"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME....HAPPY BIIIIIIIIIRRRRTHHHHDAYYY TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.........
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME"!

Happy Halloween EVERYONE!
And yes, my birthday is on Halloween. I am turning 20 today and I am just so excited about it. It kind of makes me want to do a lil' dance and shout! lol......I really don't know how to feel about officially not being a teen anymore. I just feel very blessed to still be alive and being able to live life how I want to aiming to accomplish my dreams and what God wants me to do on this Earth.

Although I am getting older and just joined the DUB CLUB, I am just getting started. I have so much more things to do on this Earth that its not even funny, but I have to humble myself and take each day one day at a time. I know some of yall feel me out there.....

Just keep praying for me guys like I am praying for you all....

And remember one thing.......

LIVE YOUR LIFE RIGHT, AND KEEP GOD FIRST!

ONE LOVE!

P.S. Happy Halloween, again!

This man is far....FAR from amazing....He is beyond and above it. His music has always touched me in a special place; in my mind, body and soul ANYTIME it penetrates my ears.

I am talking about The Great: Mos Def.

This man has been delivering sick rhymes for the past two decades that makes people groove, shake their booty or sit down and think and rewind the dope line that he just spit. He is so on another level compared to what most rappers or so called "Hip Hop" artists are doing today, even after his first solo release in 1999 (Black on Both Sides, sick album) he has been able to stay afloat and well-respected in the game....Moreover....He still makes QUALITY MUSIC which is lacking in today's mainstream music.

It was brought to my sister's attention that there was going to be a show about him on Current TV this past weekend and that it was a must see. He was basically followed by a Current camera crew while doing some shows in Japan, since it was his first time back their in about 9 years. In the documentary, you see him performing some of his "oldie but goodie" songs from over the years and songs from his new album, The Ecstatic, which dropped this past June..But you have to see the kind of man that Mos really is.....I have always admired his sincerity, ambition and determination as a man. If he believes in something, he will go hard for it no matter what people say and this documentary shows that sense of pride within him.

Below is the documentary that I know if you are a true fan of REAL MUSIC will appreciate, I just had to drop this masterpiece on you guys and spread the love:



I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did. Please keep the spirit of positive and loving music alive: WE NEED IT! Much love to Brotha Mos, always.

P.S., look at the album art from his recent album that I posted at the beginning of this entry...I love it!

MY PEOPLE OF THE AFRICAN DIASPORA...WAKE UP!

So my good ol' friend from school who I have like minds with when it comes to our beliefs and interests; socially, intellectually, and emotionally, just referred me to a video. I was actually contacting her to put her onto this documentary on Mos Def that is on Current TV, but like always, she has something to put me on to in return that I appreciate...

There is a movie called "A War For Your Soul" that really depicts why African Americans live the way we do today in this American society. It shows the factors that have led up to our deadly and evil "trip" that led us to this land and how we have progressed and digressed as a people since then...

I don't want to talk too much without being biased and expressing my opinion too much, because I know that I could...So I would just like for you all, ESPECIALLY if you are African American to PLEASE watch this movie..It will not take too much of your time...

I just suggest for the Black people not only in America but all around the GLOBE to WAKEUP to who they are and what they are capable of...This is easier said then done but we have to start somewhere!

Special shoutout to Reggie Bullock, the creator of this wonderful movie that has blessed the eyes of over 1.5 million internet viewers all around the world. It takes BLACK MEN like him to bring things like this to our attention without being afraid of what ANYONE has to say.

Please be inspired by this, let me know how you feel...
Take care peeps...God Bless!
