NEW MUSIC! From @NATIVESUNMUZIK based in the UK »> this joint called “Gallery of Dreams” showcases the soulful Afro-beat flavorings of the Hip-Hop duo. It is the second single off of their recent album INDIGENOUS SOUNDWAVES, chalked full of inspiration for the mind, body and spirit.

Mohammed Yahya, whom I met during my time in London, is highly respected for his lyrical wisdom and bilingual flows. In the chorus of the song, Sarina Leah sings “As butterflies carrying the dreams on wings from dust to sky. Mind open wide. Sunlight reveals the light inside. Hope is near when you dream, you can touch it with your fingers, its closer than it seems,” with her rustic, uplifting voice.

ENJOY! & Stay connected with Native Sun! »>

BLAZE UP A FIRE by Speech Debelle

New music from the UK… FREE download of Speech Debelle’s new track “Blaze Up A Fire” feat. Roots Manuva and Realism 

 I feel [this song] could give insight into the hearts and minds of some of the people that have taken part in, not only the peaceful marches for Mark Duggan in Tottenham and the Smiley Culture march for justice, but also I believe it speaks of the frustration of many young people who took part in the rioting and the consequent looting over London and areas of the UK. I am not attempting to condone, I’m attempting to be a voice of understanding.

// When a people fail to initiate it’s youth in to their community, those children will burn that community to the ground just to feel it’s warmth. //// As MPs exploit popular reactionary opinion, we must remind ourselves that desires to tackle root causes of civil unrest do NOT equate justification of malicious behaviour. Generations continue to be looted of hope. For as long as activities deteriorate & tensions with the police remain unresolved, civil unrest and frustration will mount. We must invest in our communities social health & improve prospects for the next.
