BRAND NEW MUSIC VIDEO “SO AMAZING”
ASHERU FEAT. HIP HOP PANTSULA, OMAR HUNTER
Washington, DC – MAY 30TH, 2014 – Asheru has been very busy since releasing “Sleepless In Soweto” in late 2013, including a South African tour with Raheem Devaughn. The Kennedy Center hosted the One Mic Global Hip-Hop Festival in Washington, DC, which saw Asheru perform at the opening ceremony and his own event at Busboys and Poets. Capping off these accomplishments is Asheruʼs appointment as a US Global Hip Hop Cultural Ambassador, sponsored by the US Department of State and the University of North Carolina. Asheru will travel to Bangladesh for a month in the fall of 2014 as a cultural ambassador and teaching artist.
Asheru has been taking regular trips to South Africa over the past few years, and recorded much of his “Sleepless In Soweto” album in Johannesburg. While working there, Asheru and Hip Hop Pantsula (HHP) collaborated on many shows and tracks, including the hypnotic, South African house groove, “So Amazing.” Crafted by veteran South African producer Thasman, the track features vocals from HHP, Omar Hunter El, and esteemed vocalist, DJ and producer, Harrison Crump. The video, directed by Nicky Campos TV, was shot in Johannesburg on Asheruʼs recent promotional tour, and captures the vitality and diversity that makes South Africa a dynamic society.
Both the track and the music video are getting heavy rotation in South Africa on MTV Base, Channel O, and have been climbing the Metro FM Top Charts for weeks, where it is currently at #2. The Song will also be featured on HHPʼs upcoming album release, “Donʼt Disturb This Groove”, due out later this year.
