Presto and Lemoy do it again!!

As most of you readers would know, I did a couple of blogs on Lemoy one of which also featured Presto. The best thing about this is that these two artists are from two different parts of the world, I mean litterally! Lemoy is from UK and Presto is from the USA, These guys have grabbed the attention of hiphophead.com This song is about poverty and I can't help but notice the relevance of the song especially during times like this. It is sad that those with the money and power just don't care about thopse without. I have a high level respect for both of these artists since they are addressing an issue that is recognizied world wide!!

Interview with Raging Storm

I went to a friends house today and got introduced to Raging Storm The man who gave us Real Talk with Raging strom. I was so pleased to meet him I thought i would ask him a few questions about The facebook page.

What inspired you?

I was on a forum called Back in the day and we started talking about 9/11 and the people behind the forum said they didn't want to us discuss this issue so I decided to open a facebook accout where I could just ask questions and get people's responses.

How many people were on the facebook account?

There were just  18 of us on the 25 December 2010 now there are more than 1500 members and still growing. I have made it a point that no one swears on the page because most of the time when there is swearing in comments people end up swearing at each other and then lose the whole point of the debate or discussion.

What do you think draws people to join Real Talk

Truth.

How many members do you predict you will have by the 25 of December this year?

Haven't got a clue, people come and they go.

Mr Raging Storm thank you for taking the time to share about your page!

The truth of the matter is that we need pages like real talk with Raging Storm to keep the element of freedom of speech a true right of the human race. Most people take for granted  the ability to think for ourselves and ask questions. I hope more pages like this continue to emmerge to increase the consciousness of the average person since we are seemingly surounded by information that is misleading most of the time. Especialy in the media

Big Cakes' video for "My Soul"

Im not going to beat about the bush, this tune is just different! Big cakes is that artist who tells it as it is, his lyrics are as potent as the album name says. I was especially moved when he said a special shout out to the free thinkers out there. The music business has been plagued by a market that trades in souls and as a result some artists are doing very well and then you have those who chose not to enter the market at all. Its not surprising how the world turns out, its down to the way one thinks and acts since everything has consecuences. I hope more people appreciate this as much as I do and that more people have their minds opened. The whole album is phenomenal to be honest, another tune I have been playing is "Brothers back in Africa" very honest and opionionated. Most of you readers have probably bought the album and can relate to what I am saying in this Blog. To be Frank I have taken too long to do this but here it is. Blue Cheese is out now and has been for sometime now and if you haven't bought it, why not? I mean seriously, there is a lot of truth to be shared in the album and once again I like the album because there is a very real message to heard in the album. Blue Cheese is out now available on iTunes and  Right here Look out for his forth coming album "CCC"

Kwamo presents his EP: Green Graz

I know its been a while since I have put up an update, the truth is I have a had a lot of personal issues recently and have decided to push them aside for a minute. I was talking to a friend from California and he had just finished his EP called Green Graz. The Hip hop genre has grown magnificently and this EP is an excellent example of this growth. People are more in tune with making music with substance. From start to finish this EP is  really good, I'm not just saying so because I know who made it but because of the message that is being conveyed. There are many people that can relate to what is being said from track to track, I especially like "basic instinct". The vocals, the lyrics, the instrumental all merging to create a masterpiece. I just hope that this is just a scratch on the surface with more depth and reason to come when Kwamo and O.G. Productions release an album. This is definitely a force to recognize and will be on the airwaves sooner than you think. Green Graz is  available NOW on sound cloud at the link below

The magazine is here!!

It has been a very interesting year since this blog started. There have been a lot of developments including new affiliations being forged and old acquaintances coming back and working  with Entel Digimag. Last month saw the first official release of the magazine and has been read all over the world and has been bringing back some interesting feed back. Naturally it is a work in progress and continues to improve all the time, its a pity that most of the work done concerning the magazine is done by one person. Some people who didn't believe have had a change of heart and those that did have been proud to be there to witness the metamorphosis of this publication. Some people have jumped on board and joined the team without flinching because they could see the potential of the magazine. One of the new affiliates   has been so impressed that they were eager to arrange a launch party for the magazine so that is also in the pipeline. Whats going on in 2012? A lot  to say the least, people from different parts of the world are now involved and we can only develop and progress further. There is no room for stagnation with Entel in fact the next step is to invite e-commerce entrepreneurs to advertise their products and services in the magazine since the readership is constantly growing. Technology has played a major role in the development of this publication and continues to contribute massively. There will be growth in the number of things covered in the magazine since people have demanded certain things to be in the magazine.

Open publication - Free publishing - More entertainment

Kiss off

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I have an eclectic mindset when it comes to music. There is nothing better than people coming together and doing what they love.Kiss off are a new group land have this underground indie tune called "Misfit" this song is aimed at the average Joe or Jane to remind them that they are special as they are at least that is the message I am getting I could be mistaken but judging from the way the video was directed it seems to put the average person in the spot light. I look forward to more stuff from Kiss off. They are full of energy and seem to be bursting with talent. These young ladies are taking London by storm and will be making a great impression over the coming year!

Following Meme Stubbs at Rip The Runway UK 2011

Some of life's big events will pass you by as long as you do nothing about them. The same goes for Rip the run way UK. A couple of months ago I was asked to cover the behind the scenes of the event by filming Meme interviewing some of the designers, models and artists. Some were shy and some were just not saying anything. It was a pleasure to come across people such as Master Shorty, XO and Fontz who all performed during the show. The filming was courtesy of Rozar who is currently working on very interesting projects at the moment. Rip the runway UK 2011 was a roaring success and I am looking forward to the next one in 2012
