POWER STRUGGLE

REMITTANCES- takes the listener on an intimate journey through the American landscape from the perspective of a working class immigrant disillusioned by the American dream. With guest appearances by comrades and friends, verses rap stars and tastemakers, REMITTANCES reflects Nomi’s nomadic life-story that represents Minneapolis, Brooklyn, San Francisco and the Philippines. Remittances balances between subtle social commentary, to outright blood knuckle rage.

Over the past few years lead-vocalist Nomi has created an impressive resume releasing albums with the groups Oddjobs and Kill the Vultures. His music has been featured in Urb Magazine, Blow Up (Italy), Mixer, Yellow Rat Bastard, Time Out NY, SF Weekly, etc. Nomi has done extensive touring with groups like De La Soul, Atmosphere, Lyrics Born, Dj Shadow and Brother Ali. With a strong social-political analysis, Nomi is also committed to building power in the Filipino community working as a community organizer at the Filipino Community Center in the Excelsior District of SF.

I was reading the newspaper yesterday during rehearsal (yes, I do still read the newspaper - old school) and read a story about a suspected Orange County serial killer named, Itzcoatl Ocampo. Itzcoatl is accused of killing 4 homeless men by stabbing them over 40 times each. But, that’s…

Zach Combs aka New MC’s Book

Just finished reading Zach Combs aka New MC’s new book “Headspin, Headshots, & History: Growing up in Twin Cities Hip-Hop”. It’s a really good memoir of things that happened in the local (Twin Cities) hip-hop scene in the late 90’s early 20’s. But what makes it more than a cool ethnographic document, is the way Big Zach tells the story of his life. Made me think about all the folks from back then, especially all the folks that passed away and moved on to the next world. I really miss Minnesota!
