California bred emcee Trek Life is excited to announce the release of his lat­est album, Everything Changed Nothing. Produced entirely by Oddisee, the album will be released July 27th via Mello Music Group.

"So Supreme", the album's lead sin­gle has gen­er­ated a pow­er­ful buzz. The track was fea­tured on ESPN recently for the network's cov­er­age of the Stanley Cup and NBA Playoffs. The track was a per­fect fit for video clips that thrive on ideas of com­pe­ti­tion and per­se­ver­ance; with a hard-hitting beat and aggres­sive rhymes com­pli­ment­ing the action on screen. In regards to Trek's orig­i­nal intent of the track, he says, "This song is really just re-establishing my foot­ing as an emcee. Strictly raw rhymes." Certainly hav­ing the lead sin­gle of your new album catch the atten­tion of the world's pre­mier sports broad­cast­ing net­work is a good early indi­ca­tion of the album's merit.

Listen to "So Supreme" above and pur­chase here on iTunes.

Trek Life drops a dime for ESPN by lend­ing his forth­com­ing sin­gle "So Supreme" to the pop­u­lar sports net­work as the back­ground music for the Stanley Cup and NBA Finals. The track embod­ies the fight­ing spirit shared between the com­pet­ing teams; "This song is me re-establishing my ground as an emcee amongst so many other qual­ity rap­pers in the game right now," says Trek Life. "I feel great about the qual­ity of the music and rhymes I'm putting out and want to make sure that the lis­ten­ers under­stand that there will be no more slow mov­ing or set­backs." The California rap­per teams up with Oddisee for the sin­gle, hit­ting dig­i­tal retail­ers on July 13th, and expected to air on ESPN for the rest of the week, and poten­tially until the end of the NBA and NHL Finals.

Trek Life's Everything Changed Nothing, pro­duced entirely by Oddisee, drops July 27th via Mello Music group.

Streetball is a fast paced doc­u­men­tary that tells the sto­ries of South Africa’s 2008 Homeless World Cup team. The Homeless World Cup is an annual soc­cer tour­na­ment that draws teams from over 56 countries—comprised of home­less and the excluded.  The SA Squad con­sists of ex-convicts, for­mer gang­sters, orphans and recov­er­ing drug addicts that band together to rep­re­sent their coun­try, prov­ing that no one is beyond redemp­tion.   Streetball is a story of hope and of the resilience that dwells within the human spirit.   But while these mens’ dreams are sim­ply to have a home and to be rec­og­nized as peo­ple who need care, often times the real­iza­tion of those dreams is accom­pa­nied by a sober­ing reality.

NYC Screening Tuesday June 8th at 7pm at National Black Theatre in Harlem (2031 Fifth Avenue (b/w 125th and 126th)
