Wanna Remix Warriors Tongue?

Check out this incredible remix of Warriors Tongue by DC DJ and Producer Rex Riot.  Turn your speakers up...wait for the drop then dance in your PJs on your bed.  When you're done, look yourself square in the mirror and say "I see PRIDE, I see POWER, I see a badass WARRIOR that don't take nothing from no one."

Warriors Tongue Toronto

During a 24 hour stint in Toronto, en route to Jamaica, I caught up with the wonderful Fred E Fame.  We had met a few months earlier when I posed for a Legends of the Fame Hiphop baseball card.  "We should do a video" he said...6 hours left before heading to the airport we stroll up on the beautiful alleys of Queen Street West during the last day of Summer and get errrr done.  Freddy's partner in Fame, Miss Pink Kiss has a dad that owns a vintage store in Kensington Market (Dancing Days!) and arrives with a First Nations head dress - FWUH, that's the original Warrior right there.  Had to represent for the original Canadian Warrior, big up to all my Natives.  

We had a great time shooting, and a few weeks later I got Freddy to come link me in Kingsotn Jamaica to shoot a quick flick for the next single.  I love it when a plan comes together.

ps. For all you indie artists here in Canada, hit up Fred E. Fame for your videos $99 will get you started.  Tell him Masia One sent you. @FredEFame

Warriors Tongue Phlippines where it begins...

I met the boys from 22Deep while performing in Singapore.  They moonlight as part of the Mighty Miscellaneous Crew, one of the dopest Hiphop acts to come out of Southeast Asia.  We reconvened in Manilla Philippines where they graciously showed me their hometown together with Wika Fam.  

In between meals of garlic rice, daring me to try Balut & swigs of Red Horse, we decided it would be great to shoot a guerilla style music video for Warriors Tongue.  The homeboy Tempes took us to his hood in Tondo - and the rest is history.

It is my greatest intention to show, through my videos how people live around the world.  I don't mean cubicle jobs, strolling the mall and coming how to your PVR.  I mean LIVE; colors, smells, textures, poverty, riches - the whole shebang of what makes the world tick.  It stunned me how similar Tondo was to Kingston Jamaica. If you can't leave your living room in the dead of winter, I hope you enjoy these pieces of travel.

This video is dedicated to all the amazing Pinoys & Pinays I know all around the world.  Your motherland is the best.

one love - masia.
