This CD recently came to my attention, and I wanted to share my discovery with the fam on AG. ;)
DJ SARASA (former DMC Japan finalist) released a Mix-CD in conjunction with the Kwanzaa Clothing Store in Shibuya (Tokyo) and DJ Honda Recordings.
Kwanzaa is a hip-hop clothing store with an Afrocentric touch reminiscent of the Native Tongue days of hip-hop, and to commemorate Afro-centricity in hip-hop they collaborated with DJ SARASA to release a Mix-CD featuring a lot of African hip-hop artists from Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Rwanda, South Africa, Canada, Japan and the United States.
The CD was released on DJ Honda's label a day prior to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan last year.
Below is a picture of the actual release, tracklist, and a link where it can be purchased in case anyone here would like to order a copy from Japan. 8)
