Taken from 'Rich Medina presents Jump N Funk', released May 27th on vinyl, CD and digital formats. https://BBEmusic.lnk.to/JumpnFunk1
Starting life as a small New York event aimed at raising awareness for Fela Kuti's musical message, Rich Medina's Jump N Funk party has now been rocking dancefloors across the globe for over 15 years. Honouring Fela's contribution to music as well as his political and cultural legacy, Medina has made his events a platform to celebrate Afro-Life across the Black Diaspora. With guests such as Wunmi, the cast of Fela! On Broadway, Asiko and Antibalas providing captivating live performances, Jump N Funk is so much more than a club night. In creating this compilation to represent the spirit of his events, Rich Medina has chosen an eclectic selection of undeniably afro-tinged, unashamedly life-affirming music. With most tracks either referencing, sampling or inspired by the great man, the record also includes material by Fela himself, as well as son Seun Kuti and long-time band member Tony Allen the inventor of the afrobeat set drum syncopation that is equally as notorious as Fela and his message... The album's artwork has been lovingly created by Lemi Ghariokwu, the fabled Nigerian artist who designed some of Fela's most iconic covers. From the record's sleeve to the music contained within, Jump N Funk is a cultural artefact with one foot in the past, the other in the future. An echo of Fela's message: a reminder to celebrate, to empower, to progress.

Rich Medina presents Jump N Funk

Antibalas feat. Rich Medina & AfroStreet - Ja Joosh

Verse 1:
I'm mean like that
They speak about the peaks that i've reached since back
When I hit em in the cheek like smack
seeking methods to defeat the mac
I'm too stacked yo I speak the facts
They too whack yo they weak in fact
Lacking gusto to keep intact
The cut throat flow
Techniques impact when I tweak the track
To fit my mental
Now raise the treble to another level 'till I'm settled
Now I'll revel in my glory
Praised at the alter
Cuttin short your story
Like I'm a fucking author
Style so gory
Like a lamb to the slaughter
I'm sunnin' you like Maury homie
You are not the father!
But this mic to my name
Like Rick James to cocaine
Now bitch, I feel no pain
Cuz this game's my domain
Drive by's on slow lanes
I'm blasting like propane
Hittin noodles, lo mein
Your bitch give you no brain

Chorus:
I'm mean like that
They speak about the peaks that I've reached since back
When I hittem in the cheek like smack
(WHAT?!) [2x]
I'm Mean Like That [6x]

Verse 2:
And I'm so blessed
So who the fuck wanna test
You could be my guest
From the Middle East to the West
Prophet shittin' on the rest
Best wear a vest cuz I'm coming through your chest
Like hot lead
Full speed ahead
Yo i'm going for your bread
This ain't no illusion
I'm more than human, a mutant nuisance
a bug eyed and kinda cartoon-ish deadly opportunist
Got the blueprint for amusement
Making crowds lose it when they groovin as a unit
To the lucid movements of my tongue
Get sprung
Puff the Buddha
Cough out your lungs
Get zoned
Roll up bazookas
Get blown
Get A little looser
Every body like yo i never knew ya
Got the flow to get you stoned like medusa
Told em beggars can't be choosers
And chickens can't be roosters
Get used to this
Stayin true to this
Best believe I got the flow to bless you
Like the Eucharist

Chorus: ...

Ketchup (feat. Kicka DeLight)

Composer: Joelle Khoury | Alto: Fadia Tomb El-Hage | Conductor: Harout Fazlian | Chamber Music Ensemble “FRAGMENTS” | Lyrics: Jacques Aswad

This work is the assertion of a woman’s will to live and express herself freely, beyond schisms and differences. To express a critical yet loving point of view of the world, a world that is slowly changing its point of view of women, offering them a new place to stand in, a bigger role to play than ever before.

A woman, an oriental woman, comes back home after having had to live several years abroad, due to the political situation in her country. She feels sort of lost and torn in her identity. Who is she? What role is hers in this society? Is she a French educated city girl? A jazz musician ? An intellectual ? A political activist ? A sex symbol ? A mother ? Is she just tender and sentimental? Is she a constant fighter seeking justice and equality? Who is she? A modern, active young person ? A Business woman ? Does she have to chose ? Who is she ? Is she Eastern? Is she western? How can she restrain her inner richness and multiplicity: a strong, beautiful, struggling woman trying to get in touch with her inner self, energetically yet lovingly, with all the generosity and power of a woman!
