9 Countries, 4 Continents, 1 Song.

"I Am" is the latest international collaborative effort from global Hip Hop ambassador, rap artist and #HipHopEd representative AWKWORD, creator of the 2014 album World View that featured -- for the first time in Hip Hop history -- contributions from every continent on earth (djbooth.it/wrldvw). As part of his ongoing effort to connect us worldwide through Hip Hop music and culture, as well as showcase the Motherland, the Diaspora and women in Hip Hop, AWKWORD connected with Nigerian-born Canadian producer Teck-Zilla, Nigerian songstress Maka and French DJ J Hart to recruit an All-Star cast of emcees to join him on the "I Am" Global Posse Cut, including Latasha Alcindor (USA), Holstar (Zambia), Wakazi (Tanzania), Five Steez (Jamaica), Modenine (Nigeria), The Assembly (South Africa), and Third Eye (Malawi). Aptly entitled "I Am", the song features 9 emcees sharing truths about their lives in their respective home countries across Africa, the Caribbean and the United States. The song will appear on AWKWORD's 2016 EP Mid-Flight and the forthcoming Best of AWKWORD mixtape, sponsored by The Hitmen & ItsBizkit.com.

I really like what AWKWORD has been doing lately. He has been connecting different cultures from all over the world for the love of music. He is also proving to everyone that there are talented artists from every walk of life. This track isn't the first time he featured artists from other countries either. He has been doing it for years. This is something the SoundCloud community does very well. We all need to remember that music is a collaborative industry and the more we collaborate, the more success we can achieve.
