International media production company Nomadic Wax (African Underground/Democracy in Dakar) has teamed up with Genoa, Italy’s DJ Nio, Brooklyn’s Funk Nouveau, Blackler Mastering and producer Eliot Leigh to create a one-of-a-kind World Cup-inspired transnational hip-hop collaboration available for free download beginning June 8th 2010. The 12 minute multi-national musical melange features rappers hailing from Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, the United States, and Europe.

Each of the fifteen international rappers artists featured on the track recorded their verses independently in their own country sending the finished vocal files to Brooklyn New York to be mixed and mastered. "This is the kind of global recording collaboration that could not have even been imagined even ten years ago" said Nomadic Wax Creative Director Magee McIlvaine. "The fact that we can get fifteen of the world's most talented Emcees to collaborate in this way is incredible. This is just the kind of transnational synergy that get me excited about the potential for international hip-hop to have a major impact on the world stage."

RICHIE, ASEM, ZIGI, EAZZY AND OJ BLAQ collaborate on this World Cup song which is on Sony Music’s upcoming new album release, ‘Hello Afrika’. The song is made celebrating Africa's moment in conjunction with the Mzansi Mundial - the FIFA World Cup ongoing in South Africa now, the first to be hosted on the African continent.

In the song, they sing,

Led by Cinderella 'Cindy' Sanyu and Jose Chameleone, Ugandans have made a song for the Mzansi Mundial aka FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
