In Crown's latest summer release "LIGHT UP" he laces catchy chants and soothing melodies over a hypnotic beat and speaks of the need for atmosphere manipulation using candles and incense in order to change the vibe and create a healing and uplifting environment for his spirit.... This "joint" is definitely a SUMMER ANTHEM !!! (pun intended) =)

Words Of Life

2010-06-02T08:22:00.000-07:00

Another variety of our modern day artistic heroes are the spoken word artist. The spoken word is such a powerful form of expression because it allows you to channel your truth in abstract or literal ways. Self expression is vital to the over all health of the human being. We've all heard the scriptural saying "The truth shall set you free", and the art of spoken word is a powerful tool for the freeing of self, self discovery, and the making of a happy heart.... They say the powers to speak life & death into existence lie in the tongue. It is said that in the beginning "The Almighty" created the natural universe with a word, and it is also said that we were made in the image of the creator. Examine "your" speech, and ask yourself "does my tongue speak forth life or death, truth or falsehood ?" Will you choose to utilize your vital energy to be a force and source of life & healing or death & destruction ? Explore your inner poet, discover your intrinsic wisdom & truth, and when you find it speak it courageously. Exorcise the fear within that was taught to you by the world which says that your voice is not valid or important, validate your own experiences, speak from the heart and effect the world with your passionate words, for they have the power to transform and alter perception & reality.... With your words what type of reality will YOU create ???

Why Is It So Hard For Our Favorite Groups To Stay Together ?

2010-04-23T23:55:00.000-07:00

Why Is It So Hard For Our Favorite Groups To Stay Together ? It seem as though once groups reach the pinnacle of their success their members decide to go their separate ways and pursue solo projects, or other creative endeavors. Jackson 5, Debarge, New Edition, NSync, and many other groups have struggled to stay together in the face of growing success & popularity. Usually the lead singer is plucked from the group and groomed for super-stardom while the remaining members are discarded or destined for appearances on reality television shows. Perhaps it's ambition, ego, growing apart creatively, the desire to express one's self as an individual rather than as a group, or all of the above that causes the disintegration of great groups; but one group that has impressively held it together over the years despite their share of difficulties is New Edition; that's why I choose to honor them today. The story of New Edition reminds me of the 5 Heartbeats, they may have lost a member or two, but they always seem to find their way back to the group in the end. New Edition is a living shinning example of resilience and solidarity for a generation that has very few points of reference for such virtues..... May New Edition & their music LIVE FOREVER !
