DJ SAYEED

BLACK FREEDOM MIXTAPE VOL. 11



This week it's time to give our boy from VA's, WVST DJ Sayeed some good hype with his latest mix cd, "Black Freedom Mixtape Volume II."



What can I say about the "Black Freedom Mixtape?" I can't say much without speaking on Black Freedom Weekend, or Happily Natural Day because they are all part of a cohesive campaign to promote black pride, love for self and social change.



I asked DJ Sayeed to give me a summary on what this mix cd means to him.



"'The Black Freedom Mixtape Vol. 2,' is a mix cd; one part of the promotional campaign for the pro-african grassroots festival Happily Natural Day. Every year the festival takes place in Richmond VA with an weekend of events that promote black consciousness and community pride and social change. The mixtape picks up where Vol.1 left off, with the passionate mission statement of Happily Natural Day by brother Manifest sliding seamlessly into Concerto in Black Minor by Hip Hop violinist Maat Free.; as her spoken word and violin over beat box call to action sets the tone for the mixtape's hour and 20 minute's it became apparent that I wasn't listening to the average mixtape.



You say it is just a mixtape, but I have to explain something's. First of all there was real scratching from a real DJ. Too many mixtape DJ's simply throw some songs from MP3 and blend them into one another, too few actually can scratch in songs and drops. Any real Hip-Hop head can testify to the importance of the DJ, the turntable and a mixer; as well the artistry that can be infused into a musical production with them. Second of all, the songs on the mixtape were all from artists that either were affiliated with the festival as performers or had similar messages of black empowerment and disdain for the current state of the black community and the need for change. Third, the mixtape was excellently produced as in each song was chosen and placed in an order that makes the Black Freedom Mixtape better than most albums.



Songs like, "Ya'll Should All Be Lynched" by NYOIL were followed by Pain a classic spoken word poem by the Hip-Hop fore-runners the Watts Prophets was blended into unreleased song Pain by Pharoah Monche. As the headline act of Happily Natural Day 2007, Scienz of Life's own John Robinson (aka lil Sci) graced the album with powerful cuts like "More Music" with lines like "I gotta succeed the future looks up to me", & "All Behind Me". Poignant questions were raised by Doug Evan's of Soul Logistics with lines like "Why black folks been paying tithes for years? Still don't gotta pot to piss in; congregation won't listen" and "The jig is up time up the garment/ better read for your salvation; the keys you education/ my people perish for a lack of knowledge and not college/you put your own self in bondage." The socially responsible lyrical content of the Black Freedom Mixtape glistened brightly; and is a must for any Hip-Hop critic stating that Hip Hop is dead, or that the culture is the reason behind the decadence of the black community today.



The musical genius of J-Dilla "Love Jones" laid as the foundation of ?uestlove of the Roots statement at Jamestown's 400 year Anniversary; an event that drew the attention of thousands of bloggers and Okayplayers in 2007. Classic new material from Wise Intelligent "I'm Him" smacks listeners with lines like "I from the era where G was for God and a cypha was a circle full of Godz addin on" that blends into Chairman Omowali (Malcolm X) speaking on how the roots of hatred for african people lie in our hatred of our origin and how our brainwashing is a result of 400 years of miseducation. Lastly the self-proclaimed mayor Of DC Head-Roc's song, "Cris Columbus" leads the listener into the roots of conscious Hip-Hop with songs by Jungle Brothers, Lakim Shabazz, X-Clan, BDP and Intelligent Hoodlum!! When was the last time you heard You must learn blended into "Funkin Lesson?" WTF !@!!...



The album closes out with words by founder; giving the listener even more chills as he says "Happily Natural Day is an example of what people can do when they work together...When they say that it aint about me it is about us...We have to change the reality of the children that are coming up after us...What kind of mental entrapment is it when a black child will pick a white doll over a black doll?..." The explicit purpose of the mixtape was to let people know what Happily Natural Day is about. No cotton candy rappin, finger snappin, tom coonery buffoonery - straight real hip hop with a message.



"The Black Freedom Mixtape Vol. II" is a powerful testament to the power of Hip Hop to raise consciousness. What makes it even more dope is that it is part of a larger movement to raise consciousness in the African Community via a festival that is totally grassroots and funded by black people for black people extending it beyond simply another musical production. Hip Hop is alive and well, lamping with it's feet up in the Black Freedom Mixtape Vol. 2."



I gotta give props to DJ Sayeed & 2 thumbs up with his "Black Freedom Mixtape Volume II."

Review - "Soul Logistics Radio":
We don't get a lot of mixtapes these days. And to be completely honest with you, I think I know why. Mixtapes are very difficult to make well. In most situations, you have a bunch of producers handling the bulk of the beatmaking, and like twenty emcees taking turns flowing over the various tracks. This often causes a lack of consistency and continuity within an album because either:

A.) the producers try too hard to make individual tracks to fit the vocal talents of each of the featured emcees, thus succeeding only in creating a jumbled mess of music, or

B.) the producers stick to their own creative directions, and only a couple of the emcees end up sounding good over beats they have had little to no creative input with.

However, every once in a while, I'll come across a mixtape that seems to do both successfully. Doug Evan's "Soul Logistics Radio" is the most recent example. This album experiments with a wide range of production, handled by maybe ten individual producers, yet maintains a great sense of continuity. It also features many different emcees, most wielding their own individual styles and flows, yet all seem to fit near-perfectly with the song on which they've been featured. And as I mentioned earlier, that's difficult to do well in most any scenario.

The Soul Logistics crew does a great job creating a twenty-plus track album that, while consisting of a countless number of individual artists, still manages to push a similar direction and stance to the listener. The sounds range from old-school to overwhelmingly soulful, and provide a great example of what can be done with a mixture of hip-hop, soul and R&B elements.

"Soul Logistics Radio" is an enjoyable listen that definitely raises an eyebrow or two, and should serve as an effective prelude to the solo projects of all artists involved. I recommend checking it out. Peace.

Good Message
I think the lyrics are inspirational. I like the message recieved from the first verse. I think the delivery of the second verse could have more feeling. The production gives me relaxed vibe to the track. Not my personal preference of a beat but I'm not mad at it. Overall good stuff.

Coulda swore I was listening to a Premier, Large Professor, or Pete Rock cut! The production is damn near flawless, from the soul sample to the cuts.

The first emcee really shines on this track. His voice is memorable and powerful.

Second emcee has too much of an unorthodox flow for me, but still dope. Reminiscent of RZA.

One of my favorite tracks so far on Garageband.

Soul Logistics are a hip-hop coalition out of Virginia founded by Doug Evans, who some may remember as a member of the group Bu Bonic Plague. Evans is about to stir things up just a bit more with Soul Logistic Radio, which is one-part mix tape, one part compilation. Subtitled Giving Inspiration Plus Information. They say they want to "bring back substance and creativity back to the music world". Not just hip-hop, but the music world. Do they do this? Indeed.

One common theme running in and out of the tracks is the fight against ethnic and social injustice, or simply wanting respect without going through the stereotypical loopholes that were in existence for centuries long before any of us were born. You'll hear this in tracks such as "Take A Chance", "Ghetto's Lost", and "Give Peace A Chance". What you'll also hear is a nice blend of hip-hop and soul, and neither is watered down. A lot of times you'll hear rappers trying to crossover a bit with singers who can't sing, and it fails miserably. With this group, they cover both sides equally with the kind of attention to detail that one would be able to detect on similar projects of the past.

The only song that I didn't quite get into was "Power Of Word", vocalized by someone who goes by the name of Human. The song is about the power of words, and yet the pace seems to stutter a bit, and fails in its effectiveness. The album closer, "Tha Cronkite!!!", which features Doug Evans along with Link Haze and Spec, establishes what this crew is about, but I would have preferred a better vocal mix. A better final mix could turn it into something with a much bigger impact.

Soul Logistic describes a collective and perhaps a mindstate, and a necessary revision of what hip-hop has become.

This guy sounds great on the Production this sounds like some De La Soul. The vocals are done great. This takes you back in the day to the 90s when rap was so cool. this is a great song.

EVERYBODY! PLEASE REPOST THIS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN! THIS IS SERIOUS!






AFRIKA BAMBAATA & THE ZULU NATION

10 POINT MEDIA REFORM PLATFORM

We the people of the planet Earth want:


1.

A balance on the airwaves of old school, new school and contemporary music.


2.

More variety of musical genres, artists and content on the radio stations.


3.

Radio station directors, programmers and D-Jays to be held accountable for what is played on their radio stations.


4.

The FCC to do more to regulate the radio stations which continue to play negative songs with violent/sexual content during times when children and minors are most likely to be listening---daytime, before and after school.


5.

Radio stations to reflect more diverse cultural and political views of the community and not the commercial interests of the big multi-media corporations.


6.

A certain amount of time dedicated to local news, important events, issues and concerns that affect the communities in which the radio stations are supposed to serve.


7.

A certain amount of time dedicated to local artists who put out quality music in their regions.


8.

A break-up of the monopoly of the air wave band frequencies- No big corporation should be allowed to own/control several different radio stations under different names.


9.

A balance on the video stations---more positive images of women and the urban experience which are free of the stereotypical images that assault the minds of our youth.


10.

Use the radio, video and any other form of communication to educate, enlighten and entertain and not to control, exploit and manipulate the masses.

Reviews of games people play { part 1 } by Doug Evans



...
Very first thought at the end of the first listening: "Amen"

Well done. The sound is great, very clean, balanced. I dig the piano loop.

Please, tell that kid I said he (she?) did an awesome job with the opening dictionary definition. Very well spoken, clear and articulate. I note this because I have recorded with children and they often trail off and start mumbling. This kid got it perfect.

The rest, the story being told, is also quite well done. The music gives a creeping, incremental feel, moving along like the story itself progresses - inch by nervous inch. The voice is beautiful, strong, angry, each word a precise jab.

The lyrics... Was it really a man who wrote this? A man who recognizes his hypocrisy in the game when he decides to call the other out? huh. Remarkable.

I easily imagined a video for this while it played. The ending spinning out of control, the cherries flashing through the window in the dark as he stands there. Waiting to face it like a man.

Smooth. Sad. Real.

tracklisting
1. Gift Of Gab (God's Gift) feat. DJ Tomahawk; 2. Soul Cinema; 3. The Enlighten Rapper; 4. Gift Of Gab (instrumental); 5. bonus beat (instrumental)
Take an emcee from Virgina, a producer from Poland, a DJ from Sweden and you got? A perfect record. Yes, perfect. As perfect as something subject to choice, taste and opinion can be. But to put it shortly and in plain language: this is excellent. Doug Evans' verses on the three tracks are as much conscious, as they got humor, as he has the right voice, as he sounds comfortable behind the mic. And Szymon Zurn who did the beats hooks up three tracks that go from the bouncy to the jazzy to the smooth with ease and to great success.
But going beyond this short summery, the taster starts out with "Gift Of Gab (God's Gift)" where Doug speaks on all those thugs that mainly spoil our children and speak from a fantasy world, the great majority can not relate to. But this hustler and player criticizing does not sound tiring, as Doug finds a few good spots to point out, and he lands a couple of well placed punches. But he also throws in the punchline and the supporting verse here and there. The beat features a dope horn section and is uplifting as well as pure head nod material. And DJ Thomahawk adds his scratching to make this a completely rounded song.




Next up is "Soul Cinema", where the beat gets more humble, with a rolling bassline and a playing along flute. At times there's an orchestra that chimes in, while Doug spits more reflective verses. This time he's mainly portraying himself at first, to then also get some blows out against the fake and phony. What then leaves us with track three that's called "The Enlighten Rapper". Here the Szymon beat is absolutely incredible. The sample might just be looped, but the smoothness is just of other world proportions. Doug uses this to state critical rhymes about education, bringing up kids, the church. However only for one verse, as he then uses a big part of a speech given by Louis Farrakhan at The East Coast Hip Hop Summit. And the message is good and fitting the vibe. That is only furthered by this part, as the many gaps of his speech allow us to listen to the beat even closer and being even more in awe, despite the simpleness. And so we are desperate for an instrumental version, but instead we give an extra untitled beat, that however is also very good, and more to the bouncy, with a hurn pushing the slight choppyness.
So you need to hear these tracks. And it's a sign of the ridiculousness of the industry, that Doug offers them for free on his IUMA website (click here), while you need to shell out big and real money for all those crap releases.
