Enjoy the photos from July 2 July 3!

The day before the 4th of July BBQ… JULY 3rd.. this is how I move thru the city in 1 day… Some people don’t like NY.. seriously on any given day you can bump into EVERYONE!!!!!! how’d I go from Mez to Afrika Bambaataa??? You’ll see!

(Mez throwing up the Pez sign)

(Bryan.. Ray…)

(Bryan’s crib is amazing.. even more so is his MUSIC.. dammit soo talented!)

I left Bryan’s crib to run uptown to Shiro’s party

And LOOK WHO I BUMPED INTO??!!!! MY APPLEBUM TWIN

I was initially gonna drive but there was soooo much traffic.. i was soooo late getting around.. so i decided to hop on the train to meet.. Shingo and Chikako

We finally made our way to the Bronx..and what can I say.. Shiro got BUSY preparing for her big day… CHECK IT!

Shiro’s the truth man! You know how you get the vibe that your friends now could’ve been your siblings or more in a past life.. Shiro’s vibe is just water yo.. i feel like she’s 1 with me.. such a great young woman.

(PESU showed up to support his friend Shiro)

(Who’s that in the light blue hat? Bgirl Mari??? 🙂 yes!)

(Real talk that’s Afrika Bambaataa!!!!)

Shiro’s apart of Zulu Nation if you don’t know..now you know.. for the essence of Hip Hop to REALLY be there the day of her opening Gallery in The BRONX.. is amazing.. Shiro’s spirit is really great.. I can’t stress that enough 😉

So real talk..how’s you like the dose of Yin???? Now for the actually YANG.. “and when it hits.. it hurts inside” – Bruce Lee…
okay friends and fam.. mite kudasai:

I’m unbelievably tranquil to be on my leg$$$ when it comes to cash. I’m completely bankrupt yo. I still have a roof over my head and a world of support. I think about everyone who’s been here in this position…down to the last, last, last handful of cash…$ Damon Dash, Creature, Marvalous, 50 Cent, and more. Even more so I think about the fire in the belly of my forefathers like Frederick Douglass that simply refused, much like Kunta Kinte, to be bound by slavery or controlled by someone else’s will. I don’t wanna be a slave, ever again to what America does to people. I was miserable working for someone else. Bound to my desk..with my creative thoughts beasting at all times… You see me smiling because I am really happy to be alive. I have nothing, nothing but + NRG (positive energy). The question is how hard was I really, really trying…and why am I completely tapped out??

My walk thru history is unique…and tough…It is a virtuous one, I didn’t say perfrect for the truth is NOT perfect but it is virtuous, especially to myself. How can I work and make a living for someone else if I really don’t wanna do that!? I’m so anti it’s eating away at me!

I didn’t hit rock bottom because I still have my health, good looks (lol) and creative mind.

All I got is my word and my skillz. What I’ve been focusing on is being in harmony with the universe (with God). Wealth..what does that really mean? My character might be wealthy.. my spirit and understanding might really be wealthy depending on who’s observing or building with me… but that doesn’t equate here… ima figure this out.. maybe i hiatus is best ..ima figure it out… don’t worry this is just documentation of the path I’m on.. stupid maybe.. I could give a fuk less at this point.. I don’t have a face..or a wall.. I got my heart on my sleeve..

My jayz remix album american monsta has over 100,000 downloads.. my michael jackson remixes are over 30,000 downloads.. i know I’m doing something right but it’s seriously the question of what separates the men from the boys? that remixes i got online for free download originally had nooo promotion at all.. just bong..they’re up.. find it if u can… how to translate all those hits into something that can really help sustain me… quitting is not even a possibility .. if i quit i am gonna be the walkin dead at the day job

私の言葉は未来を創造 sooo.. 有言実行 !

(my words create the future so I gotta walk the talk)

what I have now is a canvas.. no paint.. Just a brush ..water and zero gravity
