This friday the 7th of November Kasha is spreading his wings and flying up to the Birmingham NEC where he will be performing his first set on what hopes to be a very epic journey that is “The Oracle Tour”. This is not all however, as Kasha will also be making an appearance on Birmingham's leading multicultural radio station, New style Radio 98.7FM.
So the Oracle Tour kicks off in Birmingham where Kasha will be performing the penultimate set as part of Access to Music's ‘ATOM Stage'. As always Kasha will have a lot to give and there will be more pre release copies of the Oracle going out.
The stage will also be home to many other artists including one of particular prowess called Richard Lianhart. Richard is a talented artist and beatboxer. He became the first ever beatboxer to appear in London's West End and has performed with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and The Bolshoi Ballet. So definitely worth a look.
Tickets for Music Live can be bought here.

Kasha will be on New Style Radio between 5-6PM Friday 7th. You can tune in on 98.7 FM in the Birmingham area or via their live online link here.
Bowie, MD (Nov. 3, 2008) – Maryland emcee and producer ScholarMan is geared up to release what is technically his fifth studio album GameShift: The Movement. To some, this number of projects may come as a surprise, but ScholarMan has previously dropped other releases under former name "Scholar." He re-introduced himself in January of 2007 with his new modified name and sound with the release of "Candy Medicine" and again in 2008 with "Soul Purpose."
Both of these albums were well-received by a good number in the hip-hop community; many who wanted to hear more, and he answers with a new and even more innovative album GameShift: The Movement. According to ScholarMan, the concept of his new album is simple: positive, forward movement. Everything is shifting, changing; from hip-hop, politics, the economy and more. On this album he is encouraging listeners to join him in the effort to shift the "game" in a more positive direction.
ScholarMan states, "The game can be whatever cause you are fighting for; whether positive social change, justice, equality, peace or improvement of hip-hop. I believe things can be just that simple, but many continue to make the world more complex than what it needs to be. I believe our journey's can be more positive if it we strive to make it as such. My music is my personal soundtrack to a life with a purpose, and I strive daily to achieve that purpose. Through mistakes we learn and grow; I believe we all can grow together."
Solely produced by ScholarMan, GameShift: The Movement features new ground-breaking and thought-provoking material; with guess appearances from fellow label mates K-Mynez and TrueBless. The first two singles "The Answer II" and "What You Puttin' Back" featuring K-Mynez have already been released via music videos online. The new enhanced album will be released through ScholarMan's imprint Soganic Music this coming January 2009.

Slingshot Hip Hop braids together the stories of young Palestinians living in the West Bank, Gaza and inside Israel as they discover Hip Hop and employ it as a tool to surmount divisions imposed by occupation and poverty. From internal checkpoints and Separation Walls to gender norms and generational differences, this is the story of young people crossing the borders that separate them.
