OnPlanetZu IS #FLYAH

 
"One day, it was decided that dub step needed to express its insane, danceable, funkable, thrashable alter ego."
OnPlanetZu is a self-contained entity, who's music crosses into a genre-confused electronic hip-hop/reggae/rock/you-name-it maelstrom of bass, beat and energy.  Their original, self-created sounds and 'no pre-recorded samples' approach to songwriting presents a fun, fresh high-energy blast compared to the follow-suit trend in today's music. Their songs contain an element of unpredictability-changing flow at any given turn.  OnPlanetZu's popular debut single, "Speakers" hit Earth with force, followed by their heavily base-infused "Fire." Both tracks are featured on the 2014 album "Adventures of Yo Mama."  Distributed through Sony RED to all major online retailers via Skee-Lo Musik, "Adventures of Yo Mama" has won rapidly wide appeal and has captured the attention of some respectable names in the music scene.  
Zu Tha Greatone, singer/songwriter for LA bands,'OnPlanetZu' and 'Bazerk' joins forces with producer, Cori Jacobs (Fader) to inspire an original and heavy new approach to electronic music. With over a decade of history in the music industry, the members of OnPlanetZu have an almost seamless way of working together.  Fader's affinity for OnPlanetZu has added a vital element of cohesiveness between the ideas in Zu's head and the outcome of the recorded song. His versatility as a live DJ insures him integral to the structure of OnPlanetZu.  Live shows consistently energize the crowd, drawing people to the dance floor.  OnPlanetZu performances might be Zu as a solo artist- proving his gift at entertainment- or he may be joined by DJ Fader and members of Bazerk.  Either way, the band never fails to deliver.
OnPlanetZu are big on collaborations.  They have many underway with Redman, Skee-Lo, Darcy Donnovan, Blackburner, Galilee, Supa, and more. They are inculded in a 2014 Trap music box set out of Cleopatra Records, which features a number of remixed tracks from OnPlanetZu.  OPZ's music is played around the world on a multitude of internet and FM radio stations as well as video channels.  They were recently invited to open up the BET Idols and Icons Awards after-party.    
During his musical career, Zu has performed with such names as: Blackburner, Dawn of Ashes, Ludacris, KRS One, Prince, Dr. Mad Vibe (Angelo Moore of Fishbone), The Black Eyed Peas, 311 and George Clinton.  He is endorsed by LinkedIn members DJ Evil E (Ice T's dj) and Anthony Andrews of Lickwit Entertainment (responsible for underground Hip Hop acts: King Tee, NAS, Tha Alkaholiks, Xzibit, Defari, Dilated People, Stylisik Jones and Lootpack).  Zu's music has been featured in  MTV Top 10, MTV Pranked, Animal Planet, Alcoholics Anonymous commercials, PlayStation 3 Commercials and Clown voice-over, 2012 feature film, "Donner's Pass." OnPlanetZu is currently sponsored by Rude Boy Clothing and Zutra Water.
Tone Toven, film director and long-time friend, has contributed to many of Zu's videos, including the smash hit video by OnPlanetZu, "Speakers,"  which earned over 100k views on YouTube within its first month.  "Speakers" has won OnPlanetZu a number of gold, silver and bronze medals for song/video production on beat100.com.  Tone's understanding of Zu's artistic style contributes to a visual presentation as in your face and out-of-the-box as the music itself.  
Stay tuned, OPZ's got nothin' but HYPE transmitting to your neighborhood!

Somalia has birthed a metalcore/deathcore pioneer by the name Dahir Dubi

A Somali metalcore/deathcore Artist just when you thought you heard  everything. This is the type of art everyone needs to hear one that is not simply formed of inner-city struggle and then you just do the obvious thing and get pigeonholed into making drill or hip-hop, or whatever is deemed to be as the kids say “popping” at the time. This is not also a story of privilege where your parents gave you every advantage there is, you studied music  at the best schools and college, and your father finally decided to cash in on that favour the big music executive owes him. No this is a story of falling in love with a music genre that no one in your immediate circle understands. Realising, people you have known for years think you are weird and perhaps worship satin. This is a story of losing friends because they want  you to conform and just be “normal”. This is a story of being someone you choose to be  rather than what people expect you to be and standing up for your individuality.   This r

  Where are you from and what’s it like in your hometown? I am born and mostly raised in New Bedford, Massachusetts. New Bedford is full of hardworking and creative people. It's got It's ups and downs just like everywhere. For me it's home and where I feel the most comfortable. The art scene is really taking off over these last few years and added with some great restaurants, it's really growing. What inspired you to develop your craft as a music artist? The journey started without music. Poetry started as a way out from the world. It saved my life. So I guess you could say my struggle with depression at an early age was the match that lit the fire. After that it was just curiosity and finding out where I wanted to go with it and being open to new adventures. Has the lifestyle of being a poet influenced your personal life in any way?  If so would you care to shed light on your experience? Poetry has literally saved my life a couple times. I get lost in my head and writi
