I had to follow up my previous post with another international hip hop posting. I’m watching the olympics right now so I guess it was the olympic spirit but keeping with the theme for tonight…I’m gonna keep it straight Aussie.
Her Name is Maya Jupiter, First off I gotta support the women out there regardless of country that are putting out true to the heart/self Hip hop music and keeping the culture alive. Honestly I have no idea how I found out about her, I guess I was messing around on the net and got lost in ‘internet land’. One thing though, I’ve always been about checking for hip hop in other countries, seeing what’s going on in Europe, South Africa, England, all over the world. Hip hop is so huge, I can go almost anywhere and connect with someone just because we like The roots, Jay-Z whomever and it’s not just the music, it’s the whole culture, the history, the energy. Hip hop connects people and it’s that connection that brings out the beauty of the human spirit in my opinion. While I’m on my Aussie ish, check out M.C. T.R.E.Y. Maya and MC. T.R.E.Y. are partners in rhyme and along with their DJ, DJ Nick Toth they comprise the group Foreign Heights. One of the reason I support these women not only because represent hip hop so well, but they walk the walk and talk the talk. They are involved in a number of community programs and Nuff said…check the above youtube vid.
Peace
