Maximize Your Resources | Urban Voodoo Recently, I was invited to check out a brother who goes by the name of Urban Voodoo also known around the circuit as UV, a poet and activist hailing from the city of Angels; UV would be known as the "Awakening Angel", awakening the consciousness of the most neglected portions of the black mind. In a generation that is heavily immersed in beat-driven misogyny and non-progressive jesterism (did I say that outloud?!), UV comes as a loud and outspoken voice so necessary as fresh air in a smoke-filled room. From the first track "Little Andre" you are almost jarred awake by the delivery and the truism of his lyricism; you can see that he has a lot on his mind and has done some extensive research, which can be greatly appreciated.

Urban Voodooo in his project "Maximize Your Resources" provides a recipe for self-awareness, the deep call for heritage observation, and the conditions in America that we socially dismiss in our daily meanderings. The kicker in all of this, is that here offers it at a price that is conducive to even the most inexperienced panhandler at a whopping $5 spot, a "nickel bag" as we USED to call it. You can hear the conviction of UV's commitment to improve his surroundings, giving life and strength to the lethargic minded folks waiting for change. If you need proof of the power of his mind, then check out his words in "Taxation with No Representation," and he shows that you can share more than consciousness to move the soul in his piece hear below. The tracks are well arranged and produced by Tim Fiddes and Michael Gober for Urban Wordz.

I highly recommend that you check this brother out and help to support his movement to build a brother future, "come on, can I borrow $5, I'll get you back next week!". Check him out this is one deep/dope brotha, right on!

UrbanVoodoo...Live and Direct... Artist Profile Reverbnation.com
Artist Summary Genres: Hip Hop / SpokenWord Artist Bio UrbanVoodoo...The name in itself sparks so many ideas in the minds of folks...lol. Let me set the record straight. UrbanVoodoo is the combination of two distinct ideas, Urban in terms of the inner city which bred my style and Magic which the sound is designed to create. City Magic. I hail from New Orleans, Lousiana home of the Spicy Creole Culture that has permeated the urban sound for decades. I am merely a branch off that same tree. I write concrete. There is no imaginary man holding the microphone here. I was raised in two distinct localities where the cultural norms are as different as Denmark and Hamburg are to each other,even though the two countries are both European. I was raised in California and Louisiana. I grew up in a very stable tribal environment in my 9th ward locality of NO and eventually I was raised by the hardened streets of INGLEWOOD, CA. where childhood is eclipsed by reality and dreams are like the yeaning for true freedom. I am a product of those dreams. There is a little bit of drama in every piece I write. If you want reality...Check out the Voodoo in my lines. Peace

Long Beach, California Photo: Micheaux Fortson Urban Voodoo...The name in itself sparks so many ideas in the minds of folks. He’s set the record straight denoting the negative connotation voodoo represents… he is the combination of these two distinct words.

1. He was born in the city of Long Beach, California, and was raised in Inglewood, Ca. therefore “City“, being Urban.

2. His roots derive from are from New Orleans byway of Haiti, where his grandfather came to after immigrating from Haiti in 1907… so to pay homage to his forefathers, he kept the took the name Voodoo… which is nothing but Magic. Together we are presented with Urban Voodoo…or ‘City Magic‘.

Urban Voodoo's Creole culture still permeates in his performance…that of Spicy truth that burns in gestation. His distinct vibe can be felt due to being raised in the inner-city where he shows his urban nature. He merely found away to take two different characteristics of his own roots, nurture message to feed branches his gumbo of prose. The inner city, of Inglewood, California bred his style and magic. His word is a perfect mesh of urban sounds and uprising freedom fighting tunes of New Orleans souls.

Urban explains further, “I write concrete. There is no imaginary man holding the microphone here. I was raised in two distinct localities where the cultural norms are as different as Denmark and Hamburg are to each other, even though the two countries are both European.” he goes on, “I was raised in California and Louisiana. I grew up in a very stable tribal environment in my 9th ward locality of NoLa, and eventually I was raised by the hardened streets of the Wood; Inglewood, Ca., where childhood is eclipsed by reality and dreams are like the yeaning for true freedom. I am a product of those dreams. There is a little bit of drama in every piece I write. If you want reality...Check out the Voodoo in my lines.“
