Let me tell you--this album is FIRE!!! Litefoot has been working in the studio, grindin ALL out on this album and really has put his heart and soul into it. From the beats (with dope native sounds infused--trust me- nobody's doin it LIKE this in hip hop) to the lyrics (lyrically-this is his best album yet). NOW IS THE TIME TO STEP UP AND SUPPORT!! Do you know if just 17% of Native people throughout Indian Country purchased Litefoot's album--the album would go "GOLD" (500,000 UNITS SOLD). Wow---what an impact and we can really send a message to mainstream society. We, as Native people, are stronger when UNITED not divided. No Native has ever done that before and it would be huge for Indian Country! That would make a statement beyond words to the music industry and the world! AND THAT'S IF... JUST 17% OF OUR NATIVE POPULATION GOT INVOLVED... thats not counting Litefoot's fans outside of Indian Country. BLOG • TEXT • BULLETIN • EMAIL Your energy and support matched with thousands of others is an incredible movement! And remember it ain't over on 11.11.08- THAT'S WHEN THE FUN REALLY GETS STARTED! THE ALBUM WILL CREATE EVEN MORE ENERGY ALL ON ITS OWN! Litefoot has been reppin for Indian Country for years and through sheer determination, hard work and perseverance--he has definitely earned his "stripes" in the Rap Game and as a Native MC. A brief look (very brief-because I can definitely elaborate) at what's behind the album title... This album is titled RELENTLESS PURSUIT-- the name speaks for itself--and it has been a RELENTLESS PURSUIT on every level (trust me, he is going to write a book!)... 1) a RELENTLESS PURSUIT for HIP HOP and the masses to recognize, acknowledge, and respect a NATIVE MC just as HIP HOP accepted Eminem, Big Pun, Fat Joe and many others --it all started when his first single was getting radio play in Tulsa, OK and a major label wanted to sign him but told him they did not want him to talk about his Native American heritage, basically because mainstream did not IDENTIFY with contemporary Native music. Litefoot turned down the deal and started his own label- Red Vinyl Records. Since then, he has released 10 albums independently, toured and performed thousands of shows all over North America and has grown a loyal fan base--grass roots style. Litefoot has performed in diverse venues from Palacio De Ex-posicion in Rome, Italy to New York's Nassau Coliseum with Jadakiss, Busta Rhymes, and Ludacris in front of a packed house of over 20,000 people...to remote "Reservations" in the United States and Canada. Over the years, Litefoot has made a mark and has been included in publications such as the Source (1995 & 1999), Russell Simmons' One World Magazine (1999), VIBE Magazine (1998), MURDER DOG (1998) and many others as well as books such as 'Who Shot Ya' (shout to Ernie P) and 'TOTAL CHAOS: The Art and Aesthetics of Hip-Hop'. In 2004, when Andre 3000 of Outkast performed at the Grammy's in stereotypical "Native" wear and disrespected the whole Native community-Litefoot launched a campaign, using his personal funds, urging for a public apology. Litefoot has been featured as a panelist on Russell Simmons' Hip Hop Summit Action Network to UNITY -Journalists of Color representing Native Americans in Hip Hop and building to bridge the gap. 2) a RELENTLESS PURSUIT for equality and change in AMERICA'S PERCEPTION OF NATIVE PEOPLE. The Native American Struggle is extremely parallel to many other struggles, however, what is unique and different about our struggle is that we are indigenous to this land and the history of this country has been covered up with lies and deceit--therefore our struggle is silent, forgotten, and "underground". In 2008, our treaties are still not being honored, our sacred sites are not being respected, there are still Indian mascots---which all lead to stereotypes, inequality and ignorance. Litefoot has been featured in Time Magazine (2004), The Chicago Tribune (2004), The Seattle Times (2005), and the US News & World Report (2001) and he has brought about awareness to our plight and issues every time he has been offered a nationwide platform. 3) a RELENTLESS PURSUIT as a NATIVE person showing other NATIVE PEOPLE that you CAN empower yourself. Unfortunately, no matter what you do-- there are ALWAYS a few that try to hate on you and try to stop you--even from your own community. In the beginning of Litefoot's Hip Hop career, "Rap" was not as popular nor as mainstream as it is today - so he encountered that "why are you rapping--that is not being native and it is not traditional" ignorance. Litefoot has literally, "pioneered" Native Hip Hop "from the bottom to the top" and built his own record label, clothing line, and multi-media companies. Today, you can find other Native rappers all across the country and that is inspiring. There was a time when that was not the case. 4) a RELENTLESS PURSUIT OF SELF--mind, body, and spirit. To constantly push yourself to the limit and to believe in yourself when other people do not. I love this quote and it sums it up..."Excellence is the result of caring more than others think is wise, risking more than others think is safe, dreaming more than others think is practical, and expecting more than others think is possible." |
