Life or Death" is the second release from "Magnificent Brilliance". The upcoming collaborative project by Ekundayo the Mountenliun and Spittzwell. On this excursion sheer brutality is displayed in sound and word. The production is hard and straight to the point, the lyrics match its raw intensity.
Visual Artist, scholar and activist, Fahamu Pecou presents his first film, "Emmett Still", a day in the precarious life of a young Black man. This is a world where a random encounter with police can quickly turn into a life or death situation. Ultimately, he discovers strength and assurance in the power and beauty of his ancestors. The film's title references the brutal 1955 lynching of Chicago teen Emmett Till and links Till's death to the ongoing violence aimed at Black male youth today. The soundtrack features original music by Fahamu Pecou with guests Killer Mike, Okorie Johnson, Ekundayo, DFocis and AllenTheHuman. It also features a snippet from Cambridge University's 1965 debate between James Baldwin and William Buckley as well as motivational words by Kanye West. The film and album are a part of Pecou's exhibition called "Do or Die: Affect. Ritual. Resistance.." at the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art in Charleston, SC. (www.halsey.cofc.edu) Aug 26 - Oct 8, 2016) and also represents aspects of Pecou's research as a Ph.D candidate at Emory University, in Atlanta GA. ©2016 FahamuPecouArt.com

ON MY GONZALES-STAHHR feat. JOHN ROBINSON & EKUNDAYO "On My Gonzales" is Atlanta-based mc/lyrical alchemist/DOOM affiliate staHHr's latest video from her "Mother Nature with a Molotov: Molotov Season" album. Joined by lyrical heavyweights John Robinson (Scienz of Life) and Ekundayo (L.I.U.N.S. Den), the trio lace this Floyd the Locsmif track with clever wordplay, smooth delivery and quotables for days. The title of the song comes from a line in staHHr's verse, where she coins the phrase "on my Gonzales" in reference to one "being focused, handling biz, doing their job, etc". Director Nick Burnz interweaves elements of "Golden Era" hip hop with live perfomance footage, playing off of the organic energy of the song and the undeniable and familial chemisty of staHHr, JR and Ekundayo. Shot on location at BeATLab USA in Atlanta, GA
L.I.U.N.S. DEN aka A.N.D.C (All Nice and Decent Crew) take a trip to Waikiki, Hawaii and realize that they don't want the trip to end. So they return back to their place of residence in Atlanta, GA and bring the vibes and energy of Waikiki, Hawaii to the hood.

Fahamu Pecou presents ALL DAT GLITTERS AINT GOALS EP (Produced by ILLASTRATE): A collection of original music inspired by Pecou's painting series of the same title. Director: Fabian "Occasional Superstar" Williams Producer: Fahamu Pecou Videoographer: Victor "Massive" Bland Editing/Graphics: Kimberly Binns Music: Illastrate Featuring: Fahamu Pecou / Yamin Semali / Methuzulah / Mike Flo / Ekundayo / DT / Massive the Victor / Boog Brown / Joe D / Divine Wiz / Great SCOTT Fahamu Pecou sifts through rap music, hip-hop culture, and mass media to challenge and critique the lifestyles that serve as a bar upon which an entire segment of today's society measures their worth. Controlling images in hip-hop culture privilege hyper-materiality and often celebrates iniquitous behaviors through popular rap music, videos, magazines, and other media ultimately infecting the overall perception of "success" in contemporary black male culture. Though some argue that these images are merely entertainment, to many on the outside looking in, there is no clear distinction between fact and fiction. The reading and performance of black masculinity is often greatly dependent upon the reflected images of black men in the media--where hip-hop culture becomes the demonstrative construct. Through paintings, music, videos and a forthcoming mobile app, Pecou provokes viewers to engage critically with popular images and ideals as articulated through contemporary hip-hop culture.

www.organizingisthenewcool.com If Hip Hop was a hurricane, then Wrath of the Siafu would be positioned somewhere in the eye of the storm. Wrath of the Siafu, the first single release off of the Organizing is the New Cool Soundtrack is a perfect example of the underlying theme of the documentary film. This thunderous anthem is an amalgamation of 11 of Atlanta's heaviest hitting independent artists who lyrically ambush a hardcore instrumental that will leave the avid Hip Hop connoisseur begging for more! The Dynamite Bruhz produced track features a who's who of internationally respected underground emcees including: StaHHr, Mike Flo, members of The Liuns Den and Craig "Flux" Singleton (co-producer of the film). This is a guaranteed Hip Hop Classic. About The Siafu The Siafu is the logo of community activists' organization FTP Movement, an artistic representation of the Siafu Ant of Eastern Africa, a species that exemplifies the essence of teamwork. The Siafu has no eyes and no venom - only strong jaws. Individually each is small, but as a team they can strip a water buffalo down to the bone in less than an hour. FTP Movement is much like the Siafu Ant -- small in size, but powerful beyond measure.
