Liberation Day - (Prod By. Blackmale Beats)

A 30-minute mix of “cumbia cumbia, not nueva cumbia” from January 2013. My man Talacha gets on the mic as sonidero. 

I used all cumbias purchased in Brooklyn , so it skews heavily towards cumbias poblanas, mexican cumbias, tunes made in the States. Shoutouts include: Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, New Jersey, Virginia, Baltimore, Las Carolinas, Ellay… kinda functions as a map of where Mexicans are strong in the US! There’s no tracklist but that’s OK because everyone is always shouting out their name anyhow...

This mix was originally available as a physical-only CD at a taco shop in the East Village, along with another 30minute mix by Sonido Martines:  http://www.negrophonic.com/2013/new-cumbia-mix-rupture-vs-sonido-martines/

Fresh off a standout series of shows at this year's SXSW festival, which saw her take to the stage for the likes of Soundcloud, Complex, Okayplayer and more, with Sango, Waldo and the Soulection and AGO family, Little Simz hits the ground running and blesses us with some freshness to share with you guys.

The 20 year old North London hailing rapper and musician, who has been thrust into the spotlight following the release of her 4th mixtape Blank Canvas (which was premiered on Jay Z's Life+Times in September 2013, earning her global accolade and tipped to watch by the likes of Noisey, The Independent and many more) today brings us her thought provoking take on Da-P's "The Hamptons", which was originally released in its instrumental form a few months ago as part of a white label release from Soulection.

Press play on this piece of  audio goodness brought to you by Soulection and SoulCulture and stay locked for news on Little Simz debut EP which is set to be released this spring.
