Wrote this song about Muhammed Ali. The greatest,...
Ali.
flutter like a butterfly. sting like a bumble. missiles from the blind side. and you stumble.
stand tall. talk truth. and follow me.
because the greatest only good, when your hands writing history.
his name was brother Ali and he talk fast, and his feet quicker than a thunderclap. and his beat poetry an Everlast blast to your face from a storied past.
stand tall. talk truth. and follow me.

and it moves past you.
as the weight of the 9-5 leaves its footprints all over your ambition. as your...

Speaking of originality.
The never-before-been-conceived. A faint whim in the back of not-yet-jaded minds. A faint wind blow Chicago smoke over Kingston mines. The essence of an underground, over-land movement. Stealing roots of thought from the deepest recesses of youthful enthusiasm. Watering them.
I speak of originality. I speak of truth. I will reblog/retweet/mistreat no longer - except to give life to...

been spending so much time working on the band’s tumblr (it’s basically like a website), that i’ve been ignoring this one.
i’ll be back soon. for now, just download this tune for free. i promise (i hope) you’ll like it.

First night at Tres was solid. We got mad comfortable in that tiny little cage. Groovin reggae steps everywhere. Infectious good times.
Thanks to Spread for having us out. Very cool, progressive jam vibe. They throw a great party, and we were pumped to be a part of it.
See you at Sidetracks tonight.

“I’m broke between the homeless and the proud. A couple good time horns...”
– Last Sunday (August 29th) marked the 5-year anniversary of the Katrina disaster. Wind, rain, and nature ripped apart one of the most soulful cities on earth. I heard Dr. John talk of the progress that’s being made on Sunday. It was extremely inspirational. Respect tradition. Be original. Renew...

"cannonballs" (a dub track.)
a tryst, one twist then turn around. splinter wooden boards and fall. into the floor beside your feet. a cannonball fly strong.
and this destruction, like a bomb. enticing me to come real close. and suffocate inside the smoke. disaster ruin hope.
you paint the sky with bullets. i fight back with cannonballs. it’s violent in the sun when my love reign.
so light it up with me tonight. find...

still i’m the one…

The sun just was not shining. Clouds was laughing too. I was looking for a cure, some junkyard broken groove. No birds flew off my shoulder. Overwhelming underneath. My torn up head then I fix it with my four and twenty
