Discography:

Divasonic’s second full-length, Changing Wind, will be available online and in stores this September. Previous releases are currently available through online retailers such as cdbaby.com.
Changing Wind includes collaborations with many very talented Artists such as vocalist Atiim Chenzira (who co-wrote three songs)... and Other guest musicians, two from BOMANI, Atiim's band, which included guitarist Kenji Matsui and bassist Oscar Urcryo.
Lynda uses Changing Wind more as an outlet for contemplations about relationships, including the ups and downs of “elations, surprises, sensuality, reality, growth, partnership, nurturing, falling in love, and enduring love through its changes.” It also stretches a bit further musically, showing off a stronger jazz influence mixed with stronger soul and pop vibes, all wrapped around the elements Lynda has come to be known for, including drum-and-bass rhythms, experimental percussive sounds, and flute and vocal melodies derived from her own poetry.

"The Classic"

The 5N'Dime debut album "Classic" is finally here! Atiim Chenzira aka Black Bomani, has a strong Lyrical influence in this album. David Jones and Atiim Chenzira created Ridah Ridah Recordz together, which collaborated with 5n'Dime's lable Cloud Dime to produce this masterpiece of Hip Hop and Rap. David Jones's Backyard Entertainment holds the sole responsibility for the unique and inspiring musical production.
It's been a long time coming, and the group out of the 510 is stepping into the "New Bay aEra" hip/hop scene with a "Classic" sound of West Coast/Bay Area Rap. This group will be a force to be reckoned with. While the current movement of Bay Area hip-hop is geared towards establishing the "New Bay", 5N'Dime seeks to fine-tune the original sound that put the Bay Area on the map, by injecting new flavor into the formula that made Bay Area rap music an earmark antique. 5N'Dime is made up of 7 artist:
RollzRoyce
Atiim Chenzira aka Black Bomani
Kobain!
Stagolee Lodown
L.Gipps
Yadda Yadda
Bugzy Gold
all with unique styles, stories & deliveries, blended into a 20 track disc of original music! While the entire project was produced by D.Jones (an up-n-coming producer), 5N'Dime was also blessed to work with other up and coming Bay Area artist such as: "sOul" (album: "A World Without End" in stores now!) on Tracks: 2 & 5 ("Saturday" "Reloaded-F3"), and Kevin "Big Bass" O'Dea (of the group "Brown Baggin'"... catch'em performing at your local club www.brownbaggin.com) on Track 2 ("Saturday"). So get up, get out and get a copy, so that you can memorize and mumble (or shout!) the words in unison while catching a live Dime performance (check www.5ndime.com for news, upcoming shows and dates). ..

Donnel Lester:

The happiest of birthdays to you Atiim. May you live long, prosper and...
In this high place it is as simple as this, Leave everything you know behind. Step toward the cold surface, Say the old prayer of rough love and open both arms For those who come with empty hands will stare into the lake astonished; For there, reflected in cold, pure light Is the true shape of your own face. (adapted from David Whyte's Tilicho Lake)
