WORLD MASH "Collective"

Afropean Hip Hop

Saba Saba introcuced me to the crew while they were touring the west coast. Right after a bad ass show at the ROXY. They came down to my studio wanting to lay down some flow. The only reason I should mention this is that as a music producer (and a sucker for a good time in the studio) i was served. Yeah: The only thing I can say about this lot is th at when they invade your studio, it isn't to waste any time, and If they come a little stronger than the usual rapper hip hopper full of small talk, well God Damned there is a freaking reason.

From East Africa, these 2 incredible artists bring with their performances a true new light to what music and expression is really about.

Working with such artists has been a truly enlightening experience and an eye opener on the immense talent and the great responsibility these artists show to help liberating their nations from the greedy tentacles of the Western World. We hope that you'll enjoy the tracks ! briss (music and production). Bataka Squad
