Bring Hip-Hop back to the streets, back to the people, back to life!
Hip-Hop began as a resistance movement, speaking directly to oppressed peoples everywhere. Yet as of late hip-hop has fallen into unrighteous hands. Its voice no longer represents the cries of the oppressed, but rather the flaunts of “devilishment” and ignorance. Through the promotion of lavish spending and tangible goods, hip-hop has been utilized as a silent weapon in the quiet war currently ensuing against a rapidly growing minority population.
Overstand the power of this rap shit; you sambo, singing niggas! I, Kemet Asen, have constructed The Hallow Movement to breate life back into hip-hop. This site highlights work from D'jedi, Vintage, Supreme, B.Free, Love, and Kemet Asen.
ONE!

Why this name?
My name was given to me because I use to study ancient African civilizations. It represents a return to the essence.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
If your music is good it's going to sell regardless. As a fan of Hip-Hop I have been let down too many times; now I can peep your sh*** before I spend that $15. If it's hot I support, if it's trash I can dump it in my recycle bin.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, if I can exercise creative control!
Band History:
The Hallow Movement, a group of eight emcees was constructed in '95 with the aim of just buildin' and adding on as a family. Yet in 2000 it got real when this rap sh*** started fallin off. Exercising understanding and maturity The Movement started to hold weekly meetings, laying out the blueprint to bring hip-hop back. The group is currently in the lab working on a NEW demo. Keep your ears to the street!
