WORDS from the HERO
Today is A special day for me, It is a Special day for The Hobbyshop Hero in general and A special day for the world wide web. Today, JANUARY 4th TWO ZERO ZERO NINE is the OFFICIAL release of the long awaited EP from Emcee | Producer MISHOO the Drumkit.
That means that 7 carefully, well crafted wav's of Audio infused with positive energy, raw talent and an unexplainable amount of Sonicly tuned lows and highs are Available for Download.
You might have already noticed that for the 1st time in the history of The Hobbyshop Hero that there is Audio Playing. The Song you are hearing is the Opening track, the Welcome mat if you may to the EP. The 1st track is called "All for one" produced by Elaquent.
The EP is One breathtaking song after the another and even tho its only seven tracks Strong. Each song is So Powerful and well put together that you forget it is only an EP.
The Talent that Mishoo pulled together on this project is off the charts. Each track has an Amazing combination of Inspiring, humble and unforgetable lyrics & Full Rich Sonicly Layered Compititions of production which surpass the mere term "Beat" Together with well placed cuts & The Vocal assistance from Mr. Nnaji & Shaunise and just A Dash of Cameo from The Hobbyshop Hero, Dutchmassive .
I admit, I have come across alot of music that I enjoy. I am a huge fan of Music, Sounds in general so I tend to find most music Classic, not because I am easily impressed, but because there has been a immense flux of amazing music being released the past few years. But "Born in the land of A thousand Hills" is not like other albums, I get A very specific and vivid emotion off of this release. From start to Ending, I truely believe this was destined to be created, and released into the airwaves, to reach ear and soul and ear and soul and keep spreading.
This is the Perfect Album. and the thing is.......... Its only the EP!!!!!!!!
When Mishoo asked me to be involved in this project, or more so... When I asked him.... I didnt realize how much he was going to put into this album. Not everyone treats they're projects with such detail and love. But Ive known from previous Mishoo tracks that anything he was doing I would love to be Apart of. When I wrote my verse for "I cant stop", I had no idea that the verse I wrote would fit and finalize the album so perfectly. I remember getting the beat, which is produced by Comfort Fit and putting it along with another Comfort Fit beat for A Collabo for his album "Polyshufflez" on the Mix..... I walked down to the Beach with my headphones and jumped from rock to rock until I was A quarter mile in the Ocean surrounded by water and seeing the Sun Set...... It is on those rocks, I wrote my verse for I wont Stop.
I will never forget the experience of creating my piece of this album, and it makes me think, what was Mr Nnaji doing when he wrote, or shuanise, I wonder what was behind the creation of this album. Because everyone gets to hear the final result. but it is how the result came to be that makes it what it is.
hahahaha Thats Enough Deep Thoughts with The Hobbyshop Hero for one day, I hope you enjoy this release as much as I do. Be sure to check out all of the Artists that were involved with this release. If there is one thing I am sure of, it is Mishoo the Drumkit is A Rare Talent that Surrounds himself with Likeminded Amazing Artists and Im sure friends and Family as well.
Onto, The Bio of Mishoo, Enjoy....

MISHOO THE DRUMKIT | BIO
Rwanda, the land of the thousand hills is the birthplace of MC/Producer Mishoo the Drumkit, who is releasing his first EP as a solo artist these days.
Born Michael Rugamba Negele, to a Rwandan mother and
German father in Kigali, Mishoo was first exposed to African
music by artists such as Pepe Kallé and Fela Kuti. It wasn’t until
his family moved to Tübingen, Germany that he got into hiphop.
He began writing poems at fourteen which turned into penning
rap lyrics shortly after, influenced by the likes of HeavyD,
Common and Wu Tang Clan’s “Enter the 36 Chambers” LP.
Little time after that, in 1998 he founded the group "A‐Scholars"
with DJ Madsen and Producer JP aka Kutty Sark, which would
eventually result in the production of the album “Mastermind”
around 2002, a collection of soulful, jazzy beats and personal
storytelling raps. The production allowed for Mishoo to develop
his skills as both an MC and songwriter providing smooth vocals
carried by his low voice. Around that time he also co‐founded a weekly hiphop event in his
hometown Tübingen along DJ Sebastian Pohlmann thus providing a new forum for the local
hiphop scene and helping local artists to connect. One notable result is another project of
Mishoo’s – “The Sagitarians”, a collaboration of his with producer Jewelz. In 2006 he realized an idea he’d long had, namely forming a live band to perform "A‐Scholars" material with instruments being heavily influenced by the type of sound of the Soulquarians or Roy
Hargrove.
When moving away from Tübingen for studies, Mishoo concentrated on beatmaking and
production but stayed busy as an MC collaborating with plenty different producers from all over the world, some of whom he’d only connected with through MySpace and other music
networks much like how “The Foreign Exchange” LP came together, logically one of Mishoo’s
favorite albums.
Coming back to the basic idea, “Born in the Land of a Thousand Hills”, as the title of his new EP reads, is very much a documentary of the path Mishoo the Drumkit has traveled as an
artist and a person as he mostly draws from his own life experiences, incorporating his
growing up in both Africa and Europe, his travels or people close to him in his music.
“Born in the Land of a Thousand Hills” features an array of young artists that crossed
Mishoo’s path over the years, such as producers Comfort Fit, Portformat, Hubert Daviz,
Elaquent, Duktus, Swede:art, Drumatic, and MCs/vocalists Dutchmassive, Mr. Nnaji and Shuanise with DJs Madsen and Mawdee contributing cuts and scratches.
The sound is truly soulful, yet with an often electronic approach inspired by the distinct
Detroit sound of producers like J Dilla and Karriem Riggins; …however every track has a
certain abstract twist to it while never forgetting its Hip Hop roots – Mishoo calls it ‘electro
soul’.
“Born in the Land of a Thousand Hills” will be available at www.mishoothedrumkit.com.
Release date is the 4th of January.
