DJ Victorious and Sha Stimuli Present Black History Mixtape

Author: Omar Burgess

"Each one outlines a prominent or unknown figure in black history over Sha Stimuli instrumentals," explains DJ Victorious [click to read]. "We started on Super Bowl Sunday, which is the first day of Black History Month, with Jim Brown [click to listen]."

Having already established a brand with concept-driven mixtapes such as The March on Washington and The Secret, Victorious adds that he needed no additional motivation for the series.

"I basically seen a need," explains Victorious. "Growing up, we are taught black history started from a slave ship and ended in the '60s with Martin Luther King, Jr. I basically wanted to shine the light on people who history has damn near forgotten...or has yet to honor. I thought it would be good to do audio over some of Sha's tracks to keep it entertaining as well as informative. [Hopefully] the beats will help the info sink into their heads."

Sha Stimuli and DJ Victorious' "Black History PSAs" can be found each day for the rest of this month in HipHopDX's audio section.
