This is a celebratory project in acknowledging 10 years of doing these music mixes, or tapestries of truth-infused music as I like to put it.. This is also a tribute to those who are no longer here.. this project was inspired and propelled by the conviction provoked from the group Zion I, who lost Baba Zumbi, the emcee, last year.. if you notice a particular melody woven throughout this mix, it's only thanx to this group, altho it's dj amp live that mashed all that up which still gives me goosebumps after almost 20yrs. There are albums that people listen to that can be a game changer and their golden album 'Mind Over Matter' was one of them for me. i admit it, i didn't have many love relationships when growing up, altho i had music to romance learn, and groove to.. i collected hiphop like kids did baseball cards and listened to much of it "religiously" while going thru life, playing video games, traveling, etc. I had to have music on more times than not.. i wanted to make mixes like this for ages, yet i felt the quickening with so many other issues that are more pertinent.. i can't lose sight of the beauty of this art-form tho, and as you've possibly seen throughout the years, this channel doesn't compromise to bullshit or topics of discussion rapped about which aren't of much value.. The Word Sound Power broadcasted here is also meant to cut thru all the base-level consciousness miasma that distracts & keeps people from reaching higher states of awareness & frequency. Hip Hop has a very special place in my heart that no other musical genre can touch- it's just like that for me and i respect virtually all forms of music (that isn't wack ;)... The reason this channel exists is because I have an affinity for this medium of conscious expression that is very powerful in many ways. Hip Hop was always there for me along so many travels i've had in this lifetime. Hip Hop was there for me on my darkest days, it's always been comforting during moments
