VIDEO: A.R.M. (Krukid x M. anifest x Budo) featuring Brother Ali "Heaven Only Knows"

If you don't know about A.R.M you got some catching up to do. African Rebel Movement is a group comprised of the homie Krukid (from Uganda, by way of Champaign, IL), M. Anifest (from Ghana, by way of the Twin Cities) with all the production handled by our step-cousin Budo! (from Seattle, WA - you may remember him from such albums as Macklemore's Language Of My World and you will also hear him on my upcoming project Colored People's Time Machine!) The new A.R.M album is called Uprising and they just debuted a new video today, with a cameo from Brother Ali! Every single member of this group is dope all by themselves... it's gonna be really exciting to watch them grow as a unit. Keep your eyes and ears open!

Yirim Seck :: One Verse (Episode 1)

Meet Yirim Seck. one of my favorite people and one of the dopest emcees in Seattle right now... you all should know him and when that album (heat) finally drops i think you'll agree.

Check the newest video on IjoArts.com It's a mix of acappella performance, personal commentary and documentary footage... and a great introduction to the homie we all know as Yirim. (check out Jerm breaking down the Northwest in the last scene too - ha!) i can't wait to see more. and while your at it... peep the video he did with Silas Blak for "Breath Easy (Mind Click)" right here.

"206 In Me" - Gabriel Teodros, Jerm, Rajnii & Yirim Seck (produced by Budo) - this was for a mixtape that never dropped, Yirim's album is a million times doper than this. i just like leaking all my unreleased cuts on here - ha!
