Mtume - Green Light

Sunday Jazz in conjunction with Digital Crate Digging Continues as we rock these venues!

It’s going down on a wet Sunday afternoon from our remote outpost out off of I-20 in Atlanta; we’ve got options like a drop down menus. 

It’s going down! we’ve got this good word plus the funky sound, as breakbeat scientific methods are utilized!

It’s going down! but damn! just heard James Mtume just went home to be with the ancestors! 2022 as bad as 2021? not surprised!

We’re checking out this supreme funk from  Mtume  with  a track called Green Light. 

This is off the Juicy Fruit project we’re just coming with something different; check the players and the track! Check It Out! Let's Go! Alright?

The Construction Site (Part Ten)

 We’re still “all up in the spot” aka the construction site; we had to deal with some delays. 

Blaming it on Mercury Retrograde? I guess, it’s supposed to station on the 18th before moving forward in a couple of days!

Who’ll work with me? games are played like the NBA preseason; in a couple of days the regular season will be here. 

Teams are undergoing construction, meanwhile regular citizens are dealing with the corruption / treason as Trump insurrectionists try to take it there!

Society is not playing fair, Throwback Thursday / Flashback Friday? to ease the pain? she’ll play Anita Baker’s Body and Soul.

Music is the medicine, like Gary Bartz a Sanctuary!! medicine taken day by day after being out there, attending the mad carnival.. aka Life; cutting like a knife after dealing with the sinister; the carnival’s main attraction? Strife led to a shadow of her dreams, now it's pain she’s attracting!

We came back with this construction; its being done on prime real estate.

Similar to Brass Construction, we're Movin On! sacred sounds being put down on sacred grounds; this is our strategy for dealing with the hate!

During the ongoing debate? please believe me....God is not through with a bruh yet!!

On thin ice we all skate, some can relate! Lord Help! Lord Help! is the Battle Cry! this bruh didn't forget!!

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..
