  • Zodiac Clash: Astrology Inspired Rap
    May 15 2024

    Welcome to the premiere episode of this new subseries dedicated to dissecting intricate poetic verses written by some of the talented artists I know and have had the opportunity to record and produce. In this debut, I'm taking a deep dive into one of my own verses—a heartfelt tribute to my biological mother and Mother Earth, viewed through the lens of both her son, as well as the sun itself.

    I'll be exploring the astrological connection between us, as my fiery Leo energy collides with my mother's solid Taurus nature, forming what's known in astrology as a "square" relationship. Through the rhythm and rhyme of my lyrics, I blend the masculine and feminine energies, celebrating the unique bond shared between a mother and her son.

    This episode marks the beginning of a new series titled 'Expressing The Thoughts,' a passion project I've been eager to share with you all. Crafting poetry, especially in the form of rap, requires dedication and creativity, and I'm thrilled to finally unveil this aspect of my artistry.

    I hope you'll enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed creating it. And as always, thank you for your ongoing support—it means the world to me!

Join me on another journey down the rabbit whole as we are lead by the light and knowledge that has long been hidden and demonized in order to keep you from KNOWING. And thanks again for your continued support!
