PRESENTING YOU MOBASSIK

Afro universal Hip Hop and a Mo(re) Basic lifestyle, that's what 'Mobassik' represents. This urban BelgoAfrican/cultural Hip Hop group started as an idea from two brothers with different backgrounds: the Tanzanian/ Belgian MC/ Producer extraordinaire Binara (who formerly worked with X-Plastaz) and the veteran MC/DJ Sibo (formerly JeM'enFish DJ). Their music connects with different cultures, languages and styles. Singing, Raping, chanting in English, Français, Nederlands, Kiswahili and Lingala - 100% Belglobizationized. Today Mobassik includes Sly, Sonya Eyama as well as a live band with a back vocalist, guitarist, bassist, drummer, pianist and a saxophonist. Their roots are based worldwide.

Their unique style of rhyming and writing may just be a new chapter in the guidebook for Hip Hop/ World music redemption with their conscious approach and clear, uncensored lyrics. Non-speakers of the languages can still appreciate the Mobassik's syllable play. Singing, rhyming and chanting in different languages and mixing African vibes with Jazz and Hip Hop grooves - three totally different styles in different languages (the multicultural Brussels). Their low grinds and up tempo beats are ventilating a hopeful and positive attitude which has certainly been tested over the years.  Mobassik often works with 72soul (the guy behind Arsenal's hit single "Mr. Doorman") and Roxy (white pearl with a soul voice) on their live shows, all which mixed with Hip Hop, Afro beats, Reggae, Jazz, Drum & Bass and African spirit makes it all good!

As they delve into their personal life experiences, they find the guidelines for their lyrics. Their songs touch upon a diversity of sensitive, often controversial topics such as peace, freedom, discrimination, poverty, aids, limitless love, famine, corruption, culture and tradition, recognition etc. Mobassik songs transcend global tastes and performed with the well known vitality of Mobassik, which keeps on surprising many. Mobassik is currently working on the second EP which will be released in 2008. Enjoy.
