I felt blessed and honoured to be asked by Abdur-Rahim Muhammad to write a piece for the Paul Robeson mural. If only I could be on 1351 U Street, NW Washington, DC the home of the Hung Tao Choy Mei Leadership Institute!

If you are passing by, you can listen to my dedication to Paul "A Spirit of Joy" 

A Spirit Of Joy - Paul Robeson

A hiphop project dedicated to the music I enjoy and topics that I have reflected on. 

This cover version is in ode to the legendary J Dilla along with one of the my favourite songs 'God bless the Child' written by Billie Holiday and Arthur Herzog Jnr.

[Verse 1]
 Mega bosses
 Coptic intersections
 Cities is gorgeous
 With the night gargoyle glarin' on European fortress
 Flawless
 Fashion kissed amidst the grips of devil's corpses
 On bronze velvet loom the Moorish History's pistol, now loaded
 Defy logic of definition's issue
 Self quoted brothel
 Fuck with me, get a mouthful
 Sour bands radiate vibrations on Gallivan
 Just beatin' down the boulevards
 To kick bars that would reroute you
 Man
 Trigger tongues finger fuck Solomon's Key and bun
 These daggers held in a spiral
 Thrown like darts when peasants go run
 In the presence
 Of my mind to eyein' my leverage
 Sole controller the planet but soul controllers want me to forget it
 Spare the dream
 Yo if I sleep I'm chokin' on kerosene
 Paper weight
 Hold down the hood like murder wrote by the queen
 We boycott Christmas fulfillin' God's wishes
 My wish for mines to blow inside ya box and blow yall scene
 Yall good as gone
 Rockin' my grandfather's charm-- Excelsior
 Poor righteous flow evolved to enrich
 No humidor
 Piff lore with a parallel myth from out my pores
 Liftin' scores from the manifold
 The silencer a cantaloupe 
 Ponder on the nature 
 The Neteru that laid some jewels to cut through this equation
 Fly nigga at the train station
 Kick in the door like a Premier knock or Private Stock libation
 That fit the triple seven right through the slot
 I'm Classi Middle School hot, came from a hard place
 And so the kid decide he should rock and rock at Allah's pace
 Iron in the morning sharin' mom's face
 Lonely sons that's hard pressed to rise out of shape til they detonate
 When black holes bustin' like dutches-- luscious reverberate
 Trickle through the deeds for the leads of creasin' the heavyweight
 Then ima travel light
 Gather like reich
 Defiance on mics for the lavish insight
 We keepin' shit tight
 Above all else sun

[Chorus]
 A fine line between makin', money
 That's for your kingdom
 Trials that would make it funny, debt to Hell
 A fine line between livin', golden
 Thinkin' shit is sweet and get ya cap frozen, down in here
 A fine line might make you think you, chosen
 But know the realest truth that remains is holdin', onto skill
 Now if I wanna eat would I....?
 I know that I'm a good hood guy
 Yeah

For The Love

Producer K15, or Kieron Ifil, is one half of Profusion, the new project that brings together the two worlds and multidisciplinary talents of him and singer Emeson, who plies his trade not just as a singer who has work with Peter Gabriel, Chico Hamilton and more but also as an actor having appeared in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and various Marvel comic adaptations.

We have the pleasure of premiering Golden, taken from their debut album Where Do I Begin? our now on First Word Records, a jazzy track with a soft broken beat and tribal groove that lays the foundation for Emeson's soulful vocals.

Of the creative process behind Where Do I Begin?, Ifil has commented that: “I make all kinds of music, so working with Emeson is a chance to build on those ideas with someone outside of myself. He has such a rich voice, so I try to strip back some of the layers in the music so there is room for him to really live.”

Where Do I Begin?
