🍒🌲Hapi #MoorishAmericanHolyWeek1443MC y’all! 🇲🇦 January 8th – 15th is a national holiday for us, recognized by the House of Representatives at #Georgia in 2014 to read as follows: “Recognizing January 8-15, 2014, as Moorish American Holy Week at the state capitol; and for other purposes. WHEREAS, the Moorish Americans, whose ancient forefathers are the mothers and fathers of the human family, stand in these days as a comity of descendants from the ancient #Moabites and #Canaanites who were permitted by the Old Pharoahs of #Kemet to traverse from East #Africa and later formed kingdoms extending from the northwestern and southwestern shores of Africa and the #Atlantic #Islands onto the present day continental #Americas…”(House Resolution 1203 -1- L 14 LC 104 0002)
~ The Circle 7 Holy Koran is the specific account pertaining the legacy of the Moors in North, South and Central America. With treaties prior to the U.S. existence, the foremothers and forefathers who permitted the British to have their colonies are in debt to this very dey. The U.S. is responsible to keep its word, even those words prior to the treaties. and after their constitution. Their Oath is to guarantee constitutional rights are secure and their word is bond; especially when it is expressed. As measures owed for our courtesy toward the U.S., our collective human right to non-discrimination should be recognized as having been internationally affirmed by the nations , “and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state notwithstanding” per Article 4 of the US Const. ~
~ Man is to be a friend to mankind , and vice versa, bc that is Love. Moors, their vessels, and their property are to be kept safe and sound and ultimately returned to their country. The Moors are to be protected against domestic violence, of which is being inflicted upon them as they are denied several guaranteed rights by the Massachusetts state. A republican form of govt is only secure when the PEOPLE secure its standing, bc a republic is a govt FOR the people BY the people. Securing one’s standing is a human right and cannot be infringed.~
~ The original people are the ones who have the keys . It cannot be extracted nor exchanged, bc it is with us from the time of stardust until that dust is dirt. No man can touch it, not even scientists. These original people include North, South and Central America, and BEYOND. A war APPEARS to be between the North American Republic and everyone else right now, when it is truly between the U.S. republic and their de-facto U.S. extension/corporation. Moors being denied their treaty rights to a Vizeer of their government is not only a criminal act, but begs the question of who the ACTUAL “sovereign citizen” is who goes against their own Oath, labeling others with these terms while simultaneously committing treason against their treaty agreements. The united states republic has agreed to protect Moors by keeping their word in situations like these, just as Moors are protecting constitutional rights FOR ALL when these courts have no authority over human rights, international relations, or its matters. ~
~ An Allodial American citizen is a foreign national to the United States OF America, hence an Al Merican / Al Morrocan / American citizen. international rights are reserved that should not be violated by a state whose business is in commerce, not human affairs. Mutual courtesies are to be exchanged by both ships; the Christians (Modern Europeans / Caucasians) and Moslems (Asiatics/Moors) alike for one another, until either party is in dishonor, of which the corporate united states is guilty of for processing human beings under labels like “black”, “negro”, and “colored” classifications to conceal nationality inheritance of the aborigenes. ~
In an era where everyone is racing to the money bag, Oakland artist Kamaiyah comes from the center of Bay Area chaos, where she highlights the ups and downs of her journey and takes her time on the rise to proving her own success.
She took to the Oakland streets, where the love is extremely real for HipHop culture. People out there will actually purchase music from you off the street to where folks can sell 100K from their trunk easily. But for Kamaiyah, sky is the limit. She continues to push herself past her block, testing her endurance and breaking through street culture norms in ways that most female rap artists require a team for. Some of the most influential people on her art are Missy Elliot, TLC & Aaliyah, whose influences one sees in Kamaiyah’s brand and style of dress.
Her charismatic personality and to-the-point demeanor are refreshing in an industry that is often drowning in fluff. She’s worked with the likes of YG, Drake, and other street disciples that are leading various avenues of rap culture into a new age. Both a producer and songwriter, she is humble enough to admit that there are songs she has done that she doesn’t care for and others that she was shocked to see were so well received. All she knows is the vision she has for herself and the faith that she rides on, which is altogether inspiring. As part of XXL’s 2017 Freshman Class, she mention’s BowWow as a rapper whose lyricism drove her to focus on her pen game. Her first mix tape was gobbled up, with folks loving everything about it. She wanted to make sure that she represented the Bay Area for exactly what it is without any outside influence and really just hopes that listeners will grasp the journey behind her music and what it took to serve people with her final product. You can catch Kamaiyah on YG’s “Why You Always Hatin’” as the song most people know best, but her singles “How Does It Feel”, “Build You Up”, and “I’m On” are cult classics that can be heard amongst her biggest fans.
Overdoz finally releases their long-awaited album “2008”
Overdoz finally drops its album 2008, with fans eagerly awaiting its release since…well, 2008! If you’ve never heard of them, say hello to these West Coast rock stars, whose name rings bells across the land from Dena to South Los Angeles and beyond.
The brothers have been together since day one, chillin’ on avenues and cruising highways most Cali Natives would only pass through. Documenting their journeys in LA, Overdoz takes us back as far as 2008, When Everybody Loved Everybody.
One thing most people don’t know much about is 4711 Expo, the studio where several paths crossed, including the likes of Miguel, ASAP Rocky, Jhene Aiko, Dom Kennedy, the Fistacuffs, THC, and several other aspiring local artists who would collaborate. Folks from every hood would come together in the name of creation where this studio once stood, including Overdoz. It was the block no one would want to walk through at night, with burnt out light posts unworthy of fixing and street-life exchange on every corner.
Today, these old warehouses are barely recognizable, developed into the types of contemporary décor that typically follow gentrification shortly thereafter. Coffee shops and industrial conversions are tucked away on streets where underserved communities of color were once left destitute long after the LA riots had given way to an influx of black wealth amongst the Baldwin Hills, Ladera, Leimert Park, & Crenshaw areas. Although Ujima and Ujamaa principles were reserved amongst several families in the area, others would choose to take their earnings and resources outside of the community, creating an interesting dynamic between rich and poor black families from the hills down to the flat lands. These areas would later face troubles self-sustaining, but the Youth of these local towns would go on to create great art.
2008 is an important project for several reasons. Film director Calmatic has been working with Overdoz for several years, catching controversial footage like Overdoz’s “Rich White Friends” and landmarks that may someday be archived as a blast from the past alongside other monumental black eras, like the times of Black Hollywood in West Adams. These places are important to Los Angeles culture, as they are what make Southern Cali one of the dopest spots across the globe. Of course, such locations would simply be architecture if not for the people who create its diverse artistry, of which Overdoz is a part of.
Their charismatic and quirky humor blends a conscious lyrical wordplay with notes of funk, acid jazz, neo – soul and West Coast HipHop. Someday I imagine them sharing memories as old men in one of these new cafes around here, maybe even some coffee shop that sprouts up near 4711 Expo just for the irony of it.
Delicious Vinyl Records hosted one of the most memorable Labor Day block parties this weekend, inviting some of HipHop Royalty’s finest to grace the stage. Historic West Adams was once the setting of a predominantly Black upper class prior to its impoverished state of being. Stories of Ella Fitzgerald and other Greats of her era would pass through West Adams and have even performed in some of those buildings that are now local shops. Leave it to a classic label like Delicious Vinyl to take it back to the roots and you’ve got a historical lineup on a historical boulevard.
We got a taste of Soulection’sbest on the spins, Joe Kay & Andres Uribe. With an eclectic mix of classic HipHop, Afrobeat, NeoSoul, AfroCaribbean, and Chicano reverb, there was a taste of something for everyone and folks were eating it up like candy! Not that this is a surprise, Seeing that Soulection is one of the best sound collectives around right now.
Blessed with his presence and wise words, Talib Kweli took a moment to honor Steely Dan amidst the loss of the late Walter Becker, who was a musical genius in one of the best bands of all time. Kweli went on to mention the loss of so many Greats in most recent times, also touching upon the condition of the human collective and racism in today’s world. One of the most poignant topics he touched upon was how important it is to come together as humans and celebrate the beauty of diversity in a time where Humanity is threatened by ignorance and a lack of understanding. Kweli tied in the message with songs like his remix of The Beatles’ “Lonely People”closing with some of his classics. The show was outstanding and DJ Spintelectwas phenomenal. The crowd simply couldn’t get enough of the Black Star.
Chop Black came full force with the G – Funk era, representing for the city of Oakland as one half of the WhoRidaz in the West Coast classic “Shot Callin’ & Big Ballin’”. Like other flowers grown from concrete, Chop Black embodies the struggle of survival in the mean streets of Cali and has since stood the test of time.
Illa J was also there in collaboration with the spirit of the Godfather of HipHop J Dilla, keeping to the legacy of his brother’s classic sound with a twist of his own. A pseudo- nostalgia brought Illa J forth with an evolved art form on the Dillasound, whose eternal music is the template for nearly every form of new-age music in the human atmosphere. It just feels good to know there is a piece of Dillastill alive in the form of his blood brother, Illa J.
Tiffany Gouche never fails to pass through the spot with the aura of a Queen, as if the royal robe were trailing behind her. She is the people’s choice; humble, as her crown radiates the moment she steps on to the platform. The songstress begun just as the sun set behind her, a perfect backdrop for our sonic journey through a lover’s memoir. Riddled in harmonic highways and underpasses, her “Red Rum Melodies”drift along like a lullaby on a journey of sound waves riding into the dawn, prepping that grown & sexy “Pillow Talk” for the late night lovemakers. I could bet that she’s up there with R. Kelly’sbabymaking music for some of this era’s baby boomers!
