This is a cover of a song by Lisa Hannigan ...Yall enjoyed my cover of Undertow so might as well do another...I always love the video for this song. So simple but effective...added to Lisa voice on this windy quirky song...the end result was beautiful...it reminded me of the Alexander McQueen moment in 1998 during his 1999 Spring collection show...where he sprayed the gorgeous Shalom Harlow & dress with color while she was on the runway...Magnifique 
I did it in my own way take a listen to Lisa version. I love it

Knots (Lisa Hannigan Cover)

We breakdown the lyrics of Kendrick Lamar's new song Auntie Diaries  because now yall have calm down. Can we regroup on this masterpiece 
Kendrick Lamar's Aunties Diaries is the first time we see a cisgender heterosexual Black man grapple with the subject of the trans experience so deeply in Hip Hop. His use of slurs has triggered a backlash that is overshadowing the beauty of this powerful autobiographical story of change and acceptance.

338 Lets Revisit Kendrick Lamar's Auntie Diaries

Continuing our Creating Change series, the Porch sat down with narrative activists Sam Master and Diamond Stylz to discuss queer and trans liberation in our lifetime. The two talk about their southern roots and the legacy of organizing passed down by women in their families, being a femme as a politic, as well as surviving American racial and gender apartheid. Sam and Diamond also call on marginalized people’s history of resilience as an antidote to this moment of learned helplessness and explore “igniting the kindred” as a recipe for our collective survival.

The Porch Podcast S1, Episode 2: Igniting the Kindred ft. Sam Master and Diamond Stylz

This is an original song I wrote inspired by the doom and gloom of current events, Chaka Khan, Rahsaan Patterson, and John Rutter Choral arrangements 
Lyrics, Vocals, and Arrangements by Diamond Stylz. Backing track by @yogic beats


1st verse
Is there a constellation 
to show you where my heart is
Tender estimation. 
Im sure you have planned destination
Just where I wanna be
Is there a constellation 
to show you where my heart is
Whats your estimation. 
To get to my height. 
In this cold & heart less world

2nd verse
Is it a manifestation
That you would come into my life?
Thee edification 
of all the things ive done right?
Even the wrong vibrations  lead me to your heart 
is it a manifestation
That you would come and bring some much joy to my world
This cold and heartless world
In this cold and heartless world
This cold and heartless world 

Vamp
Cold And Heartless World 

3rd Verse
Is it a constellation 
That brought you to me
Its in the constellation
That brought to me
Thanking the stars above me 
For bring me my joy.
In this cold and heartless world
Thanks you for bringing my joy.

The Politics of Black Style: Gender, Resistance, Black Dandyism & why the Met gala was kinda slavey

I wanted to make a song about being lost running away, trying to find yourself and then finding your chosen family.... and how the family that you find in the world is your family.... and it's not necessarily because of blood but more so because of love... sometimes that family is a relative and sometimes they're not but you love them just the same.  Happy Pride.
