Brother Ali - Only Life I Know

Brother Ali speaks for the down trodden and oppressed who unfortunately happen to make up a sizable portion of the citizens that live in America, one of the globes riches nations mind you. How do you like that? A story far of us know too well, depicted visually in high contrast but even still desaturated fashion. This song and video are proof that Hiphop is still the CNN of the streets. Don't let anyone tell you any different.

A Conscious Twinterview w/ YC The Cynic

@Conscious How do you approach creating a new rhyme/song/verse....?
@YCtheCynic Me? I don't have a set ritual. Its more so a feeling that I'm in a creative mood. Then I try to figure what flow sounds best.
@Conscious How do you go about choosing tracks to rock over?
@YCtheCynic At this point, I just choose tracks that I like. Beats that I'd listen to, on a regular, w/o words. Plus, if it'd fit my style.
@Conscious What do you consider your style to be?
@YCtheCynic I'd say funk or jazz inspired stuff, that leaves space for the words to be heard/felt/understood. Like a Rebirth of Slick...
@Conscious How long have you been performing? What is your goal with this rap thing?
@YCtheCynic My first performance was about 2 or 3 years ago, but I haven't had many, until recently. I've been rhyming for over 8 years now. My goal is 2 provide good music, an alternative to the detrimental stuff out there. Financially, I'd just like 2 live comfortably. I don't care to be rich/wealthy. I'd just like to, not worry about working...and completely focus on doing what I love.

I love you to death , like slugs do to chest
in culture clubs there be vets
saturated, double wet,
that, flammable solution burn
pollution from the depths of a trouble soul left on the steps of st. anna
miracles don't survive they die and re-incarnate
I am just a fly up high that saw the carnage
iron eagle bondage, prisoner of mind
I will never tarnish, human statute
strongest, stand the test of time

The Final Experience; For Now That Is...

From left to right, Tah, Demonstina, Adam B & Conscious.

Well on August 29th, 2008 the final Adam B Experience show aired, with in-studio guest, 'Tah Phrum Duh Bush, Demonstina & Conscious', three artists who have benefited much from the hard work and dedication of Adam B in the pursuit of getting press and exposure for independent artists. We don't look at the end of the show that ran five years strong as an end really, just a beginning for bigger and better things. Free Hiphop Now congratulates Adam Bernard for his many accomplishments in the field of journalism/media and will continue to support his efforts.

Look out for a monthly podcast from Adam B soon available at rapreviews.com. Until then, to stay in tuned check out Adam's blog http://adambernard.blogspot.com/
