The Brooklyn roots



Crossin' over the Staton Island bridge going to see pop's and the family this weekend. Been a minute since visited up here.

I got the best of both worlds. Mother born on a farm in the south, father raised in the heart of Brooklyn.

Cousin off of 131st and Lenox(yeeah that's right, that aint brooklyn!) and another cousin down south that has a strawberry patch (most of yall know exactly why I mentioned that, lol).

Always remember your roots cause you can't understand where ya goin unless you understand and know where YOU'VE(your heritage) been. And it's not where ya from it's where ya at!

Food fighters are harmful to society


Going to the slammer for a food fight?  Who would of thought innocence of that nature would lead to a misdemeanor on your record.  Well, now some Chicago charter middle school kids get that chance to find out.

Yes, there should be some type of consequence throwing food around and creating a mess in the cafeteria but what happen to after school detention?  after school janitorial work?  Those were the type of ordeals that I know most of the  80's baby had to deal with when we were in school.  But prosecution for food fighting?  So what's next,  assault charges for throwing paper at someone?  Come on people, teaching a lesson, in school, usually involved some type of positive learning experience.

Aiight, yall know I don't do much ranting with my articles so I will stop there and allow you to read the article for yourselves.

Aiight, this is for you coffee addicts


Most of you know I am not a coffee drinker at all. I am naturally high off life, haha.  I bet you thought I was gonna post something about how unhealthy coffee is, which it really isn't.

I found this interesting illustration of some facts about coffee. I know most of yall may find this one interesting because you drink coffee.   Some pretty good facts that I did not know.  I think you will definitely like the presentation of the facts.

Enjoy :) ... More interesting posts to come

It's just music, so they say..

But it's not just music; it's endless flows of emotions and expressions conveyed through art compiled with ingenious rhythms and rhymes that connect to our brains and help to control, relax and/or enhance our emotions in this crazy cold world that wants to destroy them.  I was gonna wait to gather more music that would make the cut but in lue of recent events, i'll share some of my therapy with the fam....

Night by Night feat. Chromeo --> Reminds of my fun times (and future times to come) in the U.K. Probably why I like this one, haha. I know some of yall may not be feelin' this one. Ah well...

Hollywood feat Phil Ade --> Straight outta the DMV on Raheem DeVaughn's 368 music label.

Up All Night feat. Skillz --> It's the S-K-I-double L-Z! Gotta rep home, all day!  Finally comin' back on the scene hopefully continuing to bring more fiya as his last album definitely was an awakening.  Don't get me wrong; I'm a huge fan of Skillz but production with many of his albums just never quite hit it for me.



Ayah-In My Lifetime (Official Video) from Ayah on Vimeo.
Definitely feelin' the song and video...product of the infamous Jazzy Jeff (anotha favorite, could ya guess?..)



Audio file


Beautiful Bliss feat Wale, J. Cole, and the beautiful Ms. Melanie Fiona --> Just a hot track, period!



All I can say is WOW....Her name is Jessie Cornish....Look out now! U.K. STAND UP!
P.S.  If you like that you will definitely feel this one, too.



The Foreign Exchange crew has done it once again, first zo! & tigalo love the 80's and now this cut with re-makes such as "Perfect Angel" originally by Minnie Ripperton (sampled many times of course).  I PROMISE you will not go wrong in downloading this joint.  It's called just visiting too.  Go get that! (It's Free, lol...)
