RE-VOLT RADIO INTERVIEWS: SULLEE J / HIP HOP WITH HEART

Ladies & Gents, I introduce to you SULLEE J. A Hip Hop artist that grew up in a Pakistani/American culture.

He struggled with neglect, racism and heartaches. He hopes to open doors for many other south Asians in the hip hop game trying to make it.

I was introduced to Sullee by my warrior sister (Harrabic Tubman)that runs the Show N Prove radio in NY. I checked his profile up & what attracted me to this guy is his track "Billy's Conscious" in which he made a rap song about a man "Billy" that was suffering from a disease that doctors didnt know what its called, so they called it by his name!.

RE-VOLTING : New Yorkers pray for Gaza victims

For the first time ever, the largest church in New York had a special prayer for the people of Palestine.

Saint Patrick's Cathedral is a historical landmark, drawing tourists from all over the world. Today it was for the Gazans killed and wounded during the Israeli war on the strip two years ago.

Pastor Khader El-Yateem is a Palestinian-American from Bethlehem and is urging everyone to pray for the people of Gaza and the rest of Palestine

With large numbers of Christians leaving the Middle East, the Clergy today had another message for the ones that are left: stay put and be Patient.

The prayer service had a somber feel to it as worshippers prayed for peace and justice for Palestinians of all faiths.

The Gaza strip remains besieged with little food and medical supplies allowed in, and almost no access to the outside world.

Bethlehem is the city Jesus was born in, but remains under Israeli occupation and divided from Jerusalem by an apartheid wall.

Shout out to Existence is Resistance.

*The event took place on Jan 11th, 2011.

MY SHOW ON RADIO LEBANON (96.2FM)

I was lucky to actually play Arabic Hip Hop for the first time on the Radio in Lebanon. I believe radio stations there dont play & support any Arabic Hip Hop artists which is a big shame.

My man Freddy from Radio Lebanon (96.2FM) has a show called the TRIP & he invited me over to play some of the tracks that RE-VOLT has been playing ONLINE..

Big Shout out to him for letting me do this .

I really enjoyed this set & tell you the truth I felt proud hearing songs like Long live Palestine by Lowkey & Al Kofeyye Arabia by Shadia Mansour being played on the Lebanese National Radio! The set also included tracks by Offendum, The Narcicyst, DJ lethal skillz & many other MC's! (Check it out below & let me know what you think)
