Donald Byrd "Love Has Come Around" (Spivey's 4am ReWork)

 Digital Crate Digging Continues as a Saturday afternoon shifts into Saturday evening soon we'll be Saturday Night Fevering!

Unrelated to Covid 19 symptoms, the illness is still with us along with the flu so what's up / what it do? in the midst of the madness we kept it moving / we kept believing!

We keep achieving but it's in the midst of shady business  / shady dealings; like  Trump vs Putin the dotted line freezes; the contract? apparently its irreversible!

No releases, told to keep playing or face consequences  or karmic repercussions; some kind of a performers curse?

My constituents? they felt the pressure like even Brotha O dealt with; I heard them pray and curse, arguments were vehement.

But the so called truth hurts even while out here playing that game but they'll have to deal with it.

Brotha O? authentic  / real with it; like like this Donald Byrd "Love Has Come Around" (Spivey's 4am ReWork)!

Check the flow, as we deal with it fueled by the music, this is how it's going down / how it'll work! 

Deep N Soulful House Mix | January 2026

 Digital Crate Digging Continues as we come through with this Saturday Night Fever /  weekend edition!

New Year's Day vibes are still present  / evident from Thursday so who'll work with me as we step into tomorrow like Donald Byrd, dropping this sound accompanied by this good word? this is how we're living!

I heard what some had to say so others are asking; were those moonlight confessions veridical!

Some gained insight by your actions plus they heard the word on the curb  / word in the wind concerning you being radical.

Peace? like Venezuela getting gaffled soon it's eradicated the whole atmosphere shifted but not in a positive way now it's poisoned.

It's cold like winter's grip; Brotha O kept mentioning the polar vortex and the sport being complex aka situations you'll lose poise in.

Brotha O kept bringing the noise in, dropping this Deep N Soulful House Mix | January 2026 courtesy of beyond72!

Check out the playlist and the mix to see what's up / what it do!

We're Just Trying To Hold On (Part Three)

 Check us out as we get retro futuristic on a Throwback Thursday  / Thankful Thursday!

We're just trying to hold on, out on a limb like Teena Marie?  with jokers under us with chain saws trying to cut the tree down so what will the deal be?

Oh yeah! caught out there like Zelensky in Ukraine,  hanging out on a limb as I hear chainsaws buzz..

..underneath me; so what's up / what's the deal? am I soon tasting darkness?

Out there where others are waiting about to blackout due to the apparatus hating; but I'll survive and it's an encumbrance to the enemy..

..as they try to establish then encourage weakness; even said we had weird energy.

Per a Brotha O Throwback Thursday catch phrase shared with one of our I-20 in Atlanta constituents? the whole game is shady!

We're just trying to hold on out here in our remote outpost trying to develop a strategy!

Doing damage? the storms are, I saw and heard those blustery winds of change that kept blowing!

We're just trying to hold on, surveying all the wreckage after the Donald Byrd Wind Parade  blew as the madness keeps growing.

Some mentioned new and improved methods to deal with that and this coming through with the Winter Solstice? or will A.I. fix it, some kind of technological magic?

Please! we're just trying to hold on due to previous episodes per the shoddy workmanship done by bootleg and shadetree mechanics! recovery? well that road goes on forever, it's tragic!

Still Taking Mystic Voyages (Part Ten)

 On this Throwback Thursday  / Thankful Thursday? the mothership gets good mileage as we still take mystic voyages  / journeys!

Still retro futuristic even making moves after the smoke cleared so who'll work with these...

...or those who the devil will oppose? nosy, observing the scene  / doing the knowledge but soon plummeting down this or that rabbit hole.

Took some artifacts with me on this mystic voyage  / journey knowing how the work can be;  knowledge eternal?

Lessons learned too while out there in the mainstream of mathematics it seems  location and timing are everything!

This nightshift wordsmith aka firesmith dealing with this Mercury Neptune conjunction in this Aries fire sign will let some know this aubade is a thing!

We keep doing the damn thing based on knowledge gained from the Places and Spaces I've been per Donald Byrd!

We keep doing the damn thing as digital crate digging continues plus we're dropping this good word!

You heard? for some it's not a simple thing as they try to keep it pimping, tempted by those magenta blushing lips? they sure looked delectable!

But per this Throwback Thursday knowledge /  per my Taxi Cab Chronicles the Sargent from Fort Knox said watch yourself to the new recruit going into Louisville on mystic voyages; be respectful!

But it's hard to do, visions and missions of dirty dancing are prevalent.

Mind altering! like a lot of us on mystic voyages  / journeys they're searching for a vibe that's exuberant!

Still Taking Mystic Voyages / Journeys (Part Four)

 Catch me still taking mystic voyages on this so called Terrible / Terrific Tuesday where things can go either way, but I'm still exercising an abundance of caution..

..even though I am stepping into tomorrow like Donald Byrd but due to circumstances, the past? I'm lost in.. ..plus caught up in the present per being caught up in the system / matrix, the funk? we couldn't fake it while taking these mystic voyages / journeys; promises of tomorrow fulfilled? Patience? my inheritance per Mom and Pops from up in Louisville so Brotha O never quits / stops, things will be okay so I just chilled.

But bad cards were dealt by these gamblers out for a fast buck, while pressing my luck offensive fouls were committed by me! trying to move too fast? coping strategies can fail ya so sometimes dialing back will be the strategy; moving too fast on these mystic voyages, sometimes some aren't ready! 

They aren't able said old girl over in Decatur I heard the fable now the drama will unfurl!  its like the Whispers some will get rocked steady! 

...or maybe the Aretha Franklin version; I even heard careless whispers like Wham! / George Michael emerging after Franklins, Grants, and Jacksons were passed out!

 Please!! we continue to put work in catch us out on these mystic voyages / journeys! we stay dedicated to the truth; the Deliberate Falsehood left some "assed out"

The question was asked by some of my constituents out here in the mainstream of mathematics and the answer given? they're told to just live! The question was asked by some of my constituents while on these mystic voyages / journeys while blasting off from our runway out in Atlanta off of I-20; the main advice given? they're told to just live! Supreme courage and maximum strength is needed to tell yourself I am loved / I am worthy / I am enough! Good advice! hopefully some of our constituents are fulfilling some kind of wish!

We're Wise To The Whole Set Up (Part Eight)

 On this so called Terrible  / Terrific Tuesday where things can go either way we're wise to the whole set up!

That's why we're trying to manifest the terrific outcome so once again its on we can't let up!

This is what's up, this O-Dog Day Party  / nightshift wordsmith aka the courier aka the hot messenger is here.

Packing dreams, I've got a whole sack full per this sound and this good word! just trying to manifest them so don't shoot the messenger!

Embracing the future Stepping Into Tomorrow like Donald Byrd as this Spring Equinox approaches we're taking the first steps..

..today;  even though naysayers will use Mercury and Venus retrograde type of energy to delay us we're embracing a degree of changefulness.

Even the danger zone is  navigated due to being wise to the whole set up!

Armed and dangerous with this good word and the sound? maybe even facing possession of hazardous material accusations from thought and fashion police by those that don't know what's up!

Its not strange but the mission is to proceed and continue, this Spring Equinox? it inspires! now we're leaving packing these hopes and dreams.

Rearranging things ignoring the hustle knocks; catch us handling business before it handles us per these changefulness schemes.

Remorseless embraced? no, that's like carrying extra baggage we're wise to the whole set up, its more like karma's caress.

The sport is complex as I mentioned before it's rough out here with policies implemented by the corrupt so we try to minimize the stress.

Donald Byrd - Elijah

Digital Crate Digging Continues as we come through with this Throwback Thursday  / Thankful Thursday edition!

The saga  / struggle continues as we take it back to the future, retro futuristic is how we're living!

I see how others were living, out here spazzing! I advised them to "stop all that fussing and cussing" you'll just blow a fuse! They say some of these jokers are full of negativity, playing that soundtrack from one who'll lose. You need to focus was the advice from Brotha O! sometimes you need to just bounce back and create something better. The arch nemesis was on the premises introducing this and that storm but darkening skies soon clear, confusing a bettor..

..that was betting you would lose! I told you the temperature is rising per this August weather but it's still a cold world as we cool things off with this music! we're checking out some classic jazz from Donald Byrd  with a track called Elijah, 

Check out the players and the track as we shift gears from O-Dog Day Partying to Afternoon Jazzing! this is what's up with a brotha!

Glitterbox Radio Show 383 : Hosted By Melvo Baptiste 14.08.24

 Digital Crate Digging Continues as we proceed and continue with this O-Dog Day per our HumpDay Extravaganza edition!

The saga  / struggle continues, true indeed; still O-Dog Day Partying celebrating life in the midst of the ongoing toil and strife; this is how we're living!

The saga  / struggle continues we're trying to make next level moves but we're not trying to behoove..

...what the next devil wants us to do; we're still trying to show and prove!

Rejecting the Deliberate Falsehoods meant to have us stranded in these hoods, we kept it moving even though we had to sacrifice!

The healing of the spirit is not complete as past episodes still try to affect the future; "it ain't nothing nice".

We didn't have to Think Twice per Donald Byrd check the sound dropped accompanied by this good word as we come through with this Glitterbox Radio Show 383 : Hosted By Melvo Baptiste 14.08.24!

Damn!! Its All Wrong (Part Seven)

 Check us out as we come through on this Saturday morning once prime time for this blog!

The saga  / struggle continues as we proceed and continue moving through the smoke and mirrors  / fog!

Damn! it's all wrong! some we're comfortable in the smoke and mirrors  / fog, waiting in the dark! I heard them calling from out in those silent spaces.

I was out there per Donald Byrd; Places and Spaces but I tried to avoid capture  / cases and let it go! plus Undisputed Truth said don't believe those smiling faces.

They don't tell the truth: damn! It's all wrong but I remembered to stay strong I didn't forget!

Jokers were always acting uncouth playing the Truth Game based on reality as they know it but success? that was my result, I didn't quit.

We didn't quit  / stop  we kept it moving even though we had to sacrifice; damn! it's all wrong!

We didn't quit  / stop even though we were stranded out there in the smoke and mirrors, asking damn! for how long?

Damn! it's all wrong! many were caught out there in the system  / matrix but damn! was that a glimmer breach? many were tricked by something shiny / silvery!

Victimized by those that fake it until they make it, now some beseech us for help from those acting slippery.

Acting like the song by Souls of Mischief but instead of from 1993 its from here to infinity they'll try to use Project 2025 trickery to rule.

Damn! It's all wrong! bravery is needed or we'll be played like a bunch of fools.

Acting Real Special (Part Four)

 Check us out as we come through on this Thankful Thursday so named because it's a blessing to be here!

Recognizing the Throwback Thursday time frame also catch us acting real special, retro futuristic with it when we're out here!

It's all love supposedly like Valentine's Day; catch me matching the composite sketch; an example of love's fluidity.

Doing it Fluid per the Donald Byrd and The Blackbyrds per the Throwback Thursday reference! maybe an unwilling  / reluctant participant  in some of these battles, in search of diplomatic immunity?

Acting real special but don't try to make me confess to doing what I do without some kind of compromise..

..or negotiation; when I start rapping or singing you probably won't like the song when I start to improvise.

I kept my eye on the prize acting real special sometimes extraordinary even though Brotha O-Zone is Everyday People like Sly and The Family Stone.

I kept my eye on the prize but unbought and unbossed like Hosea Williams check the black history during this month but actually 24 /7 /365? it's on!

We're acting real special but many are disheartened by the ongoing proceedings.

Some are acting real special from here in Atlanta to Kansas City to even the Gaza Strip! in the heart of this? bearing witness to a harvest of seedings..

..sowing feverishness but check it out; y'all see it's of a negative persuasion.

Acting real special but not in a positive way; now many of the negative doctrine believers are in conditions forlorn.

Prepare Yourself / It's Going Down (Part Nine)

 

Prepare Yourself! It's Going Down! word from Brotha O,  that's what I keep telling myself and others!

The saga  / struggle continues as life goes on as the toil and strife goes on; on this Saturday morning? once again its on, word from these brothas!

The saga  / struggle continues as we check out the vibes;  full of negativity? per wars and rumors of wars even in the Book Of Matthew there's talk of shattered things.

Reality? prepare yourself! you'll go back and forth to the left and to the right, its upside down with bruised and battered things. More than a pittance, check out the debatable circumstance; being built or torn down? I even heard echoes of regret. But we kept it moving, showing and proving but we had to prepare ourselves; what will the future beget?

Prepare yourself, it's going down I was told by the old school preacher up in Louisville; now I'm in the midst of spiritual warfare.

Prepare yourself, it's going down!! I warned others but "they didn't hear me though" I was considered "way way out there"

Which I am, out there on local / national, international and intergalactic frontiers fighting sometimes manifesting irrational fears; damn!! I opened my eyes, I was knocked out for a minute. Studying to show myself approved / doing the knowledge but I was ambushed by reality while rummaging through that old house that's decrepit. Oh!! we moved forward but echoes of regret were heard; damn! my accomplice aka my alter ego was injured! near death? Where did he go? he moved forward also, he had to prepare himself probably stepping into tomorrow like Donald Byrd with new shoes on; I spotted one shoe on the step!

Mandré - Solar Flight (Opus I)

Digital Crate Digging Continues as we get into this Saturday Night Fever edition, this is how we're living...

...also know as a Saturday Night Live edition, but there are no comedy skits, in 2020 life is in the pits, plus jokers are on Death Wishes like Charles Bronson, or even Bruce Willis, acting like they don't know what the deal is, so how are you living?

Due to Covid 19? in 2020  we're sheltering in place in these bunkers, hunkered down like like we're taking advice from Larry Munson concerning Georgia Bulldog football...

..I ain't lying; out on I-20 in Atlanta earlier I had work to do, cruising beside the old school 1973  Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme with 26's on it while some joker in a Dodge Charger passed us up, as if to say "I ain't fooling with y'all"

I wasn't mad at him, social distancing and masking when "out in those streets" on these intergalactic journeys not trying to end up on hospital gurneys; to a degree? anti - social, foolishness sets off my allergies so I had to tell some "I ain't fooling with y'all" 

I'm like an old concept I had going earlier called WTF? (What's That Foolishness?)  check us out, Local / National / International / Intergalactic Fronts? we'll school with this!! so what's up y'all?

Check us out, we're back with it after taking solar flights, listening to Mandré aka Andre Lewis with a track called  Solar Flight (Opus I)

Check this out!! we're back down here on earth, but it was Flight Time like Donald Byrd, you heard? dig this, we're on one!!

Donald Byrd - Design A Nation

Digital Crate Digging Continues on what I call the Saturday Night Fever segment; my constituents are eligible for it..

The saga / struggle continues aka life goes on, "holla at me" if your a believer!! "we're gonna make it"

Some will fake it until they make it!!  "do whatcha gotta do"; spotted dude on I-20 in Atlanta in the 70's model Cut Dog aka Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme with the Atlanta Falcons license tag representing his team!!

Will they make it?  season over due to Covid - 19?  meanwhile O-Zone kept playing, back in the day? arriving in Atlanta in the 70's model Buick Regal, I even switched up to the Cut Dog but rocking Louisville Cardinal gear, representing my team!!

What does it all mean? Laura Ingraham has some believing  Bernell Trammell was shot because he was on the wrong team aka a Trump supporter but it might have been a Milwaukee street thing, some of these jokers "don't know how the sport will go"

What does it all mean? brothas are damned if they do or don't! meanwhile we'll bring beats that bump plus we'll drop this good word aka the Intelligent Design as we try to walk and talk  with the Lord based on how the sport will go!!

What does it all mean? evolution vs intelligent design? the Lord laughed at jokers trying to do the math, meanwhile we pray about this path we're on;  Trump has destroyed the nation per Covid -19 reactions and other factors..

Saturday night? back on the scene trying to take Donald Byrd's advice; Design A Nation!! check out  the players to see what the track does..
