Download: "Verses from the Abstract" (Full Remake) feat Mishoo The Drumkit & Vida Jafari

First of all sorry for my late post. I was on a business trip and didn't have a decent internet connection at my hotel and no quality time to do some research.

I got back today and decided to release this song which was supposed to be released on a ATCQ tribute mixtape at www.kevinnottingham.com Unfortunately, we didn't make it to the deadline. However, I think this Full Remake deserves a solo release since Vida Jafari, who sang the chorus, Dj Madsen who produced the beat and me spent hours producing the track. The lyrics were written and performed by Q Tip and the original chorus was sung & written by Vinia Mojica.

Here is the original track:

Here you see Ari freestyling with his live band called Good Group.


"Geschlossen oder offen" by Ariginal
He's rocking a kellerfever shirt. I founded the Kellerfever Hip Hop event (in 2006) with one of my best friends who now lives in Brazil. Ari runs the club now. Much love bro.


Introducing my homie, fellow MC and one of my best friends Ari Chicago aka Ariginal.
Ari is one of my favorite MCs. His lyrics (in German) are inspiring, his delivery is on top and he never fails to satisfy the crowd at a live gig.

This download introduces the MC himself. Further releases with his life band Good Group and Lingua Loca are coming soon. Don't sleep on one of Germany's best MCs!

"Beautiful inside and outside!" Impressions of Russia

It's been awhile since I fed my daily readers with Mishoo's thoughts, inspiration and music. I've been traveling around Europe, visited family and friends in Germany and spent my Orthodox Christmas in Russia. First I here want to say much love to my friends in Germany Nico, Madsen, Ari, Joseph, Dominic aka Schraenk, Amin, Ibou aka Portformat, my man Se.Po. in Brazil, Holg, Markus, Olli, .. for being the good souls you are.

I flew back to Finland where I currently work after New Years Eve. Two days later, I was invited by my gf parents to spend Orthodox Christmas in a small Russian village 50 km behind the Finnish border - In Russia over 70 % of population are Russian Orthodox Christians (wikipedia.org) and they celebrate Christmas on the sixth of January - The family treated me like a king. We ate and drank four days long. To be honest, I have never experienced such a wonderful hospitality. I now am a fan of Russian cuisine with its fish delicacies, bakery and chocolate tradition. Mari and I also went sightseeing around town. As you may see in many Russian towns on the countryside, most apartments look old from the outside for our standards but, once you get inside the flats, you see no difference from other European countries. It seems like Russia's government isn't spending much of the tax money on infrastructure outside the big cities like St Petersburg or Moscow.  At this point I want to thank the Pustovoyt family in Russia and my lady of course. Greetings also to Aleksey, Valentina, Ksusia. Also big shout out to one of Russia's finest producers Alexandr aka Al Yok for the great music! check out Al Yok at www.myspace.com/alyokbeez You are beautiful inside and outside!
