There is no doubt that the biggest issue affecting us all is climate change and the environment.  Let's face it, without a planet what difference do all the other issues make?  Almost every week we are looking at some type of environmental disaster happening around the world.  Things are getting to the stage where we cannot afford to ignore it anymore, yet still, most people continue to ignore it bubbled in their 'I'm alright Jack' attitude or it being over there, and not over here.  Many people do not quite get the concept of an ecosystem delicately balanced, and what happens 'over there' will eventually effect 'over here'.

A group of artists from around the world got together to create a song and video urging people to 'Love our planet'.  Mahdah Urf (Earth song revival) was born.  On the face of it there does not seem to be much new about something like this, but look a little closer and you begin to see the attraction of this song and video.  Not only is it a truly global collaboration featuring artists from Jamaica, USA, China, Sweden, Switzerland, Barbados and beyond.  It is also a reggae song.  Yep, a Reggae song lead by Reggae artists is taking centre stage on the environmental issue.

Kaos Mc is breaking all the rules.  He is taking Favela Rap global and making a big impact in Brazil, he is doing this independently without an impresario one of the few artists in Brazil to do this.  He has built his business and name from the ground up over several years working with European producer Peter Doc B and now working with Stevie Eagle E of Shlepp Entertainment.  The year has seen Kaos Mc work with some of the biggest names in the music business when he released 'What's wrong' with Tito Jackson and Alex Boye.  Despite all of this and the temptations to leave the Favela behind Kaos Mc is determined to stay true to his roots, stay true to the Favela and continue on his mission to bring the positives from the Favela to the world vice versa with his name and organization The Lokos Da Favela Family.
