This day has left an incredible humility in our spirits...... it will never be forgotten...
Big things happening in the USA right about NOW!!!! We must become empowered and educate ourselves on what is going on around us and take action.
MARCH CHICAGO... the experience was priceless.. Unity ......that is what GOD wants to see..... all colors....
We must rise as a people and UNITE!!!! We must fight for a better life for our children!!!!There is a bill in Congress right now Sensenbrenner HR 4437Bill that would:
*Make it harder for legal immigrants to become U.S. citizens.
*Disrupt American communities and put all Americans at risk by broadening the definition of smuggling to include anyone who aids or transports an undocumented immigrant.
*Make everyone who comes to the U.S. to work subject not only to deportation but also imprisonment.
*Disrupt the U.S. economy by creating an overly broad and retroactive employment verification system without creating legal channels for needed workers to work lawfully. People are in an uproar around the world about this BILL..... please make a conscious effort to do something about this BILL.. it will affect ALL of our lives.....

hip-hop is survival
urban souls living tribal
our history stems further than new york
our ancestors had been slaved to work
rhythms and verses soothed the pain
changing our realities from going insane
we connect the continents all together again
back to africa, aztlan, y el boriken
we played the guitars y las congas
we make beats that makes us stronger
we place needles on vinyl heavens
we make the most of it when we`re livin`
the mike channels our anger and fears
liberating ourselves after all these years
the power of hip-hop is underestimated
allow yourself to not be intimidated
distance only makes it more complicated
those who decide to watch will be devastated
blinding thoughts produces rivals
hip-hop is the essence of survival

Successfully integrating bilingual lyrics over hard-hitting beats with crunk, Caribbean, and world music influences, Rebel Diaz uses Hip-Hop as a weapon against injustice in our Black and Latino communities. Lah Tere, with her powerful voice, joins brothers RodStarz and G1 to form Rebel Diaz.
The Afro-Taina sister Lah Tere, with her strong and sharp lyrical prowess, grew up in Chicagos historic Puerto Rican community of Humboldt Park aka Paseo Boricua. The daughter of revolutionary educators and survivors of Chicagos notorious ghettos, Lah Tere's soulful sound recalls memories of Queen Latifah, Iris Chacon, La Lupe, La India, and Jill Scott. Years of fronting a successful Salsa band while still in high school, along with her street credibility as a lyrical force to be reckoned with, have prepared Lah Tere for the even bigger stages still to come.

Whatz Going On Hommie? I stopped by to show you some love plus

Have a great week, and don't be a stranger. Much love, -Simon
Twitter has been out long enough to rise to the top of the web 2.0 heap, but I just started using it about a month ago after I started noticing so many people using it. For those who dont know what it is, it's basically one massive chatroom full of text messages sent in from everywhere on any net-enabled device, except, you choose who's messages you want to see and once you start participating, people choose to see your messages too. After the jump, I've listed some new fun stuff for twitter, with a couple additions that have yet to gain exposure.
