Mr. J. Medeiros (The Procussions) - Nothing Without Providence (Download)

Mr. J. Medeiros is much more than an ordinary hip-hop artist. Not only does he create intelligent and thoughtful music with a purpose, but Medeiros is also well schooled in the arts of B-Boying and writing Graffiti. Even while recording for the lauded hip-hop label, Rawkus, Medeiros has always approached his brand of hip-hop with a strong independent attitude, making music on his own terms, with his own beliefs in mind. His insightful rhymes, social commentary, and spirituality have received praise for pushing the boundaries of lyrical hip-hop. As a founding member of The Procussions, and as a solo artist, Medeiros has worked to perfect his technique as a rapper and producer. This dedication to his craft has earned Medeiros critical acclaim and fans worldwide. In addition to making music, Mr. J. Medeiros is also devoted to social activism.

Spread the Word-Introducing Kazahaya "This Week’s Featured Artist"

Spread the Word-Introducing Kazahaya - another gem from Japan that I found years ago when I was back in the UK. I remember practicing breakdance with these tracks…His music taste is often described as that old boom bap style, perfect for bboys and bgirls to get down to! I will get more updates from him next month, so stay tuned!

Kazahaya began his music career as a DJ in 1994 and started beat making in 1999. He started his own label KZRECORD in 2005 and released a number of 12”s cutting and pasting classic hip hop vocals over his own beats and mix CD’s with a stunning mix of soul, funk, disco, hip hop and more.

In his own words…..”His DJ and beat making were merging elements of Funk and Soul and Hip Hop. The only pieces of equipment I use to produce are the AKAI MPC4000. And I DJ’s only Vinyl!!” read more on the newest blog to hit the underground world of great artists around the world
