Mello-D & the Rados

The Mighty Heard feat. Mello-D, Bomani Armah, Navi the Swami on Halloween Eve 2009 at The Red and The Black in Northeast D.C. This show was packed to the gills and high energy all night long. This is just a sample of the kind of rawness that jumps off when The Mighty Heard get together with Mello-D & the Rados and B...omani Armah to rock the house. Endonisia aka Sushi and Navi the Swami are promising new comers to the DC hip-hop scene and they both repped to the fullest as well.

The band really starts getting into the groove a few minutes into the song as DP and Mello-D trade solos over the hypnotic roots reggae beat. More from Mello-D & the Rados at www.LiveHipHopBand.com

Mello-D teams up with Bomani "D'Mite" Armah to bring a little fresh energy to the hip-hop generation with this feel-good DC Hip-Hop anthem. This video debuted on B.E.T. and MTV2 in 2005 and was a big college radio hit for Mello-D & the Rados too.

"Welcome to D.C." from the album "Antitainment Vol. 2: Truth...Lies...Etc." by Mello-D & the Rados. for more visit: www.LiveHipHopBand.com Lyrics: Welcome to DC where crooked politicians make treaties and turn around and break em so easy. You see it on TV believing what you seeing on TV. But the GOP controls the F...CC* so turn off your TV and burn the newspaper you're reading. They don't reflect the views of the needy. They serve you up greasy a lie of luxury coming easy. Shiny ornaments keep you greedy. Cooning everyday on B.E.T. in cars that's too speedy, filled with loose women that's sleezy, afraid to let their hair get too "peezy". If you don't believe me then listen up. I'll give you a freebie. The radio don't want us to be free. They'd rather that we be a modern day S-L-A-V-E. They don't have to bleep me. They hate when black people start thinking. They hate when black people start meeting and consciously speaking. They'd rather see us on the floor freaking, with moral standards steadily shrinking. My people are sinking. Open your eyes it's no time for blinking. We're the ones the city's policing. Welcome to D.C.! And that's the truth. They tell lies and practice deceit. For the money they cause chaos and destruction. All we want is peace. Welcome to D.C.!
