Latin Hip Hop Pioneer Kemo the Blaxican Drops New Album 6-27

Bilingual hip hop MC Kemo the Blaxican, aka David Thomas, releases his best album to date with his second solo album June 26.

[ClickPress, Mon Jun 25 2007] Bilingual hip hop MC Kemo the Blaxican, aka David Thomas, releases his best album to date with his second solo album tomorrow June 26.

After 15 years and four albums with Latin Hip-Hop Pioneers ‘Delinquent Habits’, Kemo’s second solo album ‘Not So Rich & Famous’ follows the success of his 2005 release ‘Simple Plan’, whose single “La Receta” was included in multiple films and landed video play on MTV, Mun2, and LATV.

Kemo’s new album includes “5th of May” (featuring Tetsuya Nakamura of War on Harmonica), as well as the Anthemic “LCL (Left Coast Latinos)” and the lyrically-charged opener “You Know”. Influenced as much by the west coast funk and soul icons he grew up listening to, as by hip-hop, Kemo the Blaxican is joined by Tetsuya “Weeping Willow” Nakamura (harmonica player for the legendary War) on “5th of May”; the track is a groove-heavy indictment of urban commercial radio, which has traditionally neglected Latino hip-hop artists except on Cinco de Mayo, “the day they spin some brown.”

It has been two years since the release of his solo debut ‘Simple Plan’, and Kemo the Blaxican has stepped up the game with his strongest and most musically-ambitious album to date, with the self-produced ‘Not So Rich & Famous.’ The conscious bilingual hip hop rap MC means business, as evidenced by the opening refrain on the powerful first track “You Know”: “Sixteen bars, three verses – forty eight in all, delivered with a purpose,” says the hip hop rapper.

With the release of ‘Not So Rich & Famous’, Kemo the Blaxican has shown that he is not only one of the world’s best bilingual hip hop rap MC’s, but he is also a gifted producer who is not afraid to explore genres and collaborations outside the traditional Latin hip-hop realm. The buzz is growing for Kemo the Blaxican - a MC with the heart of a lion, who repeatedly keeps his ear to the street and his work ethic to the grindstone.

Be sure to check out Kemo’s ‘Not So Rich & Famous’ in stores June 26th.
