Dead Prez All Music Guide Biography

The Florida-based political rap duo Dead Prez consists of Stic.man and M-1, a pair of rappers inspired by revolutionaries from Malcolm X to Public Enemy. They immersed themselves in political and social studies as they forged their own style of hip-hop. They went on to work with Big Punisher on his 1998 album Capital Punishment and released singles like 1998’s “Police State with Chairman Omali” and 1999’s “It’s Bigger Than Hip-Hop.” Their debut album, Lets Get Free, was released in early 2000. A two-volume mixtape project — Turn off the Radio: The Mixtape, Vol. 1 and Turn off the Radio: The Mixtape, Vol. 2: Get Free or Die Tryin’ — followed in 2002 and 2003, boasting tracks and new productions, and their proper studio follow-up, RBG: Revolutionary But Gangsta, appeared in 2004. Two years later the group collaborated with the three remaining members of the Outlawz for Can’t Sell Dope Forever, followed shortly after by Soldier 2 Soldier, a joint record between Stic.man and Young Noble. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

Kev Choice hits us with his “debut” video, “I Don’t Walk, I Fly,” the artist’s self-proclaimed motto. The song was recorded during his “Daily Dosage” series — also known as his song a day series — for which he completed and uploaded 60 songs in 60 days made available to fans as free downloads on his website during that period.

The video for “I Don’t Walk, I Fly,” captures Kev Choice in his most comfortable and natural settings — in the studio, on the piano, on the mic, and out and about soaking up the vibes and beauty of his hometown Oakland, California and the San Francisco Bay Area. On the meaning of the song, Kev Choice expresses “I don’t have time to get to my goals and destinations in life, its time to fly!”

Receiving accolades from fans and media alike, the SF Weekly paper reported that the series “gives Bay Area concerns a beat” and “remains the Bay’s dedicated resource for musical coverage of timely events and attitudes…”

This incredibly well-rounded MC/Pianist/Producer also has an impressive resume as an in-demand Keyboardist for Dwele, The Martin Luther Experience, Too $hort, Goapele and (formerly) Lauryn Hill and DJ Quick. His resume demonstrates that he is on a mission to continuously take his craft to a higher level and elevate his game.

“I Don’t Walk, I Fly” will be released as part of the compilation album “Best of Daily Dosage PT. 1″ to be released later this year.

[POLITICS/RELIGION] Church ‘praying’ about plan to burn Quran

A church planning to burn copies of the Quran on Sept. 11 is ‘definitely praying’ about the controversial demonstration, its pastor said after Gen. David Petraeus warned it would put in danger the lives of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan.

In an interview on CNN, Terry Jones, of the Dove World Outreach Church in Gainesville, Fla., appeared to suggest church members might decide not to go ahead with the controversial demonstration.

Jones, author of a book called “Islam is of The Devil,” told CNN’s “American Morning” show that the burning was designed to send a message to radical Islam.

But when he was asked about the views of Petraeus, the U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan, Jones said: “We are actually very, very concerned of course; we are taking the general’s words serious. We are continuing to pray about the action on September 11. But we don’t know, how long do we back down?”

Pressed on whether this meant the church might decide not to burn the Quran, Jones told the show: “We have firmly made up our mind, but at the same time, we are definitely praying about it.”

..”We are weighing the thing that we are about to do. What it possibly could cause, what is our actual message, what are we trying to get across?” he added.

A member of the church, Fran Ingram, told msnbc.com that they had a “stack of about 150″ Qurans, which she said had been sent from across the world. “We are expecting to burn about 200 at least,” she said.

“I think we should go ahead personally,” Ingram added. “That’s what I think. I stand with the pastors. We need to go ahead with it.”

However, asked about how she would feel if the church decided to abandon the event, she told msnbc.com: “I would be in agreement … not like a puppet on a string … I believe in the word of God. We are hearing what God wants us to do.”

She said “a few of the pastors” would burn the Qurans on a field outside the church, while she and other members of the congregation remained inside. “They are going to take the risk,” Ingram said.

Jones, who runs the small, evangelical Christian church with an anti-Islam philosophy, says he has received more than 100 death threats and has started wearing a .40-caliber pistol strapped to his hip.

On Monday, Petraeus said the Quran-burning event would be exploited by the Taliban. The White House also spoke out against the plan as “un-American” and said it would put American diplomats and travelers at risk.

“It could endanger troops and it could endanger the overall effort,” he said. “It is precisely the kind of action the Taliban uses and could cause significant problems. Not just here, but everywhere in the world, we are engaged with the Islamic community.”
