One Vibe Africa Presents: Year Of Return (Trailer)
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.

Mazzi & S.O.U.L. – “Dalmations”
Lyrical workout of the day for sure. Mazzi & S.O.U.L. Purpose on this “Dalmations” running a gang of hella hard breakbeats like a Hip-Hop marathon. Beat work courtesy DJ Rob Flow.
“Dalmations” is the intro track from Mazzi & S.O.U.L. Purpose “The Building” album! Produced by DJ Rob Flow…
Mazzi x S.O.U.L. Purpose – “WYD?”
Hitting hard with the marching band style drumming from the start. And that line, “How come knowledge is so readily available but hidden?” That is should require a bit more than passive thought of you. Slow down when you play it back, but first time through just feel the flow.
“WYD” is a single from the Mazzi & S.O.U.L. Purpose “The Building” album!
Mazzi x S.O.U.L. Purpose – “Our Sand” (Video)

MAZZI feat. S.O.U.L. Purpose – “Digital Diggin 3Minus1” (EP)
Quite often in Hip Hop old school purists will complain about technology.  The fact is technology has its pros and cons but regardless it’s here to stay and only moving faster with time.  So check this out MAZZI & S.O.U.L (Sense Of Understanding Life’s) Purpose composed an EP where MAZZI rhymes over beats made with samples all found online.  Clever Concept this is also a project of substance with a portion of of proceeds from all S.O.U.L. Purpose albums go to charity, and Mazzi regularly travels to Palestine and Israel for humanitarian work, bringing medical supplies and conducting workshops, talent shows and live performances for youth in refugee camps.
Oh and if you are wondering about his resume if you might not ever heard of MAZZI?  Well he has only shared stages with Eminem, Big Pun, G-Unit, Ghostface, M.O.P., Slick Rick, Erykah Badu and many more.  So good music that helps a good cause sounds like a good thing all the way around!
