Freedom Verse Cafe continues to promote and dedicate resources to improve the quality of music available to the general public.  How is it done?  Through the use of promotional mixtapes and creating venues for positive artists to be learned and explored.  What makes it worthwhile to do this is the reaction to your desire and hunger to consume such great music.  In volume two of the 2011 Edition, I wanted to centralized a theme of progression and development hence the focus on things from Dr. King.  Music as always been our vehicle for entering the hearts and minds of the community at large, and with that in mind comes this mixture of cogitative and inspirational contents induced with historical messages.

 Sit back, relax and enjoy this smooth and careful blend of jazz, poety, and soul from various cultures around the world.  Listen in your car, gym, work, or while taking in life; you'll be better for having enjoyed this experience.  Also, a great thanks goes out to our special listeners in South Africa, to Nelson and his family as he recovers, and to my family and friends who continue to support this effort.  Also to all the artists and most certainly to both Spoken Vizions and Freedom's Ink for continuing to support our community of prolific artists.

As always, this project is a non-profit program, and is solely for the promotion of good music and artists.  Please take the time to view the list provided for you to research and support the artists in this mix.  It is not for retail...end of discussion.  Let's get vibed!

It is 2011, and what else should kick off the year than a good mixtape?  This year is going to be an exciting one with all of the expected new music arriving, in the meantime lets get down and deep with a great mixture of jazz, poet, hiphop, and soul.

This blend of genres there is a theme from beginning to end; let's see where your mind is enticed to drift off to.  Music should be emancipating, inciting, and inviting; such that we can walk away filling good.  Each mixtape is carefully mixed to give the listener such an experience, while promoting positive and uplifting music.  What more can I say, well there is that...it's free to download and listen in your car, iDevices, and home stereos.
