First time to the South!!
God willing, I will be going to Brazil September 13th with UnderGround Horns for a music festival. I love to travel especially when its music related. It feels amazing. I celebrated last night with my music sister Luisa at Libation in Sullivan Hall. I had a blast,sweated and danced so much. I was surprised that I didnt end up cramping by the end of the night. . Today Im going to see my Queen and will be in extra bliss. Life is pretty good and im praying for my moms who will be having a knee surgery on Tuesday. Im hoping to send my good vibrations all the way to Georgia so that all goes well. BlissBless.

NegusWold + HipHopSavesLives= Kids Helping Kids(KHK).
Help us put this kids on Carnegie Hall stage to perform the songs they have been creating in the KHK program. Press play to see the campaign.
Click here to see the Carnegie Hall campaign. We need your help.
KHK is an after school program designed to give children the unique opportunity to provide clean water to children in Africa and Haiti while being creative through the beautiful art of hip hop.
We begin to educate the kids on Kool Herc, the founder of hip hop and his original mission. A mission that were to create a positive and creative outlet to promote peace and unity. A mission to offer his peers an alternative to the gang and street life in his neighborhood of south Bronx. Gangs quickly joined the movement and began to battle through break dancing and rhyming. Hip hop was saving lives from its conception.
We teach them that hip hop is a culture with 5 different elements: Djing, rhyming, break dancing, graffiti and fashion. What is one the radio is simply other rhyming element of hip hop. However the majority of it contradicts its original purpose by promoting negativity, hate and violence. Therefore this music is simply rap. Rap was around many years before hip hop in other forms such as nursery rhymes. Even the way we are taught to learn our ABC's is in a rhyme form. Rhyming is not hip hop.
HIP HOP IS A POSITIVE ARTISTIC CULTURE DESIGNED TO PROMOTE PEACE AND UNITY IN ITS COMMUNITY

NEW YEAR'S EVE 2012 PARTY FUNDRAISER | HIP HOP SAVES LIVES | NEGUSWORLD
January 10th is the start of LLamada A play in which Bomba, Salsa and Reggaeton converge to form a llamada/rally cry against the violence and abuse of women and children.
Im so thankful to be providing the percussion for this wonderful theater play which will run for two weeks at the Brooklyn's Iondale Theater. Londale theater is a church located on S.Oxford and it is
where slaves from the underground railroad would come thru that basement in Brooklyn(tours are available). Im crazy happy about performing there for the memory of our African ancestors.
We will be collaborating at Cumbe Dance studio Sunday Jan 6th to have a Bomba y Plena dance class with choreographer Milteri Tucker to promote the Bomba style and the play.

I look forward to working with all of you again in 13 which will be a big year
for all positive musician and entertainers because of the big shift of consciousness that's happening.
We all have a responsibility to spread the positive energy that is natural for us.
I wrote this classic boom bap Indigenous HipHop song as a gift to all of you who gave me the opportunity to shine with you'll. I look forward to working with people that I
haven't worked with as well. Its from the bottom and top of my heart, mind, body and soul.
Feel free to give it to someone that you are thankful for. I am thankful for the courage that you have gave me and the platform that you provided for me
to do my thing. I can't stress it enough how happy I am to be able to make a living being a musician when the music industry is not the same for Conscious music.
But like I always say WE HEAR THOUGH.
