RASHIDI OMARI- A REAL FREEDOM FIGHTER

This cat was one of the first MC'S in Oak-Town that I ever collaborated with. My homie DJ TREATUNICE linked us up and I would hop on sets with their original rap crew COMPANY OF PROPHETS. Later on He became the lead MC in the UNSMOKABLES crew so we would also rock shows as that formation. Not only is this cat a very talented MC, he is also an amazing dancer. This is a song from his solo album that I am actually featured on. Listen close to the lyrics. He keeps it real and conscious wich is a necessity to counter-act the vast majority of BS lyrics out in todays hip-hop industry. For more info on SHIDI and what he is doing check out his myspace.

UNSMOKABLES FEATURING THE NAPALM CLIQUE AT 2232

This was a dope show. You can kind of understand what I'm saying. It's all free-flow. I think you can all clearly feel the energy. My home girl Bo is smashing it, and so is FLO. This was filmed at a venue called 2232 which no longer exists. Of course we are being backed by the Unsmokables band which is also now classified non existent. Arlen Hart on keys, Raul on base and Quick on drums. Those were fun times.

ARLEN HART

ARLEN HART is the original pianist of the UNSMOKABLES. He also backs the NAPALM CLIQUE when we do our live sets. You may recognize him as the second half of TOBY DICK, and you will also see him soon working with original UNSMOKABLES lead singer BO CHAN.

JAH-EYE AND THE UNITY WORKS MOVEMENT

Jah-Eye


Peace folks. I would like to take a moment to introduce you to my father JAH-EYE. He is a master artist, song writer poet and musician. While championing the cause of Black liberation, JAH-EYE'S message is also one of universal freedom for all who are oppressed by corrupt governments, as well as a return to a more natural and humane lifestyle in these times of global warming and relentless war. Jah Eye has recorded two CD's to date. ISIGHT, recorded in 2003 was the first CD on the Unity Works label. The follow up; WORLD WIDE DECEPTION was recorded in 2004. Both CD's deal with spiritual, social and political current events (911, the war in Iraq, greed and materialism etc.) while at the same time maintaining a strong vibration of Love and Rastafari.

Currently JAH-EYE is working on several new projects including his third CD entitled RASTA MUSIC which will feature legendary reggae artists such as U Roy and Earl "China" Smith.

DRUM CIRCLE AT STREET ACADEMY

(Photo of Ali)

Yesterday we had a drum circle at a high school that I teach at in Oakland called STREET ACADEMY! The circle kept about five people playing consistently at a time, and the energy was very good. Manny student's passed through and beat the drums with us. Some student's like Marco, Ali and Tao got deep into it and stayed in the circle for a very long time. Others would come pick up a drum for a short while just to feel it out for the first time or leave their mark in the groove. We even had a young lady from the girls rigor room come and join us for a bit. Over all, the circle was a big success and is something that we all agreed would be fun to do at least once a month. Here are a few images I shot with my camera phone.
Peace-

URBAN PROMISE ACADEMY

In the Fall of 2000, I moved to the Bay Area were I completed my Bachelors degree in Fine Arts at the California College of the Arts, and the teachers credentialing program for single subject art at Mills College. For the last ten years, I have taught in schools and community centers across the Bay Area and on the island of Guam, where the Guam Legislature in 2005 awarded me a Resolution for my contribution to students’ lives. I am currently continuing at Mills College for a Masters Degree in Education.

One of the schools I teach at is a Jr. High called URBAN PROMISE ACADEMY, or UPA for short. They recently had an opportunity to be featured on the TODAY SHOW (clique the title of this blog post to check it out)! I run a class called BEATS AND RHYMES through the after school program called OAKLAND LEAF. My students view themselves as the future of this movement called Hip-Hop. I can sincerely say that they make some of the most slapping music that I have heard come out of these bay area schools. I will be posting their first album and their latest album that is currently in the works at some point later this year. Stay tuned in. For now, enjoy this live performance of them rocking their winter assembly!
