MARY J's NEW ARTIST Laneah is FIIIRE



I think this girl is going to be a breath of fresh air! From the verses it sounds like she's an honest heartfelt songwriter. We need more people talking about real stuff instead of I get girls or all the fellas sweatin it blaazzi huge BLLLAAAAAAH! Seems like she found out people can be fake. Be careful of the "friend" who is present in convenience and absent in crisis. Love people consistently like Jesus even if no one ever screams their name. Anyways please check out this brand new brass bumpin dopeness.

What do you guys think of the performance and the concept? If you like it pleeeease spread it around like freee money!!

I am constantly reminded as an artist and a christian I have an obligation to be a voice for the downtrodden. Like my man Jesus said, I have been set apart by God to preach justice and set the captives free. You may have a different belief system as me but family we must and I repeat MUST see that "a threat to justice somewhere is a threat to justice anywhere." I feel that so many times as I watch news I'm disconnected from humanity as I say "whew good thing it's not me" instead of thinking this is evidence that it could be me. I prayed to God today for inspiration to finish writing my album with these last two posts I definitely got it. God has blessed us fam let's be a blessing and as the the late Michael Jackson said, "WE are the world, WE are the children, WE are the ones to make a better place, so let's start giving."

God bless,

RACISM IN 2009 UNBELIEVABLE!!


View more news videos at: http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/video.


I can't believe stuff like this happens. This is flat out racism and is ILLEGAL!!! These black camp kids were kicked out of a pool because white parents complained that they would do something bad to their kids. This is unacceptable. For everybody that thought Obama ended racism in America is wrong. It just shows that America can be greater than racism. Let us all love each other we are all God's children. When will we learn. Every time I think we're past this stuff, bull like this happens. I don't hate anyone but I have a responsibility to speak on injustice.


God Bless Sen. Arlen Specter for looking into the claims who says, "There is no room for racism in America today!"

God bless.

MJ AND MJ



I saw this mixed video a while back but it just means a whole lot more now that one MJ is gone. Let's appreciate artists while they're still alive. And by the way in my opinions this song had the bridge of the year for 2007 it just took the song to a whole 'nother level.

Please enjoy this wistfully collaborative dopeness.

STOP. DROP. AND MOTION!! J. MEDEIROS IS A BEAST



Jason Medeiros is one of my favorite rappers. His newest song from his upcoming album is dooope. I love the different color schemes. When I saw it it reminded me of the video posted below. Colin Munroe's World of Pain. It's hard to believe all of these were made up of pictures. Maybe I'll do one for a song.




Please enjoy this colin camera capturing dopeness.

My Performance with Kris Powell and Focus

So I forgot this is kind of old I performed with my peoples Kris Powell and Focus on May 13th 2009. It was a dope performance they opened with it. I think I really like the stage well I know I do. This song is about asking the Lord to use you to be a positive influence in the world. My verse is really cryptic apparently basically it's just the ill stuff I see the church do that needs to stop. Anyways please enjoy this Christ-centric mindboggling dopeness.

p.s. the sound quality isn't the best but you get the gist of it. =0)
