fav lyric from a song

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know no prejudice, I bare no sentiments
For wealth or settlement, I move forward  
I am time
You cant recover me, conceal or smuggle me, 
Retreat or run from me, crawl up or under me,
You cant do much for me besides serve
Mos Def – Hurricaine

My Fathers Words. Dilla drums. Madlibs prolificness. Sunrise. A good woman. Driven peers. Being, Knowing and Understanding the history of the black man. Having love for self.

 

the nublack philosophy/mantra according to Inua

In both worlds, when the bronze is snatched, we tend not to understand let alone resolve. Relive the fruits of history.

 

who are you past/present icons and why?

Joe as a youngster, i would not have discovered my voice if i wasnt trying to sound like him lol The Dilla beat… i swear his beats have juju, they changed be into a different guy. Zenidane Zidane, David Beckham & Fillipo Inzaghi… footballers which have made be jump out of my seats for growing up. Minnie Riperton.. the voice to be forever emulated. Cornell Wests words of wisdom.
