M Team ft. Kumasi |One Life To Live
December 2nd, 2008
I can’t really say if this is a new song or not but it’s new to me and I’m sure many of you haven’t heard it before.
Mujahideen Team aka M Team has a song featuring a Compton MC from The Game’s Black Wall Street named Kumasi.
“They are teachers as well as leaders, artists in addition to activists, and most importantly Zhivago and Ensahbanor are Believers who take hold of the mic and use it as an instrument of power, influence, creativity and enlightenment.”
- Yahsmin Mayaan Bint Bobo
I have been hearing about the brothers En Sabah Noor (Hamza Perez) & Doc Zhivago (Suliman Perez) since 2005. They’ve been steadily gaining fans, especially those into “conscious and progressive” Hip Hop, for the past few years. Like 580 and One Be Lo, M Team is one of those rare “Muslim” emcees that has large non-muslim fan base due their quality lyrical skills and beats.
Be sure to check out the documentary about M Team “New Muslim Cool” coming to the Sundance Festival and your local PBS station some time next year.
