 A song really close to my heart. To know that i'm never far from God's love. That He's always a constant, He never leaves. This got me through low moments in life, i pray it does the same for you. 

Come Home. BlackSkillz Ft Noel Nderitu

Put my heart in this verse on a song with Yung Nnoiz and Jane B. Suicide, family tensions, drinking, put it all in because God took them all out and i'm thankful.

Yung Nnoiz Ft Blackskillz,Jane Butterfly- Thankfull-

It was great to feature on this song by my brothas! We can never repay God fully for Christ, but it was never meant to be an equal exchange anyway otherwise we'd brag about it. Have a listen.

John 14:6-  Amplified Bible (AMP)

                                  WINTER LYRICS

                                               VERSE 1

 Hey y’all we not yet Uhuru, some people rocking chiffon others rocking fubu.
Young kids in school say they wanna do what you do,
But running from the process and they choose to use the ‘voodoo’: A little lame.
Chasing fame to be Lil wayne, get a little dame with a little frame, with a bigger cheque and a bigger name, bigger rides throwing game- 
But wake up sounding whack with a fake chain.
Chasing dreams but the dreams run fast, some broke your heart so your heart wears a cast,
Painting pictures of success in your art class, calculating how to ball in your math class.
The only thing you wanna do is to puff pass, wanna sit on top of the world? Sit on an atlas.
We aint cool, cool are the new geeks, please, us Jesus freaks and mathletes?
With old school flows our tongues are antique, the word is plastique, the feel is rustique,
They like, ‘these Christians cold, antarctic,’ never compromise even if they attack it.
We are the last of a dying breed,
And our life shows heaven through a live feed,
If my deed is to rap for the time being, ima do it, cause I’m eternal and will never be a time being.

                                            VERSE 2
 Painting pictures in your mind frame, that's (w)right brothers, we were fly before they knew how to fly planes,
Messing with the fly dames, once a kid doing what kids do but got tired of the mind games.
It's like we only want success in the fun way, But what's the use of being fly with no runway?
Sana, they don’t wanna see Canaan, they just wanna go ahead and see Rihanna.
Your head is on a chopping board, but you still chase a tiara.
Quick to bow, wow, like the ex of Ciarra

If only the lies were as see through, and give the naked truth to our people.
Words of life to the flesh death sentences; wanna see you delivered like text messages.
From the lies of the ones whose intention was to lie all a man is, is an erection
And a woman’s worth is defined in penetration, So we pick and drop them like a supermarket section
We gotta ask what example are we setting, if it’s wrong then restore all our factory settings.
The gospel of truth better, than leggings- It’s a cold world cause we see the sun setting.
The gospel, is the only thing to make a human clean,
So with it we head off like a guillotine

                                       VERSE 3

If a red rose is what you put your identity on, does it mean that your beauty is covered in thorns?
That you’re loved more when you’re plucked out of your home, get used then you’re buried when you all alone?
You’re worth more than you’ll ever know,
You need a prince like the preacher from Singapore,
Ever seen a queen king shopping in a store?
Searching for less but you wanting that mi amor? (a more)Uh,
Don’t believe the hype, we really put a ring around the spirit but the finger is a type.
Your body is a temple and your womb carries life: and I know you aint cool with your heart being ice.
Girl, Gods love already paid your bride price, 
And your groom is waiting under the night lights
He is the son and he’s here to make you Christ like
Take away the cold coz your spirit is who Christ likes
Other brothers throw game that is flowery
But who else ever paid eternal dowry
I know men move words like feng shui, But his words will never pass trust he
Compare, dying on a cross to bending on one knee laying his life down for you to be free, 
You say I’m just a broken rose, with no scent for a holy nose, but that’s exactly why Jesus rose

What is Nairobi to you? What would you love Nairobi to be?

NaiCity - BlackSkillz -mp3

A collaboration with Ukoo Flani's Zakah and amazing songstrress, this song is one takes us back to what we grew out of as we grew up. 
Much love to producer #RisingSon who i had a conversation with more than a year ago and was truly used of God to get this song done. The beat is amazing brother and i am forever grateful for our conversation.
The song is a reminder that some things fade away with time as we get to know ourselves and as we get to know God and there is a beauty and healing in letting some things go as our days increase. What things do you look back on and realize you grew out from?

We Grew Up

Beautiful Black By BlackSkillz

A tribute poem from my debut poetry anthology Flowers in a broken Vase.
This iconic work by the iconic Queen Maya Angelou, I know why the caged bird sings has been an anchor for many.
This poem, I know why the caged bird is caged, is a poem that was midwifed into life by the hands of Maya's life changing words.

I know why the Caged bird is caged. Maya Angelou Tribute by Kenyan Poet DAVID OYUKE

I sat down with Ezekiel Azonwu & Chris Webb Of PIA when they were in Kenya recently and interviewed them about their art, faith, family, faithfulness with little and accountability.

Enjoy

Conversations With Ezekiel Azonwu & Chris Webb Of PIA

Had to reshare this throwback.

Lyrics
(Stan sings)
We would strum, chords, with steel guitars, surreal,
in the garden, where fruits are made, we would laugh,
making merry with no care in the world.

(B.Skillz)
I heard angels harmonize as they called my name,
in the middle of the garden guitars playing.
Saw smiles more beautiful than rainbows, 
this is where the rain goes,
making sure the pain goes.
Fruits of freedom only seem to be growing, laughter showing, 
this is mind blowing.
I saw this angel looking down with a glance
and her hand reached out, she wanted a dance.
Fresher than the dew on the grass after the rain pass,
eyes shining like a crystal glass.
She introduced me as one of her own,
told me don't be shy, come recite a poem.
I saw birds come out, sit at they (their) feet,
visions of guitars made a fly beat.
Threw my bags down, saw my future flash,
cause i just found home in the middle of the garden.

(Stan hums then sings hook)

We would strum, chords, with steel guitars, surreal,
in the garden, where fruits are made, we would laugh,
making merry with no care in the world.

(B.Skillz)
Like dancing in the milky way, dancing on stars,
singing on Venus, kissing on Mars,
watching lilies in the morn, roses in the dark,
holding hands with the one that you love in the park.
I felt all this love when i started to write,
like the pen carried me on its wings of flight.
Like rolling in the leaves, standing in the breeze,
even pulled up a melody from under my sleeve.
Opened my mouth to the fruit of the rhythm,
every word they said, felt like breathing.
Tears of joy ran down my cheeks as i heard, 
each and every word the angel speaks.
As the melodies, colored up my soul,
and the rhythm of the beat made a brother feel whole,
then i knew, this is where my future be, 
so in the middle of the garden is where you'll find me.

(Stan hums)
(so in the middle of the garden is where you'll find me.

(free-styled spoken word piece as Stan sings hook)

(B.Skillz)
(so in the middle of the garden is where you'll find me,
cause i just found home in the middle of the garden)

(Stan sings)
Even those days were happy and merry, i will look ahead,
a new day is coming

(B.Skillz)

Even though those days were beautiful like caramel smiles,
i will look ahead, cause my journey goes on for a couple of miles.


(Stan sings)
Even those days were happy and merry, i will look ahead,
a new day is coming

(B.Skillz)
Even though those days were beautiful like caramel smiles,
i will look ahead, cause my journey goes on for a couple of miles.
