At the end of this week, we break new ground. Khari B. (Discopoet) and I have known each other longer than I can remember. If we didn't cross paths anywhere else, we would meet on the dance floor. And the boogie IS still for real. We have worked together on more than a few occasions, as I have provided the soundtrack for events he has hosted and performed. We recently joined forces on stage, to create a bit of an impromptu jam session for Brews, Brats and Brass. What's different now? We have added making a music together to our evolving conquests. Working with Khari affords me to be craft quietly and strategize. I love the idea that I can simply whisper and he nods.

This first project "Apocalyptic Conversation", started with me and anger. The world shows me things that lead me to believe we are doomed. I took that energy and made a title and then a beat. I know we need to talk about what is to come, that is, IF we don't collect out resources and them together. I hand Khari the title first and don't recall having to explain why. (whispering) I drop the beat in dropbox and in no time flat we have the beginning of our upcoming release. Initially it was going to be a beat track. We powwow about keys and Shawn Wallace enters the conversation to add dreamy strings, pretty chords and "Ooooo's". This changes the angry / doomfield energy I intended into... HOPE. Shawn takes it a step further and suggests we add Maggie Brown to further drive that point.
Needless to say I now see this as community art and healing.

Apocalyptic Conversation is now a beautifully woven tale of how to make wrongs right. The magic in the process of creation to completion has me overwhelmed with the possibilities, that will come from this one tune. Using the term tune might be cheapening the experience. After finishing it, it sounds more like theatre. I am excited to see what stages we get to give life to this piece on.... 4/21/17 we give this first piece to the digital world.

    fathom spits

    when i come to the jam 
    know who i am
    aint bout the flim flam
    no i dont give a damn
    about where you been 
    or what you rocking
    when the tunes hit
    we'll see whats popping
    not stopping
    though i did slow up
    to be more precise 
    and detailed 
    catch a close up
    or maybe get a glimpse
    nobodies hoe
     but the game got pimps
    i stay exempt
    and stand in the light
    fame got glimmer
    but my glow just right
