KuroiOto originally crafted M.A.X.Wellness as a surprise birthday gift, but he decided to unleash the project to the world to show his love. For his third instrumental project , the Detroit-bred producer cleverly flips eight samples, primarily by R&B powerhouse Maxwell, to craft just as many silky, emotive soundbeds to represent the joy a certain loved one gives his life.
Here’s some highlights from our interview with Hir-O, who stopped by F.O.K.U.S. Radio back in January to talk about his new instrumental album The Voyage Home. Check out the second clip to watch a session over original Hir-O beats featuring The Amature, Red Pill, JYoung The General, P.H.I.L.T.H.Y., Doss The Artist, & L05.
Michigan emcee JYoung The General has joined forces with KevinNottingham.com and dN|Be Apparel to present the second installment of his Black History Yearseries. Just like the first installment which was released a year ago, Black History Year Installment Two is executively produced by Nick Speed (who has produced for G-Unit, Danny Brown and Elzhi).
Black History Year: Installment Two is part of an EP series that JYoung The General created to raise awareness of black issues, leaders and events. JYoung is joined by Michigan staples such as OneBeLo, Mae Day and Buff1 to edutain listeners on the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, the Pan-African flag, gentrification and more. Today’s release date, April 19, pays homage to the the date that Stokely Carmichael, a founding member of the Black Panther Party, coined the term “Black Power” during a 1967 speech in Seattle.

Lansing Music: Want hip-hop? Of course you do. Check out this Lansing-based rapper.
JYoung the General knows good hip-hop music is more than catchy beats and clever rhymes.
It involves smart, carefully placed social commentary– lyrics that get you to move in the club, but also make you think differently about the world around.
On “Black History Year: Installment Two,” the Lansing-based rapper does just that— brings together sociopolitical, very aware commentary with hot, steady, flowing beats, and the combo is simply dynamite.
The album, which is available for a free download on Tuesday, April 19, is an extension of JYoung’s personal experiences.
“My music is an extension of the things I learn,” JYoung says. “After so long of rapping about the experiences of my adolescence, I knew that speaking on the things I learned in college would balance out my arsenal.”
“Sometimes ” is the seventh installment of P.H.I.L.T.H.Y. and KuroiOto’s “Coolest Dude In Sunday School” fan appreciation leak series. The song “Sometimes” is a message to all of us to fight through the dark days and low times we go through, by appreciating the simple things in life. This will not only make us happier but help us in continuing to take strides towards always fulfilling our purpose.
