Sirobosi Frawstakwa, member of the Instagram group "Verse of the Day" invited me to a special chat (at Wowapp, see below)- this group and the chat are dedicated to freestyle rappers who only work with their smartphones.
•thanks, that's a talented bunch of vocalists - very cool ;)•

I like the idea to bring poems to the world in such a short and unadulterated way. So I asked him if he would give me some of his verses to combine with something new and yes :)
here it is:

*How Did They Know?*

how did they know that I would flip out with the flows?
was it something I said? assuming so but I suppose
that that’s the way that it goes like how else could I ever hope
to upload a viral video as a post?
I’m nowhere near a pro but if by chance I get close
I’ll continue to show integrity gotta have soul
in this twilight zone guest starring celebrity ghosts
I just get in the spirit when I get on the microphone

without a worry in the world
working my way towards rhyming with every word
I guess you could say I’m a nerd
or something else unlike what you have ever heard of
some of my lyrics are absurd
others are profound and each of them obscure
through it all rest assured
that me without a sound it never would occur

never striking a pose in model citizen mode
political moves without ulterior motives
a modern day mogul making the most of the moment
the message in the music just keeps on giving them more
so without further adieu about to give them what for
and if you want to know the reason why I’m not really sure
it’s just a natural occurrence an artist to the core
and this has been my #verseoftheday thanks for listening yo

this is my second attempt at catching wreck mic check
but maybe it’s just not my time yet

early bird gets the worm
meaning get up ready to get out there and earn
I’m not waiting until my turn
both ends of the candle burn baby burn
I’ve been aware of my worth
I wonder what would happen if I pushed myself further
well let me finish this first
then I’ll follow up with something so good that it hurts

always been old school
since the days of my youth

great appreciation to
a network of enchanted,
conscious music,
enabling me to weave
a poetry of resilience.
journeying to mystic places,
reflection, projected in waves of rhythm.
feeling home in melodies
made of new and old.
paintings to spark the soul.

I WISH I COULD FOLLOW MORE OF YOU - 

FAIR EXCHANGE is NO ROBBERY has Been a long, long, long time in the making and major work some Songs YOU will Know Some you Won't (But all of you will Know just how much Work it takes xxx)

When I have been able to promote my work I get a good response - 17,686 Plays of 'OH SINNER PEOPLE' Promotion to On-line Music Press and Facebook readers over 12 weeks  Also VANILLA & VIOLET Feat TOT has 4,435 Plays in 1 month ...

The Me-La
In an interview on GLR when DJ, Reggae Queen Miss ‘P’ asked me, “what was the difference between” me and “your usual Lovers Rocker” At first I had no idea what she was referring to, finally the Penny dropped and replied in Spanish about being milk with Coffee. Of course there is a lot of Coffee in my Music and Artwork. So don’t expect one style from me.

My influences are rangy and eclectic, from my early years Joan Baez and Bob Dylan to Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd and Bob Marly, From Billie Holiday to Nina Simone and Joni Mitchell, Geoffrey Onyema to Dollar Brand, Puccini and Maria Callas, Leonard Cohen, Toots and the Maytals...and so so many more, I am very Lucky to have such a rich tapestry to enjoy.

Please Note: All Tracks Sheila Giles/A Plum Music Publishing/IMRO/MCPS Except 'Oh Sinner People' which is my take on Nina Simone take on the Classic Gospel Song 'Sinnerman' (EMI)
