Dream On Mofo Hari

Whats In A Dream...

A good friend of mine once told me there should be certain dreams you just cherish but let em be what they are, somethin you dont necessarily need to drive yourself into the ground to pursue..Here is my dream..

In the past 6 years, and even moreso in the past couple of years i have met, performed with, interviewed, talked to, networked with so many new and veteran artists..Its the ones who have been expressive, excited, energized with the love of their art that i'm focused on..THATS the stuff that literally give me goosebumps, makes me wanna run across George Washington Bridge barefoot screaming yeaaaaaaaaaa pumpin my fist in the air in a very unladylike manner..fuck it..i LOVE it..it drives me on and reminds me i'm not alone in the feelings i have for my own path.

When that energy gets together in performance or creative mode its crazy magic..can't even compare that with sex, drugs etc etc..its just plain beautiful and if you are a creative person you will know exactly what i mean..

Ok so whats the dream? To get EVERY ONE one of those people who have showed me 'that energy' together for one MAD event..A lot of people will know I've already talked about an event bringing together a lot of the veterans in the biz and thats gonna happen when the time is right..but this particular dream is about the ones that have touched me, Donna Hunt aka Mofo Hari right to the core of my artistic lil heart and made me proud to be right where i am, right here, right now. I want to see everybody vibing off of everybody, sharing thoughts, ideas..REAL enthusiasm for this art of ours and all pulling in the same direction..

And here's the sad thing..so many of the artists that shared a moment with me or my team have gone MIA after spraying fireworks, showering us with their essence, sharing the deepest part of their mind and experiences..and that won't be forgotten..but..u know..why break the chain?? A little continuity, keeping it flowing, Isn't that how its spose to be if we all feel the same way, want the same thing?

So..reality tells me that ultimately folks wouldn't be able to put away the 'its all about me'  or the hunger for that contract or the drive for the golden apple long enough to just show love and support for the MUSIC..and to revive the heart and soul of HIP HOP..could they?  *blinks and pauses... hmmmmm..

Like I said..Dream On Mofo Hari...

Testimonial Time!!

Listen up!!..i present to you CHRISMORALE VILLAIN - if u don't kno, haven't heard, haven't cared until this point, this is the time to wake up and take note..Here amongst us is a young man with HUGE TALENT, musical and life knowledge most artists/humans only aspire to but never truly reach, skills with a broader scope than most who have been in the biz for years, and passion for his art that is greater than any i have known..i am proud to have taken the step to walk with him and my ppl on this journey..look up, take heed, pay attention..cuz what he gives runs deep from the heart and the realest u will ever experience! His heart and soul is hip hop but with a love and respect for all genres of music.

His skills run to a broad spectrum including phenomenal production skills, with the ability to break apart a track in his mind and hear each part individually to then produce some wonderful and original villain-style magic..so i repeat, he makes incredible beats, produces unbelievably dope tracks (i hold my own tracks up as examples..he has produced many of mine!). You want more proof of Chrismorale's abilities?? Check out his music videos produced by..yup..the man himself! He makes unique and imaginative music vids of both his own and other artist's tracks! (http://www.werunradio.com/visuals)

So here it is..Chrismorale spits fyre, tells a damn good lyrical story incorporating and utilizing a combination of vocal technique, imaginative instrumentals, expressive adlibs and hooks..and sound efx or whatever it takes to illustrate or add on!!..he follows no guidelines because he is self taught, highly creative and never boxes himself in to any format or style so every track is individual and unique; he writes and records, produces beats, tracks and remixes.

When he is producing for an artist, he connects with them all the way thru, works with them closely,  listens to their voices, takes it all in and lets the creative juices flow; he comminicates regularly in order to get inside their minds, see where they are going..that way artist and producer can create a track both are proud of..and he approaches both audio and instrumental production from TWO angles..that of an experienced artist AND producer, which gives him the edge over other producers. After all, music is Chrismorale's life as he will tell you..he grew up in Englewood NJ, an area where many big names in the biz have come from..but i digress..you can ask him directly for details about who, what, when and where AND about the artists, new and veteran that he has produced for over the years..or better yet, go find out for yourself!

SideNote: Chris surprized me at our first performance together in July this year (altho i should never be surprized at anything this man does pertaining to his art!!)..the man stole the show! Chrismorale Villan is an awesome natural performer who is great at getting an audience to participate!!

..Aaand there's more..Chris is a sharp, astute and insightful businessman with a growing network including new and veteran producers, artists and folks in the biz..he watches continually what is going on, keeps his finger on the pulse of music of all genres..I am proud to call myself his business partner, the ideas are always flowing and that makes working with him exciting and fun..he keeps me on my toes and is always ready with a plan or an idea, always networking, always following his instincts and his heart. I love that initiative and drive!!!

As a lady who loves promoting her team, here's yet another bonus..Chrismorale loves a cam and the cam loves him, which also makes him wonderful to photograph and video..his natural character and great looks come across well on both.

Artists and people who have had dealings with the man will tell you he shoots from the hip with his truth based on his experience of situations and his honest beliefs. You will notice his memory is phenomenal, he can quote you back statements you made to him 5 years ago, remember where he was when he heard a track for the first time and what he was thinking..Music means that much to him..like i said earlier, it is his life! So if you come to the man and ask for his thoughts on your tracks, be prepared for str8 talk! Why? Because he is here to move mountains..and yea mountains need to be moved right now. Look what is happening to hip hop!! Along with his cousin (my brother and maestro FaDaze) Chrismorale is one of the tru warriors who is standing up to make a difference to the music he loves.

Both men and ladies will love him or hate him depending on their ability to accept his openness and no holds barred reality. BUT WHY LIE TO YOU OR HIMSELF?? That is just how the man operates..I would rather have somebody offer me honesty than bullshit on a plate any day. Personally i love that aspect..even if i don't agree with or understand a point being raised i can honestly testify that whatever is said is food for thought and not just words thrown away for no good reason. So when the man speaks..don't suck in your breath or close your eyes and punch out with reflex actions you don't even understand. Let it marinate, think about it..THEN tell him your thoughts.

AND!! Chrismorale also HOSTs his own radio show THE CHRISMORALE EXPERIENCE, Wednesday nights, 9-10:30 pm on WIFI 1460 AM. Tune in via http://www.wifi1460am.com/ or thru our website WERUNRADIO http://www.werunradio.com/

Radio is another place his talent shines. He has the gift of a quick mind and powerful speech, along with a truly colorful character that comes across beautifully on air. He shares everything on air, no topic, subject or interviewee is sacred, Chrismorale will not stonewall, sidestep or bullshit! Pepare to be sprayed!!

The Villain has interviewed many great producers and artists on the show such as Nick Wiz, Blue Raspberry, D/R Period, Billy Danze, Easy Mo Bee, Paula Perry, Mr Mann, Airplane Ace..the list goes on and on..and will continue to grow as Chrismorale reaches out as he does tirelessly, to bring the music biz, appreciators and the hip hop community together across the globe..he's ALL ABOUT UUUNITY..New Jersey Stand Up!!

My point in this testimonial?..Okay, well for some who may not know about Donna Hunt aka Mofo Hari, I chose to walk with my people without stars in my eyes and running blindly, but with an open mind, after 5 years of working with my team MaDD PPuLL before even attempting to travel overseas to continue the journey. So i do not speak about, promote or stand behind a man or a team i know nothing about. And Nooo i don't profess to know Chrismorale better than anybody else (like some do)..i speak only from my own heart and experience with a man i have the highest regard and respect for as an artist and as somebody who stands behind his words and principals. So yea, it is what it is and i am not afraid or ashamed to stand up and point out the reasons to all who will hear.

ON THAT NOTE..go investigate for yourself..check out previous episodes of The Chrismorale Experience on http://www.werunradio.com/ - On that site you can browse thru and read about the rest of MADD PPULL or go check out the Cakes + Pies section for albums and mixtapes and the Visuals for videos!
