Infinito 2017 – We Are Dark
When considering what type of composition to create Infinito 2017 (Marcellous Lovelace) takes all of his life experience to develop from the infinite boundless universe. On the long player “We Are Dark” produced entirely by Brooklyn’s own Black Sparx, Infinito 2017 writes stories of clarity in apocalyptic time. Drawing from the back drop of 60 / 70’s soul music this album is look inside the travels on the path to self development. Infinito 2017 carefully crafted a masterful sounds-cape over a years time touching on all of the many thoughts a creative mind like his would have during the daily grind. Also understanding, entertaining and from the heart with information, knowing that Hip Hop is done for the love so we give to the culture not take ( “so my music is not about commercial profit”). “We Are Dark” was first developed in Philadelphia arranged in Los Angeles produced and mixed in Brooklyn written and mastered in Chicago and recorded in Memphis. The greatest lesson for listeners to learn is stay aware of the world around you and don’t limit yourself just because We Are Dark.
Produced entirely by Black Sparx. Guest Include Life Long (Stronghold), Knuckles Bandit, Thaione Davis and Breez Evahflowin (Stronghold). With scratches by the White Shadow of Norway.
Label: Unlimited Supply Chain
We Are Dark is also the group name of Infinito 2017 and Black Sparx

TRUTH UNIVERSAL
Truth Universal has been a fixture in the New Orleans underground scene. Inspired by the golden age emcees, the New Orleans based emcee has been following in their footsteps with each of his releases. With his latest project the Guerrilla Business EP set to drop next week, I got the chance to speak with TU on a variety a topics such as his upcoming EP, the Saints winning the Super Bowl and his rocky label situation with Paris’ Guerrilla Funk Records. Hit the jump to get to know the man known as Truth Universal.
Introduce Yourself
Truth Universal, New Orleans based, Trinidad born, Civilian Guerrilla crowd rocker.
Why the name Truth Universal?
Truth Universal is my Divine attribute. It speaks me seeking, and striving to speak and live Universal Truth.
Who are some of your musical inspirations?
Poor Righteous Teachers, Andre Tanker, Brother Resistance (Network Riddum Band), Mantronix, Just-Ice, DMX, Dana Dane, Clark Kent, Slick Rick, Vance Wright, Doug Fresh, KRS One, Public Enemy, Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, Peter Tosh, Bob Marley and Run DMC.
Past projects readers should know about:
Vinyl 12″: “Dashiki Dialogue,” “Four Track Mind,” “New Orleans’ Finest,” “Mind Frame.” EP: “Plantation Graffiti,” “N.O. Finest” Maxi, Decolonization Mixtape, Grassroots! Campaign Mixtape and the album Self Determination.
Current projects readers should be looking out for:
Guerrilla Business EP–release date: 03.16.10. There are a couple videos in the final stages of production also – “Serve & Protect” by Nickel Dime Studios, and “The GRASSROOTS! Campaign” by Onpoint Media.
Who is involved in the Guerrilla Business EP?
Guests on this project are pretty much fam that are close by: Evelyn Champagne, Skipp Coon and Lyrikill. DJs include DJ Chief One, DJ Maxmillion, and DJ Himuki. On production we have Dan Freeman, N.O. Bricks, Prospek, DJ Himuki, DJ Maxmillion, Mr. Nick, Gensu Dean, and Snuff Sugar.
Sounds like a good lineup. How long is the EP? Is this self released or through a label?
Word, those are some VERY talented folks. It’s short…10 track IDs…8 original tracks, 1 remix, 1 interlude. It’s a self release; most of my work is. “Self-Determination” was a partnership between Truth Universal Music & Dragon’s Breath Records. The worldwide digital release will be handled by http://root70lounge.com .
What’s up with the Guerilla Funk label?
Signed there since 2006, and basically is STILL bullshitting with my album, Decolonization.
Are you trying to get out of the contract?
Yeah…I have no desire to release anything there, I see no point in that. Dude talks this great game, but ends up wasting most of the cats’ time.
Are they sort of holding you hostage though? Do you have the rights to the album to release it somewhere else or on your own?
There is no “they,” it’s only Paris. While I am grateful for the exposure on the Hard Truth Soldiers compilations, I don’t have time waste waiting around for who knows what.
For anybody familiar w/ Self Determination, they know you worked w/ legends like Wise Intelligent (Poor Righteous Teachers) & Cee Know the Doodlebug (Digable Planets). What was that working with them? How did you link up with them?
It was an honor. I met Doodlebug at a Digable Planets reunion tour show in N.O. I gave him that “Decolonization Mixtape” to check out. We built over the phone about working on something. We solidified things when I opened for them in Austin some months later.
The song was actually inspired by writings by Wise Intelligent and Bakari Kitwana. I started building with Wise’s manager (Born Free) the same time the song was in production. It was on something totally different, but I let him hear the joint, he got it to Wise, and we went from there.
Now you’re one of the most prominent artists in the New Orleans underground scene. What are your thoughts on the scene right now?
It’s wonderful at this point in time. There’s a renaissance of sorts happening. There’s a good deal of positive creative energy, initiative and determination. The artists are no longer waiting on the local industry only to provide performance opportunities. We do our own events: “GRASSROOTS!” Soundclash, Uniquity, New Orleans Hip Hop, Streetwear joints, and more.
As I’ve made sure our readers know, the Saints recently won the Super Bowl lol. But the effects on the city, state & community have been huge. The hip hop scene is no different. What’s it been like seeing guys like K Gates & Dee-1 get exposure nationwide because of their Saints anthems?
Those brothers are exceptional talents, but yeah the anthem content was in line with the hype and journey. I hope going forward some of the light stays shining on the city. It’s still, and always will be, a bittersweet event/time for me. It seems that folks have forgotten about the millions put into Superdome repair while a large number Katrina affected folks were still displaced and/or practically homeless. I know of folks who still can’t afford to come home. Of course I went to Saints games growing up, etc., so there is a “Wow!” factor involved. However, it’s temporary distraction from the incessant violence, homelessness and messed up public school system though.
If you had to pick one song that defines your career up to this point, what would it be?
“The Grassroots Campaign” produced by N.O. Bricks. It’s just speaking on the underground MC struggle. “Eloquent as, Gibran’s pen when the mic get blessed/ Seventeen year overnight success!” I list influences in terms of upbringing, emcees, and study. I have to say that one. It’s a classic crowd rocker, call and response track.
If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have one album to listen to, what would it be?
Damn. Right now I’ll say Digable Planets’ Blowout Comb. That’ll stay in my top 5 forever! The Hip Hop aesthetics it embodies, the progressive content…It’s very near perfect to me and I I never tire of listening to it.
Any shout outs or last words?
First and foremost, I implore folks to monetarily support the good music you enjoy. Guerrilla Business arrives in the universe on 03.16.2010.
I would love to thank everybody that came out last night to the show last night “Somebody Is Gonna Get Pregnant” And for all those who couldn’t make it you missed a very memorable show. Great performances By Shagan Walks, Taylor Hooker Stevenson, GRLFRNZ, White Fang Pawless, La Comby Perfecta & Chuggo. Even through all the technical sound difficulties White Fang Put on a great show. Hip Hop can’t be stopped and like any great artist White Fang and His Crew Push through there set Winner over the Crowds Support. GRLFRNZ Bust on to the scene with a Show stopping Set and also debut a new song for the masses and with a drunken Topless Flash it was over. La Comby Perfecta & Chuggo as always ended off a good night with a solid performance that couldn’t be denied. Next Time Don’t Get Left behind and COME!!

France Tour Flyer
Groupe de rap créatif né à la fin des années 80, la réputation de ces deux New-Yorkais n’est plus à faire.
Forts du succès de tubes comme Turn it Out ou Watch out now , morceau ouvertement samplé par les producteurs de J.Lo sur son morceau Jenny From the Block, les deux latinos n’ont pas l’intention de prendre leur retraite maintenant.
Influencés par la culture Hip Hop de Afrika Bambaataa ou Kool Herc et ayant collaborés avec les plus grands rappeurs (Dead Prez, Cypress Hill, Naughty by Nature entres autres), ils viendront sur la scène du Grand Mix pour notre plus grand plaisir nous présenter leurs lyrics rigolos teintés de basses funky et de beats frais et originaux.
Brand Nubian (usa)
Originaire de l’état de New York, le groupe Brand Nubian est composé de Dj Alamo,
des rappeurs Lord Jamar, Grand Puba et Sadat X. Encore aujourd’hui, Brand Nubian
est toujours considéré comme un des meilleurs groupes de rap des années quatre-vingt dix.
Leur premier album « All for One » sorti en 1990 est un classique et reste l’un des disques les plus piratés de l’industrie discographique rap. Membres des 5% (un courant de pensée inspiré de l’Islam), leurs textes engagés politiquement sur des beats influencés de soul, jazz et même rock, les ont rendus incontournables
durant les années 90.Ils ont influencé de nombreux artistes (Dead Prez, KMD, Busta Rhymes,certains membres du Wu-Tang Clan) et encore aujourd’hui de nombreux blacks américains.
Les membres restent toujours actifs : Lord Jamar a joué dans plusieurs séries télé (Oz, NY Unité Spéciale, Les Sopranos, NY 911).
On trouve régulièrement dans les bacs des albums solo de Grand Puba ou Sadat X mais également des albums de Brand Nubian dont le dernier « Time’s runnin « est sorti en 2007.
Respect Tha God (usa)
Le premier album de Respect (Tha God) intitulé «Don’t we need a little» parle de lui même. Cet album traite de sujet différents, Respect y relate plusieurs histoires de son vécu, il explique comment les hommes et les femmes pourraient vivre de façon plus positive en surmontant les obstacles de la vie. On y retrouve Respect avec un style mature et affirmé, il nous fait comprendre par cet album qui il est vraiment et ce qu’il veut défendre. Respect collabore avec Black Pantha et son label Koch ainsi que PF Cuttin et Ken Ring. Le projet introduis aussi un nouveau jeune talent (Plethora) qui à coup sur va surprendre tout le monde. Dans les bacs actuellement chez Manekinepro/Koch music…Il a recement signé une collaboration avec GreySquare Record, un label de la région nord pas de calais…Restez a l’écoute.
