Documentary DVD previewing Hot B Da Sufi's 'Hip Hop Still' upcoming album is out for grabs


In a bid to market and promote his upcoming album 'Hip Hop Still,' the universal Hip hopper widely known as Hot B Da Sufi  in collaboration with Artistik Music and Halam Studio recently dropped a short documentary DVD titled 'The making of the album Hip Hop Still'. The DVD according to Hot B is basically to give his audience/fans the opportunity to get a little bit taste of his upcoming album, the people behind the scene, interviews in the studio with his manager
Abdallah, Halam Record's producer and others in the package.

Speaking to GM SoA in an interview, the Hip hop act added that the DVD is out for free to promote his album in the making due to be released sometime next year.  The shooting of the documentary according to the Hip hopper began before the month of ramadan and has been going well ever since he started working with Artistik.

The album according to Hot B Da Sufi has been in the kitchen since December 2010 taking his time - "because  i don't rush or do fast food music, i go with good food, something international you know what i mean. I give the people what they deserve because they have been waiting for Hot B for a while now and they need something hot and classic".

The first  single off the upcoming album was 'Banj Len'  and the video was premiered on 2011 followed by 'Back to the Cypher' which was released prior to holy month of Ramadan basically to bring artistes from the Hip hop community together, and his third promotional single 'So Classic' was released lately and the video shooting was done on wednesday 10th of October 2012 with most scenes shot on top of Gambisara Building on Kairaba avenue.

Hot B Da Sufi in his on words said: 'the album (Hip Hop Still) is going to be international because the songs are immortal and they are going to be here forever! Inside the album, we have artistes from Canada, US and Europe'. this album is also going  to be professional one from A-Z, no amateur thing, from the music production to the videos, graphic design and all that because am only working with professionals like Artistik and Tra a.k.a Zapp of Halam Records to
take his album international because am trying to do something that will cross the border straight up".


Hot B who started rhyming since 1997 is a Gambian by nationality and a Hip hop fanatic who has never tried making a mixtape but albums only. As a Hip hop artiste, he believes that making mixtapes are easy but albums are different and not like downloading beats off the internet to wrap it up. "i don't normally spit on downloaded beats because am a beat maker LOL". Hot B noted.

His first album "Love and Peace Senegambia" was released on March 24th 2007 in both The Gambia and Senegal,  and since then he has been working hard doubling his credentials in the Senegambian Hip hop community.  His second album "Just for the love" was a free download album released on October 2010 to quench the hip hop lovers thirst. Since then Da Sufi has leveling the ground for his "Hip Hop Still" album.

The emcee also took the opportunity to send couple of words to the artistes on the issue of employing professional ethics to thrive in bigger markets. "we have love and unity now but professionalism is lacking and we need to work on that inorder to go international" he added
