International Hip-Hop Comes Alive: Nomadic Wax Records set to release Volume 2 of “Diaspora: A Global Mixtape Movement”
“These kinds of global collaborations are so important because they showcase the revolutionary power of Hip-Hop culture,” says Diaspora producer DJ Nio, “They bring people together from around the globe – even if they speak different languages, have different religions, ideas, and backgrounds. Hip-Hop is a universal language without barriers. Like George Clinton said, it works toward building ‘one nation under a groove’.”
Following the critical success of Diaspora Mixtape Volume 1, Nomadic Wax Records is proud to announce the release of a second installment in the series. With unparalleled levels of innovation, Nomadic Wax’s second Diaspora Mixtape is something the global urban media market has never encountered. Nomadic Wax presents a broad variety of front line urban music from around the world, representing the genre’s growing presence in mainstream culture as well as its new stand alone capacity as a form of social and economic development.
Diaspora Mixtape Volume 2 is mixed by Filipino-American DJ Boo (Juggaknots, Eternia), audio mix and mastered by Dan Cantor (NotableProductions), and produced by Genovese DJ Nio (Zero Plastica, Basement UnderGround). Volume 2 features talent from Africa, Europe, North America, Asia and South America. A global evolution from Tony Touch’s legendary Power Cypha: 50 MCs mixtapes series, the Diaspora Mixtape brings together over 50 international Hip-Hop artists who contribute a 16 bar verse in their native tongue, showcasing the cultural, stylistic, and linguistic diversity of each region’s respective Hip-Hop scene.
The mixtape’s run time has been doubled to 50 minutes and, in an exclusive, behind-the-scenes move, a 30-minute video was added. Revealing details from the conception and production of “Diaspora Mixtape” including clips of each artist in their respective environment spitting their bars from the drop. Known for their work uniting international artists through media projects and cultural exchanges, Nomadic Wax has grown into one of the preeminent brands in global urban music and media.
“Hip-Hop has been around for over 30 years and has become a global phenomenon,” says DJ Boo, “For me, this project
is the perfect way of showcasing the power of Hip-Hop music and culture. Like in the US, international Hip-Hop has given young people a way to combine their traditional musical forms with a modern and global spin… rather then copying American Hip-Hop, they still retain their identities by performing in their native languages and creating music with subject matter relative to their own environments.”
“The next evolution of Hip-Hop culture has come from the global phenomenon,” says Diaspora emcee Hired Gun, “It only
makes sense that with its power to unite and give voice to the unheard and ignored, that hip hop would be the medium and means for people from many different languages, backgrounds and cultures to congregate together through word. sound. power.”
Diaspora: A Global Mixtape Movement [Volume 1] encompasses a strong blend of great production, flawless mixing, and perfect tempo. Through the artists’ impressive songs, the mixtape shows that several countries can live in perfect harmony and play well in the musical
spotlight. – Okay Player
