Solidarity featuring E-Rise of El Vuh

Land of the lost the cost so high/ I wanna be me but they're feedin me lies/ ficticious promises of pie in the sky/ working so hard on our own genocide/ GENOCIDE, GENOCIDE, GENOCIDE, GENOCIDE
Most don't remember their tribal ways/ or the price their ancestors paid/ follow every trend cuz they're mental slaves/ hunger all day but don't know what they crave/ it's GENOCIDE, GENOCIDE, GENOCIDE, GENOCIDE

Bury My Heart At Wounded ME

Lyrics

We Protest this whole mess, we go east, we go west. Police protect those corporate connects.  Canadian corporals  blatantly controlled for the states economical debts.  Let the rubber bullets spray, elders getting pepper sprayed. Eagle feather getting waved. dogs tethered to there chains never sever up my veins, the river on the plains,  you bring the fire we bring the braves. 
Just like Oka, the elite thugs will smoke ya.  Put a rubber bullet to your chest. These peaceful protestors,  praise from ancestors we blessed. Universal law bring the justice yes! cant cuff this, judge this, just this truth when I bust this. One off my bucketlist, talk this and cause a ruckus.


RUBBER BULLETS (I Feel The Changes)

This track is to make aware of the unjustified actions of a police officer in Seattle. On August 20, 2010 a woodcarver by the name of John T Williams was shot 4 times by officer Ian Birk who was not criminally charged by law enforcement.
Here is a link to a video that some one made with this track.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX8RD4C8WFU&amp;feature=relatedHere is a link to the download of this song...share it with everyone you know.http://www.mediafire.com/?4y1ey0ecywv8qt0

You Cannot Touch My Hair

Smudge Away ft. TACTiLE KiLLSPLENTY

This track is a interview of a Grandmother set to music done by a member of our collective, Freetruth. He produced this track to honor his ancestor's struggle. It tells the story of the Bloody Island Massacre when his people were slaughtered. It is one of the stories that comprises what Antithesis is made of and what we come from. When we resist it is not for fame, glory, money or accolades. We struggle to honor the memories of those who came before us and to never let our people forget what was done and being done to us! Fame is NOT our goal, fortune is NOT our destiny. Prepare for SURVIVAL!

Sometimes our little Sisters and Brothers step into some dangerous territory and as older siblings we have to step in and intervene. Sometimes it goes well and sometimes it can be harsh. But the thing we hope our younger loved ones recognize it that it's all done OUT OF LOVE!

Olmeca has teamed up with the talented multi-instrumentalist and singer for Chicano Batman Bardo Martinez, to bring you “Relo,” an interpretation of Los Pasteles Verdes classic version first recorded in Lima, Peru 1974.  “Relo” is a mesh of Olmeca’s introspective poetry about the beauty of remembering and holding close those experiences most valuable to you. Bardo Martinez lends his nostalgic voice along with guitar licks that are sure to take you to that era.  The song is mixed and engineered by Eduardo Arena (Chicano Batman) who also adds soulful bass notes that bring a hip hop-recuerdo song to modern times. 

“Relo” is produced by Olmeca and Drop-Beats and co-produced by Bardo Martinez and Eduardo Arenas.   “Relo” will be available on “Brown Is Beautiful” album coming soon.  For now, listen to the preview here!


LYRICS:

Chorus:
Relo’ no me apuntes tus dedos
Porque me atrapa tu pulso 
En realidad, es mi corazón 
Que me palpita ahora!

1st verse:
El tierno abrazo de memorias infantiles 
juveniles son los tiempos que recordare en mi descanso.  
No seguí el camino marcado por el destino, 
rompí la esquema y por esto sigo vivo…pues… 
yo que quisiera quedarme en el ayer, 
volver a ser un niño sin mucho que hacer, 
jugar a tu la traes hasta el anochecer. 
Convivios de familias memorias que sostener. 
Ir al panteón dar gracias al creador 
yo recordar las vidas cuyos tiempos suspendidos fueron 
y hoy sus brazos de reloj marcan tiempo eterno 
siguen vivos tras los pensamientos de queridos.  
Recuerdos del ayer! Me has escuchado decir, 
que si yo voy a pedir, seria un nuevo amanecer.  
Día de los Muertos cuando era pa’ los muertos.  
Tiempos delicados que requieren ser perpetuos.

Bridge:
Antes de despedirme irme con el viento
Dame un abrazo fuerte mi amor
Reloj te pido suspender un poco el tiempo
Para abrigarme con tu calor
Recuerdos del ayer / recuerdos del ayer
Y con eso me iré para siempre
nuevo amanecer un día un nuevo amanecer 
y por eso me olvidare de la muerte
yo que quisiera quedarme en el ayer

2nd verse:
Antes de despedirme irme con el viento, 
Para sentir un beso de ella de nuevo
Para sentir un fuerte abrazo de mis hijos
reloj te pido suspender un poco el tiempo.  
El irremediable dolor me hace esclavo, 
un suspiro un trago cambio quiero ser sano.  
De sus nombres me eh acordado 
Yo reconozco... 
un esclavo de la mente no tiene que estar encadenado.  
Deja recordar así pa’ sentir 
despedir el nudo en la garganta y decir, 
aquí estoy…amor estoy feliz…
es tu memoria que me hace dejar de sufrir.  
El rosto de mi pasado suspende el tiempo. 
Innumerables horas que sopla el viento. 
Pensamientos de mi ultimo momento en mi pueblo?...
Tiempos de mi vida que requieren ser perpetuos.  

Chorus:
Relo’ no me apuntes tus dedos
Porque me atrapa tu pulso 
En realidad, es mi corazón 
Que me palpita ahora!

Outro:
Recuerdos del ayer
Hoy y mañana recordare

OPENING CEREMONY

Holy Wars & Genocide. A song about not only the enemy occupying our homelands but about the enemy we harbor within ourselves. The assimilation they injected in us through boarding schools and organized religion. We must fight our battles on many frontlines but we will win so long as ONE of us refuses to give in. This song is dedicated to all of you who aren't capable of giving in and refuse to succumb to the lies.

LYRICS

I hold the light up x3

I was a lonesome bird, flying through the sky with a dying crying earth
Calling for the light, falling in the night, I was on my search. The world was filled
with darkness the furthest in flight I could not find a place to perch. My wings were tired and hurt. The fire did burn, in this heart in this urn. Rested a dead bird who put life into words. When this raven thought of saving the earth the flame became a boy shape shifting to break the curse, he found grace in his feathers, turned the page and wrote a verse. About changing the weather and made better from worse. This letter gathered together delivered the message to her. Mother nature, I wrote on this paper, to take the daughter of the cosmos… away from the all mosts and gave her unconditional love and it saved her from the lost hopes! the cost of gold is not worth the tears of her soul! 

I Hold The Light Up

Indigenous Resistance has just launched a new full length 12-track cd IR25 Dubversive. This album has tracks "Ivere...The Land," "Luana," and "Sacred Power Dr Das Ragga Mix" all featuring indigenous performers from the South Pacific, most notably from the Solomon Islands.

The roots reggae track "Luana" is sung totally in an indigenous language from the Solomon's and features singers Tohununo and Dublikkle One in a song dedicated to all children whose rights are being disrespected. 

"Ivere..the land" is about environmental devastation and is a collaboration between a US-based singer of black, indigenous and European ancestry, ChristianeD  and Olovotu, an indigenous composer and musician from the south pacific. Ace producer Soy Sos takes indigenous  instruments and beats recorded by Olovotu and adds his own personal touch to them to create a swirling dance floor groove that mixes chants with Christiane D mezmerising lyrics and vocal styling. There is a video filmed in Brazil in the Amazon for this track that you can watch it and read about  it how it was made here: http://dubreality.wordpress.com/2010/12/16/video-for-ivere-opening-trak-of-ir-25-dubversive-cd/ Christiane D created her own video describing how the collaboration was done totally across the internet and how the lyrics of the piece came about and you can watch it here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp6NWsYtLTg and read the blog post here: http://dubreality.wordpress.com/2010/12/16/an-ir-dubversive-insight-into-trak-ivere-with-christiane-d/

The track "Sacred Power Dr Das Ragga Mix" features vocals from Solomon Islands performer Tohununo alongside traditional singing from indigenous people in Canada within a reggae ragga riddim created by the founder and bassist of Asian Dub Foundation, Dr Das. You can watch a video of this trak here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2J1CAW7YPq4

"This Land Is Not For Sale..." is about Atenco, a classic land-rights struggle. For some time, IR had been aware of the siege of Atenco and had been following the news through its direct and underground channels. When Asian Dub Foundation contacted us about working on a collaboration around this issue, it made perfect sense to us. Land rights are the center of many indigenous struggles and IR has done tracks & grafitti projects related to this matter. With tracks on recent IR releases, we have hoped to illuminate the independence movement in West Papua, the The Free West Papua Movement (OPM), the plight of the Krikati people of Brasil, or the Minga Indigenia of Colombia. This new collaboration was created through the internet with musical mixes, speech fragments, and ideas flying back and forward in the digital domain. IR's network of dubversive members working in shadows across the Americas from Peru to Colombia, made their contributions by editing, transcribing, translating and recordings. These were relayed via the net to ADF in the UK. 

This is the 25th release on the IR label which over the last 6 years has done numerous collaborations with indigenous performers from the South Pacific doing collaborations solely through the internet which linked musicians like ADF and Adrian Sherwood with performers in the South Pacific. In fact the first 7-inch vinyl, IR2, released by IR was a track for the Free West Papua movement.

Sacred Power [Dr Das Ragga Mix]

Our last album was considered politically charged. For this one the direction seems to be examining where we are as Native people WITHOUT the Candy Coating of denial that most of us are hiding behind. In examining where we are some of us have found cultural fraud, cultural pimping and "leaders" who steal from the people they claim to protect. This all happens while our youth engage in behaviors that often times lead them into DEATH. This is our war cry to awaken the people and motivate our youth into action, This Is....

This Is...

This song tends to be the one that most people want to hear and want a copy of so here you go! Download and enjoy. We made this as an effort to balance out the misogynistic nature that seems to permeate Hip Hop. This attitude towards women is not ours nor of our culture. So we offer this song  as balance to unbalanced mentalities and behaviors.

Blessed Mother

We are a Native Hip Hop collective hoping to provide a voice to the voiceless, our beloved Native Peoples. Determined to balance out social injustice with words that will light a fire to the lies of the imposed empire that has provided us with nothing other than a genocidal agenda since it has arrived on our shores over 500 years ago.
