Just in time for Hip Hop History Month, a retrospective compilation of staHHr’s stand out features, remixes, collaborations and take overs spanning the past 11 years (2000-current). Mixed and mastered by DJ Deliver. I chose the extremely powerful, mystical 11/11/11 gateway to bring forth this audible reflection upon where I’ve come from in the past 11 years musically, etc. as well as the starting point for where I’m headed ( “Mother Ntr with a Molotov Vol. 1″ soon come). Whether you’re a long time staHHr enthusiast that’s been on board since my first recorded appearance in 1998 (MVPS stand up) or you’ve just recently discovered me, I will that you will enjoy this trip down memory lane, this moment of sankofa (going back and getting; seeing where you’ve come from so that you’ll know where you’re going). I’ve had a few releases that were put out with my name misspelled or under another psuedonym, thus “That Was You?” is to clear up any confusion and set the record straight .. that yes, that WAS me. :) You can purchase the download and listen to “That Was You”? here now. http://stahhr.bandcamp.com
Much love and gratitude to all of the mcs, singers, and producers that I co-created with. If you aren’t familiar, you’ll definitely want to check them out too.
Your support and love are priceless, and you truly are a FAMbase. LOVE!!

When I designed the new staHHr logo, I sought something universal, "simple" and visually appealing. I desired something that would convey many different things to many different types of beings simultaneously, as well as trigger ancestral memory and activate the volumes of information stored in our DNA. A student of ancient Khemet/Kush, I was drawn to the symbols of that region instantly. The shen stood out the most, because it spoke to EXACTLY what I was vibrating on personally as well as what we as a whole would benefit from tapping in to as we realign and shift paradigms: longevity, protection, leadership, feminine principle, etc. Any name (ren) encapsulated in the shenu (elongated shen, you may have seen it referred to erroneously as a "cartouche") is said to protect both the name and bearer of the name from negativity and give them longevity. The tiet (knot) at the base of the shen represents eternal life, Auset/Isis, power and if we added a djed pillar (column, male principle) to the bottom, we would have an ankh, a symbol of eternal life, the combined power or womb, man and child, etc. The star in the center of the shen is representative of my name, staHHr, as well as of the womb, women, the five elements of nature, the five divine/universal principles love, truth, peace, freedom and justice, etc. These symbols have multiple meanings depending on the time and place where they are used. My research brought these meanings forward for me to share and I will that you will take the time to ingest this information and trigger those memories. The following info is from: http://egyptianmyths.net/shen.htm
Shen Ring
(shen)
"Appearance: The shen ring is at first glance a circle with a horizontal line in a tangent along its bottom edge. However the shen is more than meets the eye. The shen was a stylized loop of rope with each end visible. Meaning: In many cultures, the circle was a symbol of "eternity." Such symbolism is evident in familiarities such as the wedding ring of Western cultures, the Gnostic ouroboras and the ying-yang of China.
The same is true of the shen ring. Deriving its name from the root shenu (to encircle), it was almost always a symbol of eternity. However, the shen ring also held the idea of "protection." It most often carried this connotation when seen in its elongated variation, the cartouche; which surrounded the birth and throne names of the Pharaohs.
The shen frequently appeared depicted in the claws of the avian forms of the falcon-god Heru/Horus and various vulture goddesses. An example of this can be seen to the right. The shen was also depicted at the base of the notch palm branches held by the god of eternity, Heh."

SHE WILL BRING BALANCE TO THE FORCE..
Cosmic bliss.. join the five flavors of fresh She the Hard Way on our new website. Embark on the journey to restore Ma'at (balance) to Hip Hop. Peace and Love!
Peace and love! Maintaining this momentum has been quite a ride. Loving the energy I'm surrounded by, the beings I'm interacting with. The opportunity to teach and learn from everyone I've been interacting with, even on the most basic level, is a true testament to the power of intention and the law of attraction. Yes, long before that book and DVD, the law of attraction existed. That's part of UNIVERSAL LAW and when you accept and know who you are, the LAW(in all forms) proves to be one of your greatest allies. I'm on my Seven Principles of Truth hard body right now (Kybalion). Enough of that, I know you probably want to know what's up with the music right? I am working on a new project, which will be completed before the end of this year. Recording and writing right now and I'm about seven songs in.. amazed at what's coming out of me and even moor amazed at the rate they are coming. It seemed like it took ages for "Almost Neva Was" to come together and it was very unorthodox in a sense, that whole process. I'm focused, really getting into my groove and exploring multiple realms, allowing myself to be open and receptive to receive and transmit. In the coming weeks and months, I'll be sharing footage from the Wesleyan University lecture and show, a new music video ( or 3) and some exclusive freestyle/off the head joints as well as a "best of" collaborations compilation with various features I've done. I will this will keep my staHHrgazers satiated until the full course meal is ready. I'm updating the "Co-signs", "Gallery" and "Videos" section frequently, so be sure to subscribe to the blog. I also have some gems for "El's Kitchen.. stay tuned. Lotus 5000.
