Text Message from my intern, Joi. Friday, February 3, 2012, 3:39pm: “The feds raided the Russell.”
“For real?” I replied. She forwarded the Detroit Free Press link reporting a drug bust in Detroit’s sprawling Russell Industrial Center arts complex.
“Hmm… Maybe we should postpone tomorrow’s video shoot,” I thought.

Slave: The Remixtape is a feature-length collection of lurid tracks that covers just about every genre of club and radio fare from Hip-hop to Rock, House to Techno. Soul-Patrol.com sums it up like this:
“This is a very unusual album from one of the most innovative, creative and passionate artists on today’s music scene. In fact it’s not even really an album. It’s really a single.
“Remember the movie ‘Do The Right Thing’ by Spike Lee? Remember the ‘soundtrack’? It only consisted of one song; Public Enemy – ‘Fight the Power’. One song, true indeed, but it was a powerful song, containing a powerful message which fully embodied the message that Spike Lee wanted the viewer to take away from the movie.
“On Slave: The RemixTape, Nadir takes an equally powerful song called ‘Slave’ from his award winning album called Distorted Soul 2.0 and remixes it in every imaginable musical style except for country and classical just to make certain that no matter what type of music fan you are, or what demographic sector you are in, that you feel comfortable listening to the message of ‘Slave’.
“It’s a song with a message that everyone needs to hear. Make sure that you take the time to listen to it in whatever musical style suits you best and then be sure to pass it along to someone else in the musical style that suits them best.”
Nadir – Distorted Soul 2.0 (cd + digital)
“Best Funk CD of 2005! It’s STONE COLD FUNK, it makes you DANCE, it ROCKS your world, it’s got GREAT LYRICS, it’s got POWERHOUSE SOUL SINGING, it’s got GREAT MUSICIANSHIP, it makes you THINK about the world and it makes you SMILE.” – www.soul-patrol.com”
[Nadir] has really developed a sound and style of his own and Distorted Soul 2.0 is very different from what I’ve heard in a long time and that’s what makes this album special.” – www.Jazz-not-jazz.com
