SUMO Y LOS HERMANOS DEL ALMA Track Released – King of Creation

Music is something that people come to for several different reasons, but one of the major reasons is to be entertained. That music helps you escape after a long day, with a sound that grabs you and makes things in life more exciting with a special sound that thrills. That is what shines about this new must-hear song from SUMO Y LOS HERMANOS DEL ALMA called “King of Creation.”

SUMO Y LOS HERMANOS DEL ALMA’s “King of Creation.” is a major anthem that stops time for the listener to get lost in this true experience of the music. It stands out musically, as well visually with a masterful video that brings the vision to life in a special way, to make sure we can enjoy this piece of art, in its full vision.

Since its creation in the late 90s, we have seen Sumo roam various territories: electro, soul, funk, hip-hop, dub… Loyal to their initial state of mind, the group made up of brothers Alex (guitar, vocal) and Fred Sumi (bass, production) doesn’t box itself into one specific style, embarking instead on a constant musical odyssey.

For its 6th opus “Oya”, the journey continues by exploring new horizons, rhythms and sounds. The group exiled itself to Cuba, where two tours (Habanarte festival, Cubadisco in 2017) had brought about striking and heartfelt friendships.

In this new adventure, Sumo met his Cuban soul brothers to become: “Sumo y Los Hermanos del Alma”. The result is both fascinating and fulminating. “Oya” is an afro-cuban rock record… a kind of UFO with multiple sounds: afro-beat, rock-fusion, latin-jazz, afro-cuban soul voices.

This album was conceived in complete immersion: two weeks of recording sessions in Havana surrounded by a tribe of the top Cuban musicians and singers. Oya is a captivating album whose numerous and varied levels of listening will never tire music lovers hungry for novel discoveries and explorations.

Incidentally, it is no coincidence that the album brings together such an eclectic assortment of musicians: Chilean drummer Ramon Plaza, who has accompanied the group since 2013; legendary Jamaican reggae singer Wayne Paul; percussion player Dunieski Baretto, pianist Maykel Gonzalez and trumpeter Eduardo Bringuez, all three members of the mythical salsa group “Pupy y los que son son”; singers Los Niches, who spearheaded the new Cuban rap scene; and finally, Nelson Labrada, singer and guitarist from renowned rock group, “Miel con Limon”.

Wayne’s stories are profound, his voice full of soul. In conjunction with the two brothers Alex and Fred Sumi from Geneva he created songs that reach high into the sky and in the same time plunge into deep bass waves. The lyrics spread confidence and let us dream of a better future that holds the answers to the pressing questions of a society in an increasingly complex and disoriented world.

Meek Mill Breaks His Silence, Shutting Down Ransom Claims With Fierce Response

HonkMagazine

In the ever-turbulent world of hip-hop, rumors can spread like wildfire. Meek Mill found himself at the center of a sensational claim this time. Music figure Luce Cannon recently alleged that the Philadelphia rapper was kidnapped by members of the L.A. Crips a few years back, with Rick Ross purportedly shelling out $50,000 to secure his release. But Meek wasn’t having any of it. The rapper, who’s no stranger to controversy and online scrutiny, swiftly took to Twitter on Tuesday night to shut down the claims with his signature unfiltered style.

“This guy must be using a story to confuse his indictment,” Meek wrote, suggesting that Cannon might be twisting the narrative for his benefit. “I never seen him B4. I woulda put him to ‘gods test’ on the spot.” In true Meek Mill fashion, the rapper stood his ground, making it clear that he’s not one to be manipulated or intimidated. “I never even met buddy, but I don’t ‘negotiate’ with fake thugs,” he continued. With a touch of bravado, Meek added, “Ask him what chain because all my chains some sh*t lol watches all 300k up vibes.” The statement, dripping in confidence, further fueled his refusal to be reduced to a pawn in someone else’s narrative.

Luce Cannon’s story stemmed from a conversation on DJ Akademiks’ Off Record podcast, where he claimed Meek was targeted for talking “real reckless” on Twitter. Ironically, it was once again on Twitter where Meek responded, reminding everyone that he’s not afraid to defend his name in public view. It’s not the first time Meek Mill has faced controversy, and it likely won’t be the last. But if there’s one thing the rapper has made clear, he won’t stand for fabricated stories that attempt to tarnish his reputation. As fans rally behind him and await further responses, Meek Mill’s defiant stance reminds him that he refuses to be silenced in a world filled with noise.
