DJ Toshi is back with another installment of Classic Storm Radio on RadioHipHop.com, NukeKnocka.com’s Pirate Radio and Chambermusik Radio via Live365.com.  This week’s special guest is Brooklyn’s own, the enigmatic Afu-Ra, member of the world famous Gang Starr Foundation.

Afu-Ra burst on the scene in 1994 with an infamous appearance on Jeru The Damaja’s now classic debut album, The Sun Rises In The East.  Mental Stamina, and Afu-Ra’s verse, circulated the underground… building his reputation for complex, conscious lyrics laden with the science of Rastafarianism which quickly gained him the respect of the true hip-hop heads of that era.  It was certainly evident when his first album, Body Of The Life Force, was released boasting features from the likes of GZA, M.O.P., Smif-N-Wessun, Masta Killa and Ky-Mani Marley. Also featuring production from DJ Premier, DJ Muggs, True Master, Da Beatminerz and more… The album was a critical success and became an underground classic.

Afu-Ra crashes into the Classic Storm Studio and allows our listeners an inside peak at the life he has led since the beginning of his fame… The countries and cities around the world he has rested in, the stages he has graced and the affiliates he has accrued along the way.  He gives us an exclusive sneak preview of his upcoming album, Body Of The Life Force 2, which is set to release in February of 2012, bringing with him a few tracks that you won’t hear anywhere else! As well as a few spontaneous freestyles.. this is a show for the ages!!! Throw in new tracks from M.O.P., Jedi Mind Tricks, Nutso, N.O.R.E., Showbiz & AG, Staik Selektah, Sean Price, Termanology, Phife Dawg, Starvin’ B, Immortal Technique and more… and you have the hottest underground digital mixtape there is… Until next week!!!  So, download it, drop it into your iPod, iPhone, Android or whatever it is you use to inject music into your ears.

DJ Toshi’s Classic Storm Radio – Hosted by Che Broadway – Thursdays, 9pm – 10pm EST on NukeKnock.com’s Pirate Radio, RadioHipHop.com and Chambermusik Radio via Live365.com.

Alympik Global Multimedia has released the Above The Influence EP. Mixed by renown engineer Jamie Siegel at JRock Studios, NYC with production from Brok Bundlez, Apathy, Philmore, G-Sharp, Greg Edwards… featuring Chinua Hawk and a devastating piece by spoken word artist, ManChild.

Following the successful reception of the Broadway & Quincy (EP) Special Edition, Che has been working with a number of artists and producers who inspired him to craft this beautiful EP. The issues tackled range from the lack of authenticity in today’s hip-hop market to the true essence of a revolutionary. Che is not ordinary in his angle of attack or delivery of his flow, he mercilessly destroys any instrumental bestowed upon him no matter who the beatmaker. The Apathy produced Red Dawn has been the consensus favorite at listening parties, though each track has invoked demonstrative reactions everywhere they’ve been heard.

The overwhelming feedback received regarding Holes In The Fabric, a spoken word piece that appeared on 2008’s The Sangraal (EP) Special Edition, compelled Che to include something similar with this release. So, he reached out to legendary poet ManChild to collaborate on the track Revolution. It is a no-holds-barred attack on global sociopolitical systems and those who assist, enable and/or control them. A truly sizzling referendum that will certainly incite a rise, positive or negative, in those who hear it, much like its predecessor.

In retrospect, this EP is the first “new” release from Che since 2008’s mixtape, Bullets Over Broadway II, which thrust this MC into the known underground and began his “march on the industry.” Che Broadway is truly Above The Influence. For more information and press inquiries, CLICK HERE.
