» ‎ Da South

Thanks to TV shows like Law and Order and CSI, these days, everyone is familiar with crime scenes. In his first book, Brady “Phanatik” Goodwin walks us through the evidence as he investigates a triple homicide in The Death of Hip Hop, Marriage & Morals. Many youth and young adults do not know their history and yet the past 100 years have seen some of the most “game-changing” developments in psychology and philosophy. These historic shifts take place at the academic level in our universities and then trickle down to the street level where many of us live them out without even knowing.

On Def Ears Released Today – Manchild and Sintax the Terrific
» ‎ Sphere of Hip Hop

What you’ve got in your hands is a piece of history. Before anyone was making Simple Moves or forming Raw Material, there was The Pride. Sintax the Terrific and Manchild have walked a long road together in life and through Hip-Hop music. Their friendship and artistry continues today through their shared affiliation with Deepspace5.

On Def Ears was recorded in 1998. The Pride then consisted of Manchild (Then, Soul Heir the Manchild), Sintax and producer, High Tech the Recon. Their hope, like the hopes of most young rap artists, was that this album would gain them the national attention that they had been working towards for the 2 years previous. But life moves quickly, label deals fell through, and On Def Ears never saw the light of day…until now.

This album has been credited as the style breakthrough point for both Sintax and Manchild. That is, while a raw representation, On Def Ears still stand on its own today as a project that all involved can be proud of. In 2010, we’ve come a long way. Sintax wows audiences and listeners with his in depth and calculated writing style. Manchild has gained an audience with his Mars ILL following and his solo material as being “The Emcee’s Emcee”. Recon has moved on to other ventures and no longer makes hip-hop music. However, is a big part of the foundation of Deepspace5, and to this album.

All Songs Produced by High Tech the Recon

MC Till – Beautiful Break
» ‎ Sphere of Hip Hop

Indie
Reviewed by Garrett Richie

Following up A Beautiful Raw, (MC) Till’s latest release is A Beautiful Break: a combination of his continued examination of the Western Church and a self-exploration that works to eliminate his personal struggle with self-condemning thoughts. With numerous solo projects under his belt, along with various collaboration albums, including Kings of Tragedy with Wonder Brown and Black Guy Meets White Man with now CMR Recording Artist k-Drama, it comes as sort of a surprise that Till would still have such a struggle with his self-confidence. The man has been bringing it since the late 90’s and is still relevant in the underground Christian Rap arena, so the self-doubt doesn’t really seem to fit the picture. With A Beautiful Break, Till provides a look into these past doubts and how he has successfully defeated them as he moves forward with his ministry.

A self-proclaimed backpack rapper, MC (Till) does a solid job keeping this album moving with a bouncy collection of instrumentals that allows the project to move along smoothly with the spoken transitional interludes that link the project together. As an album that sticks to the script of one focused idea, it’s important that it transitions in a way that doesn’t generate listener fatigue, and Till does a good job of avoiding this pitfall. He starts the album with his journey from self-doubt to freedom from self-condemning thoughts, using spoken streams-of-consciousness to convey his own struggles and convictions in a way that is thorough enough to understand yet also brief enough to keep the listener interested. Upon ending his journey with this freedom at “Freedom Song”, he transitions to his analysis of the Western Church, which is also carried along by solid backpacker production and spoken interludes to explain his motives. Essentially, MC (Till) took a concept that had a lot of potential to flop as an album and turned it into a solid project that conveys his personal convictions very clearly.

As mentioned earlier, MC (Till)’s well-practiced backpacker boom bap rings true throughout the project, enabling his confrontation of self-doubt and examination of the Western Church to mesh into one well-organized concept. Had this album been tackled by an unpracticed emcee, the finished product would’ve most certainly lacked the level of professional quality that MC (Till) brought to the table. From solid beats to the clean flow that he pours over them, Till’s final product is very well put together and meant to be absorbed as one piece, not as a collection of individual tracks.

Despite the album’s neat overall fit-and-finish, there are still a few pitfalls that A Beautiful Break couldn’t seem to avoid. Although the spoken transitions and interludes added a level of sincerity to the album that helped to clarify Till’s motives on the project, they couldn’t help but come across as a little (struggling to find the word) corny? Also, as many albums that flow as one concurrent project, A Beautiful Break lacks any standout hits that would bring the album a large amount of publicity among fans of the genre. However, as Till believes on the album, focusing on the negatives is counterproductive, which makes this portion of the review seem a little superfluous.

From self-doubt to a freeing self-confidence, MC (Till)’s A Beautiful Break is a very relatable album that not only chronicles the escape from self-condemning thoughts, but also analyzes the importance of having a solid relationship with Christ outside of the physical structure of a Church. Although many may misinterpret Till’s message on the utility of the Church, listening carefully to the words of “the bridge” will help the listener understand where he is coming from. If not a collection of new hits, A Beautiful Break is still an interesting listen worth lending an ear to.

J Kwest a Featured Blogger on Kidult Website
» ‎ Sphere of Hip Hop

This week began what hopes to be a long relationship between J.Kwest and Pharrell Williams, founder and brainchild behind the website Kidult.com. K!dult is a website completely dedicated to young adults, filtering the news through a youth lens. The site recently announced that it will feature the perspective of Julian “J.Kwest” DeShazier, a minister, community organizer, and scholar in youth studies. Beginning today, Kidult.com will feature his regular perspective in a blog entitled, “Pursue the Pure.”

“My hope is to present a different perspective of youth life,” says the Chicago-bred musician. “Our generation is known for greed, corruption, and individualism, but there is an existential struggle in our young people as well. It’s a spiritual struggle, and I hope the blog will help us all as we seek change together.” J.Kwest’s blog is equally as innovative as K!dult itself, whereas few websites are situated to empower youth and courageous enough to integrate a spiritual perspective.

This also highlights a growing relationship between media and the inspirational hip-hop community. Recent album releases by Christian artists have helped increase visibility of the genre, and J.Kwest – who is a Holy Hip Hop Award winner – will continue in these efforts.

J.Kwest and the PureMusic Nation has already been featured at the National Hip Hop Political Convention, The Children’s Defense Fund, and Dr. Maya Angelou’s XM satellite program. While having completed degrees at Morehouse College and the University of Chicago Divinity School, J.Kwest is preparing to release, Batman & Batman, a collaboration project with BreevEazie, a fellow PureMusic artist, in the fall.

Urban D. Profiled and Detained in Customs/Immigration in UK
» ‎ Sphere of Hip Hop

The recent UK Tour for Urban D. almost didn’t happen. He was profiled upon entering the country and spent more than 6 hours in their detainment area where he was fingerprinted, photographed and interrogated. No phone calls allowed. Even after they found out he was legit, there was still issues as he was entering the country to do ministry… so a word to any artists traveling to the UK or any other country – make sure you have an official invite letter from the organization bringing you, that you register with the US Embassy (it’s free) and you check on what your Visa status needs to be when entering that country. They recently changed policy in the UK to where you now need a temporary work visa if you are entering as an artist.

It was a miracle that he was still allowed to enter and do the tour – to hear all the details about the detainment and the great ministry that happened there and throughout the tour check out Urban D’s blog “Detained But Not Deterred” at www.urband.org. Urban D. just returned from Japan where he had an incredible weekend of ministry, had all the correct paperwork and wasn’t profiled or detained – lol!

Seeking to fill a musical void, the creative forces at Much Luvv Records have crafted Luvv to Dance – a 20 track “techno rap” dance album that features over 50 Christian hip hop and rock artists dropping street verses on top of club-friendly beats and hooks. “We know we’re not the first to do it, but the pop/dance/rap subgenre is still not very established within our market,” Much Luvv Records CEO Bobby “Tre9” Herring said. “Our aim with this project is to penetrate the hearts of kids and young adults who really vibe to that type of music. If you turn on the radio or MTV you’ll see that this is the style that dominates. Go to any church in the suburb and, unfortunately, you’ll see it’s not much different. So why not use that to our advantage to spread the gospel?”

Many people that heard the songs, “I Hate You” and “Picture on a Shirt” from Thisl’s “Chronicles of an X Hustler”, had similar words, “This sounds like a movie soundtrack.” Someone else also felt that way after witnessing Thisl’s performance at “The Urban Missionary Tour” in Seattle, and that was independent filmmaker Chris Corey the director/producer of “Hollow.”

Darwin Hobbs Rushed to Hospital

Darwin Hobbs

*Gospel artist Darwin Hobbs has been hospitalized in Atlanta due to large blood clots in his lungs. He
recently underwent a lap band surgery, which according to reports went
well.

Hobbs has lost quite a bit of weight, but is still working to reach his weight loss goal, according to publicist
Gwendolyn Quinn.

His wife, Traci Hobbs, says the doctors are keeping him in the hospital due to the recent surgery, but the family
is looking forward to his release soon.

“Darwin is stable and they have started him on the blood thinners for the blood clots,” said Traci. “Please
continue to keep Darwin lifted up in prayer. We’re believing God that
the blood thinners will work and dissolve the blood clots.”

Hobbs has been busy promoting his new project, “Champion,” which was released in June. He was on his way to a radio event in Indianapolis
when he was diverted to the hospital by his doctor because Hobbs was
having trouble breathing.

A Lesson From My Little Boy
» ‎ Viktory Urban News

"Therefore be imitators (followers) of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma." -Ephesians 5:1-2

Last night I was pondering in my heart my 15-month-old son Jeremiah. He is in the developmental stage in life where he needs to be close to me all the time. Some people say he is spoiled, because everywhere I go he follows. Sometimes he actually holds on to my skirt to make sure I don't get too far away from him. Jeremiah is so close to me at times that I trip over him or step on his toe, not realizing that he is right under me. He cries when I leave his presence even for a minute, even when his dad is in the room. When his father and I say words, he tries to repeat them, although unsuccessfully at times. Those of you who have children may know what I am talking about. Children imitate their parents- for better or worse. My son not only imitates, but follows me everywhere I go- even to the bathroom.

Well, last night when I was half asleep (or fully- I can't really tell), I thought about this constant scenario of my little son. Then the verse of scripture entered my mind "Be followers of God as dear children...". It didn't take a whole lot of deep prayer to hear what God was saying here. God was using my son's example to show me how He wanted me to follow Him. What a beautiful example it was.

I must confess that, although I love my little boy to the point of heartache, sometimes it's hard having him up under me around the clock during the day (I'm a teacher so I am currently home for the summer). I'm afraid that he will get hurt, for example, while I am cooking at the stove, or cleaning with cleaning agents for moving furniture. And sometimes I just need a little "me" space. But God is NOT LIKE THAT. He wants His children up under Him 24/7! God wants us to cling to the hem of His robe and follow Him around wherever He goes. God does not need "me" space. And there is no danger in becoming "spoiled" with God's love- because His love always creates the best in us instead of the worst. The kind of fellowship that the Lord Jesus Christ desires from us is a close, intimate, never-ending fellowship.

Unlike people, God never grows tired of being around His children (ouch! I need to say that again!)- UNLIKE PEOPLE (YOU AND I) GOD DOES NOT EVER GROW TIRED OF BEING AROUND HIS CHILDREN! Likewise, when you have a taste of God's presence, trust me, you will never get tired of it. "O taste and see that the Lord is good, blessed is the man that takes refuge in Him" (Psalm 34:8). He's been dealing with me about spending more time with Him- to be consistent about it; and to stop making excuses about having to clean or care for children or handle business or sleep (or watch Maury-tee hee hee:).

Some time today I invite you to check out Ephesians 5:1 and meditate on it. By becoming a follower of God (some translations say follower, while others say imitator) you learn how be like Jesus Christ. You learn how to walk in love, how to overcome strongholds, how to defeat temptation and sin, and you understand life from God's point of view. You learn how to live sacrificially as Christ did in His earthly ministry. Verse 1 in Ephesians 5 also says that "Christ...gave up Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma." In other words Christ's sacrifice for us in God's eyes quenched the stench of sin and became a beautiful smell in the nose of God. Likewise, we are to live our lives sacrificially, "presenting our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God, which is our reasonable service." (Romans 12:1) When we become followers/imitators of God, we too become a sweet-smelling aroma in the nose of the Father! I thank God for teaching me this lesson from my little boy.
