Raps.co | Presents Deson Teninchy from Brooklyn, NY!

Check out the recording artist, composer, performer, producer, and street poet Deson Teninchy’s latest album titled “First Supper”. Click on the image to go straight to the source!

Which has been officially released through Estate Entertainment and has already demonstrated the initial signs of impact within the entertainment industry.

According to the label’s representative, Nicole White, while this album is intended to be construed as somewhat unorthodox by hip-hop aficionados, the artist’s and label’s goal was to appeal to a more conscious listening target.

“We’ve tried to capture DESON’s passion and somewhat aggressive lyrical delivery on ‘First Supper’ to counterbalance it with its underlying wit, metaphors, and the strength of an inner-city point of view within its content.“

Brother Resistance - Dancin Shoes Rapso (Rapso Take Over LP 1986)

Sexypink - In Bereavement - Thank you Rubadiri Victor for permission to reprint your recollections in text and image of a talent gone so soon.

.................................................

Rest in Perfect Peace Mark Akini Nottingham. My Deepest Condolences go out to his Family & Closest Friends- especially to a brother-in-arms like Arnold Goindhan... It is distressful when it is someone so young & still so full of Promise... Mark was an enormously creative soul, with a grand appetite for Life & Creative possibility. When a number of us sparked the underground creative movements of the 1990s, Mark and a cohort of his peers from the St Joseph Valley emerged as the next Rapso young guns- Black Lyrics. 

They were the face of the Rapso generation right after the Kindred generation. They in fact have a pretty good album of young Teen Rapso that has never been released. This may be a great time to bless it with air... The group of four escaped the limitations of their valley home and 'Pinny' and Mark especially descended into the sometimes viper-pit that could be Trini and Port of Spain theatre (lol). 

They actually broke the mold and did excellently for themselves, becoming steadfast working actors and creators- probably the hardest working theatre men of their generation... Mark was a member of my troupe of actors in my company- the WIRE BEND Folklore Theatre.

 They were the first people I called when I formed it in 2015. I owe him, Pinny, Renee Michelle King, Nicole Wong Chong, Karina Andrews 'Arlette', Kurtis Gross, and others so much because they committed to be the vehicles for me to tell my stories, and have done so since. Mark and Pinny in particular have been fearless in disappearing into roles and collaborating with my madness. Not every actor can act well in full body costumes and puppets- fewer can manage 7 complex costume changes, whilst nailing all the respective characters per play.  Dragons, Imps, Lions, Wolves, Old Men, Children, African Kings,- Mark never hesitated to wrestle with the role and render it. He was especially my go-to to play 'The Boy'- that recurring immortal archetype of the mythical innocent young male. 

He did not need to act it- he was very much the Boy. Apart from his fresh-facedness he had that openess, curiousity, and appetite for life. He also had the naughtiness of the Boy too... Because of this and his wit, he also was my choice to portray my version of the traditional Anansi... He nailed it...He and Pinny, like many of us who choose this life, have a profound connection to 'the Child inside' and for the sacredness and essentialness of Play. So Mark was playful as he embodied those essential archetypes- and also as he moved through life. 

He was a committed Teacher, Actor, and Rapso-man. He was moving into being a full multi-media titan embracing film/video and more- especially dedicated to the disenfranchised Boys of the Street- the Zess generation. He wanted to record their songs and tell their stories in film (one of the other things about Mark is that he got things done). I think he understood how profoundly the Arts expanded his life from being an urban village boy from the St Joseph Valley with ceilings on his expectations. 

He wanted to repeat that emancipation for others...Mark- though young- was very much a family MAN. He had a relatively large-ish family and was an excellent father to his kids, who he adored. My heart goes out to them... Too young. This one. Too young. A lot of good ones are going. 

We can only hope it is as Stalin said, ''MORE COME...''We will dedicate the 2023 Season of Wire Bend in April to him. Rest in Peace, Young Brother...

Omari Ashby and Tyker Phillip performed a creditable cover of Olatunji's Engine Room to close the tent when the headliner failed to show. Here they are still buzzing from that jam. Omari has been associated with Kaiso House for more than ten years, starting off doing artwork for flyers and newspaper ads for the calypso tent. He has MC'd shows for TUCO, hosting Kaisorama, Extempo shows and Rapso Explosion production. Started with MC'ing at Kaiso House in 2019. He's never performed in the tent as an artiste. He describes working with Tyker as pleasant and describes her as bringing a youthful energy to the hosting of the tent performances. Tyker is pumpkin vine family and I met her for the first time on the night I showed up for to photograph the calypsonians and she was gracious about my absolute and embarrassing ignorance of her. I blame her mom, Roxanne Herbert. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. #calypso #kaiso #tent #music #Carnival #singer #performance #trinidad #trinidadandtobago #tuco #kaisohouse #portofspain #queensparksavannah #motherofallcarnivals #2023 The Calypsonians 2020 began as an attempt to survey and record in portraits the calypsonians working in tents during each year's Carnival season. It is an imperfect record, dependent on the willingness of individuals to participate and tents to accommodate the project. The first photographs were made in 2020 with visits to five calypso tents. During the pandemic, it was continued in 2021 and 2022 with photos done in an office at the studios of WACK TV during streaming sessions hosted by the station.

FLY HIGH #BrotherResistance @richardbranson please allow us to borrow this @virginatlantic #rocket to help take his spirit up into the cosmos.. Thanks @zoomkingtt for reminding us to put him on this flight.. This late rapso pioneer and President of the Trinbago Unified Calypsonian's Organisation (TUCO) passed away on Tuesday night at the Westshore Medical Private hospital. He was 67 years old + said to be ailing for some time. Known for songs such as "Ring the Bell" , "Mother Earth" and "Cyah Take Dat", Resistance was the co-founder and lead singer of the Network Riddim Band. The band sang and popularised rapso music, originated by the late Lancelot Layne. Resistance, who changed his name from Roy Lewis to Lutalo Masimba, was born in East Dry River, Port-of-Spain in 1954. A former student of the Queen's Royal College, he was inducted into the school's Hall of Honour in 2017. #brotherresistance #rapso #culturalicon #caribbean #musiclovers🎶 #caribbeanmusic #socamusic #reggaemusic #dancehallmusic #reggaetón #latincaribbean #miamicarnival #vibes #restinpower (at ITU-Upper Atmosphere and Space Weather Lab) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRTwWQdgOjS/?utm_medium=tumblr

Born Roy Lewis, becoming Lutalo Masimba and evolving into Brother Resistance, leader of the rapso movement in the 1980s and the lead singer of the Network Riddim Band, this artist created a space for a generation of young poets who would  find release in an earthy new sound characterised by dense, swirling lyrics. The Network wasn’t welcomed. The police trashed their rehearsal space in 1983 and many of their concerts at City Hall were poorly attended, and I know this because I went to write about the work they were doing there. Later works from Resistance became more introspective and worldly and led to tours and foreign engagements. Since 2011, Masimba has led the Trinbago Unified Calypsonians Association, first as acting president and then appointed in two successive elections in 2013 and 2016. This 1991 photograph was shot for SG Magazine, a revamped Sunday Magazine for the Guardian that I did with Dexter Lewis @dexout and Marlon Rouse between 1990 and 1992 (the first issue was on the press during the attempted coup and was never released). As it turns out, I went into the People’s Mall on Frederick Street to photograph Resistance with a whole other plan in mind, but I forgot a component in my gear and the flash wouldn’t work. So I photographed him in a shaft of light lancing through the makeshift roof.
