    WHAT SHOULD I DO?

    WHAT SHOULD i DO is inspired by the question that comes up in relationship time and time again, at every cross road, or at every incline or descent, and the answer is in the action, and not solely in the question itself. Should is a word that is: 1. used to indicate obligation, duty, or correctness, typically when criticizing someone's actions. 2. used to indicate what is probable. etc. Nonetheless, should is only an internal question while the next steps are being placed into action. Like Bruce Lee states, “You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend.” So, I say, one should be shapeless, and move with whatever comes to achieve the set aim in mind. So long as one has a direction and a very precise target, be shapeless and nothing becomes a barrier, and everything becomes a teacher. Trusting first the heart, consulting second rationale/logic, and then flexibly balancing both emotion and mind into wise action to align with heart and mind into wisdom.

    the GARDEN - Ext (feat. Salim ALi and N.Sief)

    This is the original introduction Salim ALi envisioned with the production of this track, the GARDEN. The 'source' from which creation flows is the subject of this song, thus the image of a heavenly city suspended and made of crystal, as rendered by Artist Jack Eastgate of EastRand Studios. Each creative idea/song is a seed, how do we plant it, care for it, and share what we bring into this world is product. Can it be financial motivation alone to produce seeds, or heart felt alone, or can they both exist and how? This song also explores the seeds sown and reaped by individual artists coming of age and into their own ability to deliver divine words. Shaped by incentives to socially fit in or financial gains, lyricists are faced with aligning themselves with short-term and sighted immediately gratifying "ends justify the means." or with a broader perspective of alignment with the divine and the purpose of sharing creative sentiments from the source. Producer: Salim ALi Co-Producers: JasWho? & Atiim Chenzira Arrangement: Salim ALi; JasWho?; & Atiim Chenzira Lyrics Written by: Salim ALi; Atiim Chenzira & N.Sief Vocals: Salim ALi; Atiim Chenzira & N.Sief Synth: Salim ALi Bass Keys: JasWho?

    KAVA MARCH (Who?mix Feat. Salim ALi)

    Kava March is a moving chant through an ancient ritual. It is symbolic of Tonga, it's land, people, culture and traditions. It brings the past into the future and binds them together. Throughout the Pacific Kava is the ceremonial drink that marks Friendship, achievement of milestones in life, and unity. ... Important visitors are welcomed in the form of a kava ceremony. This song was inspired by Jack Eastgate, a Fijian native, Bay Area artist, who has been the R2E album art artist for Atiim Chenzira's musical works. Atiim Chenzira recently wed his partner and invited his close circle of friends to his bachelors party located at Whoville Studios in Berkeley California, where JasWho?, his long time friend and producer, recorded this original track, and consequently created a more hip hop version of it as a Who?mix. Kava March, a movement into transition, and a bringing of the past into the future to bind them together. credits from Growth, track released June 22, 2018 Produced by JasWho? & Atiim Chenzira Recorded at Whoville Studios in Berkeley, CA Written and performed by Atiim Chenzira & Salim ALi Published by Ridah Ridah Publishing Record Label: Ridah Ridah Entertainment license all rights reserved

    Life Ain't A Game ft. D-Jones

    This single was born in the Backyard Entertainment Studios with Tunemaster, aka D-Jones, in Indianapolis, Indiana, later to be revamped. The poetry was written many moons ago, and made its way to a Tunemaster track, where it now lives. Later, Kosta Cross took the vocal stems and produced his dynamic dance version, only to be followed up by a rebooted version written and produced at Whoville Studios in Berkeley, CA in January 2016. Though this song has finally found its way to your ears, the message is as fresh as every day, Life Ain't A Game.
