On the eve of the release of Tampa rap duo Yo! Majesty’s debut album for Domino Records, the group’s outspoken MC Shunda K (tinyurl.com/yomajesty-SPIN) has announced that she will host and present a series of club nights at the Original Sessions Art House on John Street in the Wall Street district of lower Manhattan.The night, dubbed La Di Da Di Rock Da Party will commence on September 20th and continues every Saturday thereafter. Shunda K will also present shows at the room during every evening of the upcoming 2008 CMJ Music Marathon running October 21st through the 25th.
In keeping with the philosophies that permeate Shunda K’s work as an artist, La Di Da Di Rock Da Party is meant to act as a venue for artists of different genres to come together and rock the people with the common cause of breaking down preconceived notions and ideas about ourselves and our world around us. And, of course, to get down on the floor while doing it!
Shunda K has big plans and doesn’t consider the night anything short of the first step towards a worldwide ministry. “I have such a long ways to go,” she says. “That’s what keeps me humble -- knowing what I have to go through. This is my ministry and ain’t nobody gonna hold me back from building the people up. I’m going to establish ministries across the world and this is just the beginning.”
Some of the artists set to appear in addition to Shunda K herself include Bunny Rabbit and Black Cracker, The Loom, Elizabeth Willis, Gangi, Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson, Festival, Josh Bloom, Black Peter Group, The Terrordactyls, James Jackson Toth, Hey Willpower, Tha Pumpsta, Starfucker, Shy Child, Rosetta Stoned, Quitzow and many more. A listening event for the upcoming Yo! Majesty album Futuristically Speaking… Never Be Afraid is also in the works.
