Peace.

Peace yall,

Needless to say we are witnessing an extraordinary event, one that many of us thought would never come…at least not in our lifetimes. A perfect storm of popular revolt and dictatorial arrogance has led our people to the brink of liberation.

My emotions are torn while following the events in Iran. While part of me wants to see the violence and turmoil end now that the youth/reformists have (to some extent) made their point, my overwhelming desire is that the uprising seizes on the momentum it has created and perseveres to reach a complete overthrow of the theocracy.

My conflicted emotions are due primarily to the fact that I am sitting safe and sound in California, thousands of miles away from the event I have been waiting my entire life to be a part of. It seems there is little else I can do other than participate in local demonstrations and follow the events in the media.

That is why I wanted to contribute something more to the movement, however insignificant. Iranians around the world and all those who support us must do everything they can raise awareness and show solidarity with our brothers/sisters risking their lives for their/our freedom.

Actually, this song was my father’s idea, because he said I should record something asap that could serve as inspiration to the youth in Iran. It looks like they have all the inspiration they need, but I pray this assures them that we are with them. More so, I hope this song can inspire English-speaking Iranians in the Western world by providing a bridge between their lives and what they are witnessing in Iran.

Please listen and forward to whoever you think this might make a difference for.

Peace,

I.Sheik

Baby talks about kissing his close friend wayne in the moufs n shit…

Next up, we have more Bay Area hood stars, Dem Hoodstarz. The crew gets their grown man on and lets you know what’s really hood. We also have dope indie filmmaker and producer  Joslyn Rose Lyons from Jog 9. You probably know her work from the Prince Ali/Rakaa Iriscience video she produced with MYX. Get to know her!

Finally we travel into the city of San Francisco and talk with the fine folks at Guitar Center. Audiophiles have been hitting GC up for years, and few people know Guitar Center started right here in the Bay Area. Check out what’s new and what the industry is using. All right here on Built from Skratch, your source for what’s what in hiphop today!

The original idea for Record Store Day was conceived by Chris Brown, and was founded in 2007 by Eric Levin, Michael Kurtz, Carrie Colliton, Amy Dorfman, Don Van Cleave and Brian Poehner as a celebration of the unique culture surrounding over 700 independently owned record stores in the USA, and hundreds of similar stores internationally.

This is the one day that all of the independently owned record stores come together with artists to celebrate the art of music. Special vinyl and CD releases and various promotional products are made exclusively for the day and hundreds of artists in the United States and in various countries across the globe make special appearances and performances. Festivities include performances, cook-outs, body painting, meet & greets with artists, parades, djs spinning records and on and on. Metallica officially kicked off Record Store Day at Rasputin Music in San Franscisco on April 19, 2008 and Record Store Day is now celebrated the third Saturday every April.

Record Store Day is currently managed by Eric Levin, Michael Kurtz, Scott Register, and Carrie Colliton. Folks wanting to contact Record Store Day are encouraged to email us at information@recordstoreday.com

NOTE:
A Record Store Day participating store is defined as a physical retailer whose product line consists of at least 50% music retail, whose company is not publicly traded and whose ownership is at least 70% located in the state of operation. (In other words, we’re dealing with real, live, physical, indie record stores—not online retailers or corporate behemoths).
