(UPDATE) NBTEE: Plan, Promote and Participate in TEEN Hall Meeting Events - ATL|DET|NYC

2010-01-05T13:20:00.001-08:00

Let's Proclaim 2010 "The Year of Our Youth"
from R. Lee Gordon

In proclaiming 2010 "The Year of Our Youth", I hope {you} will be a part of planning, promoting and participating in our upcoming Harlem TEEN Hall Meeting.

This and future TEEN Hall Meetings are vital to ensuring the mission and success of The 1st National Black TEEN Empowerment Expo Presents FAME: Fashion, Art, Music & Education, scheduled for New York City, in August 2010.

TEEN Hall Meetings will accomplish the following goals:

· Provide a forum for our TEENS to tell us what they're going through, and so they know we're here to help them get through it.
· Serve as a platform to engage youth, support parents and schools, and "activate" our community of caring citizens.
· Connect youth service providers to one another and directly to our TEENS so we can collaborate towards more positive outcomes for more TEENS.
· Bring a panel of youth resources to our TEEN community.
· Create awareness about The National Black TEEN Empowerment Expo Presents FAME: Fashion, Art, Music & Education, and the Youth Empowerment Series (YES) and NBTEE's coalition-, community- and youth-building initiatives.
· Introduce FAME / TEEN IDOL, entrepreneurial initiatives and other youth-based programs.

Each TEEN Hall Meeting will be filmed to document our progress and promote this model to and for other youth and communities. These events can (and should) be duplicated in other parts of the country as a viable community-, coalition- and youth building initiative.

TEEN Hall Meetings will be held in every New York City borough between January and June in our efforts to communicate and connect to as many youth as we can, and connect our youth to as many resources as we can.

Your input is valued as we continue to build this event model. We host local (NYC) planning meetings every Wednesday at 7:PM, and welcome your participation in the process and progress of building better communities and brighter futures for our children.

Based on what too many of our TEENS aren't getting in school and life, each of you should consider yourself a valuable resource in helping more TEENS believe and succeed. So if you're not in New York City, please share information about our efforts with individuals and groups in NYC (see attached NBTEE overview) and Detroit (see www.betterdetroityouth.org). You can also support our efforts by supporting UniTee Design's programs and products (see www.uniteedesign.com).

And, as we believe in the power of "collective enlightened perspective", your comments, questions and suggestions are always valued. I can be reached at 734.395.3079 or rgordon@uniteedesign.com.

By taking matters into our own hands, and then taking what should matter most in our hearts -- our children -- we can all move together towards brighter futures, and a better people and planet.

Get On: TEAM ABYSS!

X-mas Comes Early This Year!

2009-12-10T06:43:00.001-08:00

From Executive Forte:

X-mas Comes Early This Year!

Paradise the Arkitech of X-Clan and Jasiri X have decided to make their new album American History X available for Free Download on December 15th! American History X includes tracks from Jasiri X’s weekly Hip Hop news phenomenon, This Week with Jasiri X, as well as, new music which captures the essence of the street, tempered with the call of personal responsibility. AHX is a study of modern history as it occurs.

“We didn’t want anything to prevent people from having access to great music with a powerful message. If people wanna support that’s fine but for us this is bigger than just a couple of dollars” - Jasiri X

During this season of giving we offer our fans a perfect gift, Freedom, Justice and Equality spit over the hottest beats, delivered with lyrical skillz, consciousness and intelligence sorely lacking in today’s dumbed down Hip-hop music. Jasiri X “Every Week he drops gifts you can call it Xmas!”
- Paradise Gray

American History X features incredible guest appearances by legendary West Coast lyricist Plant Asia, international MC and Brooklyn representer Chen Lo, plus rising stars Living Proofe and Idasa Tariq and an all star cast of international producers including Canada’s Religion, Germany’s Track Phoenz, and Pittsburgh’s Legendary producer Black Czer. Also behind the boards are giants in the making King Sym, 17 year old prodigy Kai Roberts and acclaimed underground producer Omar Abdul. AHX is overseen by highly respected Hip-Hop pioneer Paradise the Akitech, veteran producer of 9 Hip-Hop albums including X-Clan’s verified classic “To the East, Blackwards”.

American History X will be available for download at www.RealtalkXpress.com

The 3-day poetry spectacular continues Saturday the 19th with The Corner LIVE! An evening of soft candle light and soothing scents accompanied by the smooth flow of urban poetic thoughts, LIVE! featuring Atlanta's rising phenom BlaqKharma, is a "Can't Miss!"

16 Bars of Gold Vol. 2 Live Mix Tape Release Party
ATL Hip-Hop Community Collaborates for Recording

Friday, December 4
The 529
East Atlanta Village
10 pm
www.beatstudies.com

It’s been said that the 16 bar verse is the purest measure of an emcee’s worth. For one night only, Beat Studies Productions and Heart of the Hood Entertainment join forces for an underground hip-hop session like no other.

Capturing the voice of hip-hop’s original message with solid beats and intelligent lyrics, this prolific new style event in Atlanta brings the essence of street music to the masses.

The night has emcee Mojo Swagger setting the pace for the revolving door of sorts with 30 plus hip-hop artists dropping their version of 16 lyric bars over DJ Dainja’s beats. The artist structure has each performance leading into the next, bringing the mix tape running time to one hour. The entire event recorded live to audio and video, holding the sound and image in real time.

Not only is the release party a night to be remembered, the studio record itself is as well. Beat Studies Productions founder B.J. Alden explains, “This album and release party knows no boundaries. We’re crossing every line of ethnicities and gender with a potpourri of talent.” He continues, “The concept is the sum of the parts is better as a whole.”

Artists included in the session are: Manchild, 4-ize, Senor Kaos, StaHHr, Flux and Killa Kalm of Binkis Recs, SIMP, Q-San, Kel and Jay Quest of Alpha Noise, Ekundayo, Tribe 1 and Adan of The Remnant, Boog Brown, Mic Masters, Punchlyne, MOJO Swagger, Dillon, Joe Billz, Tommy Lee Soul, Adrift Da Belle, Pro Wonder, Ozy Reigns, Jarren Benton, Jackzilla, Rita J, Kato, Sen. Bret Boogie, Arablak, Khalid Nile, and Skinny-C.

About 16 Bars of Gold
Vol. 1, released in Fall 2008, brought together top Atlanta artists including the late great Jax, as well as local favorites Chief Justice, SIMP, Ekundayo, Dillon, Senor Kaos, and more.

Artistdata.com Wins a Chicago Innovation Award!!

2009-10-28T15:11:00.001-07:00

An Update from Brenden Mulligan of Artistdata.com:

Before leaving for CMJ last week, I was invited to the Chicago Innovation Awards ceremony. As most of you know, ArtistData was a finalist for the innovation awards, so I was happy to be invited to the ceremony. By the end of the night, ArtistData had been awarded a Chicago Innovations People's Choice Award!

This is a huge accomplishment for one reason: the award is about you guys, our users. It was your amazing feedback and support that won ArtistData this award. It is your constant feedback and ideas that help ArtistData continue to innovate and bring great products to market. It is YOU that inspires us to keep working, keep pushing, and keep making musicians' lives easier and careers more manageable.

This award isn't for ArtistData. It's for the incredible community of music creators and supporters who use ArtistData. So thank you for and congratulations on being a part of this great accomplishment! As I've said many times before, you guys rock. Let's go do a lot more!

Also, sorry for the silence and inactivity lately. There's a lot going on behind the scenes and I'm excited to release some info about it all soon!

I've copied everyone's feedback to blog post!

Honestly, thank you again.

The 1st National Black TEEN Empowerment Expo -NYC

2009-10-26T08:08:00.001-07:00

A message from R. Lee Gordon:

Good eve and great blessings.

As we continue to connect to our many wonderful youth stakeholders, TEENS and a caring community-at-large, we are also creating greater awareness and excitement about The 1st National Black TEEN Empowerment Expo in August, 2010, by hosting as many as nine more events throughout NYC. This outreach is vital to building better communities for children.

Our next local event is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, December 12, 2009, and we’re currently considering several venues in Brooklyn and Harlem. We also plan to host a “TEEN Hall Meeting” with The Hunts Point Beacon Program in The Bronx. I humbly hope we can, on a smaller scale, replicate the expo by incorporating the following elements into many of these events:

1. Following the inspiring success of our first local event, “DreamSong”, we’d like to continue a tradition of incredible performers, yet, this time, introduce talented teen performers to the stage.

2. Offer vending and exhibitor opportunities to individuals and / or groups primarily in fashion, art, music or education.

3. Incorporate a networking function so we can all get to better know and better support one another.

4. Involve TEENS in as much of this effort, and all the above, as possible. (Your ideas about how to best do this are appreciated.)

5. Share information about the NBTEE and its initiatives.

We will be hosting a local meeting on Wednesday, October 28th, from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m., at the Law Offices of Figeroux & Associates, 26 Court Street, Suite 701, in downtown Brooklyn. You can take the 2 or 3 to Borough Hall or the A or C to Jay Street / Boro Hall.

Please confirm your attendance and / or the role you can play in this effort with again, as always, my great gratitude.

If you’re not in the NYC area, please share information about the expo with stakeholders and concerned citizens in your community. It will take the best of us who are willing to work on behalf of all of us to build brighter futures for our people and planet.

Also, every Thursday at 7:00 PM, I’ll be co-hosting a new weekly radio show, "Our Community, Our Children", to air on www.allblackradio.com. We’re hoping this show becomes a meaningful form of outreach for us to discuss ways we can all be involved in creating more positive outcomes for our children. Each show will feature people and groups who work with our youth, important dialogue with TEENS, and positive entertainers and entertainment. If you'd like to be a part of “Our Community, Our Children”, let me know.

Together, we will show the world how smart, creative and beautiful our TEENS truly are.

Join us for lively

conversation, special guests -- and very special teens -- on The Black TEEN Empowerment Radio Show every Sunday at 3:00 p.m. Listen in any time at www.blacktalkmediaproject.org.

Video: "What's Peace" by Jasiri X

2009-10-13T11:13:00.000-07:00

"What's Peace" by Jasiri X

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA3V-VS6XwU

Jasiri X's videos should really appeal to everyone who has ever complained about the lyrics and/or negative images in Hip-hop music.

Well now is your chance to finally do something about it. Play this hot video featuring Jasiri X's ill lyrical skills, searing commentary about the meaning of peace and the audacity of giving out a "Peace Prize" in a world so violent. Turn it up and bob yo head, the beat is another banger from Pittsburgh's own legendary super producer Black Czer! Then forward this email to all your friends and tell them how incredible' it is! Then Tweet it, share it on Facebook and Myspace, Go the full distance and text it also!

The more people that play it, the more people will like it and just maybe, we can start a trend towards intelligent, conscious Hip-hop that isn't corny or stiff.

How about we give it a try and really send it to your lists, like so many people regularly send out ignorant, woman exploiting, self hating, murder music.

Jasiri X, it's Hip-hop that won't eat your brain!

One Hood

2009-09-26T12:07:00.001-07:00

19

One thing I love about broadcasting WordSound Radio is each show and segment takes on a form all its own. Last night, WordSound Radio went live with WordGroove 3.0, the third installment of our two hour spoken word and performance poetry mixtape, and brought you the best in spoken word hip hop soul! This broadcast was particularly special because it was inspired by a friends pure ignorance of the genre. Each of the four sets were mixed with the intention to answer his question to me: "What is poetry?" This, he asked because the words for poetry, poet and poem does not exist in his native language. I was charged with the task of defining, of explaining, of introducing, almost designing the concept of this classic art form, a monumental feat, which I cannot begin to tackle on my own, but was accomplished with the help of some of the most profound, prolific, and powerful poets and artists in the industry of Spoken Word. If you missed this live broadcast, checkout the streaming archive!
