[VIDEO] KA-OUR FATHER DIRECTED BY KA

This brother always provides inspiration. Honest and insightful lyrics, the beat is hauntingly banging and he does most, if not all of his own production, video directing and filming. I so respect that. Brooklyn keeps on taking it!

[VIDEO] “Wrath of the Siafu” (Organizing is the New Cool Soundtrack)

http://www.organizingisthenewcool.com

If Hip Hop was a hurricane, then Wrath of the Siafu would be positioned somewhere in the eye of the storm. Wrath of the Siafu, the first single release off of the Organizing is the New Cool Soundtrack is a perfect example of the underlying theme of the documentary film. This thunderous anthem is an amalgamation of 11 of Atlanta’s heaviest hitting independent artists who lyrically ambush a hardcore instrumental that will leave the avid Hip Hop connoisseur begging for more! The Dynamite Bruhz produced track features a who’s who of internationally respected underground emcees including: StaHHr, Mike Flo, members of The Liuns Den and Craig “Flux” Singleton (co-producer of the film). This is a guaranteed Hip Hop Classic.

About The Siafu
The Siafu is the logo of community activists’ organization FTP Movement, an artistic representation of the Siafu Ant of Eastern Africa, a species that exemplifies the essence of teamwork. The Siafu has no eyes and no venom – only strong jaws. Individually each is small, but as a team they can strip a water buffalo down to the bone in less than an hour. FTP Movement is much like the Siafu Ant — small in size, but powerful beyond measure. For more information on FTP Movement visit http://www.Ftpmovement.ning.com

Featuring: Zayd Malik, El Sun, Ekundayo, Methuzulah, Mike Flo, G.R.E.A.T. Scott, FluxWonda, Isreal, Sa Roc, Chosen, StaHHr

Produced by Dynamite Bruhz
Cutz by DJ Presyce
Recorded, Mixed by Amond Jackson for Salem Psalms LLC

[VIDEO] staHHr- “NOIRE” PRODUCED BY KYO ITACHI (FRANCE) DIRECTED BY NICK BURNZ

Whether you first heard ” Noire”(which means “black” in French)  on Kyo Itachi’s “Musikyo” or got hip to it from staHHr’s  “That Was You?”, you will undoubtedly enjoy the new video directed by Nick Burnz (Black Algebra) all the same. staHHr, hailing from Atlanta, joined forces with French producer Kyo Itachi ( Ruste Juxx, John Robinson, Bankai Family) to create this boom bap heavy joint. If you’re a graf enthusiast, you’ll definitely appreciate the backdrop of this video. Shot on location in Atlanta, we were fortunate to get this footage, as the building was torn down just days after the shoot.
