Sat, May 3rd,2008 The Duo held a power packed event (Galapagos,Brooklyn NYC) filled with fans/supporters from all over New York City. With performances from the A-Alikes, Blitz the Ambassador and a highlighted performance from Dead Prez (RBG fam). I sure hope you was there to wittness the real!
Dead Prez They personalize the struggle, and they focus on the enhancement of the mind; Military style!. bringing forth street knowledge, awareness and shifting their focus towards the "hood", where its obvious that there is a need for change. This "oh so" prolific duo, lead by critically acclaimed emcee's SticMAN & M1, have been shutting down the set since 2000 and dropping albums such as "Lets get free, "Get Free or die trying", "Turn off the radio" mixtape,of course the RBG(Revolutionary but Gangster) album aS WELL AS THEIR solo Albums,Sticman-"MANHOOD" and M1-"CONFIDENTIAL" in stores now!
Classic collabos and underground hits keep them on top of their game,Dead Prez is what I call the "Modern day Righteous power movement" -"Be Alert, Walk like a warrior and be ready for anything" are the laws that they live by.
Blitz The ambassador And we thought hip Hop was dead... This multitalented Lyricist/Producer and film director, others know him as the "Soul rebel" Blitz the Ambassador brings forth a visual of rocking slowly to a melody then being suddenly awakend to the sounds of drums, trumpets and SOUL! Blitz the Ambassador (Nigerian Native) brings it on home with his philosophy of life's daily endeavors and intrepersonal visions.
With an Album in the making "Suicide Stereotype" (fall 08) coming soon, with features from The Hypnotic Ensemble (8 peice horn crew) J.Ivy (Def Poet, Kanye West "college Dropout" Feature) and many more, we'll never know what to expect next. Just expect greatness!
The A-Alikes, Originally from Tallahasse, Florida. This Brooklyn based Duo, Ness and K, set out on a journey to create a revolution for the modern day generation. With their blatant outlook of the world from a political and personal view, New York has become that plate to serve that "Good Knowledge" for dinner on, with a little bit of "Pay Attention" for dessert.
With two albums out overseas (Live or die, Guerilla Nation vol 1&2) we await the next message- Check out their new single "rather be hated" and lets talk about !
