Music
Music saved my life in the midnight of my solitude. Music held me in the coldness of my loneliness. Music loved me when the beauty of my soul was masked to even me. Music is my mistress and muse, warm from the contact of our touch. I'ma DJ, so my taste go all over, but I'm very critical to forewarn.

About me: I am that which I am, and that's all I know to be. Complex, but not concave. Wise, but naive. Indignant, but humble. I'm different things at different times to different people, but I am always one bad mutha shut yo mouth. Either love me, or leave me the fuck alone :-)
I'm an artist. Bout the only label you can place on me. I'm a vocalist, turntablist, lyricist, scribe, educator, part-time comedian...a renaissance man from Harvey town.
They call me Africa Hot. You can download episodes of my show @ http://backofthebus.podOmatic.com. My music is evolving and involving. Check out both if you get a chance, I think you'll enjoy.
