A Ted Woods Documentary "White Wash" Narrated By The Roots
White Wash, the documentary, is a film exploring the complexity of race in America through the eyes of the ocean. Examining the history of “black consciousness” as it triumphs and evolves into the minds of black surfers, we learn the power of transcending race as a constructive phenomenon. The story is narrated by the legendary, Grammy Award winner Ben Harper (Fistful of Mercy, Relentless 7, Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals) along with Tariq “Blackthought” Trotter of the Grammy Award winning hip hop group, The Roots whom also originally scored the film.

Rare Form Proudly Presents Donut Are Forever 6
The sixth annual 'Donuts Are Forever' celebration for the late Jay Dee/J Dilla is going down on Sunday, February 19, 2012. 'Donuts Are Forever 6' is taking place in New York City at Brooklyn Bowl, with doors opening at 6pm and the show set to start at 8pm and tickets ranging from $5 to $10.
James "J Dilla/Jay Dee" Yancey passed away from complications of lupus on February 10, 2006 and the first 'Donuts Are Forever' party was held a year later. "We never went into this planning for it to be an annual series," Derreck "Dee Phunk" Johnson, a partner in Rare Form, the event's organizer. "The original DAF in 2007 was a commemoration of the first anniversary of his passing. But when we witnessed the turnout, we were dumbfounded. We were fans and we knew there were a ton of other fans out there...but just seeing the physical manifestation of that love blew us away. And five years later...here we are on number six."
Donuts Are Forever 6 will be hosted by Hip-Hop group Tanya Morgan, and feature Dilla's music being spun by an assortment of DJ's including Parler, Brina Payne, Ill Digitz and Getlive! Special guests include DJ Neil Armstrong and legendary Hip-Hop producer Prince Paul. Add the yearly attendees and curious newcomers to the mix and it should be great event that bigs up a Hip-Hop legend who didn't get his just due until he was gone.
"[Dilla] was taken from us way too soon," says Dee Phunk. "Dilla hadn't even reached his peak yet. He was destined for greatness. Yet he left a staggering amount of music behind for us to absorb. We feel Donuts Are Forever is a great way to keep his legacy and music alive. If just one person who is unfamiliar with his work walks into the party and leaves wanting to educate themselves further, then we've done our job. Plus just hearing that body of work in a large venue with professional sound and other like-minded individuals around the share it with...it's just a surreal experience."

Feature Presentation 2x Vids: Glory & Dope Girl by Zakee
A world traveler of Senegalese ancestry, vocalist/producer Zakee is currently based in Philadelphia. He launched his 2011 debut album Assimilations from that perch but it sounds like it could have come from anywhere, and, in some ways, it’s coming from a lot of places.
Assimilations starts out with “The Dark Crystal,” a downtempo electronic track featuring the vocals of The Very Best’s Essau Mwamweya and the spoken words of the late Brazilian poet Vinicius de Moraes. It’s clear this artist has thoroughly assimilated a lot of influences in his time on Earth.
Hip hop beats often morph into complex polyrhythms in his compositions, but it all stays within the realm of pop and, while TV on The Radio and Maximum Balloon are close musical cousins, Zakee is definitely staking out his own left-of-center territory somewhere between chillwave and Afropop.
The Renaissance man played most of the instruments his album and deftly produced most of it –in addition to rapping and crooning like a streetwise Tunde Adebimpe. The former high school math teacher is a painter too, and his appreciation for the visual world shows in imaginative videos like the one for “Glory,” shot in Rio de Janeiro.
Zakee started out messing with kuduro and remixing M.I.A and he can still throw out some dirty, git-er-done dance tracks — in case you thought he was just some art school guy — so make sure you get those bonus tracks.
