacles and road blocks of reality that you face while trying to pursue your dreams.

The 8 track EP has a feel good, soulful positive vibe which takes you on a journey from beginning to end. “Dreams & Reality” is a follow-up to MKV & Concept’s previous collaborative project, “When The Pieces Come Together EP”.

Its hard to find any faults with this dope release, really feeling the production from Concept that gels with MKV’s lyrics and flow.
