DJ 4th Wurld is proud to present another lively episode of United States of Rhythm. This edition features interviews with Ghana's own M.anifest and Queens, NY's own Cormega.
To begin the program, 4th Wurld has a one-on-one with M.anifest to highlight not only the release of his brand new album Immigrant Chronicles: Coming To America but also M.anifest's blossoming career as an Afrikan Hip Hop Emcee. Focus points include M.anifest's testimony on life in the United States ten-years removed from Ghana, his views on working with Afrikan musicians from other Afrikan countries, and his respect for the elders of Afrikan music who've paved the way for artists such as himself.
Later on in the program 4th Wurld's interview with Cormega uncovers the seasoning of Hip Hop's veterans as Cormega discusses his transformation into a "distinguished gentleman" of the culture. In the 45-minute, revealing discussion Cormega highlights his views on the "sex, drugs, and violence" of adulterated rap music and why he is now opposed to glorifying such subject matter in his music. Other topics of discussion include his view on political prisoners such as Mumia Abu Jamal and victims of police terrorism such as Sean Bell, his opinion regarding the lack of attention given to disasters such as the Earthquake attack on Ayiti (Haiti) by Hip Hop artists, and his view on the media's participation in painting a negative picture of artists of Afrikan descent in a seemingly deliberate fashion.
Alongside the interviews is a load of brand new music from artists such as Alive & Well (Ekundayo and Mikeflo), Evidence, Eric Roberson, Phonte, Concept ft. staHHr, Blink, J-Live ft. Rasheeda Ali, 2face ft. D'banj, P-Square, Sali Sidibé ft. Jose Marquez and others.
