REBEL DIAZ NEW MIXTAPE AVAILABLE ONLINE APRIL 9TH, 2008 @ WWW.REBELDIAZ.COM
1/3 of the group Rebel Diaz......
RodStarz is the future of Hip Hop. An MC that speaks the truth and challenges the system through his powerful bilingual lyrics. A Bboy raised in Chicago’s Golden Era, the era of bombed rooftops, the rebirth of breakdancing and boosted gear. He was born in Chertsey, England where his parents were living in exile after fleeing the CIA funded Pinochet dictatorship in their native Chile. He grew up on Chicago’s northside in Rogers Park influenced by his Chicago Champions and Norstarz family. That is where his name comes from, as they all were Starz that shined above the rest.
RodStarz is a combination of the rage of the children of rebellion, the swagger from Chicago’s hip hop scene and the optimism of the youth for a better tomorrow. Anybody that knows him knows he’s all jokes and good times until he gets on stage. That’s when he goes to battle. Hip Hop is his weapon, his pistola and his tool of war. When not performing he is in the South Bronx organizing the community around police brutality, immigrant rights and gentrification issues with el Movimiento La Pena del Bronx. He currently resides in Hunts Point, New York.

I'll be seeing you on Saturday, February 7th! Please spread the word and help us celebrate the revolutionary elements of Hip Hop with some of NYC's dopest poets and MCs! All proceeds will help the ANSWER Coalition continue its fight against the US war machine!
Revolutionary thinking may mean a return to our original ways of thinking. We must return to the past if we are to redeem our future. Of all the things taken from our peoples, the mind of our peoples is what we must reclaim. It is that mind , that way of thinking, that will awaken the mentally dead who now walk the earth in a coma, in a world not of our making and not made for us. We the original peoples of the earth must awaken from our sleep. We must resist the devils and evils of this world. We must look the devils of this world in their eyes and say ," before you were, I AM, and when you are gone, I AM ". The time for sleep is done. Those of us who refuse to awaken and continue to sleep walk will soon run out of time. So awaken you mighty nations of the earth hear the call of your ancestors and awaken. Dance the dance of war and put on the face of a warrior. Attack , attack, attack, attack you mighty nations. Return to what was and still is yours.
I Love you and Miss you...Brother. Coming up to NYC this year fo sho...I still haven't seen you perform in your element...please let me know when you got a show so I can make it up there....say like in March-May
