One Vibe Africa Presents: Year Of Return (Trailer)
March 4, 2020
From the U.S. back to Kenya. Yes indeed.
You KNOW we are about travel abroad (e.g. from The States to overseas destinations). But this one hits home. As in Mother Africa, being home to ALL humanity and civilization. And this… this is epic. Of course, you know plenty of Sisters and Brothers who have declared that ‘one day’ they are going to make that pilgrimage back Home. Making it a big deal; maybe ‘too big’ a deal. But what if that ‘pilgrimage’ was less of a ‘trip’ to take. Like, let’s just say the family, the homies, the homegirls… are going to make it to an awesome event… and take in some of The Motherland while over that way. We could do that, right? We already do it for other festivals.
And like those other festivals, maybe we make it a yearly thing; or trips more often if we find things over there that draw us back.
Moving Madaraka Festival from Seattle back to Kenya signified the importance of not only arranging for individuals to travel back to Africa as it was with the case of Ghana’s year of return initiative, but getting significant events back to Africa and keeping them in Africa as a way to build a sustainable bridge allowing people of all backgrounds to travel to Africa to enjoy a festival of a lifetime, immerse themselves in the African culture, and inspire global change and collaboration towards mitigating climate change, which does not only threaten the climate but is an existential threat to our music, culture, and livelihood.

Ghostwriting: Rap’s Messiest Secret (Video)
February 20, 2017
Think about your all-around fav emcees. Would they still be if you found out they did not pen those rhymes that have you holding them in such high regard? Welcome to the conversation.
Good breakdown by Justin Hunte on the whole ghostwriting thing. I’ve definitely got thoughts on it. Even put ’em in the Twitterverse from time to time. Not fully accepting or deeply butt hurt by those cats. I am a proponent of calling out folks on their sh!t… even the self-procalaimed ‘god emcees.’
DJ Khaled’s “Shinin†featuring Beyonce and Jay Z seems to include another subliminal aimed at Drake. But what would an outward battle between Hov and Drizzy actually look like, considering the two MCs each come from eras with differing tolerance for ghostwriting? Tyrese let the cat out of the bag during his interview with The Breakfast Club this week. He’s planning to release the ghostwriters and reference tracks to all ghostwritten rhymes included on his next album under his rap alias, Black Ty. But how is lyrical greatness defined when crews are enlisted to craft classics? Stones Throw Records MC Homeboy Sandman, as well as Rude Jude from the All Out Show on Shade45 share their perspective on rap’s dirtiest secret.

People forget abt that Kanye reference verse & flow for Jay Z. Young Chris whisper style getting jacked by Jay Z too https://t.co/8RVmF9Zg6x

Fan Video Of A Jay Electronica x MF Doom Collaboration (Video)
May 30, 2016
On Facebook: MF Doom shared Sick Rick’s video.
Take this in… immediately! Copies are showing up and coming down across the web. Also, take this for what it is. A rare collabo ‘performance’ by Doom and Jay Elect. Though it hints at the release of a collaborative track… Meh, maybe. It’d be nice.
