Rhymefest Speaks On His New Film, “The Public” And On The Importance Of Us Building Family & Networks Instead Of Being Loners (Video)

I swear I was just going to watch long enough to see what beef he had with Kanye & Kim because I had not heard such. But Rhymefest has words, man! And we all need to hear them (not necessarily even agree with everything said, but appreciate the manner in which they are shared… much food for thought… and action)!

Jeff N Fess – “Mr. Officer” feat. Eric Roberson (Prod. By The Playlist A-Team)

Serious music making happened at Jazzy Jeff’s Playlist Retreat 2016. Here’s one of the dopest outcomes of the gathering, Jeff N Fess (DJ Jazzy Jeff & Rhymefest) lacing a beat produced at the event – “Mr. Officer” (featuring crooner Eric Roberson).

After hearing a few bars of a particular arrangement, Eric Roberson was inspired to write. The first words uttered: Mr. Officer, can you spare some change? If they say art imitates life. Then Mr. Officer, by Jeff N Fess, feat. Eric Roberson, is art’s response to life. “Some people march, some people protest; we make music,” says DJ Jazzy Jeff of the motivation behind releasing Mr. Officer. Increasing reports of police brutality and deaths of unarmed Black men at the hands of law enforcement led to this musical expression of hurt, anger and frustration. Mr. Officer is produced by The Playlist A-Team, comprised of DJ Jazzy Jeff, Stro Elliot, Daniel Crawford, Steve McKie, Kaidi Tatham and Eric Lau. This ensemble of gifted musicians worked together to create a sound that uncomplicated, yet moving. Lyricists Eric Roberson and Rhymefest shine light this complex and emotional issue with heartfelt simplicity.

You will cry hot tears by the end. Expect it. Powerful music with a powerful message powerfully delivered can overpower you like that.

In My Father’s House (Trailer)

Chicago’s Che Smith, widely known as Grammy-winning artist and songwriter Rhymefest, spent the majority of his childhood without his father. “In My Father’s House” documents Rhymefest’s search for his father. He found him, but as the trailer above more than hints, what happens from that point is no fairy tale. A boy who suffered through youth knowing that a father he never really knew simply walked out on his mother and him, finds that upon walking back into his father’s life, he may have to be the more ‘parental’ of the two. Looks to be a stirring film; currently playing at Tribeca Film Festival.
