BEAT ROCK

My ading is all growed up

Just recently went to the Beat Rock Store (haven't been there since the opening) Check em out if your in the Long Beach area, and if your around on the 25th you mos def. don't wanna miss this show...art and clothes and good music what more could i ask for :)

living in a crazy world

I decided on a whim to spend about 14 hours on the road in about 36 hours, i drove up to Oakland Saturday dropped of my ading (lil sis) and got a moment with one of my favorite people in this universe who inspires me tremendously and then went met up with dj clos to begin and work on music projects together then went to the youth speaks show and was truly inspired as always by the immense talent of the young folks spitting on stage...

As I was driving thru the neighborhoods that were once so familiar and everyday and now are only reachable when I take a road trip home, I admired my community. Oakland is where my heart is and Oakland needs love. There is so much good in this town but the news of course paints it different...

"BUT DON'T LET THE NEWS TELL IT THEY JUST WANT TO (call it a jungle) AND SELL YOU SUNSCREEN AND INSECT REPELLENT"

My city My Hood My Town, I still have faith that peace can be achieved even after seeing people shoot each other even after recent acts that make it seem like we are in a civil war, don't sleep on the people of Oakland, we are gifted and lets come together and paint peace in these streets, and be green, like we been but just with a greater state of consciousness. This is for Oakland and any community around the world labeled as bad or impoverished or ghetto, cause it may have some horribleness but the people are not horrible, the people ---are gonna change the world!

this knocked on my door and touched my soul

shout out to doorknockers for posting this. Tracey Rose and all the interviews. I'm letting this soak in, i would like to think this video touches all people and makes everyone men women of all shades wanna speak on this--->

Cops hate Kids...

First off i gotta say that im not trying to encourage any type of hate or generalize in anyway, this is a round table discussion which i hope anyone with a heart wants to speak on, I LOOOOVE this joint. check out the new joint from the homie Baba Zumbi : 'Cops hate Kidz' and please read the message from Steve himself.


He is really speaking on it, I cant get down with the messages some of my sisters have been spittn saying that "they happy the pig died" that is from a place of anger (on the some real ish) but that anger has led to hatred. Although I complety understand where that mentality is coming from thanks to a mentor who I am honored to call a sister, I am not tryna follow on that path of hatred. However instead of bashing police who mos. def abuse there power cause we could do that all day and not see change, lets make a plan of action. We all know that police kill and beat and arrest our bruh bruhs on some stupid shit, instead of going dumb and not doing nothing bout it lets empower ourselves to come at it with a plan to solve not perpetuate. These are my thoughts without process but give me a few and I will have a plan of action to make moves and a soundtrack to spin us in the right direction. So lets honor all live lost espacially the ones that didn't get a bill board but served there communities, to clarify Im talking about the Oscar Grants who have not been brought to light, lets let them shine and rise in peace, as we paint peace in these streets!!!!

"haters been @round since Jesus was a boy"...

...thats so something that Jenn would say haha(Disclaimer: this is a wrenagade ramble stick wit me or not but im keep grinding till i make it to the top the top to me its not the pockets full but the ability to support me familia)

I have never liked to be surrounded by haters, if you seem like a hater and you aint fam I will probably cut you out my life, have you ever noticed how falseness or haterishness can rub off on a person, this is why I love to surround myself with fly mamas quick to complement a stranger on the street. I just got back from the bay, my life is moving at a fast pace but things are mos def. on the up. If you know me you know i dont sleep, which is bout to change, I gotta take care of me so i can take care of we, and I am really letting go of any limiting hater mentality. In order to be the change we wish to see, we have to let go of all those mechanisms that but things in boxes which ultimately limit space to feel free. I will never sacrifice my morals but I aint gon hate on you for doing you even if I disagree with you message. For the sake of my homeland my community and the moment I am apart of, I am working on letting hatred go, whether it be towards the police, or people that have done me dirty, or even the girl in the mirror, it dueces to negativity and painting peace till i cant paint no more.

One Love!


I used to hate on Lil Wayne for some of his lyrics but ima stop I cant say nothing bad bout this song, and it got me through a hard day here ya go...

My Life feat Lil Wayne OFFICIAL Music Video - The Game

And I`m grindin` till I`m tired
They say you ain`t grindin` till you tired
So I`m grindin` with my eyes wide
Looking to find, a way through the day, a life of the night
Dear Lord you`ve done took so many of my people but I`m just wonderin` why

peep in the video the name Sean Bell
who was wrongfully fatally shot by
the police, shown the picture above with

his beautiful family,
protest police
brutality and paint peace in these
streets from the murder dubs to new orleans!

Rise in Peace, All the people who have lost there lives to a bullet before there time, they will live on. Justice for Oscar Grant, for Gary King for Sean Bell for all those taken by the police, question why some are at risk just for being who they are, we need police that think like us, we need leaders who actually carry out the keeping of peace!!!!!
