March 30, 2006 (Press Release) --
Boston, MA---Kabir, a veteran of the Boston hip hop scene, will release his third full length album, “Peaceful Solutions” on April 25, 2006 in partnership between Uncle Trouble Music (Kabir’s own label) and NYC based Raptivism Records. Kabir, who has released tracks in the past with Mr. Lif, Esoteric and Virtuoso, is unique as the only nationally recognized MC of South Asian descent. He is also the son of world-famous Nobel Prize winning economist Amartya Sen.
Like his father, Kabir focuses his talents on alleviating the ills plaguing world society. “Peaceful Solutions” takes a hard look at many of the struggles going on around the globe today and advocates a new way of attacking the problems that we as a society face. Tracks like “Where You At?” take a more personal look at Kabir’s search for inner peace in addition to his belief in a more enlightened political process.
Vincent Merry, President of socially conscious Raptivism Records says “Kabir is in a unique position to influence people in many walks of life. We hope that his fusion of hip-hop, funk and conscious themes reaches that maximum number of people possible, starting in his home, Boston, where so many people come to study.”
Kabir will be performing regularly around the northeast in support of the new album with initial CD Release Party dates in Boston and New York. On Friday, April 28th he will be at the Paradise Lounge – 969 Commonwealth Ave. in Boston with Primary Others, Elemental Zazen, ViceVersah and others. On Saturday, April 29th Kabir will bring his hip hop party to The Bowery Poetry Club – 308 Bowery, New York, NY along with label-mate L.I.F.E. Long, DJ Synapse, Elemental Zazen, and other special guests.
Kabir has recently joined a new group created by the Mayor’s Office in Boston called, “Mayor Menino’s Hip Hop Roundtable,” addressing an increase in youth gun violence in and around. He runs workshops called “Hip hop as Education” at many private and public schools throughout the northeast. These workshops are designed to teach the youth of today about the positive power of music and hip hop and to encourage these students to find healthy ways to express themselves, while being respectful and true to the art.
“Peaceful Solutions” will be distributed thru Ryko Distribution and will be available initially in most major retail outlets throughout the northeast.
