New Music:: Nex Millen “Who Is Mumia Abu Jamal”

nexmillen — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 10:59:37 +0000

Respect The Culture, LLC, a Philadelphia-based record label and multi-media company, has released Nex Millen/Retrospective’s album, “Who is Mumia Abu Jamal?” The iTunes download features the spoken word of controversial death row inmate and political prisoner Mumia Abu Jamal.

Nex Millen’s alternative, soulful beats accompany the spoken word of Jamal, recorded from death row at Huntingdon State Prison and S.C.I. Greene. The album also includes guest appearances by Assata Shakur, Allen Ginsberg & Jello Biafra.

“Millen’s latest effort features his skillful production and a message in his music – the message of death row inmate Mumia Abu Jamal,” “From the haunting keyboards of ‘To Be Like Malcolm, A Message To Mumia’ to the funky, up-tempo sound of ‘A Bright Shining Hell’ to the subtle scratching in ‘Statement of the Facts’ and ‘Legalized Crime’ to the moving strings of ‘The Depth of Our Courage,’ Millen’s beats artfully support the powerful lyrics without detracting from the purpose of the piece – to allow listeners to hear the voice of Jamal and his supporters – many for the first time.”

Mumia Abu Jamal is an award-winning journalist who exposed police violence against minority communities. Imprisoned in 1982 for the alleged murder of a Philadelphia policeman, Jamal maintains his innocence, citing the lack of evidence, racial bias in jury selection, improper tactics by the prosecution and ineffective counsel from the public defender at trial as well as new forensic and other evidence in his defense.

During his twenty plus years of incarceration, Jamal has published numerous recorded and written essays regarding his political and social beliefs via www.prisonradio.org. All of the proceeds from the sales of this download will be donated to The International Concerned Friends & Family of Mumia Abu Jamal.

“Who is Mumia Abu Jamal?” is available for purchase at iTunes, Rhapsody, MSN Music, Sony Connect, Verizon Wireless and other music sites online.

nexmillen — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 13:07:26 +0000

Respect to all my new friends on Reverbnation, Twitter, Facebook and Soundcloud. Thank you for the support. Keep tuning in and tell a friend.

This week is the return of the 45 Dig. I would like to share a few timeless gems from the collection pass down to me by my aunt and uncles at the early age of 5. These records are not in the best of condition, but have the greatest sentimental value of any other records I own. They have been played over and over again before, during and after my childhood, magically transporting me back to a time when my aunt and I danced happily in my grandparents basement to them. So let’s get dusty. Enjoy /////Millen

New Music:: NXPW “Get Me One” Remix f. 2ew Gunn Ciz and Zilla Rocca

nexmillen — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 14:17:56 +0000

Nex Millen and Poesh Wonder are NXPW. NXPW have been working together since 2006 on Poesh Wonder’s “Like This-The Album” and 2007′s “No You Haven’t And You Never Will Again.” This led to more stellar collaborations – “Friday Night,” “Check This Sound,” and “Troop Song”. After noticing the popularity of their songs together, Poesh and Millen decided to begin work on a full album together. NXPW “The Doctrine”. The timeless music created for “The Doctrine” is a word for word, beat for beat ode to the culture. Demonstrating that it’s more to hip hop culture than just stardom. The culture of Hip Hop represents family and community, peace and tranquility. And most of all being in harmony with one another. NXPW speak on this, trading verses and tracks back and forth in a Jaylib type style. These two hip hop officinatos are putting it down for the generations. NXPW lead off single is “Get Me One” and “Get Me One” Remix featuring 2ew Gunn Ciz and Zilla Rocca of 5 o’clock Shadowboxers. Available at http://nexmillen.bandcamp.com Purchase the Limited Edition CD with bonus tracks a portion of the proceeds will be donated to “The Save The Children Organization” For more info on NXPW contact: http://reverbnation.com/nexmillen http://reverbnation.com/poeshwonder

Gulf Oil Spill:: How You Can Help Coastal Animals In Danger

nexmillen — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 11:58:43 +0000

Reserched by Jane@Petfinders.com
Rescue teams are working to contain and clean up the oil, but they can’t do it alone. U.S. News & World Report has a great list of 10 Things You Can Do to Help the Gulf Coast Clean the Oil Spill. Here are a few that directly impact animals (read the full article here):

•Volunteer. You can register online in Louisiana or Florida or sign up on Oil Spill Volunteers to be matched with a group that needs volunteers. Any and all help is needed, including wildlife cleanup.

•Trigger a donation. Buy a bottle of Dawn dishwashing detergent, then visit the Dawn Web site to activate a $1 donation by Dawn to the Marine Mammal Center and the International Bird Rescue Research Center.

•Report animals in distress. If you’re in one of the affected areas and see an animal in trouble, don’t approach it — call the hotline for injured-animal sightings at 1-866-557-1401 and leave a message with the animal’s exact location.

•Give money. If you live outside the coastal region, you can still make a big difference for wildlife by supporting the groups on site. The National Wildlife Federation is one of many organizations accepting donations for coastal relief.

•Send hair (yours and your pet’s). Have you brushed your dog or cat recently? Matter of Trust is collecting donations of hair, fur and nylons that it uses to soak up the oil.
