If you don’t check out this dope woman from Baltimore, you have lost it! “Direction”, I must say, is my favorite; it has a Meshell N’deogeocello feel to it. Please share this with the masses and thank you. You won’t be disappointed.
Don’t know if I want you to understand me…don’t know if I want you to understand me…don’t know if I want you to understand me or go…

Sometimes our ego’s are bigger than the disagreements that we have. In the end the question is, is it worth it?

What it isn’t
The email from some random sender read “I listen to that and it aint soul…sorry but I can tell you better than your father”.
Witty it was. I laughed at first, then I was taken back, lastly I was grateful. I’ve never received negative or even sideways comments about my sound, but I’ve always anticipated it. Just so I can know how I would feel when it arrived. Defining myself as an artist has been and continues to be a journey. I love my sound. Not in an arrogant way, but in the sense that it has a story behind it and I appreciate it in all aspects. You can scramble around tryin’ to forcefit my artistry in a box but the fact remains that it can’t be defined. The fact that you don’t see it as “soul” makes it even more better because that says my sound is just that unique that you can tell me what it isn’t but can’t tell me what it is lol…I love it. God has been good to me in that right. For even one person to listen is a blessing, even if they hate it, you’re doing something right…
GrownAssKid
So…I’m getting older and hopefully wiser. The kid is growin’ up. I’m growing increasingly interested in starting my own business. I know what I want, and I’m going to thrust myself in tryin’ to get it. I see my associates have successfully done it. Why can’t I? I proposed this possibility to my Fav Aunt who happens to be heavy into legal and financial advising. I need her guidance for sure. I’m eager to hear her response. Today finds me researching spaces, thinking of loans, my connects, interior design and etc. I’m getting excited about this but not so much so that I psych myself out for the fakeout and end up bluffing myself. I pray that things fall into place following my hard work put in. I’m ready for all kinds of newness…time to let it manifest.
