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!

Dungeon Music debut

The way of life that has been depicted by the numerous voices of  London Hip hop have been granted a new conduit through Station FM. DJ Evidenz and Sovon Bedrock on the decks playing tunes from the likes of Rodney P, Just Listen, Father Akes and many many more!! The best bit about the show was not only is it on a Friday, it’s on from 11am till 2pm and available online via the website. It was an emotional event for Sonov Bedrock and the Masters as the debut show was a resounding success as reflected by the response from the listeners. Since there will be more shows to come this will be a window of opportunity for artists in the London hip hop community who otherwise haven’t been that fortunate in the past. The talent that was featured on the show was just drop in the ocean of music from all sides of London. Normally a situation where an experienced producer gets the chance to work in a radio station, they would be biased to their own crowd. Dungeon Muzik is different, they are inviting everyone who has good hiphop music to offer to showcase what they have and expand their following. Its projects like this that result in collaborations from different areas and unifying a community that has been identified in the past as divided. The best part is this is just the beginning and there is a lot more where that came from. Some of the artists featured on the show have been unsung heroes in this sector of hip hop for the past ten years. It’s quite something to be involved in such a huge development that is set gather momentum as the times progress. @EntelDigimag will be with Dungeon Muzik at Station FM every week to give you an update on the guests coming to the studio, up coming events and the latest developments in London Hip hop.

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

The Masterz LP by Sonov Bedrock

 

 Am I satisfied with the result? The best response I can think of is "Yes Man!!" The reason I say so is because there is not a lot of albums out there where a group of individuals come together to produce a hip hop work of art such as The Masterz. The Artists include OphQui, SlimStar, Just Listen, Father Aches, Turn'a Pound, Young Dev and Trubbz. Its amazing how long its been since the last time I saw such an all star cast on one album. Every MC on here has earned their credibility in their own right over an extended period of time. Speaking nothing more than truth whether with anger or swagger the message still travels through the music. This has to be one of the best if not the best hip hop collaboration album out right now! In fact, the hype developing around this album should come as no surprise. Realness and authenticity personified by the artists and a display of an array of creativity from the producer. Its available now at http://sonovbedrock.bandcamp.com/album/the-masterz
