"Another Perspective" album by Amen BK

'Ask the question and you will learn the lesson' – for Tunisian-born rapper and songwriter Amen Ben Koussa, these words are more than simply lyrics to a song; they are words to actively and wholeheartedly live by. Listening to his recent debut-album Another Perspective, his apparent intention to constantly search for new and creative ways to answer the questions posed is made abundantly clear. Luckily for us, the album's appeal doesn't stop there; not only does it present an opportunity for contemplation in audible form, but it convincingly manages to do so whilst at the same time maintaining its overall function as a very pleasurable listening experience.

Of course, it is one thing to be able to rap well, but being able to truly say something is another thing altogether. Perhaps one of the most rigorous tests of lyrical quality is the question whether the words themselves continue to effectively portray their message once they have been stripped down to their bare essentials. It is in this sense, perhaps, that the artistry involved in Another Perspective becomes clearest of all; though it is evident that the artist is able to skillfully use the medium of rap to convey his message, it would seem like he may be just as appropriately described as being a poet first and foremost. As such, his lyrical worth –as is often the case- may well lie in the unique and unfamiliar descriptions of various universal themes and concepts. In Unfair Trials, for example, the listener is urged to resist that all too familiar tendency towards adopting a narrow and embittered outlook on life, and is stimulated to resist it by 'setting the view on panorama' instead. Interestingly, and in this case specifically, the album's recurring theme of tackling various different perspectives is dealt with in both the literal and figurative senses – two very different ways of approaching any given concept – proving that Amen BK has very much taken to heart the age-old wisdom of 'practicing what you preach'.

Though the lyrics themselves might just as well have functioned as an excellent spoken-word performance, they have without a doubt been further enriched by the vast array of sounds present throughout the album. With an eye on the wide plethora of influences that have made their way into the project, including the use of Flamenco, Jazz, Reggae, Rock, Opera, Classical, Blues and Soul-orientated instrumentals, it would have been all too easy for the album to have unintentionally become an unguided missile of sorts. The attentive listener, however, is likely to conclude that in fact, nothing seems to be farther from the truth; upon listening to the album, it gradually becomes more and more clear that nowhere has this broad pallet of influences been incorporated simply for diversity's sake. Instead, the taken approach seems to have been the only possible way of doing justice to the vast amount of different topics and themes covered in its forty-five minutes of running time. This beautifully appropriate synergy between music and lyrics is perhaps nowhere more evident than in 'El Baile De La Vida' (The Dance Of Life), which almost instantly invokes the vivid Spanish imagery consistent with the influences that it so strongly draws upon.

Much of the album's apparent cohesion may be attributed to the consistent usage of a central, 'conscious' theme. Though it takes on various different forms throughout -dealing with issues of social justice, politics and spirituality to name a few- the aforementioned theme nonetheless functions as the album's main reference point. The way that these topics are approached, however, ensures that the album is never caught lingering in its confrontation with injustice; by putting a positive spin on many strongly contested issues, it seemingly successfully promotes conscious thinking without ever becoming cynical in its nature.

Another Perspective might thus be described as being somewhat of a two-headed monster; a musical effort that is consistent in its method whilst maintaining its diversity at the same time. The overarching feeling one takes away from it, and perhaps from Amen BK's work in general, is that we're dealing with a man who might well be described as being an artist in every sense of the word; though his music is suitably geared towards being a pleasurable listening experience, the vast array of words and ideas presented throughout feel more like baring witness to some kind of interior monologue. In many ways, it is perhaps reminiscent of our own conflicting understandings of the complex world around us. Almost without exception, the mark of all great artists has arguably always been their ability to communicate the questions and conflicts imposed on them by their reflective nature, and consequently, their inability to go through life without doing exactly that. Though it is perhaps early days, Koussa's work seems to exhibit many indicators of such a notion. Even though Another Perspective quite convincingly demonstrates that there is no such thing as an absolute truth, it would seem like madness to deny the musical and lyrical potential on display here - whichever way you choose to look at it.

Harry Mindgame feat Mr Mentz 'Love Life'

Music Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9CZvkH7Xx8&feature=youtu.be

'Love Life' is a joint collaboration between DJ and Producer, Harry Mindgame and rapper Mr Mentz. This project will be part of an EP followed by an album in a quick minute.

'Love Life' weaves an addictive story of life in London. The challenges people face on the daily and of the unwaivering desire to keep your dreams alive and continue to strive and never give up, if you want to achieve success in what you want to do; something we should ALL never get tired of hearing…

Harry Mindgame is name that's synonymous in the UK Underground Hip Hop scene. DJing since the age of 15, before delving into the art of Beatmaking and promoting parties to showcase both his talent and that of his peers, for almost as long. As a youngster in the game, the Sampler and the TR808 Drum machine were the mediums he felt most at home with. He stuck with it over the years, upgrading in knowledge and equipment consistently bringing his music to the people in the best way he knew how;

On time and on point…

and this tough release called 'Love Life' is no exception to that rule…

Long time Emcee Mr Mentz's flow is a smooth symbiosis of rhythm and metaphor that is remisent of classic outfits like Camp Lo, Souls of Michief and early Outkast. Intelligent verses with that laid back swagger of Golden era mid-90s Rap, delivered with a modern, quintissentially British twist.

A prolific writer and Artist, he paints a vivid picture of the modern urban landscape. A detailed and thorough portrayal of the world he sees, through his lyrics.

Harry Mindgame and Mr Mentz have definitely done their Hip Hop homework on this one…

With a successful promotional campaign Bomber has been creating the right kind of attention, and literally has exploded. With his own style that consists of infectious pop melody and awesome hip-hop beats. Adrian Sykes at EMI had to comment, “He has success written all over him!” He has been featured on the online publication NewQuod and has started turning heads already.

Bomber started his journey with the release of ‘On My Way,’ which features the producer on vocals and has brought Bomber a good amount of new fans. The new track Amazing is set to be the song of the dance floors with a catchy beat, a brilliant dance floor smash to chase away the winter blues. The beat was produced by Tyler Smith of Tyler Smith Productions and features a 90s style piano mixed with an upbeat synth.

Bomber has always had a flare for music from such a young age. He grew up in North London with his Jamaican mother and his older siblings. Music was always playing and smooth reggae beats were definitely the catch of the day. At a young age when Bomber aka Kirk Edwards first got into MCing he used to attend MC battles and was even featured on ‘Heat FM.’

Bomber has been signed but the label he was signed to went into liquidation leaving him unsigned, but now he has a new management and a great team behind him to bring his music to the UK’s ears, this has been dubbed his year. Already he has performed with the likes of Chipmunk another British rapper and also completed a University Tour which spread like wild fire. To date though Bomber also managed to bag himself a space at this year’s Surface Festival and scored the most points EVER in their competition.

With his first debut single planned to be released on the 28th October, it’s time to give him the spotlight and watch him shine as Amazing hits the dancefloors…

Bizarre Or What? Gay Rapper Threatens To Sue Fans If They Refuse To Download Upcoming Mixtape

In an extremely bizarre audio clip preview of his upcoming mixtape, "Zero Percent P---y", controversial East Coast gay rapper Cocky da Homo MC, no stranger to hip hop headlines, took up almost 10 minutes of the mp3 in a manic diatribe, ranting almost hysterically against his haters, a former manager from Florida who "works for PETA yet eats hamburgers," and also his fans, going as far as to threaten to actually sue them if they do not download the upcoming street album. The preview, released earlier today at Retwedia.com, shot up almost immediately to the top most streamed music clips of the day.

Perhaps even more shocking in the preview is the inclusion of a song that may just be the very first "pro-snitching" hip hop anthem ever with lyrics such as, "I ain't afraid to snitch, Cocky will (m'f'ing) tell," and "I will call the police, stoop that low dog I will."

The rapper has released the following statement: "I sincerely apologize for the rant, it was ridiculous and everything I said has no basis in reality or fact. Don't sue me."

"Zero Percent P----y" is slated to be released in two weeks, with appearances from Skyy Blue and Josef Eugene.

Hip Hop + Electronica + Indie Rock = Record Producer JDVisionquest3000

Los Angeles based record producer Joe Dancsak, a.k.a. JDVisionquest3000 has been making his mark in hip hop and electronic music lately, both on the west coast and in the Midwest.

By releasing a string of singles by Ohio rapper Nate Sylak through www.jdvisionquest3000.com, and using free social media sites such as Reverbnation, Dancsak has begun making a name for himself. Dancsak is currently ranked high in the Reverbnation Electronica charts for L.A. coming in at #44, and building an audience numbering over 100,000 in the process.

Dancsak has released 3 singles by Sylak, “Janie’s Song”, “One By One”, and “Superhigh”, all available at his website and Sylak‘s social media sites. Dancsak uses elements of electronica and indie rock music in his hip hop productions, lending a unique style to his sound.

The singles follow closely an appearance by Sylak, who is signed to Dancsak’s soon to be launched 3000 Music, on the Dr. Dre tribute album “The Chronic: A Millennium Tribute to the Songs of Dr. Dre”. Dan Hyman of the L.A. Weekly blog sited Sylak as the “…lone hero of the album…. This Sylak dude kills it, and he’s definitely worth a listen.” Hyman also wrote, “This Nate Sylak dude is easily the breakout artist of the album." The album was subsequently streamed off Dre’s Aftermath website, affording Sylak wide exposure.

In addition, Dancsak was quoted in Buzzbin Magazine’s feature on Sylak, “Nate Sylak Makes His Own Noise,” a story about Sylak’s increasing popularity in the Ohio region and the state of the music industry. Dancsak is quoted as Sylak’s producer and as an informative source in the music trade. Journalist Chris Wig writes “…His L.A. based producer, Dancsak, believes that this latest development in Sylak’s career is indicative of larger structural changes within the music industry. While the producer of an emerging artist can provide beats, production, and guidance, the artist provides the hard work..” In that regard, Nate doesn’t stop,” Dancsak said. “The gun slinging aspect of rap has turned into how much product can an artist put out and keep the quality level high while they do it….”

Jamaican Hip Hop Artist Nomad Carlos Releases New Single "Live Good"

Helping bring Jamaican Hip Hop into the limelight, Nomad Carlos has just dropped his new single “Live Good” as a free download this week in preparation for the fall release of his new mixtape, “Me Against the Grain.”

Raised in Kingston from the age of 5, Nomad worked his way up through Jamaica's Reggae and Dancehall dominated music industry to become one of the frontrunners in an effort to bring Hip Hop to the mainstream of Jamaica. “This is an ongoing struggle I go through in my own country. Gatekeepers to the music industry turn a blind eye to the local Hip Hop community,” expresses Nomad. “A lot of Hip Hop artists aren't getting any recognition or exposure… the masses don't even know about the scene...I'm part of a committee where we put on our own shows once a month called #PayAttention. We as Hip Hop artists, producers and people of interest had to come together and make it happen. It's a place for the scene to gather and vibe with our local following and supporters. It's been successful so far and is definitely helping to propel the scene.”

When asked about the difference between an album and a mixtape, Nomad explained, “The difference between a mixtape and a CD really is that a mixtape is a free release of music while a CD is an official release that you will have to pay for. Nowadays the market is becoming over saturated with mixtapes. Good mixtapes are the ones that sound like actual albums. I prefer to go hard on all my projects even if it's a free mixtape so that people can know what to expect from me when I drop a CD (album).”

The new single “Live Good” was produced by DJ King Flow from France. He hopes to widen his international exposure by releasing the single online for free before the fall release of his new mixtape, “Me Against the Grain.”

“I want to introduce myself to the market. I want to grab the attention of listeners who would be interested in my music so they can look forward to the progression of my career.”

MusicDishTV Presents "Big Deal" By Patrick "P.A.T." Barnett

Patrick "P.A.T." Barnett's "Big Deal" is a well-produced video and song that is clean cut and smooth at the same time. This young rapper delivers the goods in a manner that all can understand and without all of the obscenities that we've grown accustomed to in hip hop. "Big Deal" is definitely a big deal. It's a slowly paced groove that is inspirational with words that have a message with a punch behind them. Barnett spits his rhymes so clearly that even your grandmother could understand them and would be proud. The video itself is filmed in black and white, and is chock full of shots of a young rapper trying to make it - in the studios, in the streets, and wherever he can. Sometimes, inspiration comes from strange places, and Barnett encourages listeners not to give it. He uses a nice jazz and hip hop blend for the mix, adding a nice hook to complete the package. The young southern emcee has also been the recipient of many awards, and his material is increasingly sought after in the underground music scene. Email: tv@musicdish.net
