Hot Traxxx / DJ SARASA a.k.a. Silverboombox - KWANZAA!

« on: February 21, 2012, 10:39:06 PM »

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.

Hot Traxxx / Thank God We Are Not A Nigerians

« on: November 17, 2011, 10:23:01 PM »

The FOKN BOIS from Ghana recorded this track ahead of the Ghana - Nigeria friendly match that was played in Watford. I think the track is hilarious, but some took serious offence to it, what is your take on it?

This is some bullshit, sounds like a serious case of entrapment if you ask me! And that Colombian drug trafficker turned DEA agent is a real bitch for what he did... for those who don't know...

Hot Traxxx / The Black Star Line - Mixtape Vol 1 [FREE DOWNLOAD]

« on: February 18, 2011, 09:59:36 PM »

Modenine dropped this in my email this morning, and I was really impressed so here is the scoop...

Billboard topping producer, Coptic in a quest to bring African and US hip-hop together, has released the much-awaited ‘Black Star Line Mixtape Vol 1’. The mixtapes which is hosted by DJ Black (Ghana) and Lee Kasumba (South Africa) is available to members of www.TheBlackStarLine.com for listening and downloading. Some lucky members will also win free t-shirts and hard copies of the mixtape.

‘The Black Star Line Mixtape Vol 1’ features songs from some of the best rappers from Africa and America as well as several collaborations between a number of the featured artists. . It features: Raekwon, Kwaw Kesse(Ghana), DBlack(Ghana), Havoc, Prince Eddie Atlas(Uganda), Black Rob, Iwan(Ghana), ModeNine(Nigeria), Aba** Aba** (Senegal), Lufu(Tanzania), Smif-n-Wessun, Makhtar(Senegal), Dead Prez, Dumi Right(Zimbabwe), M.anifest(Ghana), Memphis Bleek, Wanlov & M3nsa(FOKN Bois), Mugeez (Ghana), Mr Veezy(Zambia), Arabian Knightz(Egypt), Trigmatic(Ghana), Aba** Aba**(Senegal), Don Klemente(DRC), Gibril Da African(Ghana), Meta & The Cornerstones(Senegal), and Asem(Ghana).

‘The Black Star Line Mixtape Vol 1’ is a precursor to ‘Close to My Roots’, s a project dedicated to creating great music featuring African and American artists and exposing the “true” African sound and its musicians to the global music market. Eric “Coptic” Matlock, the producer of this album, who was born and raised in Ghana believes that Africa has a strong Hip Hop, Reggae and Cultural Rap presence that is often overlooked in regards to its worldwide musical influence. “The continent has many talented artists that need to be exposed to the rest of the world,” he comments.

Coptic migrated to the U.S. at 13 and started producing music years later. He since has produced records for The Notorious B.I.G (If I Should Die Before I Wake & Living The Life), Puff Daddy aka “Diddy” (I Need A Girl), Jermaine Dupri (All That’s Gotta Go), Ma$e, KRS-One, Shyne and countless other successful artists on their platinum plus albums.

Hot Traxxx / Throwback Zim Track

« on: October 29, 2010, 06:32:16 AM »

This is one of the first Zim tracks Metaphysics put me on to when he came to Germany back in '98, it's a track off the "Everyone's Child" soundtrack, an independent Zimbabwean film from 1996, which was directed by Tsitsi Dangarembga. The track is called "I'd rather be a Gangster" by Laygwan Sharkie.
Found the song on youtube, and it took me back to a time 12 years ago... thought I should share it, enjoy!
