Speaking of the Homeless

I've been purchasing the Streetsense newspaper for the homeless in D.C. over a year now and have made a very good acquaintance with Jeffery McNeil, a homeless man and vendor of the newspaper.

I think his article reflects a very refreshing and open perspective about the poor and homeless while revealing his own downfall and realization of promise for himself. His articles are the ones I read the most.

Checkout his article --> http://www.streetsense.org/2012/08/fightinghomelessness/

Def wanted to share. Be Encouraged.

Musiq Monday: Scratch that, Time to TURN the TABLE

"Don't Say Goodbye" feat. Big Pooh, Donny Goines, Raven Sorvino >> Rapper Big Pooh has still been on my radar and doing his thing wit this latest cut. His last album, Dirty Pretty Things was not bad at all I must say.


"Lost on Repeat" feat Lyric Jones and Esperanza Spalding >> I don't know who Lyric Jones exactly is but this joint is pretty hot ....and I am a HUGE fan of Esperanza. Her album, Junjo is GREAT!!! I jam to all the time to get through the work day or chill at home. A GREAT timeless authentic jazz album.

"Nine 2 Five" feat. The Slakadeliqs and Tingsek >> This from the infamously talented Canadian musician and producer, Slakah the Beatchild. Everything this brotha has touched musically has been great and the album from which the song is from doesn't fall short of this man's talent. Def support if you are willing and able. It is a "pay what you feel" EP. FEELIN IT!

The SHHO x Michael Millions - MICHAEL (Album) by MichaelMillions Showin' my homeboys from my hometown, Richmond VA, some love once again. Brother duo, Mike Millions and NameBrand created another banga. All production done by NameBrand. Def worth a listen.
