JDA Cut (Universal Zulu Nation/Sensei.FM/Itch FM Elder) & TJ Chill (Universal Zulu Nation/Kaos Crew/SenseiFM/Itch FM Elder)

TJ Chill is a familiar face on the Hip Hop scene in his Zulu Nation capacity and presented the Zulu Nation Rap Show on Itch FM which promoted and broke other UK artists. He was a co-founder of Sensei FM and in 2012 he hosted the first ever UK Hip Hop Honours Awards.

He’s back to MC-ing and this 14 track album with its loose homage to screen icon Al Pacino (where each track contains a subtle reference to Mr Pacino or one of his films), displays a variety of Hip Hop styles from funk to hardcore to classical to freestyle to soulful.

TJ Chill on the album ‘Cool Like Pacino’: “It was built to be an album experience in the way that Led Zeppelin used to do it back in the day. I was also aiming to make it the best debut album since Definitely Maybe! Although I am 100% Hip Hop, I have a very punk approach which was there even from my earliest KAOS Krew days. It has to be funky, it has to be loud and it has to have attitude and I think all of that can be said about this album”

KAOS KREW - NEXT VERSION
in 1998 the KAOS KREW (TJ CHILL, JONIE D and PEEKABOO) re-entered the studio after a considerable hiatus and released the hardcore radio single NEXT VERSION.

Unstoppable - A Feature Length Documentary About The Roots of Hip Hop in London


Hip Hop landed in the UK in the 80s conquering young minds and souls. From Bboying to Djing, from Graffiti to Rapping, imitating what was coming from the US was part of a path towards understanding the complexity of these new cultural expressions. Soon the 4 elements had to adapt to the cultural traditions as well as to the social and political conditions of the specific texture on which they were developing, creating a local and unique scene. The difficulties of everyday life in London during those times were such that Hip Hop was soon embraced by the youth as a way to express their identity and, at the same time, as a form of rebellion against social marginalization. Conscious or unconscious, cultural resistance is what that generation was expressing thought their words and bodies and through musical and visual images. These elements started to undermine the urban surface, having their epicentre in the Covent Garden area, getting first noticed by independent record labels that started publishing the powerful sound, lyrics and style of the London scene.

About the Film Makers:
"First of all we are Hip Hop lovers. Hip Hop brought us together as a crew, Hip Hop gave us the topic for this documentary and Hip Hop will make all of this happen.  
We are an international crew of professionals mainly working in the film industry ready to invest all of ourselves in this exciting new project. Some of us have been knowing each others for years, some of us just met. We gathered as a team for the first time in December 2012, when Lidia (director), Giuseppe aka u.net (author), Viola (producer), Vanina (sound recordist) and Claudia (researcher) traveled to London for the 4our Pillars event at the Underdog Gallery. Here the encounter with Nicola (producer), Hannah (assistant producer) and then with Anna (community manager) completed the creation of this young and enthusiastic team. A collaboration between Woka from Rome and 11 Little Films from London was agreed, and this led to the shooting of the very first interviews in December when we met Mc Mello, Rodney P and Myster MC, Cheeko and Dirty Harry from the Family Quest crew. Then we met Logic in January, to check out what a representative from the younger generations of mcs thinks, while in March we had a second intense session. We had the opportunity of interviewing  Fresh Ski, DJ Fingers and Yankee, and we had the massive honour to host a round table with Mc Mello, Ameena, Pride and Alex Mac. It ended up in a 7-hour-long intense sunday afternoon with loads of experiences and deep thougths shared and discussed.  
We already have two other sessions scheduled, one at the beginning of June and a second one in August. 
In June we'll be attending the 4our Pillars event on friday the 7th and go on with our meetings and interviews. In August we'll shoot the core of the documentary: all the remaining interviews we need, and all the cool shots of London that, along with the archive footage we are gathering, will support the documentary's narrative. 
So, keep yourself updated on the development of Unstoppable, and find out more on the roots of Hip Hop in UK!

The Return of The Get Open Crew!


The Return of The Get Open Crew!
Indiegogo Project: http://bit.ly/1av9Wqt

The Hip-Hop group Get Open is back in the studio after a 10+ year hiatus. We're preparing a new mixtape and album entitled "The Week-End".
We need your support to make it a success. This crowd funding campaign will help complement our production budget which includes: Mixing by Ryan West, Mastering @ Masterdisk, Filming 3 videos, Hiring professional P.R. and other promotional companies.
We're trying to give ourselves a chance with our comeback project in an ever so changing music industry.
Thank you for your support!

Get Open

     Do you remember when rappers were praised for unique lyrical content as well as the ability to rock a party and make it jump? If you miss catchy lyrics that are also thought inspiring, Get Open brings back that authentic sound infused with consciousness and true school Hip-Hop essence that was all but lost. While the industrial corporate machine that dominates commercial radio and television is happy with maintaining the status Quo, we have seen the recent demand of die hard fans create a resurgence of thoughtful lyrics with rappers like Kendrick Lamar and Lupe Fiasco. Hip-Hop music has come full circle. The time is now for genuine high quality products to come to light. Music stores have all but disappeared but this affords all of us the power to choose what we believe to be good music for ourselves.
Kiambu, Dimitri, Siba & Von of GET OPEN would like to thank you for your generous contributions which will help make this concept a reality.

Bio

This Hip-Hop collective has been in existence since 1994, Get Open was founded by SibaGiba(Producer/MC) when he was studying music at SUNY Purchase College. He met the other 4 original members in school; Kiambu (MC), VonMeista (MC/Producer), Zook (MC) Los (Spoken Word/MC) and DJ Jes Lover (DJ/Producer).
Get Open has traveled and performed as headliners in Germany and France over the years and has also opened for artists such as KRS 1/BDPDe La SoulJungle BrothersTha Alkoholiks,Special Ed, and many others in the US.
Through a collaboration with composer Saundi Wilson who also attended Purchase, Get Open was featured with the late Jazz Trumpeter Lester Bowie's creation: Hip-Hop Feel-Harmonic orchestra in 1995, which assembled more than 40 musicians and Get Open.
During our senior year, 1996, we released our first 12inch vinyl single.
It caught the attention of West coasts DJs like J.Rocc (Beat Junkies), DJ Numark (Jurassic 5),Truly Odd (Heavyweights, Strong Arm steady), Peanut Butter Wolf (Stones Throw) and T-Lovethe MC and journalist at URB magazine. From that single, Yellow Productions (France) today known for producing Dance/Pop act Bob Sinclar, offered the group an EP deal which went on to sell 5,000 units in Europe without any promo. It featured Sadat X of Brand Nubian.
During this time, Siba was enjoying great success after producing for Everlast's (House of Pain) multi platinum and grammy nominated album "Whitey Ford Sings The Blues". Overtime Records Inc was born and released a solo 12 inch single of VonMeista featuring Sadat X in association with Ozone Music (Co-Flow-El P, Mike Ladd, etc…).
Although still making music seperately, the group has been on a hiatus since 2001.
Siba formed Brüknahm with Mr Saundi Wilson, worked the Jettsonz Productions (Nina Sky, Sean Paul) and in 2009 co-founded a non-profit organization, the Hip-Hop Loves Foundation.

Researcher Richard Sauder discussed the black budget world of super-secret & underground projects, as well as his involvement in the peace movement. He was recently arrested and incarcerated for three months, after he staged a peaceful demonstration at a U.S. Air Force nuclear missile silo in North Dakota, as an act of civil disobedience. "If we want to have a future free of nuclear weapons, and free of the threat of nuclear warfare then we individually need to do something...and I strongly suggest...that that something be creatively non-violent, because it is violence that is dragging us down to mutual ruination," he stated. Sauder cited three religions--Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as a kind of "mind control" which historically have been the source of much violence.

There is a widespread construction program of underground and undersea bases with secret facilities, along with extensive tunneling, he reported. These projects are built with sophisticated technology, and "shadow government" and numerous agencies including the military, and corporations are involved, Sauder detailed. The technology that enables the bases may also be associated with dimensional portals and non-human intelligences, and this is one explanation as to why these projects are kept so secret, he noted.

The concept of a secret space program that runs parallel to NASA was first introduced to Sauder via a telepathic message from Robert Monroe (known for his out-of-body travels) in 1981, he revealed. There are bases on Mars and the moon, and possibly exotic technologies like time travel, bending space-time, and near-light speed travel, kept hidden from the public, Sauder contended. Further, he suggested there are astrological, spiritual, and ceremonial aspects to space travel which also remain clandestine.

Wikipedia -
According to the Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms, a covert operation (also as CoveOps or covert ops) is "an operation that is so planned and executed as to conceal the identity of or permit plausible denial by the sponsor. Covert operations aim to fulfill their mission objectives without any parties knowing who sponsored or carried out the operation. It is normally financed by government revenues but in this age of super-empowered individuals and corporations they could become a common tool of power beyond traditional war and diplomacy.

Under United States law, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) must lead covert operations unless the president finds that another agency should do so and properly informs the congress. Normally, the CIA is the US Government agency legally allowed to carry out covert action.[1] The CIA's authority to conduct covert action comes from the National Security Act of 1947.[2] President Ronald Reagan issued Executive Order 12333 titled in 1984. This order defined covert action as "special activities", both political and military, that the US Government could legally deny. The CIA was also designated as the sole authority under the 1991 Intelligence Authorization Act and in Title 50 of the United States Code Section 413(e).[2][3] The CIA must have a "Presidential Finding" issued by the President of the United States in order to conduct these activities under the Hughes-Ryan amendment to the 1991 Intelligence Authorization Act.[1] These findings are then monitored by the oversight committees in both the US Senate and the House of Representatives.[4] As a result of this framework, the CIA "receives more oversight from the Congress than any other agency in the federal government".[5] The Special Activities Division (SAD) is a division of the CIA's National Clandestine Service, responsible for Covert Action and "Special Activities". These special activities include covert political influence and paramilitary operations. The division is overseen by the United States Secretary of State

Covert operations and clandestine operations are distinct. The Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms, defines "covert operation" as "an operation that is so planned and executed as to conceal the identity of or permit plausible denial by the sponsor. The United States Department of Defense definition has been used by the United States and NATO since World War II.

In a covert operation, the identity of the sponsor is concealed, while in a clandestine operation the operation itself is concealed. Put differently, clandestine means "hidden," while covert means "deniable." The term stealth refers both to a broad set of tactics aimed at providing and preserving the element of surprise and reducing enemy resistance and to a set of technologies (stealth technology) to aid in those tactics.
