REVOLUTION OF THE MIND - REBEL RAP
CD / DVD
SPLNTR / THIRD EYE RECORDS
Revolution of The Mind consists of one MC (I.Sheik) and a lead turntablist/producer (D-Fi) whose influences are equal part Machiavelli and Miles Davis. Sheik and D-Fi work tirelessly not only at perfecting their crafts, but also at promoting justice and improving the lives of the people by conveying truth through art and standing with like-minded individuals in their community. Their approach reflects the historic intersection of political/social movements with art and counter-culture in the Bay Area, where ROM was created.
Since 2005, ROM has opened for artists such as Dead Prez, RZA & GZA, The Beatnuts, Guru of Gangstarr, Psycho Realm, Hieroglyphics, Zion I & The Grouch, and many others. ROM has also performed on stage alongside Sabac Red (formerly of Non-Phixion) as part of Sabac's live routine, and plans to continue that relationship in the future.
In 2006, ROM connected with the creators of the groundbreaking 9/11 documentary "Loose Change". As a result of that partnership, a free DVD of "Loose Change: 2nd Edition" is included in each package of ROM's debut album "Rebel Rap". The 2-disc set is also packaged in a rarely-seen Super Jewel casing, with a crazy album cover design that depicts the Statue of Liberty pointing a Mac-10 at a swell of protesters standing at her feet.
The Rebel Rap LP represents years of conceptual development, song writing, composing, recording and post-production, and it encapsulates the passion, politics and personal struggles of the group's members. Definitely recommended for fans of The Roots, Immortal Technique and Dead Prez.
