A founding member of the group Sunz Of Man -- who cracked the Billboard Top 20 with their 1998 remake of Earth, Wind & Fire’s classic “Shining Star” alongside the band, Wyclef Jean and Ol’ Dirty Bastard -- Razah was discovered and mentored at age 14 by Wu Tang leader RZA and groomed for success. Later dubbed “Heaven Razah” when he went solo in the mid-2000s, the rising young MC made headlines when he suffered the aneurysm in 2010. As a result of this tragedy, Hell Razah has spent the last 7 years slowly recovering from this near-fatal incident, which left him in a coma and unable to use the left side of his body. As Razah has been struggling to learn how to walk, talk, and rhyme again, filmmaker Frank Meyer has been documenting his journey every step of the way. The director and Hell Razah go way back, as Meyer was Sunz of Man’s publicist back in 1997, and later filmed Razah for his G4tv web series Freestyle 101, a series that was recognized by Steve Jobs at an Apple conference. “Razah’s story is one everyone can relate to,” says Meyer. “He was a talented kid from the streets who worked hard and nearly achieved all of his dreams before this tragedy struck. Now his life has been completely refocused. A lot of rappers will tell you about how they have been shot 9 times, but they won’t let you see them struggling through the rehab process or questioning their future.” Risen: The Story of Chron “Hell Razah” Smith provides an uncompromising look into the world of rehabilitation and redemption, the likes of which hip hop has never seen before. From Razah’s physical therapy to his spiritual journey, from his quest to rap again and desire to love again, audiences wil 00:42:00Los Angeles Renaissance ShownoWu Tang Clan,new music,documentaryBe the first to hear about Hell Razah documentary and his latest music47cc6cc4-ec98-439b-b68e-947781a9a704fullhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/los-angeles-renaissance-show/2018/04/16/interview-with-the-lovely-and-mysterious-sankofa-ashe-aka-the-poetic-rap-brujaEntertainmenthttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/los-angeles-renaissance-show/2018/04/16/interview-with-the-lovely-and-mysterious-sankofa-ashe-aka-the-poetic-rap-bruja/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/los-angeles-renaissance-show/2018/04/16/interview-with-the-lovely-and-mysterious-sankofa-ashe-aka-the-poetic-rap-brujaMon, 16 Apr 2018 03:00:00 GMTInterview with the lovely and mysterious Sankofa-Ashe' aka The Poetic Rap BrujaSankofa-Ashe' aka The Poetic Rap Bruja hails from originally from Long Beach California, also lived in the DMV area and is first generation born in the United States to an immigrant family from Central America. Sankofa-Ashe grew up with many influences in music from all genres and cultural music that she draws inspiration from. She wrote her first rap at 8 years old, often writing short stories, poems, and doing arts and crafts to express herself, as it wasnt easy for her to express herself freely at times. This stopped and continued throughout her life, at 14 she decided to pick up the pen again and write raps, stories depicting where she wanted to be and what she wanted to do with her life. An unorthodox poet that puts her poetic writings to beats as music is her metaphysical playground to escape from the mundane. She covers all subjects and layers of her personality through her music , from the lightest emotion to the most darkest of places, a lyrical onion with many layers to explore. Her style is unapologetic, truthful, witty and gritty with a touch of sensual vulnerablity. Sankofa-Ashe' is a lover of music and a devotee of creativity, constantly looking for beats and collabs as homework assignments to hone her skills. Unpredictable and often side tracked and reluctant, when in the zone and creatively focused Sankofa-Ashe' comes up with her most prolific body of work. The potential that she has as an aspiring and constantly evolving artist is very promising as she delivers raw lyrics to jazzy soulful other worldly instrumentals that seems to move her at any moment. Possessed by her pen and need for self expression, there is more to come from this artist be on the lookout for Sankofa-Ashe', The Poetic Rap Bruja.  00:45:00Los Angeles Renaissance Shownohip hop,Witchcraft,Central America,Long Beach,poetryMeet the lyrical wizzard and resident witch of a new tv show25a3a69c-d004-419d-8045-7f814e42acad11fullhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/los-angeles-renaissance-show/2017/11/05/interview-with-a-hustler-br-a-fresh-new-music-artistEntertainmenthttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/los-angeles-renaissance-show/2017/11/05/interview-with-a-hustler-br-a-fresh-new-music-artist/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/los-angeles-renaissance-show/2017/11/05/interview-with-a-hustler-br-a-fresh-new-music-artistSun, 05 Nov 2017 23:00:00 GMTInterview with a Hustler; B.R. a Fresh New Music ArtistBIOGRAPHY OF BRYAN RODNEY Yo what it is small world it’s ya hustla’s favorite hustla B.R.

I am living proof, that is exactly what GOD has done for me. MY GREAT MESS: In my early teens my family was living in Houston, the day after Thanksgiving we were homeless. We bounced around from hotels and motels, soon money ran out and we were living in our car. After what seemed like an eternity we were blessed to find refuge in a family shelter in downtown Houston. Not having a home of our own broke us down emotionally, mentally, financially, spiritually and physically. It was hell on earth. Each blow left a wound, it felt like GOD turned His back on us. I would rage against GOD.   GOD’S GREATNESS: He took my wounds and turned them into scars. Each one a reminder of HIS promise, a promise to never leave me or forsake me. By His Grace we started to see change in our lives gradually. In this time, I discovered my GOD GIVEN GIFT, ministering thru rap music. A gift that lets people know that no matter what they might be going thru, GOD can take YOU from great mess to greatness!     00:44:00Los Angeles Renaissance ShownoBlessed,Christian,Rap,Texas,GodJoin the Los Angeles Renaissance show January 20th at 8 PM to meet Blessed the Christian Rapper who gives his testimony on his gift to write and rhyme that helhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/los-angeles-renaissance-show/2013/01/15/monday-night-with-spice-trellEntertainmenthttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/los-angeles-renaissance-show/2013/01/15/monday-night-with-spice-trell/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/los-angeles-renaissance-show/2013/01/15/monday-night-with-spice-trellTue, 15 Jan 2013 04:00:00 GMTMonday Night With Spice & Trell Join us tonight as we welcocme North Carolina's hip hop atist,  Trell Akbar.

GreerJoin the Los Angles Renaissance Show for our first poetry reading by Jarvon M. Greer.   I was born into a family that was once peaceful, until they became infected by their own past. I am Jarvon Michael Greer born on April 19,1991 in the city of Inglewood California. As a kid growing up I seen alot of hate, and lived in a gang bang neighborhood where people in the community didn't know what love is. Going to school I was faced with trials of tribulation, getting sexually harrassed by guys &girls. Most of my days I got beat up cause of the way I looked. Got sick of all the attention and people coming after me for sex, testing me with these sex mind games seeing if I was bisexual or straight. At the age of seven I think I was raped but couldn't remember. The only way for me to escape these issues from school &daycamp was through painting. My gift for words came to me in the second grade spelling became easy for me, that I didnt need a dictionary. Before I did poetry I was rappin and had stopped in the seventh grade. Still dealing with these issues made me quiet &bitter that I didnt forgive those who brought pain to me. In the 11th grade. That I will still become a musical artist, thats when I began writing poetry in the 11th grade. I made a major decision that changed my life, which was falling in love with music and acting. My family rejected and didnt see me as a man because I didnt want to run track anymore. My sophmore year of college is when I began doing open mic venues. Some people see me as weird others see unknown cause I have a powerful name that has a story behind it. Here is da meaning to thy name, Justice, Attractive, Respect, Victory, Obediance, Narrate, Motive, Impression, Confidant, Habitual, Adventure, Estale, Level, Gallant, Reveal, Emotions, Ensemble, Responsibilities.  00:38:00Los Angeles Renaissance ShownoPoetry,Jarvon M Greer,Spoken Word,Actor,Song WriterJoin the Los Angles Renaissance Show for our first poetry reading by Jarvon M.
