World View is the first 100% for-charity global hip hop album by rapper, activist and sociologist Awkword. Alongside Yoh of thetapedeck.net, we spend some time with Awkword discussing suicide in hip hop, threats of imperialism, Aaron Swartz, Chuck D and more. Joined alongside Yoh of thetapedeck.net, we dive into an insightful conversation ranging from his mom liking his music, what countries he would like to visit, working with over 100 rappers and much more.
This is nowhere near a hip hop song but I’m into jazz and this guy is a jazz artist and I happen to like the track. Plus, every year, I give you all a non hip hop list so, while this won’t really be a regular occurrence here on DEHH, I’m posting this up because I think this is a pretty good song. Give it a listen below. Julia Easterlin sounded added a lot of emotion to this record. I have no idea what it is she’s forgetting but damn, it must be something important and painful.

This year, they dropped a mixtape, ILLanta, and a six-song EP with Scion A/V titled The Ill Experiment. We talk about that project, the ILLANTA tape, their first performance in hip hop and more in this interview.

Moonchild is one of the best groups I have discovered in the last few years. They are so good. Here is the video to their new song “All The Joy” off their upcoming album. And no, I really don’t care that this isn’t a hip hop song. This is such good music, people need to hear it and as long as I have this forum, I will do my best to support. Oh yea, and check out the DJ Jazzy Jeff and James Poyser remix to their “Be Free” single from 2012.
