Sounds Like
My style is jazzy, soulistic, futuristic funky, revolutionary, hip hop,. I love weird and unusual sounds in my tracks. I think my creativity is even fire when I write to beats not appealing to the average writer. Also, during my writing , I realize that I have a responsibility as an afrikan, to tell our story, since it has always been misconstrued by those that hate us & those of us who hate ourselves. Lastly, my music must be about encouragement, liberation, love, peace, trust, revolution, & provide solutions to the white capitalist predators we face head on everyday in america.
Qualities admired about oneself: I'm a beautiful African Queen who love me so much. I love to help my community and consider myself a voice for my unheard and homeless comrades from all walks of life. I'm a hard working entrepreneur, black nationalist, mother, and wife who believes in self-preservation and building bridges for the future, my children and those to come.
Beliefs: The Most High & Supreme State of Spirituality. Non-religious person. I believe the only way to break this curse on us is through Sankofa & a constant cycle of Knowledge and Self-Love.
Rhymes of advice:Be all you can be entrepreneurally. A Jobby job is not the key. Stop looking down on those that's without a college degree. Don't sell your race out for a dolla amount. Make your first step others felt. Trust those that trust you. Only befriend those where reciprocation shows. Pro Africanism makes Nationalism. Your home is where the lions, buffalos, and elephants roam. Smile even when frowns are in grown.

By Rick Hampson, USA TODAY An Oakland policeman shot by a wanted parolee was pronounced brain-dead Sunday, one day after three fellow officers were killed in a running shootout that became one of the bloodiest ever for a local U.S. police department.
Officer John Hege, 41, was on life support and a final decision was still being made about donating his organs, Oakland Police Department spokesman Jeff Thomason said.
Suspect Lovelle Mixon, 26, who was wanted on a parole violation, fired on Hege and another motorcycle officer, Sgt. Mark Dunakin, 40, after they pulled his car over Saturday afternoon, police said. Mixon was slain a few hours later in a gunfight with police that killed two more officers: Sgt. Ervin Romans, 43, and Sgt. Daniel Sakai, 35.
It was the most Oakland police officers mortally wounded in the line of duty on one day.
Kevin Morison, spokesman for the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, said it appeared to be the worst shooting involving officers of a single department in
Police said Mixon ran off after he shot the motorcycle officers, police said. It led to an intense manhunt by dozens of Oakland police, California Highway Patrol officers and Alameda County sheriff deputies. Streets were roped off and an entire area of east Oakland closed to traffic.
Police said that several hours later, they got an anonymous tip that he was inside a nearby apartment building. A SWAT team entered the building. Mixon opened fire, and Romans and Sakai were killed. Officers fired back, killing Mixon, Acting Police Chief Howard Jordan said.
