Peace to the Content Creators of Color family and their support they lend to me. This was a general conversation in our daily Clubhouse room. Waffle House came up and it went from there. We joked about a typical experience at the restaurant: from the cooks coming back from break late to the drinks with no straws *laughs*!

Do you feel like you're speaking to a wall or to an open sky and no one answers or acknowledges? I share some thoughts on this and how detrimental it could be to a community builder, manager, or anyone that's in position to be an ear to someone.

Peace to the good brother Shawn Smith (Dripping in Black Podcast) for always saying the phrase 'when the student is ready, the teacher will appear' when we're having great conversations in the C4C Clubhouse room. He states this phrase when someone speaks on a learning lesson that someone receives...or should receives.

Enjoy the quick clip of me reflecting on that message.

Good day, or evening Neighbors & Groovers. I don’t want to draw this out, but here’s an ideal of what B.A.B.N. 2 would sound like. The songs you’re hearing now are rough versions of the songs. For context, I like to record a reference of said song, send it to the producer of the record, make changes or add on things, record it again, get it mixed/mastered, and released to the world (or city…being that I feel like my music can’t get pass the city…in which the city doesn’t mention it much…for reasons I don’t have to go into…but it’s the obvious reasons). 

One phrase that will stick with me until the end of…is when DJ Jazzy Jeff stated ‘DIE EMPTY’…so…here it is (again…if you’ve followed me randomly throwing out some content, due to). I haven’t came up with titles for the songs. I had plenty of ideas and things I wanted to try out. The quotes you(‘ll) hear is from a collection of statements I came across and wanted them to assist me with my creativity with the music and the ‘admin’ side of things. Maybe they’ll be saved for later, but the quotes were centered around some of the topics of B.A.B.N. 2: hope, leadership, community building, and redemption.  

We’ll see what the music spirits brings for the next round of music. Praying it won’t be much time in between, even though the spirit of me leaving Hip Hop alone is present…and when I say Hip Hop, I mean mostly the emcee side, BUT…the culture of it is in shambles and I’m not sure if I want to continue. You know how you love something so much to where you want to leave it? Whether it’s abrupt, indifference, wrong, simple? Yeah…that’s partly where I’m at. 

Enjoy the podcast show/music.

After a podcast recording with my friend Crowned ReRe for our show Flowers For The Culture, I left the recordings on while we went through some of Barry White’s music and celebrated him…or gave him his flowers. It started with us comparing White’s adlibs to Westside Gunn’s famous gun adlib…and it went from there. I figured that it would help me get back in my creative bag, and it did.

**The production you’re going to hear was me flipping the samples from Barry White’s music into a beat. These beats aren’t for sale…due to legal reasons…so don’t snitch…just flexing my creativity…enjoy**
