Minutes after filming this video I was informed of the horrific tragedy that Kobe Bryant, Gigi Bryant and 7 others were killed in a helicopter accident. I want to dedicate this video to those who lost their lives that day. Kobe Bryant is such a huge inspiration for me and so may others around the globe. During this competition we had no idea that at the same moment something so tragic had occurred. I am amazed at the strength displayed in this video and I believe that the MAMBA Mentality was with us. And also, the final repetition of pull-ups was 24.
THIS DOCUMENTARY EXCLUSIVE IS A YOUNG PHARAOH PRESENTATION EXPOSING THE HIDDEN PEDOPHILE & CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES OF THE NATION OF ISLAM TO WHICH MALCOLM X WAS ASSASSINATED FOR TRYING TO EXPOSE.
It is always a great pleasure to display my VFX and Vj skills as VJ CongoTron in a band of 5 as the 6th member, making the whole show look good.
This time as a singer/Videographer/Editor and colorist on Davinci Resolve.

Jazzamboka’s 1st album, is due September 10, 2016 from 270 sessions record label.
This new scene is bring the live painting back but 20 years ago they were between 5 to 9 years old! What new to them is just a repeat from the Y2K era in the Y2K”2″ right now and Gene Pendon aka “Senator Pacman – ouch my shoulder hurt”, DSTRBO, Thau weva “R.I.P”, Tyler Gibney, Omen were brush stroking the city all the way to the International Clubs and Festivals
Message to this era, the next generation has the obligation to make it better than the previous one, so study your peers and take this Torch even further!
I have spoke to Pierre Kwenders and Lord Kitamba, or new djs this and new Dj that or even Mc this and Mc That! They don’t take the time to know who was Alien or Young DJ A-Trak! They are performing internationally but don’t know who Fred Everything was and still is and who was Christian Pronovost in the Deep Room in Aria! The Live Afrouhouse scene are doing live drum and singing but don’t even know their house classics, almost driven by their own ego of i am the new dj in the block!
Anyhow enough bitching..
Westerners got stock into the definition of young adolf. This symbol vibrate in me for what it is:
Love, Light, Luck, Hope and Abundance!
In this Age of Aquarius. Let the real Swastika nature shine on us, we are not in
the 40’s anymore…LET GO OF THAT FEAR!!!
Jewish Afrobeat? Why not? Afrobeat emerged from Nigeria while Israel, the homeland of Jewish people, is way over in the Middle East, but culturally, the two countries might not be that far apart: there are those who believe a particular group of Igbos from Nigeria might be a lost tribe of Israel (throughout history, large populations of dispersed Jews became “lost” through forced conversions and cultural assimilation). The documentary Re-emerging: The Jews of Nigeria, currently screening in the States, examines the issue, and points to similarities in Igbo and Jewish cultures. You can read more about it in this NPR article.
Are they really Jews? Who knows? What we do know is that mashing up jewish music and Afrobeat can work, as it does brilliantly in the hands of the 13-piece Jewish Afrobeat band Zion80. The evidence, their eponymous new album.
On the album, this NYC-based band brings together two legends, Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach (a religious teacher and composer considered by many to be the foremost Jewish religious songwriter of the 20th century) and Afrobeat funk master Fela Anikulapo Kuti (inventor of Afrobeat, producer, arranger, musician, political radical, outlaw and showman par excellence), and explore the music of the former through the lens of the latter.
Thus Carlebach melodies are arranged using the polyrhythmic intensity of Afrobeat, and the result is spiritual, groovy and tight as a drum. Excerpts and one full track below.
Fela’s creation has inadvertently become his gift to the world. You know how you read about the roots of, say Metal, Rock and Roll or Jazz and think, “wow, so that’s where they came from?!” With the way Afrobeat is increasingly being bands from all corners of the globe, and sometimes blended with styles of music, as Zion80 have done, I have a feeling people in the not too distant future will one day read about how some far out new style of music from some completely unexpected part of the world has its roots in Afrobeat, and they too will be going “wow!”.
Yves Rossy is a Swiss pilot, inventor and aviation enthusiast. His jet pack has led to his being nicknamed Airman, Jetman, Rocketman and, later, Fusionman, according to his project steps.
Born in Neuchâtel, Rossy served as a fighter pilot in the Swiss Air Force, flying Dassault Mirage IIIs, Northrop F-5 Tiger IIs and Hawker Hunters. He flew Boeing 747s for Swissair, and later for Swiss International Air Lines.[2]
Rossy developed and built a system comprising a back pack with semi-rigid aeroplane-type carbon-fiber wings with a span of about 2.4 metres (7.9 ft), powered by four attached Jet-Cat P200 jet engines[3] modified from large kerosene-fueled model aircraft engines. Later in 2008, he made a flight over the Alps, reaching a top descent speed of 304 km/h (189 mph) and an average speed of 124 mph.[4][5]
Jet-powered wing
In November 2009, Rossy attempted a crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar, hoping to be the first person to fly between two continents using a jetpack. He leapt from a small plane about 1,950 m (6,500 ft) above Tangier in Morocco in the direction of Atlanterra in Spain. The flight was expected to take about a quarter of an hour but, due to strong winds and cloud banks, Rossy ditched into the sea, to be picked up ten minutes later by his support helicopter three miles from the Spanish coast. He was flown to a hospital in Jerez, and later released unhurt. The Spanish Coast Guard later retrieved the jetpack (which had a parachute and a float).[6][7][8][9]
On 5 November 2010, he flew a new version of his jet-powered flight system and successfully performed two aerial loops before landing via parachute. He launched from a hot air balloon piloted by Brian Jones at 2,400 meters (7,900 feet). [10]
Press releases by sponsors claim that on 7 May 2011, Rossy flew above the Grand Canyon in Arizona. The United States Federal Aviation Administration classified his flight system as an aircraft, waived the normal 25 to 40 hours of flight testing time, and granted him permission to perform the flight. Reporters and a Swiss news website, who had been waiting since the original flight on the day before had been canceled, were not informed so there are no independent witnesses or reports of the flight. [11][12]
He was featured on an episode of Stan Lee’s Superhumans.[13] He has also appeared on the BBC’s Top Gear where he raced Richard Hammond and Toni Gardemeister.
Gryphon’s Next-Gen Parachute System Dresses You In A Stealth Wingsuit, Lets You Fly In Undetected
Remember how cool Jetman Yves Rossy looked on his jet-powered wing? Soldiers may soon be zooming across the sky on a similar-looking wingsuit with Gryphon’s new Next Generation Parachute System.
Described as a modular upgrade for parachute systems, it can help soldiers glide across the sky during high altitude jumps. On a typical 30,000 feet drop performed by US Special Forces, the wearer can glide stealthily for up to 30 miles at around 60 mph, allowing the team to launch much further from the target destination. When fitted with a small jet engine like Rossy uses, that can easily double up to 60.
The Next Generation Parachute System consists of a 6-foot wing that provides a glide ratio of 5:1. All equipment can be hidden in a lifting body, allowing the soldier to fly in with a very low chance of showing up on any enemy radars. The wingsuits will include a guidance system and display navigation – after all, it doesn’t make sense to float up in the air with no clue where you’re going.
While it will allow soldiers to glide in undetected, there’s a problem: they’ll still need to launch a parachute in order to land. You can fool all the radars in the world as you enter the territory, but if you’re falling from the sky with a big-ass canopy, someone’s bound to catch you all the same.
According to the Gryphon, they’re trying to develop ways to perform landings without the aid of a parachute to overcome the obvious problem. Now, when they do manage that, these soldiers will literally be swooping down like Superman. Or Mighty Mouse, since his size makes him stealthier.
