Reflections of a Hip Hop Yogi (Suwana #DroppingJewels)

#WAKEUP I just woke up to a blessed reflection about our very own Hip Hop Yogi Suwana check out her Tai Rap video in the link below.
"Hey fam, I know a lot of us are dreaming up our plans for the year and I thought I'd put this amazing opportunity on your radar..
Yo! Yogi is a 10 day hip hop/ yoga retreat in Why Nam (best Thai beach spot i've been to hehe) and it is an amazing and transformative experience! I went last year and it really did shift my existence. I am happy to share more if you want to hear my story!
For me, it was so powerful to unplug from technology for 10 days and really pour into myself/ tap in. Get still, open up, get real with myself.. connect with the beautiful people and earth around me. We had a beautiful yoga session every day as well as connective, raw hip hop workshops in the afternoons. Plus, other cool lil things like labirynth meditations, tarot readings, ecstatic dance, body clay rituals, etc.
David and Katie, aka Undakova and Or Nah are humble, wise, and inspiring leaders. I love how balanced the retreat felt. One moment we are spittin wisdom over breakfast, the next we are laughing like kids in the ocean. (Speaking of kids, these two created the cutest child I have ever met and just baring witness to him is worth the price of admission
😂) There was also plenty of time for me to go on lil solo adventures and honor whatever it was I needed in the moment. Plus dope food, amazing swimming, etc etc etc u guys already know Thailand is amazing.
This was the first retreat I'd gone to and I am so glad it was this one! Like I said, the balance is amazing. And you really choose what you want for yourself. You can use technology if you want, connect with other non-retreat travelers etc if you want. Choose your own adventure! I hope to see you there
😊 please reach out if your interested!"

7 Reasons why becoming a member of Beat365 rocks.

As you already might know I go by the alias Undakova (Undercover) and I am beat maker, DJ and MC here in NYC. I have been producing hip hop beats since the 90s and have produced my own hip hop instrumentals for my album created here in New York City. I often get asked by R & B artist and MCs "Can you produce some beats for my album?" One day the question popped up in my head "Where does an artist find great sounding Hip hop, r&b and rap beats that sound so good you play them in your car for fun as well as record song after song with them?" If an artist doesn't have a friend or business partner who is a producer or know how to/ want to produce beats on there own spare time (which can take a lot of time and money) where does he/she find a complete collection of hip hop beats? Well the answer is simple. . . . To find Hip hop, r&b and rap beats that sound so good you play them in your car for fun as well as record song after song with them go to Beats365...

Can somebody say Amen

After a week of seeing different people come in our house and leave our house with smiles on there faces still our sublet process is not complete. I wake up today and meditate my stress's away. Well most of em. Yesterday I spent all day working on a proposal for a school in Washington heights who seem to be interested in having an after-school program formulated by my company Willpowa. Weeks went by and I spent my days working on music and completing songs in the studio only to leave the proposal writing up to a trusted friend and fellow mc. Suffice to say it never got completed due to my energy being scattered amongst recording and subleting my place. Not to mention being a good boyfriend through the process. So turns out my friends from the UK want to look over it this weekend so I will have to submit the proposal in a bit late anyhow but hopefully with more spunk than it had in the first place. Anyway lets just say the only thing that helped me from not having a nervous breakdow...
