Buttah Update#6:Reflections

projektcancer — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 01:00:05 -0500

Its been a long road and a hard drive but with drive and determination nothing is far fetched.
Shortly after the professor’s abstract thesis was handed in, 2011 welcomed a brand new masquerade with open arms . Meanwhile several XperimentZ were carried out in the wee hours before dawn leading to exceptional results with the public echoing “nice one” in unison. Many moons passed before the crew had to Illastr8 II the world that hip-hop is a common language with out restrictions or rigid forms somewhat desultory but with a driving cohesiveness invisible to the untrained eye.

Thanks for the support y’all…let’s keep the same energy come 2012..big things fam!!

AJCP is an audio quasi-documentary inspired by Africa’s rich musical and political history. Teck-Zilla goes the extra mile and digs deep into the sounds from 70s Africa.Splices them with rich commentary/sound bites from Africa’s great political & musical visionaries such as Nkrumah, Lumumba, Nnamdi Azikiwe,Sunny Ade,Fela Kuti etc. to create a fusion of raw edged boom-bap beats laced with African melodies and rhythm.

Rebel, radical, icon - Remembering Fela, the true article Music - This Is Africa

projektcancer — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 10:47:07 -0400

Rebel, radical, icon - Remembering Fela, the true article Music - This Is Africa:

If he were alive today he would have turned 73 a few days ago. We’re talking, of course, about the pioneer of Afrobeat, Fela Anukulapo Kuti, one of those rare artists whose significance goes so far beyond their art that we call them icons.

Revolutionary, independent thinker, social commentator, politically-engaged to a degree unmatched by any Nigerian musician before or since.

Funny thing is that Fela didn’t particularly want to be remembered. According to The Huffington Post, when asked by author Carlos Moore if he wanted to leave an imprint on the world, he said:

No. Not at all. You know what I want? I want the world to change. I don’t want to be remembered. I just want to do my part and leave. If remembering is part of the world’s thing, then that’s their problem. I’ll do my part. I have to do my part. And everyone has to do his. Not for what they’re going to remember you for, but for what you believe in as a man. A human being should be like that.

Well, sorry, man, but you can’t help but be remembered. You had the courage and independence of thought to call it as you saw it, and nothing changes in this world without both these qualities

Also in the spirit of Felabration is this FREE-TO-DOWNLOAD Afrobeat remix of Nigerian rapper Fecko the Emcee’s Flow Global, featuring New Jersey-bred rapper TALoNTED and produced, by Teck-Zilla.

Enjoy, but if you haven’t listened to Fela in a while, blow the dust off those LPs or CDs and listen again to what made the dude special.
