Sum poems…

These those poetic lines I wrote while listening to xo tour lliffeee…

Poem: Washing Away in the Waves / Carry On

Fraudsters and sheisters…

Who knows how to deal with despair so deep, and long lasting. A life of condemnation for crimes never committed. Undone innocence, drifting further into that charming abyss, a little further each time. Until the waves bid goodbye to the shoreline, and the undertow pulls just a bit more insistent: stay a while longer. And panic gives way to acceptance of this new home, a changed existence

Tippin on this ledge

D®ippin lo, catch & shuffle on

Cattle in the rail ropes

Into the grinder u go

Mama cow lost baby cow

Now they both burger bound

Steer with them horns

U already know where this go

Keep ridin to the cleaver

Leave little bits & pieces for u

to find your way to your own freedom

And one day, in an alternate timeline,

We are reunited and satisfy our revenge

:~~And a little addendum to my last post~~:

“Eyyy!?! It is you who will licentiously registrate! The unholy enemy will not succeed! You will not touch me!!!”

Featured: Community Submission

Today LAS is featuring a photograph from my friend Veronica (she/they)! About the photo, Veronica says:

“I just remember how beautiful it looked. How it felt to experience such beauty and to not only see it, but smell it, hear it.

The air felt so good to breathe in.

I just kept thinking how much I wish we were able to preserve and sustain so much of nature’s beauty outdoors instead of just inside a building.”

Thank you, Veronica, for sharing this moment of majesty with us!

Getting Into the Studio!!!

I’m preparing to work with Untold Stories Recording this week, and it’s very exciting. This will be my first time going to a recording studio and I’ve booked a few hours of studio time so we can get some summer singles down for release on all streaming! To help me prepare, my vocal teacher Vero Astala is coaching me through the process, from achieving the best techniques to get my sound rockin’ to recognizing my anxieties and getting my heart to calm down!

The affirmation in the featured post is a derivative of the pep talk Vero shared with me: ‘You already know what to do – so do what comes naturally and allow the universe to do the rest. Record the songs that bring you the most joy!’

Much love to Vero and Untold Stories – helping my art come alive!

Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us (A Black History Month Tribute)

Leave a comment

Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us prod. Persian

Prompted by the wisdom of the Akan people of Ghana, Sankofa means ‘go back and get it.’ I created Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us to celebrate my people’s resilience, determination, and rich heritage. This song is dedicated to those determined to progress into the future with understanding regained from the past.

We insist on our dignity, ability, purpose, and power. We are an unbreakable people. We harness the wisdom of the ancients through the elements of the earth. Knowledge of ourselves and who we are as a people is central to our continued existences.
