2015 is one crazy ass year; with so much going on in society, politics and the environment, it helps to pause for a second to get a clearer picture of things.. this theme is in light of what most artists I know of who really have interesting things to say when they want you to stop look and listen.. I feel that for any music genre, hip hop is the voice of my generation- born in 83, have been a fan of a lot of different musical art-forms, but hip hop just seems to connect with the world and make sense out of the senseless in the deepest and most unique ways.. But there seems to be a big difference as to what I listen to and the majority of what’s commercialized since it's materialized which is disgraceful to this culture that has so many meaningful messages in its music.. Stop look & listen for yourselves and you might just see what I'm talking about, but if not, whatever, it's just a smidgen of scratching the surface.. I made this mix partly out of spite for my experiences DJing in Paris for these international hostel youngsters who usually made the scene sour every time i didn't play beyoncé or any other top 40 hit they didn't know by heart since the past 5 years.. these young bucks coming up asking to plug in their ipods and shit, what happened to the messages in the music, even a lil bit? There's meaningful music to dance to also, not just what's on the radio! I wasn't anything special with my amateur skills, but still.. Hard to appeal to these kids who can only dance to a beat if it's over 120bps... but i digress... So to them and anyone else, I got love for y'all know matter what, I just wish y'all would keep your minds open as much as possible, for this is just another monkey mix experiment! Broadcasting from live from La Ciotat!! much love to my old home in pAris- I left a piece of my heart in the 14émé for you to keep..
