After 15 years of working how the process of evolving into empowerment for purpose, it did distill down to 8 steps! Now it dawned on me, this should be a song so here it is. Imagine a new genre where songs feel like groovy lessons :) 

8 Step It Lyrics 

What are the steps 
That swing the odds 
In our favour to get 
Our purpose needs met?

Okay class, gather ’round 
We got eight steps 
To be awesome bound 
(Spoiler alert) 
They’re already in us 
In flow, we follow ’em 
Under stress, we ditch ’em

Eight-step the way
(Eight step it, hey) 
Eight-step it deep 
For the joy to reap 
Eight-step the way 
(Eight step it, hey) 
Eight-step it deep 
For the joy to reap

We begin at step one 
Connect fully, be still 
Absorb the terrain 
Without judging the spill 
Senses engaged 
Receiver switched on 
Now we’re present 
Step two can dawn

Step two’s understand first 
Be a servant to knowing 
What makes it tick? 
What’s blocking and flowing? 
Earn trust back 
By collecting the facts 
Don’t buy a story 
Evidence hasn’t backed

Step three is here 
To understand well 
Stay the receiver 
For a longer spell

Keep humble attention 
Zoom wide and near 
Patterns emerge 
Big picture gets clear
It’s tempting to leap 
To wrong conclusions 
Get deeply informed 
Break the illusions

These are the steps 
That swing the odds 
In our favour to get 
Our purpose needs met

Eight-step the way
(Eight step it, hey) 
Eight-step it deep 
For the joy to reap 
Eight-step the way 
(Eight step it, hey) 
Eight-step it deep 
For the joy to reap

Now steps one, two, three 
Repeat in four 
Mirror them inward 
Open the door 
Be understood 
Earned it, you did 
Connect to self 
What makes you lit? 
What you really want 
Go deeper for values 
Face doubts ’n fears 
For truth that grounds you 
We’re halfway through 
We’re getting it now 
Informed to serve 
Inside ’n out

Step five, all right 
Time for designing 
Win-win solutions 
Interests aligning 
Sustainable, real 
Value exchanging the deal 
For a needed change
In the purpose game

These are the steps 
That swing the odds 
In our favour to get 
Our purpose needs met

Eight-step the way
(Eight step it, hey) 
Eight-step it deep 
For the joy to reap 
Eight-step the way 
(Eight step it, hey) 
Eight-step it deep 
For the joy to reap

Step six is the walk 
Implement the plan 
Test if it lands 
Adjust where you can 
Whatever it needs 
Make purposeful tweaks 
Keep testing the pulse 
'Till traction peaks

Stay resilient 
Step seven is to allow for setbacks 
Obstacles come 
Exposing the cracks 
Repeat all the steps 
On what’s holding it back 
Refine,  re-commit 
Keep that purpose intact

These are the steps 
That swing the odds
 In our favour to get 
Our purpose needs met

Eight-step the way
(Eight step it, hey) 
Eight-step it deep 
For the joy to reap 
Eight-step the way 
(Eight step it, hey) 
Eight-step it deep 
For the joy to reap

And last but not least
Step eight says 
Remain responsible
Own what you can
What’s unfair is fixable
When they undermine your plans
Lead—and repeat
Eight-step it again
Add boundaries, compassion
Renegotiate the deal
Update the rules
Refuel and heal
A true leader evolves
To keep the vision real

Eight step your mum 
Eight step your dad 
Eight step you lover 
Eight step the lads 
Eight step a brother 
Your sister too 
Eight step yourself 
What else you wanna do?

Eight-step the way
(Eight step it, hey) 
Eight-step it deep 
For the joy to reap 
Eight-step the way 
(Eight step it, hey) 
Eight-step it deep 
For the joy to reap

Eight step the way

8 Step It

March 25th will be an early start to 4/20 with the release of emcee duo, Chuuwee & Trizz’s new album, “AmeriKKa’s Most Blunted 2”. To be released via Below System Records (Masta Ace, JR & PH7, Pearl Gates) this is the long-awaited sequel to the first installment released over two years ago.

Utilizing a cadre of Producers including Ac3, Monibeatz, Saro and Montage the duo musically land somewhere between the adjectives hyphy, chilled-out and jazzy. Guests on the emcee side for the album include comrades, Sahtyre, Tay Hundreds and Mark Battles.

While both emcees may ingest copious amounts of herb, it apparently has little to no effect on their non-stop work ethic. For example Chuuwee, although just hitting the age of 25, already has a discography of over twenty albums and mixtapes to his name. Raised in Sacramento, CA the “South Sac Mack” had the benefit of a home studio as a child as his Mother was studying music production. In his teens Chuuwee (born Dionte Hunter) was already destroying local poetry slams with his rhymes.

The fruit of this constant labor includes U.S. shows alongside such influences as Mistah Fab, Rakim and Rhymefest. He also recently completed a European tour with JR & PH7.

Los Angeles based Trizz (born Arthur Lea III) compliments his partner well. Picking up the microphone at the age of 9, he has developed his own voice that reflects both his California DNA as well as an interest in the macabre. Among his successful early works was his album Case 17 (so named for the 17 murders tied to serial killer, Jeffrey Dahmer).

Now at 24 years old, Trizz lyrical skills earned him a place on horrorcore legend, Brotha Lynch Hung’s, Madesicc Muzicc label. This includes earning two writing credits on Brotha Lynch Hung’s seventh studio album Mannibalector (2013) and appearing on the Independent Powerhouse Tour”, alongside Tech N9ne, Rittz and Kutt Calhoun.

Gearing up for the release of “AmeriKKa’s Most Blunted 2” the duo whetted fan’s appetites with the release of a free EP titled “The Smoke Out”, which dropped in Mid-February. The 3 songs on this EP are available on the CD version as bonus tracks.

Their previous two AMB albums and two EPs have racked up millions on millions of streams on Spotify alone. Not only that, but they have definitely kept in moving in their solo careers, too, which only helps cement Chuuwee and Trizz's status as two of the West's best artists right now.

Chuuwee says “I greatly appreciate everyone who has supported this series into its 3rd installment. AMB started out as just a collaboration and now it’s a brand and a growing piece of California music culture,” Trizz also adds “And we still the most blunted... after the 3rd one. Shout out to all the diehard fans who been down since day one. We built this organically and couldn’t have gotten it done without y’all!”
