#Untold Music Promotion

[dearlexies]

if you are a REAL ENGENE read this until the end, it's long but so so important!!!

I need Engenes to start supporting enhypen the same way they do with us, and I'm being serious.

I warn you that there will probably be some spelling mistakes because English is not my first language, but honestly at this moment I don't give a damn about that I just hope you understand what I have to say.

I'm so tired of seeing other fandoms talking bullshit about the boys, and dragging the group and members at every opportunity. This is not the first, the second, third and definitely won't be the last one. I'm not saying for us to be like them but for us to start being better, and not in a way that they talk shit about enhypen and we just let it happen without saying a word but in a way that they talk shit and we show the results!!!

WE ENGENES are the ones who make them break records, WE ENGENES are the people who should support them on this path, WE ENGENES are the people responsible for voting and streaming their music and honestly we are not doing this well. Romance : Untold was a perfect album, and Sunghoon said he expected to get 3 wins with this album; instead we only got one. and sometimes it feels like it was purely luck. we had a goal for the XO mv to have 40M views on the first month, now 3 months have passed and we are still at 33M. XO and BTHB had the chance to trend on tiktok and we let it pass. How do you expect Enhypen to be known? Honestly Belift doesn't promote them too much, and in the few times that it happens y'all let it pass and act like it didn't happen. So the only ones who can ACTUALLY promote the group are us engenes.

The ones on Tik Tok are useless, most of them don't vote, don't stream, don't watch mvs, are only there for interactions and comment "who's your bias??" at every video. The ones on Twitter are fighting with each other all the time. The few on Tumblr are only here for fanfics. And not to mention the fake engenes that are LITERALLY telling us to boycott the group which is honestly the worst thing we can do for them!!!!

So please, all I'm asking is for y'all started acting as a FANDOM. we need to unite, connect, whatever, to help the boys to grow. Can we please do this???

ENHYPEN already warned us that next year's schedule will be super busy, that means they already know their plans and have accepted the challenge. We should match their pace in terms of working hard all year. ENGENEs I ask you, are you ready?

let's support them with whatever we can and I ask all the Engenes to kindly stream we need to go on a steaming lockdown. Every Engene who come across this comment kindly stream to their fullest, collect rewards for music shows, Stream music videos etc.

But let's not start it next year, let's do it NOW!!! as we know enhypen will probably have a comeback in November so download higher, all charts, idol champ, mubeat, mnet plus, upick and star collecting for the voting, you don't need to download all of them just one or two is already good enough to help. Just download the app, do your attendance, watch some ads, and when the voting stars just vote for enhypen, simple like that. We have one month to collect so when it starts we're ready.

ENHYPEN has a chance to take AOTY to this year's MAMA, we urgently need to increase streams in romance:untold, listen to the album as much as possible, let's give them this award, please!!! Moonstruck is kinda trending on tiktok right now so let's keep it that way post videos with the songs, do edits, dance challenges etc

and also, enhypen is the only bg of the 4th generation to have four songs with 300M on spotify and I know in the future there will be many more, but right now we need to make given-taken have 200M on Spotify so here are some playlists for Romance Untold and Given-Taken

R:U & Given-Taken 2 hours

Given-Taken to 200M

Given-Taken to 200M + XO focus

Romance Untold 8 hour stream

as Engenes we need to support our boys they not rookie's anymore they are Senior now. They have big goals in 2025 ENGENES need a mindset like ENHYPEN.. ENGENES also need a Big Goals to our boys like Deasang!!!! let's work hard

The Truth Untold

I think when you are normally an optimistic, positive personality, it is more difficult to deal with negativity, especially when it originates within one's self. Speaking from my own experience, optimism sometimes feels like a force field that keeps most negativity out. But sometimes the force field fails when the negativity is coming from within.

It seems this was the case with Jimin back when he had all these feelings a few years ago.

These emotions that originated within himself affected him so much that he needed to expel them from his mind. So he expressed them through music. He gave us his very personal album filled with his own hidden feelings that he'd kept to himself. This album was so personal to him. It was his own cathartic exercise in rebuilding his optimistic force field.

We all know how difficult it is to express our own deeply felt emotions to those around us. Many of us internalize and go on. But Jimin pulled these things out of himself, crafted these thoughts into lyrics, wrote and recorded songs, and let these songs about his emotions out into the world. He showed the world his raw self.

How many of us can even attempt to speak one sentence about something deeply personal that we've kept to ourselves without fear of being ridiculed or humiliated?

So if you ever have confided something very personal to someone and all you got back was "this is how you fix it, you should have done this or you should have done that and you are being over sensitive, why are you like that..." do you see how that sounds? It is dismissive.

Those of you who are right this second as you are reading this, you are thinking "but he deserves everything, he deserved more promotion, he deserved more cake, he deserves it all, he was sabotaged, he didn't get what he deserved."

Yes, he deserves it all but the way you all go about saying those things is selfish. You are selfish. You are saying to Jimin that he made a mistake, that he was shortsighted, that he wasn't smart enough or assertive enough or that he allowed himself to be controlled by whatever big bad guy you've latched onto to justify your selfishness.

You were dismissive.

Try to remember, there are ways for us to shower Jimin with praise and love that do not involve tearing down him, tearing down his company, tearing down other fans and the other members.

When I say "tearing down" that's exactly what I mean. Jimin chose how to give us this intimate part of himself and some people told him that how he chose to give it to us wasn't the right way, it wasn't good enough, not enough promotions, just not enough to get what he deserved. He went about it the wrong way.

Jimin is a slow processor of his own emotions and of things going on around him so it has taken him some time to allow his inner over-analyzer to process everything. We've known he's an over-analyzer so it takes time for him to process all of it.

This is what this Truth Untold letter is about. He basically admits he is slow to process everything.

He admits when the #1 Billboard achievement happened, he did not understand the importance of it at the time and now that he's had time to process everything, he feels pressed to thank us now.

He apologizes for taking so long to acknowledge and thank us for loving him and showing so much appreciation for his first album which was so personal to him.

He feels our love. But he for sure saw your selfishness.

We will learn more about it all when his documentary drops next week and I feel like it will hit even harder how difficult this whole process was for him.

Just be grateful like he is.

YOU TASTE THE SILVER - IvanTill WIP (Part 9)

Guys, I don't normally post here unless I have at least another POV ready, but I'm gonna admit this last Ivan POV is NOT working out. I rewrote it three times, and it's still fighting me. Hopefully I can dig myself out of the ditch, but oh well. Y'all can enjoy Till's POV while I suffer.

ON AO3 - part one - part two - part three - part four - part five&six - part seven - part eight

Till's life is going well. He's used to the new house, he's found new inspiration to write and mix more songs ever since Mizi's concert, so he's going live more often, which means his audience has been growing steadily. Dewey got a promotion at work and Isaac is doing an EMT course that will guarantee him a promotion as well.

He's also started chatting more often with Navi, enough so that they are... almost friends? He doesn't want to assume, but Navi is always so happy to talk about anything Till wants that the conversation flows easily. Navi especially likes to know what Till is eating, all the boring details that Till finds himself... eager to share. Till has never been overly chatty, and idle conversation is awkward, but somehow Navi shows so much interest in what he has to say that Till finds himself invested in expressinging himself more, in looking for things to talk about.

Navi likes knowing what Till thinks of the weather, and actively engages with him over which brand of ramyeon is better. Somehow, they can get into discussions over the most innocuous thing, and end up discussing music and lyrics and mixing for hours on end.

They have an ongoing discussion about the use of english in lyrics, which frequently comes back up whenever one of them thinks of another argument, and also an untold pact of sending animal pictures to each other; Till sends pictures of any dog he sees on the street, because Navi said it's his favorite animal even if he can't have one, and Navi sends back cat pictures, since his sister has one and cat pictures are easier than snake ones, which are Till's favorite animal.

Till feels... warm, about it. He's never had many friends, being a lone wolf throughout his school years; he was always in detention, or going directly home after school. He'd always had a temper, something that only really cooled after he left school and was allowed to focus on music. Dewey was his brother, not his friend, and Hyuna was more of an acquaintance than a close friendship.

Till also felt. Guilty, maybe? About the amount of money Navi kept spending on him. He wasn't a friendship expert, but he was pretty sure friends didn't send you almost 50$ dollars when you complained about picking between ramyeon and tteokbokki and told you to pick both.

(Till knew it was a mistake to migrate over from texting to Kakaotext, since now Navi could send him money directly through that. But he also had to admit the amount of stickers Navi used was beyond cute.)

Navi had also sent him some other gifts, beyond the spontaneous kakaopay transfers and normal stream donations; he's sent Till a collection of rings after bothering Till for a week straight to give him his ring size, a comfy sweater that Till didn't take off for a week due to how soft it was, and so on.

Till felt a weird tingling feeling on his stomach, a blush taking over his face whenever Navi sent him anything. He's normally fine ignoring it after a token protest, too practical to actually deny money.

He thinks he should feel bad about it, or something. Dewey told him, a few weeks into his streaming career, that he'd feel awful about getting so much money and not giving it back. Till thinks it's an exchange; he streams and people give him money for entertaining them. For a little while, the same applied to Navi. Why should he care if someone wasted their money on Till? He didn't think gacha companies were at fault for people's spending habits.

That was until they started texting. That was until Navi stopped being just a name on the screen and became a person who liked dogs, did spicy challenges for fun and had strong opinions about the conservation of endangered animals.

Till thought he might start to feel guilty, then, or at least want to pay Navi back somehow.

Instead what he gets is a warmth throughout his chest and an entirely undignified urge to squirm in place. He likes it when Navi spends money on the most mundane things, when Navi tells him to get himself some food. When Navi sends him money with instructions to get something specific Till scrambles to get it, and enjoys the treat with red cheeks and an unknown tightness in his chest.

He doesn't get it, and he's too embarrassed to talk about it with anyone else.

(Reviewing the memory, later on, will show Till the following; the weird warmth, the urge to squirm, it is arousal. Till likes it a lot, when Navi gives him things and tells him what to do with it. He feels spoiled and taken care of and confusedly horny about it all.)

He's doing his best to not care much about it, but his weeks-long wave of good luck seems to have run dry, because he ended up sick some two days ago. He's had to cancel three streams already, and is miserable enough he's debating actually going to a doctor about it.

Luckily for him, he's not coughing or nauseous, which are his least favorite symptoms. He is congested and his nose is running all the time, and he does feel feverish, but there's not much he can do about that except sleep it off.

He's currently huddled into his couch, slowly eating the samgyetang Isaac made for him and watching a show Hyuna recommended. It's a simple, no-thoughts-necessary show; the female MC is a former yakuza member that's trying to leave her past behind and live as a teacher, and the two competing love interests are a big executive type who has a child on the school and is an ass to her but is able to afford a pretty luxurious life as long as she goes along with his plans, or a old member of the Yakuza who fell in love with her when he was a child and is now reforming himself to be able to stand besides her "in the light", as he put it.

Till is cheering on the yakuza guy, mostly because he's a lot sweeter than the asshole executive.

He's also live-blogging to Navi, who has been hovering so badly that Till gave up and allowed the other to get his actual address so Navi can buy him some soup and energy drinks. He thinks he'll regret it later, but he's not complaining right now, when Navi is making sure he has food delivered for every meal and also all the necessary meds.

You [ 5:47PM ] Oh look, the asshole is going on a business trip. Maybe we'll get some good scenes with the yakuza guy now.

Navi [ 5:47 ] You're really invested into this, aren't you? What do you even like in this character?

You [ 5:48PM ] He's just so much better than the asshole. I don't get why girls would ever go for someone who's so rude to them.

Till huffs, looking up at the TV as the in-between episode extra starts. They're always funny, showing the behind the scenes and some interviews with the actors. He likes the main actress well enough, and by what he saw the actor for the asshole is a well-established star that he had no idea existed until now.

Well, the same can be said of the younger yakuza guy. His actor, someone named Ivan, is talking about how he prepared for the role, and Till can't help but be interested. The asshole guy only talked about his physical conditioning, but Ivan is talking about how he talked things over with the director, watched former-yakuza interviews and did his best to research about the motivations of his character.

He's also very handsome, in an endearing way, and Till can't help agreeing with the interviewer when she tells Ivan his fans will love the role, and that seeing him do such an earnest character will get all the girls swooning.

You [ 5:48PM ] Also, seeing the interviews, this Ivan person is just a lot better than the other actor. He cares a lot more about his character, which I think is way more important than how you look.

The interview ends, and Till decides to send another commentary before getting up to fetch more tissues for his nose.

You [ 5:48PM ] I bet Ivan would look cute doing aegyo. He's got the face for it, at least. Though I don't know if actors do that, I've only seen Idols do it on command.

Message sent, Till puts his phone to the side and gathers his little mountain for tissues and shuffles to the trash can, dumping them before refilling his water bottle and getting a new box before snuggling up again.

Navi still hasn't answered.

He frowns. He knows Navi can be busy, he definitely has other things to do rather than keep Till company, but he usually sends a BRB text if he'll be away from his phone for more than a minute.

He's still a little sick, and fervish, and miserable, so he doesn't think too hard about it and messages Navi again.

You [ 5:50PM ] Navi?

Navi [ 5:51PM ] Sorry, hyung. I just got surprised. My name is Ivan as well.

Till makes a little surprised noise. Ivan isn't that common of a name. What are the odds?

You [ 5:51PM ] Wow, it must be weird to share names with someone famous.

Navi answers quickly, but with far poorer grammar than what Till is used to.

Navi [ 5:52PM ] haha yeah well, I got used to it. do you like Ivan?

You [ 5:53PM ] I haven't seen much besides this series, he seems pretty good. Did you have any recommendations?

Navi – or, well, Ivan. Till quickly goes to change his contact name before he forgets – takes some more time to answer, and Till decides he must be busy, so he puts the show back on, doing his best not to sneeze into his soup. It's only as he's almost napping that he gets a text.

Ivan [ 5:52PM ] "Creating Heaven", "So long, not enough" and "Kamera" are tolerable, but hyung should watch some more and tell me what's your favorites!

Till is too sleepy to type, so he just takes a picture of himself giving thumbs up and snuggles back on his couch, Ivan-the-actor's soothing voice talking with the MC lulling him to a nice, dreamless sleep.

—————————————

English translation:

In the previous lifetime, it was Asura who laughed at the loneliness of the human world. 

In the current lifetime, it is the Buddha who fell and burnt into the six realms. 

If the plants nor trees could comprehend the suffering from love;

Hence, why turn around and melancholy cry about love and hatred? 

You sigh over the begonia blossoms that could not escape withering yet again;

What is there to see, now that the illusory dream has ceased to be?

Offering earnest prayers over the long steps of staircase covered with heavy snow,

By good fortune, able to exchange it for more lifetimes of entanglement. 

The story of three thousand stairs which remained untold;

Being the transition between separations and reunions through several lifetimes.

Only through those harrowing memories of twists and turns of life that are profound to be remembered through the ages.

Worries forgotten as flowers bloom, sorrows unfurled as flowers wither;

Yet, who still remains here again? 

Not perceiving through the heart but through the frowning eyebrows; 

Through the stubborn reincarnations of several lifetimes. 

Not inquiring past events, nor discussing love and grievance;

All of a sudden, the snow has blanketed the world. 

The begonia flowers fall again, yet patiently wait for the light rain. 

As you observe the silence of the drizzle and perceive its loneliness,

What is the reason behind your eyes full of sadness? 

It is my blood-stained hands that are clinging tightly, 

Fortunately, you are here; right by my side.

The story of three thousand stairs which remained untold;

Being the transition between separations and reunions.

Only through those harrowing memories of twists and turns of life that are profound to be remembered through the ages.

Worries forgotten as flowers bloom, sorrows unfurled as flowers wither;

Yet, who still remains here again? 

Not perceiving through the heart but through the frowning eyebrows; 

Through the stubborn reincarnations of several lifetimes. 

Not inquiring past events, nor discussing love and grievance;

All of a sudden, the snow has blanketed the world. 

The begonia flowers fall again, yet patiently wait for the light rain. 

As I kiss your face, I can picture the begonia flowers blooming;

The dream was over; leaving the long corridor steps and the desolate place alone.

That year seemed endlessly long;

That year’s wind was too ferocious.

Not forgetting even a moment of the time we embraced each other.

Worries forgotten as flowers bloom, sorrows unfurled as flowers wither;

Yet, who still remains here again? 

Not perceiving through the heart but through the frowning eyebrows; 

Through the stubborn reincarnations of several lifetimes. 

That year seemed endlessly long.

That year’s wind was too ferocious.

Not forgetting even a moment of the time we embraced together.

Notes:

[1]: Demigod, see Asura in Buddishm.

[2]: Six realms is a term in Buddhism, which makes up a cycle existence

[3]: Mostly refer to Chinese Crabapples (Haitang). This flower is often used in Erha.

[4]: Very possible referring to the story of “The Governor of Nanke”

[5]: Only the three thousand stone stairs silently witnessed everything;

[6]: Chu Wanning often says things not from his heart due to embarrassment, but everytime he flusters, his brows would frown. Much like Lan Wangji from MDZS: the face doesn’t show anything, listen to the heart.

Jimin's second release after this first solo album FACE. Several parts of the concept reference the smeraldo flower, a fictional plant from the Bangtan Universe (BU)

Right before the announcement, a discussion channel was opened on the official BTS account on Instagram to tease it. It featured a picture of a music sheet titled "La Lettra", that ended up being "전하지 못한 진심" (the truth untold) (src #1, src #2, src #3) from the album Love Yourself 轉 Tear. As for the "You will always find the first letter" hint, it was implying to check the first letter of each circled word to get "Closer Than This", a track of the album released in December 2023. The last picture sent on the channel is of a handwritten letter (eng trans).

It seems Jimin worked on MUSE and FACE at the same time since in the documentary Jimin's Production Diary that followed Jimin during FACE conception, he has the same nails as in the MUSE teaser (see this Bangtan Bomb at 0:13, cr.). In addition, there was a handwritten letter in the documentary that was titled 전하지 못한 진심(The Truth Untold) (src).

People also pointed out that in his Festa letter, released just a few days before the announcement, Jimin promised to come back with a letter, possibly hinting at the "La Lettra" music sheet (src).

On the day of the album release, the BT21 account posted a cute video of Chimmy (the character created by Jimin) with a smeraldo flower.

The album comes in two versions : BLOOMING and SERENADE. There is also an exclusive Weverse version. On the BLOOMING ver. the ME letters are bigger while on the SERENADE ver. the US letters are.

Tracklist

The pre-release track and the main track titles were teased through a crossword poster on the Instagram channel (archive).

Jimin mentioned this title in the Jimin's Production Diary documentary (src). It's also mentioned in the Weverse magazine article "When you look into Jimin’s heart, this is what you find".

The concept is inspired by Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, an album from the Beatles (src).

Like in the choreo for "Permission to Dance", the dance here features some sign language that says "love" (src #1, src #2).

Gayle Dean Wardlow: Chasin' That Devil's Music: Searching for the Blues (1998)

Contrary to what you may have heard -- or not heard, as it were -- Black History Month hasn't been canceled this year; in fact it's as vital and meaningful as it's ever been.

In my modest efforts to promote it, last week I wrote a few thoughts about Miles Davis' essential autobiography, which almost doubles as a history of jazz itself, so this week I'll turn to some music that's even closer to my heart: the blues.

Now, I own a lot of books about the blues and early 20th Century Delta Blues, in particular, but few of them build a more immersive facsimile of the harsh world that spawned these musicians than Gayle Dean Wardlow's Chasin' That Devil's Music: Searching for the Blues.

Why, by the time I finished reading it, I almost jumped in my car and drove off to find those mythical crossroads where the devil and these supernaturally gifted bluesmen supposedly conducted their nefarious business.

Born in Texas and reared in Mississippi, Wardlow began collecting blues 78s and their creators' untold stories in the 1960s, literally knocking on strangers' doors in search of first-hand accounts while cataloguing what few official records could be found.

His efforts dispelled a huge number of fallacies, falsehoods, and outright fantasy, and though Charley Patton and Robert Johnson drew the bulk of his obsession, Wardlow's investigations shed more light on an almost incomparable trove of lesser-known bluesmen.

Here's a short list to whet your whistle: Skip James, Tommy Johnson, Ishmon Bracey, Garfield Akers, Hayes McMullan, Peetie Wheatstraw (a.k.a. 'The Devil's Son-in-Law') -- all of whom make the comparatively well-known Elmore James a strange choice to grace the book's cover.

But this shouldn't deter you from digging into these reverential pages, ideally soundtracked by the accompanying CD, which combines vintage blues performances and some of Wardlow's personal recorded interviews with many of these legendary artists.

At a time when haters and trolls are complaining about Beyoncé winning a 'Best Country Album' Grammy -- as if white Americans haven't spent the past century shamelessly appropriating black music, art, and culture for their own benefit! -- books like this are more important than ever.

Featured Records:

Charley Patton: Complete Recorded Works Volume 2 (2013)

Tommy Johnson: Complete Recordings in Chronological Order (1928-30) (1998)

Peetie Wheatstraw: Volume One: The Devil’s Son-in-Law - 1930-1936 (1969)

Skip James: The Complete 1931 Session (1986)

engenes we need to make this comeback perfect, the boys work hard on these songs so we will work harder showing how much we love it and letting other people know about their work, so here are some ideas on how to promote romance untold on tiktok and bring attention to the album (bc we have the tiktok effect in our favor)

moonstruck = cute trend for couples we're you show videos that made you fall in love with them, edits with your favorite couple from a series/movie

xo= xo dance challenge, confess to someone giving them a paper saying "do you love me? X or O" and use the song

brought the heat back= your idol/favorite character being coll, sports celebrations (Olympics year!!!), party edits

highway 1009= friendships edit, enhypen edits about the boys

any music= boy's say's "i love you enhypen said *lyrics*

Royalty/Paranormal: cute edits with your favorite shipp

Also vote for enhypen in idolchamp and mnet plus

[reflections-in-a-critical-eye]

We now know the running time for the Jimin videos. I still don't understand why The Truth Untold is less than 3 min and separated from the production process segment if it's somehow connected to Letter. But we shall wait and I see. I need a release date asap. Two hours of Jimin, this feels like heaven.

Also, I've rewatched the music video for SMFPT2 and man, I just love a choreography that tells a story. That it's there as an extra metaphorical level to express the lyrics. I'm such a sucker for that. It just tells so much about the artist. So much.

I also watched one of his live stages for the song. I kinda get where all the money went because given the scale and production value, that did not look cheap. I mean, what Jimin did for his promotions in terms of music video/live performances stages is at the pro level.

Hey there!!! My name is Joy, and I'm the director and main scriptwriter for a new and upcoming original musical!

The musical is called "This Story is Mine to Tell or Keep Untold", and follows Milena, a young priestess chosen to be a champion for the gods. She finds herself navigating a web of deceit, secrets, and unexpected alliances. As she unravels the truth about her destiny, her friendships are tested, and the very fabric of reality is questioned.

"This Story is Mine to Tell or Keep Untold" explores the complexities of friendship, the consequences of divine interference, and the resilience of the human spirit. Milena's journey is one of self-discovery, as she confronts not only gods and demons but the truths hidden within herself, all placed on a background inspired and influenced by Slavic Mythology - whether it be in the form of the gods, Weles and Mokosz, or the demons, Vanja and Żmij.

And here's where you come in. Alongside my creative team, we have this wild idea to show the musical before a live audience - but we're missing a few elements. See, some elements aren't *entirely* worked through. This is what we need you for - to help us tie together the final strings.

We're opening auditions - for social media managing (so as to help us create a larger presence), artists (to help create promotional content) and musicians (to help out with the songs as well as potentially recording them for an international album release)!

Our auditions are open to anyone aged 13+. I hope to see you on the server!!!

DOCUMENTARY | FOUNDING FATHERS: THE UNTOLD STORY OF HIP HOP

‘Founding Fathers’ è un documentario sui dj forse meno noti ma fondamentali per la fondazione e lo sviluppo dei pilastri dell'hip hop e della sound system culture come la conosciamo oggi. Narrato dalla voce di Chuck D, leader dei Public Enemy, questo documentario è un viaggio a ritroso, alla scoperta delle radici dell’hip hop. Il film ci trasporta agli inizi dell’underground, a cavallo tra disco music e le ghetto jams. Mostra la realtà dei deejays nelle strade e nei parchi di New York City. State pronti ad ascoltare la leggenda di Grandmaster Flowers e KC The Prince of Soul, Disco Twins, DJ Divine, DJ Lance, Nu Sounds, King Charles, Pete “DJ” Jones, DJ Hollywood, Charisma Funk e molti altri. E di come a Brooklyn e nel Queens ci dessero dentro, forse anche più e prima di Uptown. Una carrellata sugli unsung heroes, quelli che hanno fissato le fondamenta della casa e in qualche modo ne sono poi rimasti fuori. Le radici dei primi rap, la storia della musica afro americana vista sotto una prospettiva diversa. Prendetevi un’ora e mezza e godetevelo.

‘Founding Fathers’ is a fascinating history of less known djs, emcees and promoters in Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan, and their roles in hip-hop and NYC sound system culture. While the Bronx is the acknowledged birthplace of hip-hop and home to its greatest and most storied pioneers, ‘Founding Fathers’ presents the largely untold story of folks exploring a side of hip hop culture that is not often exposed. Be prepared to listen to legends like Grandmaster Flowers e KC The Prince of Soul, Disco Twins, DJ Divine, DJ Lance, Nu Sounds, King Charles, Pete “DJ” Jones, DJ Hollywood, Charisma Funk and a bunch of others who were putting it down in the other boroughs during the original school/park jam era. Narrated by Chuck D of Public Enemy, this film is a factual report about unsung heroes, who contributed to the foundational principals of the music known today as Hip Hop. It will transport you to a journey back to the early underground disco days of the streets and parks throughout New York City. Take an hour and a half and enjoy.
