Taking AIM Against Human Trafficking!

As you may have heard we are offering support to another international campaign called Anti-Slavery International. This is because one of the key issues The AIM will be tackling in the long term is human trafficking and modern day slavery whether that be sexual, domestic, agricultural or otherwise. This is a crucial issue and is close to the hearts of various AIM members. Despite what they told you slavery is alive and well in various forms all across the globe. We want to combat it on an international, national and local level because abolishing human trafficking and modern day slaveryit is central in the struggle for human rights.

New York East Coast AIM General, activist and political emcee SAI works on the frontlines combatting human trafficking and slavery. Thus he has released this new track, One Day in June, to mark the genesis of our determined effort to enable modern day slaves to liberate themselves from the shackles of their oppressors. He tackles two very real but different cases, both in relation to child trafficking in order to expose the harsh reality of the sexual and domestic exploitation of children. AIM President and vitriolic Street Poet AK47 has also added a another very personal and raw poem about her experience of being forced into prostitution as a young teenager to her Street Poetry profile page. This is to bring attention to the brutal reality of the sexual exploitation of young girls through forced prostitution which is often a result of human trafficking. Her brave and brutal poem is available here and it will hopefully encourage you to join the fight against modern day slavery.

When you're done with that, please visit http://www.flsny.org/ and tell your friends and family about the difficult work that Farmworker Legal Services is doing in the State of New York. They are fighting for the rights of farmworkers as well as low wage workers and they need your support. If you can make a donation to FLSNY, please do so because every penny counts.

" The nobility of our calling will always be rooted in two commitments difficult to observe: refusal to lie about what we know, and resistance to oppression."

The Art of Lyrics: SAI & Enki

To celebrate the genesis of our East Coast New York/New Jersey AIM Chapter sharp spitting Generals SAI (New York Shot Caller) and Enki (Dirty Jerz Shot Caller) spat some hard AIM truth on the same stage. Our sick spitting political East Coast emcees/activists kicked it hardcore at the Art of Lyrics event on Friday October 15th in the home of Hip-Hop itself, da Bronx. The results were explosive and they repped harder than a flamed up Blood but it was justice not violence these cats were spreading like fucking wildfire. To see how hard they brought it to the Bronx for the AIM East Coast Familia check this hot shyt. Your ears and eyes are gonna need treated for third degree burns homies.

Freethought MC is BACK!

AIM HQ has received some very good news this week from one of our original members, Freethought MC. He has been taking some time away from The AIM recently after some bad health and to concentrate on his family life. Some time back he suffered a mild heart attack and although we have been keeping in touch with him we have been very worried. He has sent us a video via MySpace and we're delighted to see him looking so healthy and happy. He is now in a position to start working on his music again and he has a new production team to work with. If you are not familiar with him or his work then check him out on MySpace here and here and have a peep at his latest video message to us below.

Show some love people because Freethought MC has nothing but love for The AIM.

In other news, AIM member SAI has donated a track to the AIM to raise money. Real Gangsta, a track which hits out at wannabe thugs and pays tributes to real revolutionaries, is available now on ReverbNation. We'd love as many of you as possible to become fans of The AIM Raptivist Collective (which is seperate from our label page) so we can get the music and the message spread as far and wide as possible - you know you are fans already so go along and show it!

Bio

SAI (South American Immigrant) was born in Quito, Ecuador in 1973, lived in Brooklyn during his teenage years, and attended Randolph High School in Harlem. He obtained a B.A. in Creative Writing from SUNY Binghamton. He has worked as a community relations coordinator at Barnes & Noble. For the many years he has been involved in the struggle for justice for farm workers with Farmworker Legal Services of NY, specifically under the human trafficking project. He has been on the frontlines of saving modern day slaves from modern day slaveowners. Moreover he has highligted the way in which human trafficking is an issue of grave importance in a world where people think slavery no longer exists. He has done this as an activist, an emcee/musician and also as a poet because he is a man who knows how to utilize his many talents to benefit the greater good.

SAI has performed his latin style hip-hop at local venues since 2004 and he is the music and lyrical composer/producer of more than 200 hip hop/spoken word songs, featuring various artists in the Rochester community (Including Henry Padrón & Jahaka Mindstorm).

Renan is fluent in French, English, and Spanish and spits lyrical fire in all three languages. He has worked with a myriad of producers and emcees from every continent and appears as a featured emcee in many albums. He has performed in endless amounts of open mic's in NY, LA, DC, Ecuador, and Canada. He recently performed in the Art of Lyrics underground event at The Point in The Bronx, NY., an invitation-only gathering of emcees in New York City. He also belongs to the 4th Sight, as well as to La Gran Colombia which was formed by SAI to represent Ecuador, Dante Vital representing Colombia, and El Veneco (representing Venezuela). He will be working on a collaborative album with all of these collectives by next year and it will be entirely in Spanish. He is also a fully fledged member of The Anti-Injustice Movement (aka The AIM) and has recorded a brand new track entitled 'Taking AIM' for the collective's new mixtape Lyrical Warfare Vol 1.

He published a book of poems in 1996 entitled Until I Meet Myself Again, I Write and therefore he will be an asset to the rapidly expanding Anti-Injustice Movement not only as an emcee and activist but also as a protest poet. The rhyming revolitionary freedom fighter, aka Ecuador's answer to Che Guevara, SAI will be a core figure in the up and coming genre of 'raptivism.'
