I first heard Smino between 2011 and 2012. Back then, I thought I wanted to blog so I was really into documenting underground artists. When I met Smi, he still went by his full government, Chris Smith Jr., and had more aliases than P. Diddy Puff Daddy himself. My first dose of Smi was through The Show Me Cy- pher 2, which brought a lot of us from St. Louis to where we are now creatively.

HELLA RANDOM 6 7 THE MIDWEST SWING REQUIRES ZERO FATIGUE by Police State / @DoRightMars Over the last decade, the Route 66 connection between St. Louis & Chicago has shifted from a rivalry to one of the most fruitful connec- tions in contemporary music. This playlist shines a light on some of the brightest talents hailing from both cities, with Zero Fatigue being the vessel for much of the discovery. Outside of a few influences, the artists curated herein are collaborators, friends and even tour mates of ZF that together comprise a vibrant cultural renaissance happening right in the heart of America. The two cities can be starkly different- the food, the slang, the pace- but that Midwest Swing is apparent in both. The playlist takes listeners on a journey that meshes the best of both places seamlessly. The first half is the build-up for listeners to turn up like they’re headed to a party in Chicago or St. Louis and the 2nd half is that mellow vibe that we all need after having a blast on a night out with friends. Full of raw energy & cool vibes, this isn’t for the faint of heart because The Mid- west Swing Requires Zero Fatigue.

  • Imagination and the Practice of Rapping in Dar Es Salaam
    David Kerr THUGS AND GANGSTERS: IMAGINAtiON AND THE PRACtiCE OF RAppiNG IN DAR ES SALAAM abstract Since the arrival of hip hop in Tanzania in the 1980s, a diverse and vibrant range of musical genres has developed in Tanzania’s commercial capital, Dar es Salaam. Incorporating rapping, these new musical genres and their associated practices have produced new imaginative spaces, social practices, and identities. In this paper, I argue that rappers have appropriated signs and symbols from the transnational image of hip hop to cast themselves as ‘thugs’ or ‘gangsters’, simultaneously imbuing these symbols with distinctly Tanzanian political conceptions of hard work (kazi ya jasho), justice (haki) and self-reliance (kujitegemea). This article examines how the persona of the rapper acts as a nexus for transnational and local moral and ethical conceptions such as self-reliance, strength, and struggle. Exploring the complicated, ambiguous, and contradictory nature of cultural production in contemporary Tanzania, I argue that rappers use the practice of rapping to negotiate both the socialist past and neo-liberal present. Drawing on the work of De Certeau and Graeber, I argue that rappers use these circulating signs, symbols, and concepts both tactically and strategically to generate value, shape social reality and inscribe themselves into the social and political fabric of everyday life. Keywords: hip hop, popular music, Tanzania, Ujamaa, value INTRODUCTION as well as our individual hopes and ambitions. Octavian and Richard, who as rappers adopt It is mid-morning in June 2011 and I am sat with the names O-Key and Kizito, are both students two ‘underground’ rappers, Octavian Thomas and live close to where we meet.
