THE UNTITLED TRACK, SLOWLY BECOMING A FAVORITE AMONG MANY (@LOVEagent876 @IMREDEEM)

Posted on March 3, 2015 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

The outcome of a song that came about as a result of an expressive moment of fun by recording artiste Chaos Whyte and freelance media personality Disc Jock Redeem aka SIR is becoming a favorite among many. The song has been receiving rotations on some local and overseas radio stations, though it is yet to be titled and therefore has been presented as “Untitled”.

SIR and Chaos have began a radio tour so as to increase the awareness of the song, as well as to get the assistance of the public in coming up with the song’s title. The radio tour kicked off with an appearance at ROOTS 96.1 FM, the radio station which Disc Jock Redeem is affiliated with. There are several radio stations both locally and overseas that are a part of the tour and there is an open invitation to any radio station that has the desire to join in on the tour.

Interested radio presenters / disc jocks or station managers can make their interest known by sending word to: dj.redeem@yahoo.com or via whatsapp: 1-876-450-6633

Don’t Let Them Get Away With Murder (Official Video) @jasiri_x

Posted on March 2, 2015 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

Jasiri X shared his new video, “Don’t Let Them Get Away With Murder” which is a collaboration with Harry Belafonte’s organization Sankofa.org, and had this to say

“Unarmed people of color are being killed wholesale by police officers across the country. Their deaths are being ruled as homicides, yet no one is being held accountable. It is my hope that this song will serve as a reminder of how severely broken the justice system is and that we need to take action now to make sure all people are treated equally and given justice.”

According to Jasiri X he received what is obviously a house beat from Zeke Thomas. Knowing he was a “conscious rapper” Zeke apparently wanted to know if Jasiri could spit knowledge over the type of tracks he plays in the club. As an artist Jasiri X took it as a challenge, and sent the song back with verses and a hook. After which Zeke went and got legendary hip-hop artist Chuck D to add vocals. The song is called “Blackness”, listen here https://soundcloud.com/tommy-boy-1/blackness
