Peter Sankofa and the Family Afro is a new book created by Greenshack Productions. Greenshack Productions is a company that focuses on children, imagery and symbolism. It addresses the needs of Afrikan people from all around the world with the improvement/enlightenment of everyone as its goal. Check out the blurb below and some of the images from the t-shirts we have printed. For more photos of all the Sankofa Family tees please take the time to visit the Aspecks facebook page.

Just Any Modern Musical Topics You Might Enjoy and we certainly enjoy the musical variety, the verbal dexterity and the energetic performances of Aspecks Affiliates JAMM TYME. Of course regular visitors to the Aspecks website will be familiar with the many collaborations that we have undertaken with JAMM TYME from printing t-shirts to freestyles and most recently on the music video for “Get Your Money Out”. Check out a few pictures we captured of the guys during the weekend of the Global Citizen Photo shoot. JAMM TYME t-shirts will be available to purchase in the Aspecks shop this summer!

Our friend and resident web designer Kaizen Star has been involved in every step of the Global Citizen Video process ever since Aspecks asked him to make a beat for the Global Citizen Campaign back in September last year. As usual the man behind Kaizen Designs did not disappoint and the funky tune he delivered was perfect for JAMM TYME to rhyme on. Since the initial recording session not only has Kaizen has finessed the song several times, editing, cutting and mastering the final version, but he also helped organise the photo and videos hoot, introducing Aspecks to the superb Disk & Jockey Modelz as well as the multi-talented Tman the Hustler.

We have to tip our hat to the wonderful Juanita Euka who graced the Global Citizen song with her dulcet tones! Not only does Juanita sing with a choir as well as two (or is it three?) bands including Malambo Music, performing to audiences around the UK, but she also writes and performs her own music so make sure you keep your eyes and ears peeled for Juanita’s solo album. You can catch Juanita performing with the excellent Wara regularly across the London area and the Glastonbury Music Festival this summer.
