13t of the 13th Tribe
Drop zone has a Foreign Policy and now goes even further Worldwide to expand its Geo Music Politic by welcoming The 13th Tribe, and their very own and highly unique brand of Tropical Hip Hop, to the stable .The 13th Tribe features International Multi Lingual Rappers, Vocalists and Musicians from all corners of the Globe ,mainly Havana Cuba, Barcelona, Cameroun, Nigeria, Senegal, Miami, North Carolina, Morocco, Algeria, Guinea Conakry, Haiti and Venezuela. The 13th Tribe serve up a burrito of beats & rhymes , all finely chopped and diced by Glasgow's very own 13t,long time compadre and musical collaborator of Eastborn.
Jazz/ Funk/ World/ Trad-Folk and Hip Hop Multi Instrumentalist Musician, Dj and Producer, 13t, brings pearls of musical wisdom to the Drop Zone fold, with his own inimitable freestyle of Conscious Afro/ Indo/ Celt & Tropical Tinged/ Latino Hip Hop. His DJ CV is no humble affair either and speaks volumes about the form and content of his own sets, as hes strutted the boards alongside Rap Royalty such as the sublime Godhead of Conscious Hip Hop; Gil Scot Heron, Run DMC, Mark B and Blade, Peter Parker/ Fingathing /Grand Central, The Scratch Perverts, The Young Disciples, Giles Peterson, Krash Slaughta and Jah Wobble to name but a few. Many Glasgow Headz may remember him as the man behind the Decks with Ground Control who hosted the Residency @ MChuills where many of Old School Glasgow Rappers and Djs, from The Freak Manoovers to Eastborn & Psycho D,all cut their teeth. He's more recently been spotted Djing and Producing around the Iberian Peninsula from Barcelona to Lisbon and from Valencia to Vigo, flying the flag for Scottish, UK and World Hip Hop.
The 13th Tribe also work in unison with Spanish based, non profit, music charity called VOCA.
VOCA exists to serve immigrant artists based in Spain and to help further their careers, whether it be by helping them record, helping them obtain
gigs or even simply offer management advice-all for free. VOCA also works in unison with www.abisinios.org which is an Ethiopian charity
dedicated to the welfare of mentally and physically challenged kids in Ethiopia.
Drop Zone goes full circle with this latest signing as it was 13t who Engineered, Produced and Co Wrote Eastborn's first ever Demo way back in the 90s,so it is with great gusto and mighty aplomb that Drop Zone welcome aboard The 13th Tribe.
