CORMEGA Calls His Journey The Motherland “Awakening”
Entertainment
New York Based Hip-Hop artist, CORMEGA, Calls His Journey The Motherland “Awakening” and Reflects on the Impact It Had On The Recording of His Latest album, Mega Philosophy!
“Africa connected my spirit to its origins and inspired me as an artist,” states New York based emcee, lyricist and poet, Cormega who recently traveled to Uganda, East Africa at the invitation of Uganda Empowers, on a mission to promote peace, brotherhood, and empowerment between continental Africans and those living in the diaspora.
The trip was coordinated by Uganda Empowers, a Ugandan based community organization who mission is to stop the spread of HIV, empower orphans, vulnerable children, and support families impacted by AIDS. Although Cormega has traveled the world, this was his first journey to the continent and he describes his first trip to Africa as “awakening” stating, “It was surreal! Never had I imagined that my music would bring me under the same African sky as my ancestors. I wanted to capture the feeling so I kept a journal, took lots of photos and plan on using the images in my upcoming video.” He adds, “I’ve traveled throughout the world and I’m always touched by the humility, modesty, and kindness of our people globally. It broadened my mind and elevated my ideas for “More” and “Rise” two songs completed upon my return.”
Danyol Quinn Nelson, Public Relations and Outreach Coordinator for Uganda Empowers was Mega’s guide for the entire journey and states, “Cormega spent time embracing the land, visiting schools, clinics, and building connections with members of our Uganda Empowers team. In addition to these wonderful acts, he donated clothes and shoes to members of our community, and upon his return had a laptop computer shipped back to the Uganda Empowers Computer & Internet Services Team. We are extremely honored to host such a respected musician. It was definitely an honor to have Cormega walk the soil and share his time and spirit with everyone. His visit impacted the lives of our staff, volunteers, neighbors, and friends.”

Does anyone reckon there is a chance of Nas being on the D.U Remix?

No doubt, shows positive growth is possible.
Damn....

Off what? Mega Philosophy?
No doubt, I respect his growth too, we need to encourage and praise people when we see that if that's what we want from our people. He could develop into a leader 1 day, he still has some growth to do, but with the guidance of people like Chuck D he could get there. Even him unifying people on the tracks like he's done is a boss move, also respect he worked with Pun's son. Very cool brother, dope music, big talent, am a fan. Look forward to his next work and I hope he drops consistent projects like he said he would from here on out. Because he has potential to move up a MC list the way he is going, his discography is solid, just needs more quality work to rise...
Him and Nas will always be linked together which is a double edged sword..
But I hope he can continue to grow to the point where that link isn't one of the 1st things mentioned
Yep. I'm genuinely proud and happy for Mega. Dude was one of the wildest kids in QB and he's matured into a very introspective, socially aware and humble artist and man in general. This album is a blessing in today's climate.
