download of her Hip Hop Halloween track Heartless Horseman available for

Coming on the tails of Barra’s critically-received CMJ performances, the
track was recorded earlier this month at the Converse Rubber Tracks studio.
Heartless Horseman is a 21st century take on the Legend of Sleepy
Hollow. Barra sings of a villain who collects the hearts of countless women
in hopes of filling the void in his own broken and empty chest; rapper Kon

the fortress because he’s coming for you.

10PM- Le Poisson Rouge - Thursday April 21st!
Guru meant a lot to me– I came up in my career with him whether rocking Gang Starr on the radio when I DJ’d back in the day in Atlanta or my first record gig at EMI/Chrysalis working ‘Hard to Earn’- 3rd album and then staying in touch supportive and even through his illness- we were talking on phone about me doing publicity for 7 grand and his next project…. Life is so fragile. We have to live each day as if it’s the last as tomorrow isn’t promised to us!
I’m there in full force and spirit Thursday- It will be very touching and beautiful!
I went to this Uganda Break Dance Project screening of a film called ‘Bouncing Cats’ at NYU not long ago and I was introduced to this girl Genesis Be by my friend and esteemed colleague Martha Diaz of the Hip Hop Education Center/Hip Hop Association.
Genesis hosted the affair- I was immediately drawn to her charismatic personality and energy. We stayed in touch and I asked her to rock an Efficacy which got a great reaction from fans when we premiered it on ThisIsRealMusic - It’s now up on my Youtube channel- peep it here:

Genesis Be is not your average MC by any means- firstly- she’s deeply rooted in the south- Mississippi to be exact – it’s very much reflected in her rhymes and rhythmic arrangements. She moved here to NY to study at the Clive Davis School of Recorded Music..She’s also a self-starter/entrepreneur and has formed an organization called StriveTillIRise - What started out as T-shirts has now become a movement.

I’m expecting big things from Genesis Be so stay tuned.. I’m trying to convince her to call the album ‘Mississippi to Manhattan’

If you aren’t hip to this duo- Onili- they got the refreshing edgy sound and style fronted by this hot chick Onili.

So you ready??
Here’s the track to flip- “Why Did You Go” featuring Onili and Laroz. The collaboration between the meteoric talent Onili and Dub maestro Laroz, is an irresistible sour sweet Summer Anthem in the making. Blending a sweet reggae groove with a popish vocal which is both gentle and catchy. Capturing the agony and irony of a lost love which faded like the passing season, culminating in the inevitable question. Why did you go?
