"For the collaboration in the "Global Hip hop" Cd, by Manteca label"

I sometimes wonder what thoughts must slip through the mind of Kool Herc during his quieter moments of self-reflection. What does the man who is credited with single-handedly kick-starting the Hip Hop revolution think when, literally everywhere he goes, the impact of both the music and its culture can be seen and heard in no uncertain terms? With that in mind, I wonder what Herc would make of an album such as “Global Hip Hop”, a collection showcasing beats and rhymes from a diverse selection of worldwide locations as far-reaching as Beirut, Tanzania and Chile. Would the musical pioneer be able to hear the link between the music included here and what was being created in the streets of The Bronx thirty-years ago? Immediate standouts include the lively Latin-lingo of US-based crew Delinquent Habits on “Return of The Tres”; the raw vibes of “Blaw” from Senegal’s Positive Black Soul and the haunting “Mayiatiko” from Greek female rapper Sadahzinia. - BLues & Soul Review


"Umicah project: Greece blends with UK hip hop"

This record is brought to you by Active Member, Greece's premier hip hop crew, comprising of MC/ producer B.D.Foxmoor, MC/ singer Sadahzinia, they are both pioneers in the Greek hip hop scene. On this they 've hooked up with artists such as Rodney P, General Levy, Pyramoya, Winston Irie, Optimas Prime, Tara Busch, Poedra to fuse together a collection of Greek and British hip hop and reggae. There's much we can learn from the greeks as Active Member sell over 100.000 records and indigenous hip hop is heralded on the island. [...] all Mcs have a unique flow and competent delivery and when translated the lyrics are high in conscious roots content. Sadahzinia puts too many Mcs to shame with her tight flow and soulful vocals. This is alargely ethereal, atmospheric and polished production. - Undercover magazine

Bio

Sadahzinia has been tirelessly spreading her highly politicised anti-bling gospel across for the last ten years. Initiating an entire Grecian hiphop movement, she has been working solo or with Active Member, Greece’s most successful hiphop group. Her genre of music is quite different from any other kind of hip hop, and thus has a distinct name of its own: "Low Bap".
These past years she has worked either in the studio or on the stage with several artists both from abroad and from Greece, such as Waldemar Bastos, Sokratis Malamas, Rodney P, Skitz, Killa Kela, Mixologists, Adam Fuest, Winston Irie, Chris Hall, Oliver Wilson, Dynamo Dresden and others. Also, apart from Greece she has often performed in festivals in London, Wales and Germany.
She has a healthy diregard for the “rules” about what a rapper ought or ought not to do. For example, she writes and publishes her fairytales. Indeed her art name is inspired by a Caribbean tale and comes out of the words: “sad” + “jah”+ the flower “zinia”. In summer 2003 she wrote a theatrical play, “The Magician of Fire”, and presented it in a crowd of +3000. The play was accompanied by a live symphonical orchestra and a Dj.
Her first albums were released by WEA. However, in 2003 Sadahzinia found “8ctagon”, her own independent label which provides a vehicle for record releases, tours, movies and the like.
Through “8ctagon” she released her fifth personal album, “Petranasah”.
