Brought from the essence by a mother who herself had every intention of raising Ira as a model citizen soon found herself a victim to the struggle and drug fueled environment that was Hartford in the 80s. Blacastan was also born of an affair. Both Blacastan and his step father thought they were related biologically until Blacastan was approximately 6 years old. According to Blacastan, "My step pop was a good guy. Even after findin' out that I wasn't his kid he still showed me the same love as he showed my brother who was actually his real son". But like any relationship built on lies, eventually the situation got really sour between Blacastan's mother and his step father. Blac explains, "Nah mean, who blames the guy? Thats alot for somebody to swallow." With a family structure under constant strain and an environment that bred mischief, Blacastan quickly fell victim to the pitfalls of the Hartford ghettos. Gangs like Los Solidos, the Latin Kings, and 20 Love were warring for control of every corner of Hartford and drugs quickly soaked into his reality. Not only being forced into selling the the poison simply for survival, Blacastan soon became a victim of the substance as well.His desire to contribute to the genre only grew as the hip hop songs the radio began to embrace slowly lost the essence of what rap music was intended to deliver.Ironically, since instrumentals were almost non-existent in the confines of government sponsored captivity, Blacastan was forced to write his lyrics to the self despised songs that ...MTUMEMtume was born James Heath Jr., the son of jazz saxophonist Jimmy Heath, in Philadelphia. He was raised by his mother Bertha Forman and pianist James “Hen Gates” Forman, who played in Charlie Parker’s band. Forman introduced the young Mtume, literally, to some of the greatest jazz musicians of all time.“Just imagine, you’re 9, 10 years old, and there’s Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Sonny Rollins,” Mtume told Red Bull Music Academy in 2014. “I never was hip enough to know just how brilliant a situation that was, but what I did know about jazz musicians were they were an extraordinary group. Witty, funny. There was nothing like sitting around a table of jazz musicians.”
I do not own any rights7th WonderStezoTHE SEVENTH WONDERThe 7th Wonder were an American soul-funk band from Tuskegee, Ala., that released two albums on Parachute Records in 1978/79, followed by a third on Chocolate City in 1980.Members: Jerome “Thump” Thornton (bass), Johnnie Hammond (drums, percussion), Marvin Patton (guitar, vocals), Iulus Chislom (keyboards), Allen Williams (percussion, vocals), Wilbert Cox (vocals), Deborah Mathews (vocals)The band originally recorded as Seventh Wonder, issuing two singles on Abet in 1973/74: the two-parter “For the Good Times” (a Kris Kristofferson composition) and “Ain’t Nothing Gonna Break Us Up” (b/w “Let’s Stop Kidding Ourselves“). The first of those was included on two mid-’70s multi-artist compilations issued by Contempo. The band’s third single, “Captain of Your Ship” (not the Reparata and the Delrons song), was issued on small-press W.G. in 1976 with “Pharoah” on the flipside.As 7th Wonder, the band released Words Don’t Say Enough in 1978 on Parachute Records. It was produced by Jerry Weaver, who co-wrote seven of the eight songs. It generated three singles: “My Love Ain’t Never Been This Strong,” “Words Don’t Say Enough,” and “People In Love Do The Strangest Things” (titled “People In Love” on the album).In 1979, 7th Wonder issued its second Parachute album, Climbing Higher. It features eight songs, including “Young Girl,” “Something Inside You Feel,” “Something Beautiful,” and the title-track. It was co-produce by Weaver and ex-Commodores bassist Ronald LaPread. The songs “Daisy Lady, “Do It With Your Body,” and “Living My Life Just For You” were released as singles.The third and final 7th Wonder album, Thunder, appeared in 1980 on Casablanca-subsidiary Chocolate City. Weaver produced six of the eight tracks, two with direct input from the band. The album’s first single, “The Tilt,” was produced by Leon Sylvers III. The other singles were “I Enjoy Ya” (#33 R&B) and “Stop Before You Break My Heart” (produced by Lakeside). LA. Connection served as the horn section on this recording.Weaver later co-produced the debut album by Janet Jackson.STEZOStezo was born Stephen Williams in 1968 in New Haven, Connecticut.[1] He first appeared on the hip-hop scene as a dancer for the group EPMD.[2] He appeared in the video for EPMD's single "You Gots to Chill" from their 1988 album Strictly Business.
