What is Pangea?

DEDICATION
This album is dedicated to the countless lives lost due to COVID-19, their loved ones, and everyone effected by this global pandemic.
BACKGROUND
Hip Hop has been historically an opportunity for a voiceless and marginalized community to be heard and seen. From the benign neglect of the Bronx, New York in the early 70s to systemic oppression of today, Hip Hop, much like the isolation of today’s current pandemic, speaks to overcoming barriers of seclusion, powerlessness and scarcity.
The project speaks directly to how artists from around the world are coping and banding together in unique and innovative ways to connect. The music carries themes of commonality and how we are all going through similar experiences, demonstrating resilience and optimism through music and art. The core values of Hip Hop is peace, unity, love and overcoming the negative to the positive. There is an undeniable power in storytelling and sharing experiences, and this project seeks to embrace the best in humanity.
In this unparalleled time of unemployment, economic decline, lack of medical support and overall hardship, there is an equal amount of compassion, humanitarian service, environmental rejuvenation, and increased personal capacity. Despite the scarcity we are experiencing, the essential things we need in life are abundant and prevalent.
This project aims to spread awareness of the larger connection we share.
