Diversidad

THE EXPERIENCE ALBUM is now available, as of February 14, 2011, through a worldwide online distribution and will be in stores in cd format in some countries across Europe. The album includes 14 tracks representing the highest level of contemporary European hip hop.
Diversidad is a group of famous European MC’s, DJ’s and beat-makers. 20 artists from 12 different countries speaking 9 different languages came together to create a unique album.
Diversidad is back with a full LP created from scratch by a new selection of artists and recorded in just 10 days at the ICP studio in Brussels. The first single “The eXperience” gathers all the MCs on a track produced by Spike Miller. Since its release in June it has received airplay on many European radio stations. The rest of the songs are combinations of 3 to 6 artists rhyming on different languages about a common theme. From the typical ego-trip track (Go Hard) to the classic love song (Amore Criminale) or from the “jungle” of their European hometowns (Concrete Jungle) to a nostalgic ballad (On My Way), each topic on the album tells the story of young adults living in today’s Europe. No matter where they’re from, the artists share the same passion for the urban culture and connected around that common love for hip hop. More than a big reunion of nationalities, the Diversidad album is first and foremost a classic hip hop album featuring skilled and talented artists.

Diversidad is not only an album but also a show that will tour across Europe in spring and summer 2011, a graphic art exhibition and a movie series available on http://www.diversidad.com/diversidad-tv. The album’s lyrics will be available on the website soon.
