Leo ni miaka 12 kamili tangu machafuko yalipozuka Syria na kusababisha vita inayoendelea tangu mwaka 2011 iliyosambaratisha nchi hiyo na mamilioni ya raia wake. Maelfu wamepoteza maisha, mamilioni wamekuwa wakimbizi ndani na nje ya nchi yao na majanga mengine ya kila uchao yanazidi kuwaondelea matumaini raia wa taifa hilo la Mashariki ya Kati.Adhana hiyo inaashiria ni siku nyingine isiyo na nuru bali iliyoghubikwa na machungu na kupoteza matumaini kwa wakaazi wa Aleppo ambayo ilikuwa mstari wa mbele wa vita, majengo yamesalia magofu ingawa bado kuna watu wanaoishi katika magofu haya.Wwatu wengi waliosalia hap ani wale waliotawanywa na vita inayoendelea kwa mwaka wa 12 sasa akiwemo Sabaha mkimbizi wa ndani aliyepoteza matumaini ya mustakbali bora akisema “Vita ilikuwa ngumu, tumepitia kila zahma kama njaa na mashambulizi ya mabomu. Mume wangu na kaka yangu waliuawa lakini hata wakati huo Maisha yalikuwa kidogo rahisi kuliko sasa”.Kweli yumkini hali si hali, kwa mujibu wa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la mpango wa chakula duniani nusu ya watu wa silia wanakabiliwa na njaa na wanaishi kwa kutegemea msaada wa wahisani likiwemo shirika hilo wengi wakiishi katika maeneo ya wazi na katika shule.

Maisha yao yote yenye tija, majengo, makazi yao, na maeneo ambayo watu walikuwa wakiishi havipo tena. Kisha tetemeko la ardhi likaja, na watu kutoka huko walilazimika kuhama tena, ilibidi wahamie kwenye mashule, wengine wahamie misikitini. Kulikuwa na jumuiya yenye nguvu ya kiraia, washirika wanaoshirikiana nao, NGO's zinazofanya kazi ya kuwapa chakula cha moto na makazi, lakini kwa hakika watu wanachokitaka ni maisha yenye tija ,watu waweze kujikimu tene, lakini kila siku wamekuwa wakitegemea kwa kiasi kikubwa misaada ya kibinadamu.”Mdororo wa kiuchumi, ukosefu wa ajira na mfumuko wa bei vimekuwa ni kuongeza chumvi juu ya kidonda kwa wakimbizi hawa wa ndani kama Nawal Shaban “ Hatuwezi kununua chakula cha kutosha kwa watoto wetu vyakula vingi bei haishikiki kama vile nyama na kuku na umeme gharama imekuwa juu pia.”Hata hivyo kuna wale ambao bado wana imani ya nuru kurejea siku moja kama muna ambaye pia ni mkimbizi wa ndani Aleppo “Sasa kilichosalia ni matumaini kwamba vita hii, mgogoro huu ipo siku utakwimu.

B.Cox looks back at underground powerhouse label Rawkus Records and their first major compilation album Soundbombing, which turns 25. After releasing Company Flow's now legendary debut LP Funcrusher Plus earlier in the summer, the label released the compilation with previously released 12" singles in mixtape format. Mixed, scratched and hosted by DJ Evil Dee of Da Beatminerz and Black Moon, the album introduced us to future prominent emcees such as Yasiin Bey (fka Mos Def),Talib Kweli and Shabaam Sahdeeq and producers such as Hi-Tek, Nick Wiz and Shawn J. Period. Sticking to their underground roots with he mixtape format, Rawkus sought to appeal to their underground base and wanted to capitalize on the success that Company Flow had with their debut that summer.While the album did not chart commercially, it made its buzz in the underground with DJs and fans. Several songs are considered underground classics and the release started a run of compilation releases including the beginning of the Lyricist Lounge series and the continuation of Soundbombing series. It also led to the formation of two groups that would have great success: Black Star (Def and Kweli) and Reflection Eternal (Kweli and Hi-Tek); all which helped Rawkus to achieve rare success both in the underground and limited success commercially.Visit The Vault Classic Music Reviews Onlinewww.vaultclassicpod.comSupport The Vault Classic Music Review on Buy Me A Coffeehttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/vaultclassicpodShow NotesThe Hundreds: Counting Down Our 10 Favorite Rawkus Records Albumshttps://thehundreds.com/blogs/content/counting-10-favorite-rawkus-records-albumsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-vault-classic-music-reviews-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
