Freeway “She Makes Me Feel Alright” (produced by Jake One)

I’m pretty excited about this one. Jake One and Freeway are two of my favorites, a pair hip hop’s underrated talents who’ve always flown just a little bit under the radar. Right now, I can’t think of a better match up of both energy and consistency in a producer/MC team-up. Best of both worlds….

Freeway sets out to stimulate the Hip Hop industry by signing into law the Hip Hop Recovery and Reinvestment Act with the release of The Stimulus Package. Produced entirely by veteran G-Unit producer Jake One, The Stimulus Package showcases some of Freeway’s most dynamic and engaging work to date. Since his breakout Roc-A-Fella debut Philadelphia Freeway in 2003, which achieved gold status, Freeway has been regarded as “your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper”. The collaboration of heavyweights Freeway & Jake One makes The Stimulus Package already one of the year’s most anticipated releases.

The purpose of my new video is two-fold, to get the song more shine and also to raise funds for and awareness of The Remix Project(www.theremixproject.ca). Be on the look out for my new album with DJ Jazzy Jeff coming in the new year!   -Ayah

Fault Lines- Rio: Olympic City pt. 1 & 2 (video)

Caught between the coexisting worlds of widespread, abject poverty, and a robust and growing economy, the questions surrounding just how Rio de Janeiro will handle its deep rooted domestic challenges in time to host the 2016 Olympics are many. Fault Lines is a great investigative journalism show produced by Al Jazeera English that regularly explores stories that have been neglected by mainstream news, and its here that I’ve found an episode focused on Rio’s rush to clean up its Favelas in time to host the upcoming Olympics.
