In a time and age where hip hop – once the most innovative and ever-evolving music in both hemispheres – has reached a point where fans and connoisseurs alike have come to wonder what the future will hold for it, emerges Mendoza. Introducing a truly refreshing style and visionary approach – yet taking us back to the days where mesmerizing beats and advanced lyricism epitomized hip hop music -young is bound to take the world by storm.

Born in Germany but raised and grown up in various continents of the world, CRhyme’s game is what you might call genuinely international– an attribute that is remarkably reflected in his creativeness, versatility, poetic abilities and elaborate perspectives. CRhyme has dedicated his life to music since he was 15 and has ever since elevated his game steadfastly.

Blessed with a smooth voice, overpowering lyrical skills and an enthralling flow,CRhyme blends classic elements of Hip Hop, R’n’B andSoul with his own unique flavor, creating a truly eclectic style.

Whether it is the laid-back ballad that massages your soul, the club banger that makes you wanna get down or the sophisticated, lyrically-laden rap that makes you contemplate life.

Today, in a world where hustler clichés, repetitive sounds and lacking individuality dominate hip hop culture, CRhyme’s personality and his approach towards music clearly set him apart from most other artists:

For it is a style that puts an emphasis on the music instead of the artist; on individuality instead of uniformity; on creativeness instead of monotony. First and foremost, though, listening to CRhyme’s entices you to be someone that is truly “you” instead of coercing you into an image that does not reflect your personality.

Young CRhyme is by far not a new face in the Music Industry.1999 he bin on stage with Missy Elliot and had outstanding shows all over Germany. In 2006 CRhyme released his 1st solo Mixtape and sold 1500 copies of CRhyme City 2099. This showed him that he is on the right path and ready to aim for bigger things. He focused more on doing good

songs, than on his actual passion “the battle”.

His last major battle had been in 2006 against Keith Murray (DEF SQUAD).The whole session was unbeleaveable and outstanding.Young released in 2008 his 2nd Mixtape “CRhyme City 2.0”. This Mixtape took him to the next Level. He released his smashing Hit Mami Cant Dance. This brought him to different TV and Radio stations as well as the Newcomer Award (febr. 2010) on Radio Hamburg. Magazines and Newspapers like Backspin, Piste, Bravo Hip Hop , Oxmox and the Hamburger “Morgenpost” He worked with different artist such as Sonny Black, Prince (Dipset Eurostreetz) and Three 6 Mafia who are starting off by doing the Intro.

He wrote the official Anthem for the football team St. Pauli Buccaneers and even performed the Song live at the Stadium on season opening. On his last CD he already wrote a Boxing song for a European heavyweight champion Aldo Colliander .You could even see the event on different sports channels (e.g Eurosport) ,at the end of 2010 he released his 1st DVD including a Soundtrack.

2012 he released his 4th Mixtape Diary of a MADE MENdoza. He got major artists like Snoop Dogg and Dante Thomas on board. He wrote a song about Hennessy and even

shot a shortmovie (sponsored by Hennessy Black).

He just released his debut Album ONLY GOD CAN STOP ME (featuring Mopreme

Shakur , Hussein Fatal, Dante Thomas, Canibus and many more). His Song I MISS YOUR BROTHER feat. Mopreme Shakur is hitting the airwaves worldwide !

Young CRhyme ́s last major success was in Rome. He won the Nigerian European Music Award for best Hip Hop Act 2014 !

He is set to make his way through the Music game and to let world know that HipHop is way more than just bling bling or the average hood talk

Chibok Farm

Tell me sincerely
How did two seven six eggs miss from that farm?
Where were the mother hens?
Why were there no crows?
How great were the eagles?
A vulture can never be taken for a cock

Just A Question?

I had no intentions to post this article as  I am not in favour of promoting   negative stories of our race on any of my platforms, but today I must, because these are truly over whelming times the black race is facing in all seven continents.

Some people may not agree or agree with me but I speak without fear or favour. The dragon is loose and the cavity is deep and getting deeper by the day for the black man everywhere, not only amongst the other colours that make up the beautiful human race but amongst his own self.

The divide and conquer system is still penetrating through modern day society . Today some of my leaders and brothers only see within their own boarders, anything else has nothing to do with them only if it will give them international media coverage.

Today we hear the awakening  of the voices from leaders and mere men who claim they want the best for Africa but in their actions are the deepest form of deceit (I experienced the cock crowing three times with Jesus and Peter ) . H.I.M Emperor Haile Selassie 1st spoke at the new founded organisation “OAU” which is now called the AU in 1945, that all African countries need to work collectively to see change.

Have those words fall on deaf ears to the educated men that have the seats of Leadership?

The good book said “never remove old boundaries and never dismiss wise instructions”. Today mobile phones have truly taken away a huge chunk of human sympathy and compassion away from the heart of men, leaving the vileness of man’s mind and action to entertain the world with such hideous atrocities of human affliction on his own brother and sister. We must remember that many of us has been displaced or seek refugee in other countries from these inhuman actions and some of us are totally lost by way of slavery, chances are we are all related and if we go by the Christian teachings we are all related.

We now live in a world where we are inundated with more information, on a daily basis that’s easily accessible but what are we doing with this information?

You would think one would use this advancement for getting ahead, see where the error started from; where we have fall from glory to our current status, or use this information for the good just like every other race that was colonised and seek to rise above the 1/5 label that the creators of this new system said the black is.

But no, every time you turn around you see black on black violence, police brutality against black, incitement that could be avoided by spectators who’s looking on and videoing such backwardness and they’re being posted on your feeds. You seldomly see the videos that gives the knowledge to empower the young minds of the black child but instead it seems what little common sense is left, is to totally wipe away what little hope their is for the younger generation coming up.

Me posting this is me asking ” is this really my people true behaviour towards his own black brother? ” if it is I guess I can pack my bags and tell my GOD I am ready.

PRESS RELEASE SURGING GREENS SELECT COMMUNITY CHAMPION ABBEY FOR GREENWICH & WOOLWICH

Greenwich Greens have selected long-standing Woolwich resident Abbey Akinoshun as their candidate for the Greenwich & Woolwich constituency at the general election on 7 May. A former NHS nurse and manager who now runs a service offering advice to people facing bullying, victimisation or harassment at work, Abbey Akinoshun has lived in the Royal Borough for more than 15 years.

He served for nearly 10 years as a governor of Hawksmoor primary school in Thamesmead, which his children now attend. He spent 14 years working for the National Health Service, including the Oxleas NHS Trust. He also served for seven years as an elected council member of the Nursing and Midwifery Council, the world’s largest regulatory body.

A former shop steward in the Transport and General Workers Union, in 1999 he was presented with an award by the Deputy Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Commander John Grieve, for fighting discrimination in the workplace.

In 2000 he received an Our Heroes Community Champion award from the South London Press for his voluntary work to fight injustice and harassment in the workplace. Before starting his nursing career he worked for London Underground, cleaning the track and Tube stations at night. He later worked as a kitchen porter before moving to a rehabilitation home for people with mental health problems. “I have represented hundreds of workers at employment tribunals and disciplinary hearings who had no financial means of hiring lawyers to represent them,” he says. “I get motivated to fight for justice for other people, having gone through the same experience myself.

My three priorities for Greenwich & Woolwich will be to ensure we create an economy that provides sustainable and local jobs paying the living wage; to support the local community in their campaigns against the Silvertown tunnel and IKEA in order to reduce the risk of long-term exposure to air pollution and demolition of green space in Greenwich; and I will campaign for the building of more affordable social housing and the use of empty properties to address the problems of homelessness in the constituency.

I have the passion and commitment to serve my local community. My experience in life has given me foundation and knowledge to serve the whole community by representing them in the next parliament.” Originally from Nigeria, Abbey spent six years in Bulgaria earning his masters degree in social psychology from the University of Sofia. He speaks fluent Bulgarian as well as Yoruba.

He later attended King’s College, London where he obtained his professional qualification in Mental Health Nursing in 1998. Before joining the Green Party nearly two years ago he was an active member of the Labour Party and was an elected official in the Erith & Thamesmead branch. “Having been a Labour Party member for over 10 years, I left because, sadly, I no longer saw it as a party to build a fairer society,” he says. “I joined the Green Party because I saw a fast-growing political party which has a fully developed range of policies addressing social, economic and political issues in our society.

I was attracted to the Green Party because of its core values. It is the only party of social and environmental justice that supports a radical transformation of society for the benefit of all and for the planet as a whole. I was also inspired by its call to ensure that everyone has access to a secure job and a decent living wage, and its belief in the restoration of public services to public hands.” This is not the first time Abbey has stood for Parliament. At the 2010 General Election he stood as an independent in Erith & Thamesmead, polling 438 votes. He hopes to do much better than this time. The Greens came fifth in Greenwich & Woolwich in 2010 with just over 1,500 votes, but this year they hope to capitalise on a massive surge in membership in recent months.

There are now nearly four times as many members of the Green Party in England and Wales as there were at the start of 2014, and the party has overtaken both Ukip and the Lib Dems to become the thirdlargest in England and Wales. Greenwich Greens have experienced a similar surge in membership locally so there is every reason to expect a big boost in their vote share. “We are delighted to have such an able and charismatic local candidate who has campaigned tirelessly for workers’ rights and has a proven record of fighting for the interests of people in Greenwich & Woolwich,” says Jan King, Election Agent of Greenwich Green Party. “We are also very proud that, in a constituency where 42 percent of residents are non-white, we are the only political party fielding a nonwhite candidate.

Westminster politicians nowadays talk a lot about how much they respect hard-working people. As someone who learned Bulgarian in order to put himself through university and then spent nights cleaning the Underground so that Londoners could get to work, Abbey Akinoshun knows all about hard work. He already spends his working life sticking up for people who have been treated badly and he will be a passionate fighter against the austerity policies which all the other main parties support, as well as supporting local campaigns for more affordable social housing and against the Silvertown Tunnel and Ikea.”

1.  What is your background and when did you come to live in Woolwich?

I have lived in the Royal Borough of Greenwich for over 15 years with my family. My children attend a local school where I used to serve as a School Governor for almost 10 years. I have been consulting in Employment Law and Regulatory Services in Woolwich for the past five years.

I graduated from the University of Sofia, Bulgaria, where I bagged a Masters Degree in Social Psychology in 1993. Having spent over 6 years in Bulgaria, I speak the Bulgarian language fluently. I later attended King’s College where I obtained my professional qualification in Mental Health Nursing in 1998. Prior to commencing my nursing career, I worked as a Track Cleaner for the London Underground Company, cleaning the track and tube stations at night. I later joined the Queens Hotel as a Kitchen Porter before moving to a rehabilitation home for people with mental health problems where I worked as a Health Care Assistant for few years before commencing my nursing studies.

A few years back, I single-handedly set up an “Employment Law Advisory Service” which offers free advice to people who face disciplinary hearing, discrimination, bullying, victimisation and harassment at work. The Service was self-funded without any recourse to external funds.

People were so touched with my community activities, that in 1999, I was presented with an award, by the then Deputy Commissioner of Police – Commander John Grieve, on behalf of the Metropolitan Police, for fighting discrimination in the workplace. In 2000, I was given an “Our Heroes Community Champion Award” by the South London Press, for my voluntary work to fight injustice and harassment in the workplace.

I have represented hundreds of workers at employment tribunals and disciplinary hearings who had no financial means of hiring lawyers to represent them. I get motivated to fight for justice for other people, having gone through the same experience as well.

2.  I understand you worked in the NHS. How long was this for and what did you do?  Has this work affected your political outlook?

I worked for NHS Trusts for over 14 years and at a managerial level in four different NHS Foundation Trusts within London. My last job in the NHS was a Clinical Service Manager.

During my time in the NHS I witnessed at first hand the damage both the past Labour government and current Conservative government have done to the NHS through the Private Finance Initiative which takes the resources away from the frontline staff. This obviously affected my political outlook.

In 2006 I got to the peak of my career when I was elected by the majority of over 200,000 of the registered nurses in England to represent them in the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC- the world’s largest regulatory body). I used my position to influence major changes in the nursing profession and to improve quality of care to the wider public.

In 2013 I resigned in order to concentrate on my Consultancy business.

3.  Have you always been a member of the Green party or if not when did you join and what attracted you to the Green party?

I used to be an active member of a Labour Party until about five years ago when I left the party. During my time in Labour I served in various posts: as elected Ethnic Minorities Officer for Erith & Thamesmead Constituency Labour Party; Executive Committee Member of Erith & Thamesmead Labour Party; General Council Member of Erith & Thamesmead Labour Party and Member of Greenwich Local Government Committee of The Labour Party. I submitted a nomination form as a prospective MEP (Member of the European Parliament) candidate and I was shortlisted at the initial screening of the selection of MEPs in 2004.

I left the party about six years ago when I no longer saw it as a party to build a fairer society and I no longer share its values as its policies and manifestoes could no longer guarantee opportunity and security for all. I subsequently stood at the last General Election as an Independent Parliamentary Candidate for Erith & Thamesmead Constituency. It is nearly two years since I joined The Green Party. I was attracted to The Green Party because of its core values. It is the only party of social and environmental justice that supports a radical transformation of society for the benefit of all and for the planet as a whole. I was also inspired by what it stands for by its call to ensure that everyone has access to a secure job and a decent living wage; and its belief in the restoration of public services to public hands.

 4.  What are you three priorities for Greenwich and Woolwich?

I am a local resident who has campaigned tirelessly for workers rights’ and I have a proven record of fighting for the interests of local people.

My three priorities for Greenwich and Woolwich Constituency will be to support the local community in their campaigns for “No to Silvertown Tunnel” and “No to IKEA” in order to reduce the risk of long-term exposure to air pollution and demolition of green space in Greenwich. I will also campaign for the building of more affordable social housing and the use of empty properties to address the problems of homelessness within the constituency of Woolwich and Greenwich. I have the passion and commitment to serve my local community. My experience in life has given me foundation and knowledge to serve the whole community by representing them in the next parliament.
