Calling All Zimbabwe/Zambia based Emcees and Singers

Fri, 01 Mar 2013 08:32:33 +0000

Calling All Zimbabwe/Zambia based Emcees and Singers:- Slam Dunk Records TV of Zambia and Da Grapevine TV of Zimbabwe bring to you the UNWTO 2013 Mixtape. The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) is the United Nations agency responsible for the promotion of responsible, sustainable and universally accessible tourism. In August this year both countries will jointly be hosting the general assembly.
Slam Dunk Records TV and Da Grapevine TV saw it fit to share with the rest of the world our culture through music, tackling various topics and vices in both societies. This Mixtape will be the first of its kind and will serve as an outlet for Zambian and Zimbabwean youth to voice their opinions and stories of today’s happenings.

The assembly will have up to 4 000 participants that are expected to attend from the 180 member countries, making this one of the most prestigious events of the year. Zambia and Zimbabwe both have a rich history and share a world heritage site, namely the Victoria Falls which is the biggest waterfalls in the world. This will be a great opportunity not only for tourists to experience the sites but also the versatile and diverse sounds that exist in both lands.

If you would like to submit your music for consideration email:- unwtomixtape@gmail.com before June 30th 2013. We will also be uploading beats from participating producers. Be creative, talk about your surroundings and your reality, try and fuse in different elements such as local instruments and dialect where you can. We would also like to encourage collaborations between Zambians and Zimbabweans through this project.

Regards

Kenya South Africa music project download pt.2

Wed, 31 Oct 2012 13:33:18 +0000

Cruz Control vol.1 -Produced by MM3RD Hosted by Apu Sebekedi

In the post-apartheid Nation of South Africa, in the Northwest province of Mafikeng, poets and rappers from different part of Africa usher in 2012 rapping, speaking in poetic tongues narrating through an array of native idioms ranging from Sheng, Swahili, isiZulu, Setswana, Pidgin, Motswako. This project was called A Dollar a Day, the theme urging responsible leadership, and including youth in political decision-making.

Fast forward to the summer of 2012 inside Dextraw studio, here resides MM3rd aka Akili Blaq who is putting the final touches to the 2011 summer sequel of A dollar day. As a beat maker his acceptance is a resounding nod from the global Hiphop community. His following is a dedicated audience safeguarded by an artistry that spits gems on his versatile compositions. Listening to 3rd one easily concludes porosity to a large array of music; Bhangra, Fela Kuti, T.P. O.K Jazz, Dilla ! This is why Cruz Control vol.1 his latest production released today on the 29th of October 2012 is generating a buzz in the social media,thumbs up,indexes already clicking on the download button.

Lefoko abbreviates to LFK, a Hip-hop Movement from Mafikeng, in the North West Province of South Africa, otherwise known as theMotswako republic. LFK continues to dominate the Hiphop culture in the region following the creation of performance spaces since 2003.

3rd says, “Cruz control vol 1 was a limited edition project that was pushed off backpacks. Most of us were unemployed then we couldn't produce often. During this time I took went ahead to study the craft while taking any opportunity to arrest vocals of LFK members . Gradually I acquired better equipment, making more beats and re-mastering CC vol. 1.”

Features on Cruz Control vol 1. include KT, Bekz, Relevant Source, Thai, Gomez, Andyvidual, Aro, Mo Klaasik, Rhuff, Hara, UK Grym and Dub selector Dj AK, TLS, K9, Nasi repping Sotho Mafia and of course APU runs the show. Since the younger years of LFK MM3rd put in a lot of work in artists’ promotions and event management.

MM3rD's chutzpah fingers tunes crisp beats on this production. Whilst the facilitation of the project overseen by none other than Partners Lerato Mosimane(PAYT -South Africa) & Muki Garang from (Maisha yetu,Kenya). Abu Sebekedi hosts Cruz Control with his humor and MC skills, his character serving as the backdrop ofMM3rD's inspiration.

LFK’s introduction to the South African Hiphop scene saw the release of a compilation Spring sessions vol 1 a local classic among Motswako fans in South Africa & Botswana to date. Lefoko's territorial sound comprises hosting all elements of hiphop and a huge crowd at the local city gazebo - something similar to what we do at WAPI (words and pictures) here in Nairobi Kenya or Black Sunday in Soweto. This saw LFK members performing at the 2010 FIFA world cup in South Africa.

It should be noted that LFK is actually considered a home by most of the artists in ADAD and CC vol.1. Muki says, “LFK is the only movement and studio that allows you to be on the same level with the big names of Mafikeng’s trademark Motswako. Here we share one space breaking one bread.”

Some of the artists working hand in hand with LFK just to mention but a few are Hempza Mawawa,Khuli Chana, Mo Klaasik, and Morafe. For a full list of featured artists visit Dextraw studio site.

Cruz Control vol 1 Reloaded boasts 22 solid track,topics ranging from party, everyday struggle, love and even battle raps. Abu sebekedi’s BEE lady is bound to rouse debate while KT and TLS profess their love in Dejavu. Gomez & Villa challenge Mcees in their up-front tswana chant Same mess and K9 quashes all punchlines thrown by your favourite rapper in Severe punches. It is Hiphop music with certain soulful edge and at times amped up, charged with drums that could get you to easily toyi toyi in the office or at your wedding. This music can be downloaded here.

I AM POETIC!!

Mon, 17 Sep 2012 18:22:08 +0000

I am Poetic, not because I use the biggest words or because my similes complement my word structure, not even because my grammar allows my words to rhyme, but because my soul has a mind of it own, I am poetic because I have the biggest heart, I am poetic because my Big heart complements my mind on a Job well done, I am poetic because my Mind returns the favor by helping to pick up the hearts pieces when the world has done its part, I am poetic because God whispers secrets to my soul, and I always catch a couple words here and there, which I quickly jot down hoping to one day realize the full message, I am poetic because when I write, I make sure my Heart and mind switch places for the moment...

hurt and pain, my bloody freaks!
time...selfish and disguised;
yet - all heals with time
stars claim shine, music and poetry - rhymes
who ordained freaks of mine?
time and life - take to give!
kept engaged in a sequence of whitewashes
with time, a goal is reached.
that brighter day will come - all will be enlightened
look not up to me
follow me not
for my heels are bruised and bleeding
a walk in my steps is an experience of hurt and pain
my back is tattoed with blame
face clothed with a mundane smile
like warriors on chariots of horses, i'm on a ride with emotions
talks of joy n peace, cuts and bruises - journey of losses!
lessons learned, lessons ignored
"lift your face to the sky!"
will it give me a kiss of life?
"confess your hurt and pain"
will it turn back or save me time?
