In February this year, Coptic eleased the much-awaited \u2018Black Star Line Mixtape Vol 1\u2019.

It features: Raekwon, Kwaw Kesse(Ghana), DBlack(Ghana), Havoc, Prince Eddie Atlas(Uganda), Black Rob, Iwan(Ghana), ModeNine(Nigeria), Abass Abass (Senegal), Lufu(Tanzania), Smif-n-Wessun, Makhtar(Senegal), Dead Prez, Dumi Right(Zimbabwe), M.anifest(Ghana), Memphis Bleek, Wanlov & M3nsa(FOKN Bois), Mugeez (Ghana), Mr Veezy(Zambia), Arabian Knightz(Egypt), Trigmatic(Ghana), Abass Abass(Senegal), Don Klemente(DRC), Gibril Da African(Ghana), Meta & The Cornerstones(Senegal),\u00a0 and Asem(Ghana).<\/p>\n

\u2018The Black Star Line Mixtape Vol 1\u2019 is a precursor to \u2018Close to My Roots\u2019, s a project dedicated to creating great music featuring African and American artists and exposing the \u201ctrue\u201d African sound and its musicians to the global music market. Eric \u201cCoptic\u201d Matlock, the producer of this album, who was born and raised in Ghana believes that Africa has a strong Hip Hop, Reggae and Cultural Rap presence that is often overlooked in regards to its worldwide musical influence. \u201cThe continent has many talented artists that need to be exposed to the rest of the world,\u201d he comments.<\/p>\n

Coptic migrated to the U.S. at 13 and started producing music years later. He since has produced records for The Notorious B.I.G (If I Should Die Before I Wake & Living The Life), Puff Daddy aka \u201cDiddy\u201d (I Need A Girl), Jermaine Dupri (All That\u2019s Gotta Go), Ma$e, KRS-One, Shyne and countless other successful artists on their platinum plus albums.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
