J DILLA "STILL SHINING" DOCUMENTARY

J DILLA Today we get a closer look at his life, influence, and music by those who knew him best, with J Dilla: Still Shining. The trailer sparked some conversation topics that are still being discussed, now lets take some time out to see the full project from Brian ‘B. Kyle’ Atkins. BKyle describes this as more of a remembrance piece than a documentary, the vid starts on the day of Dilla’s funeral service (2/10/06) and gives us exclusive interviews with his close friends and family, unseen photos, and rare concert footage. Powerful stuff right here. Gone but never forgotten, Dilla shines on (Rest In Power). "J.Dilla: Still Shining" from B.Kyle on Vimeo .

NASH MC - NAANDIKA "Fikra sahihi huja kwa Lugha Asili"

One of the leaders of the New school of Tanzania Hiphop Movement, a self proclaimed Teacher 'Maalim', Nash MC continues to dominate the streets of Dar-es-salaam with his lyrical lectures accompanied by the Tamaduni muzik Boombap Sound. Nash MC is one of a few independent Tanzania hiphop artists who mastered the art creating a street buzz by releasing a series of Mixtapes and independently distributing his work through out the country without the help of radio airplays. His most recent work is an outstanding Swahili song called "Naandika" where he introspectively invites the listeners into his writing process and the motives behind his writings, without forgetting his role as 'Maalim' during the song Nash makes sure he drops Knowledge to the youth and emphasise the use of Kiswahili language on Tanzanian music, as he spits "Fikra sahihi huja kwa Lugha Asili" which means "A Pure Thought comes to you in your native language" .
