A parent should never outlive their child. I wrote this while continuing to struggle with the loss of my daughter to asthma complications. Still difficult to talk about to this day, but writing has always been my way of knuckling up with my demons and duppys... so I decided to tell the tale. A lost love doesn't always mean a loss of love. SIP,

We are neck deep into the 21st century, but some messages only need a fresher set of background music for the ears, and still needs to be heard.

"Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will." -Frederick Douglass

Black lives matter as much as everyone else's. We STILL shouldn't need to prove it.

It really hasn't been very long since what's known as the Civil Rights Era. The days of Martin Luther King. Malcolm X. Marcus Garvey. Huey Newton. Stokely Carmichael. We still have such a way to go before we can be seen as proper individuals. And our standing with the police has never been on stable ground.. We're being killed in the streets

It really hasn't been very long since what's known as the Civil Rights Era. The days of Martin Luther King. Malcolm X. Marcus Garvey. Huey Newton. Stokely Carmichael. We still have such a way to go before we can be seen as proper individuals. And our standing with the police has never been on stable ground.. We're being killed in the streets without just cause, without due process, and with no justice to follow.

Black lives matter as much as everyone else's. We shouldn't need to prove it.

When my last group, Mhorlocks, worked its way through the NYC hip-hop underground, we considered ourselves the moody Blackbirds out of our particular brotherhood with the good groups of the Critical Mass click. Unfortunately, we disbanded before being able to release our intended first album "Blackbirds: A Higher Level of Darkness" - one of three

When my last group, Mhorlocks, worked its way through the NYC hip-hop underground, we considered ourselves the moody Blackbirds out of our particular brotherhood with the good groups of the Critical Mass click. Unfortunately, we disbanded before being able to release our intended first album "Blackbirds: A Higher Level of Darkness" - one of three that had were works in progress. I wanted to carry on the tradition Mhorlocks had built and adopted the persona as my own. Therein lies "The Blackbird".
