FREE KUTMAH

THE BACKGROUND
Kutmah was born in the UK to an Egyptian mother and Scottish father. He moved to the US with his
mother when he was 12 years old. They immediately applied for US residency to keep them from being sent to Egypt.
The US court ruled that as a British citizen he would be able to live in the UK and denied their application.

Kutmah and his Mom returned to court to plead their case 14 years ago when Kutmah was 20. They were again
denied a green card and were urged to sign a document stating they would voluntary leave the US.

On Wednesday morning, May 5th armed agents entered Kutmah's house and detained him. He was brought to a
facility in downtown LA where he was interrogated. On Thursday he was moved to New Mexico. We need to show
how important Kutmah is to the LA and US community. Please write a letter and spread the word!

Please customize the letter below and send it ASAP to

LETTER TEMPLATE
To Whom it May Concern:

Justin McNulty is a highly talented artist, DJ and music producer who is a beloved member of the Los Angeles creative community.

For well over a decade he has devoted his substantial skills to the betterment of our community through positive, artistic actions.

Mr. McNulty has selflessly donated his time and exceptional talents to numerous charitable and non-profit causes. He has garnered
worldwide acclaim through these efforts based in the United States.

Mr. McNulty’s individual community arts service is a testament to modern philanthropy. In an age when institutional funding is slim
he has taken personal action to better our country by inspiring its citizens through progressive cultural outreach.

I fully support Justin McNulty’s right to stay in the United States and urge your positive and swift action in this matter. His deportation
would be a devastating loss to Los Angeles and the American arts.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

The Undersigned

Brothaz Bent UP FROM THE DESERT Blunt Boogie Records

WILSHIRE DISTRICT Music Blog : October
compliled by DJ ICE (Wilshire District / Seventh Letter)



http://www.myspace.com/brothazbent
By now you may know about Brothaz Bent. If ya don’t check them at knowngallery.com These westside brothaz that consist of Woozy Meds & Don Chalaunt as Brothaz Bent came back from the desert with some heat. Ill minded beats with precise (shout to Expo on them) scratches that would make Dj Premier think he made the beats. These cats polished up this soon to be underground Hip Hop Classic of the future. This record brings me back to them days when records were raw ala 92’ era (Brand Nubian, Das Efx style of beats). Don’t get it twisted with over 20 tracks don’t think they’re on some old east coast feel. Ah naw, BB brings that west-coast street shit. UP FROM THE DESERT features LA’s own, Cadalak Ron on the crazy HOLLYWOODLAND track, plus worthwhile mention from REKON who rips on NEW WORLD APPROACHING.
This is a real dope record currently can be purchased exclusively from The Seventh Letter Store on vinyl and cd. Walking down Melrose stop in FAT BEATS.
