25 Joints to get U Through Tha Day #17 :The Spectra of Music
This week we come with a whole lot of goodies guaranteed to stimulate your dome. We urge you to get w/ Toki Wright out of Minneapolis and down with the Rhymesayers camp. His new album Different Mirrors is being slept on. The man has skillz, intellect and according to many of my women friends, good looks. More importantly the man is down for the community. He’s always out and about schooling the younstas. His music reflects his love for the people..The joint we picked features Scarub from Living Legends and together the pair wreck shop.
Lyrics Born on the cut revolution and how she gets down with the folks from Crown City Rockers. As Biggie used to say.. If ya don’t know now ya know..
Aima the Dreamer
Aima the Dreamer is an Oakland born female emcee who has been turning heads. People are seriously checking for her as she has been popping up in lot of places letting everyone know that don’t have to look too far for this elusive specimen (women) in Hip Hop. Other emcees are wishing she wasn’t too easy to find, cause she’s a hard act to follow once she blesses the mic. If you don’t believe me. Peep out how she exchanges flows with
Two other stand out tracks on this weeks 25 Joints come from JenRO who hails from San Francisco. She comes with heat as her conscious raising song starts off and ends with a skillfully woven clips from Martin Luther King. JenRo matches his words with her own choice lyrics that talk about the importance of being free of oppression.. Really dope song from another overlooked emcee. It’s off the album ‘My World’ .
People are buzzing about Chihualt Ce a Chicana emcee from Los Angles who many first got hipped to when she appeared on the Peace and Dignity album. Her song the Dreamah is incredible and has become an anthem of sorts for a whole lot of folks both male and female.. She has a mix tape out you may wanna cop especially if your in LA..
Since I been highlighting women this week..it would be wrong not to shout out Rita J who pays tribute to female emcees on her song Body Rock I haven’t fully peeped the entire album, Artist Workshop but from what I heard thus far I likes very much.. I think you will as well
