BROOKLYN MEETS AFRICA

United Through Music(U.T.M)was founded by Envy, producer from South Africa and Prince Michael G. Vincent(Prinxmikul), emcee from Brooklyn New York who both met online and fell in love with each other's work and decided to hook up a collabo in late 2010. The first song was released online in early 2011 and caused a lot of buzz on social networks. Following that the duo thought they should work on a project where they get different indie artists/producers from all over the world to do a collaboration album, which will be released online. Only a few producers/artist bought into that idea, one of them being  Vez Scenestar, a local producer whom Envy has known for some time after  meeting  via the “beat tape inc tapes”. Vez Scenestar  was interested and was a fan of  U.T.M ‘s work so he contributed a beat, which turned into a song after Prinxmikul laced on it (Gun For Money). Following  the success they decided to do an album with Prinxmikul  as just two producers from South Africa and an emcee from New York and it will be called “Brooklyn Meets Africa”. This is history in the making, never in the history of SA hip-hop have South African producers produced an entire album for an artist from the US. The album will be released sometime this year, it’s the first Vol. because they have been working so much that they have enough songs for 3 albums and they are still working on more, but the first volume's done!!
