-----------------------------------------------

 

Rapattack pays tribute to the late great and first international global superstar

Michael Jackson (1958 - 2009).

In commemoration DJ Ricky with the MC Bronx took the place by storm when they performed a live and spectacular 1-hour long medley to a capacity-packed crowd at Londons' Notting Hill Carnival in August last year.  Respect goes out to all those who shared the experience while we tracked down over 40-years worth of Michael on original Vinyl recordings.  The vibe was electric.

   ----(free Download coming soon).

A truly magical talent which will deeply and undoubtedly be missed...

 

"You're one of us Michael, so we're always gonna love and remember you no matter what people may think or say... Truly a champion in the fight for recognition and historical achievements for Black music and musicians as a whole...  

A sad and tragic loss" (Master MC)


-----------------------------------------------


 

WHAT'S NEW!!!!!
Or shall we say what's not new. Life inevitably has its ups and downs. As we journey through life, we are touched by its pleasures and pains. We experience joy and sorrow, love and heartache, anticipations and regrets, but thanks goes out to the higher power who invented emotion and feelings that can be touched by such things as sweet soulful music...  After all, hasn't there been a time when either the melody, but certainly the lyrics of a tune has really touched your heart, mind, body and soul??? or brought that tear to your eye? Come on- admit it. Don't be shy. It's all about feelings. It's all about love. It's all about life- and we're all confronted with the struggles of moving onwards and upwards, especially in dealing with what can only be described as the challenges we have to endure. I suppose in a way it's like gambling- Break or bust

What is the tune or song that really touches or has touched YOU???

We want to know. It's easy so please do let us know by entering your song here- click here

ON THE DECKS AT CARNIVAL
Rapattack is one of Carnival's most well known and popular sound systems. For DJ Master MC there are a couple of hiccups in the run up to the big day this year, but nothing that can't be rectified. There's also time for some practice mixing at home. Check out the Master MC on video at the BBC website - click here (this links to the BBC website)
