Hi y’all. Thanks for the comments! Here are some thoughts in response:

-Jennifer: there definitely is a blurring of the lines between corporate & countercultural these days. Corporations are actively trying to market “counterculture” which is kind of hilarious when you think about it…but is nothing new when you look back to the 60s & 70s. I think artists need to be smart about both their creative & commercial endeavours or we will just be singing into the wind. If you can make good music & make money I say go for it!

-Audbot: HA, ha, thanks for the shout-out! Here’s a link to Soulfege & some of our videos.

-Jai: Word life. And that change is speaking to us in a thousand different languages across the globe…

-Robbie: Thanks, glad you dug the line. But I think you slightly misread. “I” wrote that line about how US Hip Hop is impacting my peers back home in W. AFrica. That track features some phenomenal artists and will drop this Fall along w/ a series of collabs from MCs overseas and some heads you know from over here. Stay tuned for the science on that project…

-Felafe: Welcome aboard! If you want to get down w/ our movement to change pop-culture check out the Sweet Mother Tour. It’s a collab between cats in US, AFrica, Caribbean & Europe to flip the script on how the media depicts global youth culture.

-Rufanna: New sounds, new sights, new flavas all around. WME & Greenpeace have just launched a new project to amplify the voices of powerful artists who are putting a new spirit into that “Shift.” Peep the [http://www.weaponsofme.com]announcement[/url].

That’s all for now. Stay up and stay strong folks. We are just gettin’ started…

Peace & AFrobeats,
D.N.A
