Kenyans4Kenya

I was watching this and crying for all of the babies, all of the children that have died, all of the children that will die and all of the children that will grow up with no parents because of the drought in East Africa. If anyone can donate to this website

Kenyans4kenya.co.ke
please do, have some compassion in you comfy beds, your comfy apartments with your tap water and 24 hour grocery stores for the people that have none of those things but have heart, and have walked, some for 30 days to refugee camps and had to leave siblings and children and parents dead in their tracks because there was nothing that they could do. I see their emaciated bodies and all I can think of is HOW CAN I HELP? WHY DO I FEEL SO HELPLESS?

Maybe I can get some artists to volunteer to do a benefit concert with me and we'll donate all the proceeds to Kenyans4Kenya. Would anyone be interested in this? If you are a promoter, if you own a venue, if you are a performer and you'd be down for something POSITIVE and MEANINGFUL like raising money to help people who are in greater need than yourself, please hit me.

Just him and his guitar

I had to add this one too. It's amazing what can happen online. To have someone like this hit me up and ask to collab-I get SO MUCH BULLSHIT aimed at my head on FB for this to fall into my hands like this just seems kismet. I mean I get asked to collab so much on FB and the majority of the time I don't really listen to the music because I'm all for letting music happen organically. I knew Sciryl for a year and did shows with him and chilled and bonded with him before we released a project together. There's something to that. Making music with people you have a connection with. That's how music should be done so it's almost against my religion to collab with someone I know nothing about and never had any human contact with.. But this guy, yo.. We had a talk and I found out he's a libra AND Jimi Hendrix is his idle? I have no doubt in my mind that you will all be hearing a collab from me and dude soon.

I been working on my guitar skills back and fourth for a year or so now.. It's seems like every time I get some good quality calluses on my fingertips I plateau, get uninspired and put the guitar down. This dude makes me wanna go pick it back up. Like Righ' now, righ' now.

Pics from the Sol Collective in Sacremento, CA

Just stumbled upon these photos in my computer that I took last year while I was touring with Rebel Diaz and YC The Cynic. They're from this non profit called the Sol Collective which is kind of like the RDAC of the west coast. I remember it being a very chill place and obviously full with lots of art and inspiration. Hope you like the pics!

Miss Representation

Newest Miss Representation Trailer (2011 Sundance Film Festival Official Selection) from on Vimeo.

This is a documentary that my home girl DJ DopeShoes put me on to today. I wanna set up a screening of this film with DopeShoes so anyone that's interested hit me up and we'll make a little event surrounding it. My all female sisterhood, Fem'Fatale, will be heavily involved but I ENCOURAGE men to come and watch and for all of us to invite young women in our lives to watch this documentary!

The depiction of women in media is a topic that is discussed so often in Fem'Fatale and in my life in general, its great that someone cared enough to make this the topic of a documentary. I can't wait to see it!!

The Band Called Fuse

I feel like this should be up here, i gotta start showing more love to all my brilliant artist friends on my blog. Listen, I know some of the most talented people in NY.. which means that I know some of the most talented people in the world. There is so much amazing talent to inspire me and keep that fire under my ass, It just wouldn't be right if I didn't share it with you. So "The Band Called Fuse" BONG!

Shooting from britta thie on Vimeo.

This is deep to me because of the underlying theme of dehumanization in modeling. If you were a photographer taking picture of her every frame was gorgeous but she's being barked at like a dog and obeying like one. Its such a strange dichotomy to get something so beautiful done so distastefully.

Baby Just Be U -KAD

Baby just be U

i see you with your head held high
your socks rolled up and your converse shoes
and i say baby just be U

i love your nappy hair and the way your chin reflects the same
don't cut that off for business meetings
baby just be U

when you took that scarf and wrapped it around your head like you were the reincarnation of jimi hendrix..
when you thought you were the reincarnation of jimi hendrix..
with a better business savvy..
when i thought you were jimmy too,
i thought baby just be U

when you started balding at 19 cuz you're tall enough for the sun to sear the hair off the top of your head,
i said baby just be U

your body is soft and hard and long and short and big and small
baby just be U

your skin is rough and smooth and hairy and bare and light and dark
baby just be U

i saw you staring in the mirror feeling really good about yourself and i wished i could be like that when i looked in the mirror..
i admire your confidence sister.. brother..
baby just be U

i saw you reading a book with your frames on.. no lenses.. and i thought i could do that too..
i admire your ability to be audaciously fly and brilliantly educated
baby just be U

every time you eat like you never ate before and you get the ITIS, you open up a button on the top of your hipster jeans and I've never been more attracted to you and your protruding belly..

every time you roll a blunt and i want to know what hurts you, i become more intrigued by your pain and depth..

every time you bite your tongue i want to suck the blood that drips from it..

every time you earn a dollar i wonder what 100 thoughts you exchanged for them..

every time you wear your jeans under your ass with a belt i wonder who your mother is..

every time you touch me i wonder why your hands keep changing..

U have power, U are sexy.

U are playful, U have facets.

U are insecure.

and i love U,

so baby,

just be U.
