Remember
I remember that I am a manifestation of the Universe. I am able to activate change by spoken word and the spark of thought. God Has Blessed Us! I wish prosperity and health to all my friends and family. I have the ability to move mountains because I know and believe I can. God is Awesome and so are YOU!

Supernatural You
If we look at the surface uncertainties may cause us to panic and worry.However these emotions are fruitless and add nothing to your stature. Be anxious for nothing. In prayer and supplication make your requests know to God and you will have what you desire. That's #Word! Do not be conformed to this world. You are a supernatural being created in the image of the creator and All Things are possible.

Our Value
We Have Value
Over the course of my years on this earth I have been involved in many specific ongoing conversations. One specific conversation always sticks out the most. Why don’t black people stick together? I have had this conversation with all sorts of individuals and there never seems to be a definitive answer. Well guess what? I have the answer.
We don’t adequately demonstrate the respect and value that we have with each other by exchanging the proper type of energy.
I would go on a tirade about the history of people of color right now, however I know that is the root of the problem. I could also go on a long spiel about how other cultures benefit and flourish from the proper exchange of energy, however that would be a waste of energy for me. Allow me to be plain.
Money is energy. Our community has yet to capitalize off the value that has been embraced thousands of times over around the world. We take each other for granted and we do not extend the same type of respect we extend to other cultures with regards to exchanging money.
Where a man spends his money is where his treasure is. Our culture is a treasure and should be nurtured and appreciated. We should appreciate it so much that we give money/energy to preserve the essence of it and grow the treasure where we are.
The time has come to stop short changing our community and start breaking bread (sharing money/energy) and reap the benefits of it as a community.
Our community has the ability to exchange goods and services with each other. We must embrace our greatness and express it accordingly. Share energy and build the community. #THATISALL

It's On Me by Precise (Video)
I am so excited to be able to present to you the video for "It's On Me" produced by Tyehill and D.J. Thunder of the Produktionix.
I have a goal with the release of this video. I am shooting for One Million Views the first week. I know some of you may think this is impossible, however with GOD and YOUR help ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!
I believe music can be the catalyst for change. My hope is that "It's On Me" is an inspiration to others to start moving and affecting change.
My request is that you watch the video click like and leave a comment. I would also be extremely grateful for you to pass it on (share it) to 100 of your email contacts, and ask them to share it with 100 of their contacts. Doing it in this manner will get us One Million views.
When I wrote this song I was going through a transition in my life. I never realized how much this song would become my mantra and allow me to experience who I am.
My children are most important in my life. As I get older and watch the world change before my eyes I recognize the importance of leaving a legacy expressing our culture and making an impact in this life and future lives. S/O To my children Shaheim, Kahlid and Nasir
Much of the artwork that you see throughout the video is the work of two amazing Chicago artists Nicole Malcolm and Just Flo.
Shoutout to Dave Jeff of PHLI for hooking me up with the Hoodie and allowing us to film at his Hyde Park store.
Shoutout to Kmax of CTA radio Whpk 88.5 fm and to YP for gracing me with a cameo.
Shoutout to my manager Redell Drakeford and The Videographer Juan Martinez of LFT, you brothers did an AWESOME job.
Work to build a legacy we are a Mighty and Powerful people. Let Us Show the World what we can do. One Million Views!!

DON'T GIVE UP!!!
I will be 39 on January 7th. WOW! I feel extremely fortunate to be alive and living life. I have been truly blessed and I thank God for life.
Today has been kinda hard. I feel lonely and unaccomplished. I need to shake this feeling. I'm currently going through a divorce and I find myself in a positon of starting over at the age of 38.
I find myself missing the family unit I was a part of. I tell myself I could have been such a better father and husband. Why did I act the way that I did. I miss seeing my kids everyday. I miss having a wife.
I've been following this dream of being a legitamite hip hop artist for a while now and I can feel the prize right in front of me, but sometimes I feel like my family was sacrificed because of it. I feel like I'm getting to old for this. If I listened to outsiders I would have given up a long time ago
What allows me to stay positive is knowing that God has a plan for me and I have the victory already. Sometimes....sometimes...man.....it gets so hard. So I stay in the word. I keep the affirmations coming, because I am a creator linked directly to the source GOD.
The word is power. This is the reason I am writing this. I was speaking with a friend who posted some extremely personal information about herself online. I mentioned how she was very brave to do that, and how I would be hesitant to open up like that. She said she did it because many people may have experienced what she had and it would help others.
So I am here to say to ALL OF YOU if you feel discouraged, sad, defeated, depresssed that it is only temporary. DON'T GIVE UP!!! DON'T GIVE UP!!! DON'T GIVE UP!!!
Stay Focused, Positive and Productive

Who Are You?
This industry we call music is quite interesting. So many artists are out here with different goals and different agendas, however I know we are all connected by one common goal and that is to achieve the greatness that all of us are destined for.
A few weeks ago my friend Dj Kmax who hosts CTA radio at whpk.org was interviewing an artist by the name of Young Ghost. Kmax is a great interviewer and in most cases is able to form the type of questions that will allow the listening audience a glimpse into the lives and thoughts of the artist he is interviewing.
As I was listening to the interview it started to sound a lot like the Waka Flaka interview I saw on 106 and Park….. nonsensical and uninformed. My thought is that many artists have lost the ability to communicate honestly with the public and speak in catch phrases to describe absolutely nothing.
Kmax posed many thought provoking questions to no avail and all I learned about Young Ghost was that…..well…I didn’t learn anything about Young Ghost.
In my experience the greatest artists are those who allow you to gain some perspective into who they are beyond the flashing lights. They are able to connect through being human, because ultimately that is the tie that binds.
I mean really…I don’t want to hear how hard you are “grinding” and how often you “get it in” …or how you have “hot 16’s” all the time.
Who are you? What has helped to shape you as an artist? What is your story?
If you are an artist and you are reading this right now, keep in mind that someone is always paying attention. When the “opportunity” is given for you to speak to the World use it wisely, because there are a multitude of artists “getting it in”, but only one YOU, and this is what makes YOU great.
I love how Bilal poses this question on his latest release "Air Tights Revenge" with his song "Who Are You?"
That is such a Great song....Who are YOU?
.....Speaking of Great...Let me take a moment to thank all of the Dj's who have been showing my single GO! so much support. It just got added to thumbplay as a ringtone, and I am so excited about it. Do me a favor....buy the ringtone..you will not be disappointed...Now...GO!
Peace

A NEW SEASON!!!...Music Update....Life Lesson
Whats up world, it has been a while but I'm BACK. Many people have been asking me how the music is going. To answer the question I am currently working on The Ladies Love Mixtapes mixtape produced by TyeHill of The Pro-Duk-Tio_Nix. My single GO! has been placed on numerous mixtapes and has been generating a great buzz worldwide. Generally the music has been going great. I am extremely appreciative and grateful and expect Great, Marvelous and Amazing things to keep happening.
Evening Sessions has been AWESOME!! Just Flo and Uneq'ka have created a historic event and it truly is a Journey Into Art and Sound. Seriously...if you have not been to The Living Room to experience Evening Sessions you are missing out on a great event, and I am so proud to be a part of this.
After Evening Sessions last Friday...I went to a sunrise service of 63rd St beach with SoChiLiteTimes and The New Life Covenant Church. Being on the beach at 5 in the morning praising God and praying was powerful. Interestingly enough after it was over I felt like I had entered a New Season of Health, Wealth and Prosperity. I felt NEW!
.....Then the next day I get some served with some documents that totally deflated how I was feeling. I spent the entire day trying to fight any negative feelings of sadness, anger and jealousy that was trying to consume me.
One thing I am realizing is that I have to understand that nothing can keep me from my blessing. Nothing and no one will keep me from my family and in all truth ONLY GOD runs this and no matter what I Know THE BEST is on the horizon.
When I first started this blog...my focus was on creating an atmosphere that would maximize the blessings that would feed my spirit and allow me to be a true co-creator. I got away from that, and I recognize the difference. I must always remember that we have control over our experience. The words we choose and remembering that the past is in the past and that NOW is important time...because we create NOW!!
I can't front, I could feel myself feeling depressed and wanting an opportunity to change what I messed up. The frustration builds knowing that we cant go back and change anything. This is why NOW is so important.The action we take NOW affect our lives.
I find myself thinking about being in love and I miss that feeling. I miss the feeling of knowing someone cares about me and has my back, or the butterflies whenever I am around that person,knowing that we will build something AWESOME together. I want that feeling back....the only way it can happen is to Love myself first NOW!
I know I have been all over the place with this blog, but I really want those of you who take the time to read this blog to know that you are not alone. We all have these feelings of doubt and despair. However...we don't have to and should not live in that space.
Be grateful...be appreciative know that THE BEST IS HERE NOW! Adjust your thinking because you can...feed yourself with positive words..surround yourself with those who really care about you. KNOW that you have the POWER to change your circumstance.
It is A NEW SEASON!!! Our GREATNESS is realized NOW!!!
Stay Focused, Positive and Productive.

SXSW 2010 Precise @ The Light Bar Hustle Palooza ....and..NOSAS With Saul Williams and Precise March 27 @ The Kinetic Playground
SXSW 2010 was BANANAS!!!! Music was Everywhere. This was my first trip to SXSW. Everyone I asked about it told me if I had never been there before that it would be overwhelming.....They were right.
My initial excitement from this trip was because I got booked for Hustle Palooza. Shout Out to Hustle Simmons.....A week before we went down to Austin me and Dj Kmax mapped out our itinerary... the shows we were going to see and the parties we were going to and most importantly who was serving free drinks and food.... HA HA...we found em.
We hit the Fader Fort in Austin with Pugs Atomz and Simeon of The Prime Meridian we get our badges (the badges allowed us to come back and forth to The Fader Fort and drink free Southern Comfort(SOCO) and Budwiser)...we went back many times...lol..Not to mention the fact that The Fader Fort is where most of the major performances are held.
....Anyway we get our badges and hit the infamous 6th street. Austin really has an off beat vibe...the slogan is "Keep Austin Weird". For all intensive purposes its kinda weird. An Austin local told me Austin is considered weird because they are a Liberal State in the midst of Conservative Texas.
...6th street is where many of the bars are and most bands perform along this strip. When I say music is everywhere....I mean it is everywhere. Walking down the street is like jumping in and out of dimensions every five steps. You hear everything from Country Western to Hip Hop and you gravitate towards what you like. If you are really in tune it will take you a while just to get down one block.
The fact that the performances are live is really what makes this trip worth your while. You really get to see great performances. A few of my favorites were Cubic Zirconia, Dam Funk, Kid Sister, Ayah, Mic Terror and the DJ Set with Stones Throw.
I wanna take the time a tell you everything that happened, but over the course of four days I would be writing a book...so I will provide my top 5 SXSW Moments
#5. Hearing Cubic Zirconia Live for The first time.
#4. Watching Kid Sister and Blah Blah Blah perform and rep Chicago.
#3. Walking to Whole Foods with Nneka
#2. Getting a hug from Jean Grae....WOOOOO!!!...lol
#1. Ripping the stage at Hustle Palooza.
God is so GREAT...and this trip has cemented the fact that I am moving in the right direction. Follow your dream and you will fulfill your purpose. The movement is growing.....Check The performance at The Light Bar below......

March IS ON!!!
I can feel the universe lining up. So much has been happening. God has given us the gift of faith and the universe is available to all of us. I know this.
March has been and will continue to be a busy month for me."Saturday Night Pheature" with P1 at the Music Lounge in Logan Square kicked the month off. It was a great show and I felt myself go into a zone. I was truly in the moment, and it felt surreal.
**Praise Break**...The night of the "Saturday Night Pheature" I was driving down the Kennedy and heard something pop by my left tire and it started to shake vigorously. I told myself I would go do the show and drive home as carefully as possible. Nothing was going to stop me. I make it to the show and home safely. Sooooooo....I took my car to the mechanic and he looks at me and says.. "I'm surprised your breaks didn't go out"...My calibrator (whatever that is) was off and could have broken at any moment leaving me without breaks...but it didn't break. It should have but it didn't. God is AMAZING...and is truly a refuge for all of us! THANK YOU THANK YOU...I am so GRATEFUL!!!.....
Ok...Back to March...its a busy month so far...Im headed to Austin Texas for South By Southwest..(SXSW). Its one of the largest music festivals every year and I got booked for a show On March 20 @ The LightBar...I am so excited....
When I return from Austin...I will be performing at "A Night Of Sight and Sound" with Saul Williams, Lethal Poetry, Malik Yusef and Aja Monet at The Kinetic Playground..partial proceeds will go to Rock For Kids
The movement is GROWING and PROSPERING....My Album "It's On Me" is coming soon...MARCH ON!!!
Stay Focused, Positive and Productive
