Gone too soon. Disheartened to learn that Gael “G” Gallegos was called to rest yesterday. G was an important part of our last album, a talented musician and creative who will be sorely missed. Sending love and prayers to his partner Diana, friends and family in this difficult time.

Huge thanks to Asim Hashim, Kwesi Kindu Shabazz-Sekyere, Sayeed Shabazz aka Black Anger who came out of retirement for this- means the world fellas- yall were game official coming up and really embodied the true essence from the jump, standing on truth, justice, fighting for Black Liberation and the culture.

Last but certainly not least, please give a warm welcome to 206 Zulu’s newest members Malikah Mika’ela, Anthony Barr-Jeffrey and Prince Charles Greene El!

Still grappling with the reality Nes Rodriguez is no longer here in the physical. He inspired, empowered, uplifted and loved deeply. Things just haven’t been the same without him over this last year. Rest easy Unc.
Hard to imagine that it’s been 5 years since the release of Pangea: Hip Hop Heals Compilation, a compilation album spotlighting 50 artists representing 17 countries, speaking to their individual experiences during the Covid19 pandemic.
This project meant so much to me and in hindsight kept me sane and positive during extremely difficult times. With so much struggles and strife going on in the world and in my personal life, the music meant everything. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who stepped in, stepped up and got involved, this couldn’t have been possible without your support!
Our song “Biorhythms” has been Officially accepted to NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest! We’re so excited! Take a look at the video
