  • Episode 13 | Slum Village Raised A Child

    Journeying Through This Beautiful Process That We Call Life, I Picked Up On A Key Personal Motto, Or Life Principle, If You Will - From The Qu'ran, Via The Prophet Willie Da Kid, I Learned That, "You Want It For Your Brothers, Like You Want It For Yourself, Otherwise You Don't Believe" - When I Look At The Gene Pool From Whence I Came, It's Easier To Trace My Predisposition To Give, All The Way Back To My Ancestors, I'm A Born Giver... When You're A Giver, Living In A World Overridden With Dire Need, It's Easy To Become Disillusioned With The Status Quo; You Often Find Yourself Giving That Which You May Grow To Lack, Eventually, Due To A Shortage Of Givers, Living Their Best Giving Lives, Allowing You To Be Replenished, As Well; This Complex Conundrum, Almost Led To Me Losing Sight Of My Purpose, And Life Mission, I Became Suicidal, Because I Felt Like People Had Stolen Away All I Had To Give, I Was Watching My Intellectual Property Being Used To Profit Other People, While I Could Barely Keep The Lights On, Or Help My Mother Out, When She Needed Me Most.


    "Vengeance Is Mine, Sayeth The Lord...", In My Deliverance, I Was Awoken To A Peace That I Never Knew I Could Have Again - Folks Don't Steal Something, That They Already Have - All Those Who Tried To Rob Me Of My Assets, Joy, Ideas, Faith, And Drive, Are Actually Broken Ass People, Who Couldn't Reach Those Heights, So They Tried To Bring Me Down To Their Level... Oksalayo, I Forgive You, I Truly Understand Now, That You Don't Know No Better - Giving, And Creating, Is What I Do Best, Others A Better At Just Taking, Or Stealing, And That Shouldn't Stop Me From Doing My Job... Just Because Folks Are Out There Creating Diseases, It Doesn't Mean Scientists Have To Stop Trying To Find Cures. We Move, In Faith.


    I've Been Hurt, As A Result Of Sharing, Caring, And Working Hard To Help Improve People's Situation's, On Both Personal, And Professional Fronts, I've Had To Take Losses, As A Result Of Investing My All Into People, Their Purposes, And Their Idea's - I Almost Stopped Fighting To Live, As A Result Of That Pain - I Lost Money, I Lost Businesses, I Lost Time, I Fell Into Crippling Debt, And Even Had To Move Back Home, Due To Some "Bad" Investments, In People - "For Even In Defeat, There's A Valuable Lesson Learned, So That Even's It Up For Me...", Those Experiences, Irregardless Of How Excruciatingly Painful They Were, Helped Propel Me To Where I Was Destined To Be, So In A Sense, I Helped Myself, While I Thought I Was Just Tryna Help My Guys... That's God For You, Always Thinking Decades Ahead, While We Stress About Often Inconsequential Things, That Only Serve To Distract Us, From Enjoying Our Personal, And Collective Life Journeys.


    May All Your Pain, Be Champagne, As We Enjoy Our Reign, Dancing In The Rain.


    Jah Bless You!

  • Episode 12 | Made It Via Juta Street

    There Comes A Time, In All Of Our Lives, When Reflection, And Introspection Become Keys To Unlocking Our Most Teachable Lessons - For Me, Juta Street Was The Conduit Through Which I Was Allowed More Scope To Delve Deeper Into The Heart Of Matters, And Unravel The Latent Truth, That Lay Embedded Therein - As We Enter A New Cultural Revolution, In My Hometown, Pitori Mahlanyeng, I've Had The Pleasure Of Tapping Into Many Of Those Experiences, As A Means Of Helping To Facilitate A More Seamless Transition, From Pitori Being The "Second Cousin" Of Mzansi Hip-Hop Culture, Into Us Establishing Ourselves, As A Key Contributor, And A Mainstay In The Culture As A Whole, Both Continentally, And Globally.


    My Mission Remains Simple, To Inspire, Before I Expire... The Lessons I Learned, Having To Make It Via Juta Street, Are Lessons That I'm Using To Redefine The Landscape Of My City, Province, Country, Continent, Eventually, The Globe; Job Creation Is A Hot Topic In Our Society Today, For A Reason, Far Too Many Talent Goes Undeveloped, Due To A Lack Of Infrastructure, And Care For The Arts; I Will Keep Working To Be The Change That I Seek To See, And I Pray You Do Too.


    Jah Bless Your Hustle... Made It Via Juta Street, Shawty's On A Roll!

  • Episode 11 | Hurt People, Hurt People

    Having Taken Some Time Out To Reflect On The Role/s Played By Men, And Myself In Particular, As It Relates To The Worsening Relationship Between Black Men, And Black Women In Our Country; I Can't Run From The Latent Truth, There Was A War Waged On Black Families, Since The Dawn Of Slavery, A War That Was Designed To Keep US Broken, And Mentally Weak, Until Today; When You Study The History Of The Techniques Used To Keep Us Enslaved On The Plantations, You Can See How They Tried To Write Rape, Murder, And Abuse Into Our History, By Handing That Evil Down Our Genealogical Ancestry, As If We Have Always Lived, And Behaved In Such A Manor.


    It Pains Me To Watch How My Brothers, Fathers, Grandfathers, And I, Have Hurt Our Sisters, Mothers, And Grandmothers, Emotionally, Physically, Fiscally, And Spiritually; Knowing The History Of Abuse, Which We Come From, Its Not Hard To Fathom How We Got To This Dire Situation; Hurt People. Hurt People, And That's Just That... We Can Only Become A Part Of The Solution, When We Learn To Use Our Hurt To Heal People, And Help Eradicate The All Too Evident Problems.


    I Pray For A Day, Where Black People Everywhere, Can Live As The Kings, And Queens That We Are.


    It's About Time We Reached Uhuru!

  • Episode 10 | Momma Loves Me...

    A Mother's Love, Is Something Truly Special... My Relationship With Mom'Dukes Hasn't Always Been Roses, And Sunshine; We Have Had To Battle Through A Lot Of Life Drama, Trauma, And Losses, Both Together, And Individually; My Mother's Faith, Strength, And Drove, Are Some Of The Key's I've Used To Unlock A New Level Of Me, Despite The Circumstances.



    As I Embark On This New Chapter Of My Life; Where I'm Now Able To Begin Paying Her Back/Forward For The Great Gifts She's Allowed Me To Receive, Through Her Love, Sacrifices, And Work; I Can Now Fully Begin To Comprehend How Such Love Can Exist, And Is Worthy Of Being Praised.



    "Single-Mother's, Action Figures, What We Figured Out.../
    Missing Figures, And Our Father's, Watchu Talking 'Bout?/
    Navigated Repossessions, Jesus Made A Route.../
    We Just Tryna Be The Leaders, That Read About!/"



    For All My Single Mother's Grinding To Make It Work, And All The Seeds Of Single Mom's In The City (Word To Anna Faris), Jah Bless You!

  • Episode 9 | The Beautyful Onez, Were Born AfriCan

    Xenophobia, Among Africans, Should Be An Oxymoron, At Best... When We Delve Into The History Of Oppressive Systems, And Their Sole Purpose, To Divide, And Conquer, We Cannot Understate The Adverse Effects Of Colonialism, On The Mentality, Development, And Future Growth Of Africa As A Whole - Simply Put, They've Fucked Us Up So Much, That We Fight Among Each-Other, While They Continue To Fuck Us Up Some More - We Can Restore Africa Back To Her Rightful Place, The Way She Was Before They Raided Her, For Her Minerals, People, Land, And Wildlife, If Only We Practiced What We Preached, While We Were Fighting For Our Own Liberation.


    South Africa, Is One Of The Last Africa States To Gain Independence From Their Colonial Masters; Our Freedom Babies Aren't Even 30 Years Old Yet, And Our Nation Remains The Benefactor Of That Late Changing In Guard; Mzansi Is A Developed Nation, With Developing Nation Problems, That Boil Down To Maladministration, Corruption, And All The Vicarious Children Of The Worst Disease Brought To Our Shores By The Colonialist, Poverty... Our Nation Is In Far Better Overall Stead, When Compared To Some Of Our African Neighbors, Our Nation Is So Well Of In That Regard, That It Took Over A Decade For Us To Fully Spot The Level Of Fiscal Looting Happening Within All Levels Of Our Governing Structures; Many Of Our Neighboring Countries Have Been Stripped Bare Of Their Assets, From The White Colonizers, Onto The Black House Niggers, They've Plundered, Murdered, And Abuse Us As A People; Where, How, And What Violence Against Each-Other Fits In This Puzzle, You Will Have To Decipher For Yourself... The Reality Is Simple We, As Africans, Don't Benefit From War In Africa, Especially When Africans, Are Fighting Against Africans, But We Can However Benefit, From Africans Banding Together, To Ensure That Africa, For Africa, By Africa, Becomes A Reality, In Our Lifetime.

  • Episode 8 | Sunday School Drop-Out

    There Are So Many Ways To Tackle This Point, Yet Few Of Them Will Lead Us To Winning The Ball Back Successfully - Religion, As Constructed By Mankind, Has Led To More Souls Being Lost, Than Found - Everywhere We Look Today, The Church Is Being Used By People, To Meet Their Own Personal, And Often Corrupted Needs. It’s Sad To See How Truth, Can Be Used To Perpetuate Lies, When The Lies Suit The Interests Of Those Who Tell Them Best.


    We Can't Run From It Any Longer, As A Believer, Who Grew Up Spending My Formative Year's In More "Traditional Black" Churches, And Then Moved To The "White Churches" Of The 'Burbs In My Latter Pre-Teenage Years, I Can Speak With Some Authority, As To How Religion Has Got Us Dumbfounded, And Befuddled, As A People... The Doctrine Taught In Most Churches Today, Is Much Akin To The History Being Taught In Our School's, It Too Retains A Rather Heavy Colonial Undertone, That Makes It A Point To Undermine Traditional African Beliefs, And Religious Practices That Predated Many Of The Philosophers Whose Works We Ascribe To Today, Even When Our Traditional African Traditions, Beliefs, And Practices Have Already Been Referenced As Good / Righteous, In The Universal Book/s Of God.


    Selective Scripture Dissemination, Has Turned Β Many Of Our People Off From Having An Actual Relationship With Their Higher Power; Our People Can Often Remain Lost, Shunning A Relationship With God, While Also Avoiding A Connection To Their Ancestors As Well, Which Leaves Us Open To Being Victimized By The Lies They Tell Us Through The Media; We Have To Bridge That Gap, Educate Ourselves On The True Gospel Of God, And Reconnect With Our Ancestors, If We Are To Teach Our Kids Anything Worth Learning, And Actually Afford Them An Optimal Shot At Living Fully, In A World That Offers So Muc Promise, To Those Who Hold On To The Promises On The Most High.



    I'm Still Working On It, And I Pray You Are Too; Our Faith, As It Was Designed, Is More Than Sufficient To Lead Our People Back To Our Rightful Place, As True Kings & Queens, In Our Own Kingdom's; For The Salvation Of God's Children, Everywhere, We Continue To Pray. πŸ’š

  • Episode 7 | Ubuntu Tax Liens

    Affording Others The Opportunity Cost That Comes With The Act Of Caring, Is Something We Should All Thrive To Do More Often - In A Society Filled With Large-Scale Unprecedented Levels Of Fiscal Mismanagement, Societal Neglect, Physical Abuse, Generational Poverty, Systematic Racism, And Overall Oppression In All Shapes, Flavours, And Packaging That Evil Comes In, We Can't Afford Not To Give A Damn - I've Grown To Learn, Through My Life Experiences; That Giving Is Relative To What's Being Asked Of You To Give, And What You Care To Ask Of Other's, Or Open Up For Them To Ask Of You...


    I've Had The Pleasure Of Knowing Some Amazing Spiritual Beings, Born With Brilliant Minds, And Talents That Could Change The World - Yet, For Whatever Personal Reason, They Found Themselves Homeless, And Fighting To Maintain A Daily Living, Against The Odds, While Living On The Streets - Knowing All That We Face, And Come From As A People, It's Hard For Some To Fathom How One Rises From Having Less Than Nothing, Living Everyday With Your Hopes Stuck In A Dark Place, And Somehow Manage To Ascend Into Your Highest Self, With All The Provisions You Need / Require, To Fulfill Your Life's Purpose... But When You're From The Places That We Come From, These Are Our Stories, These Are Our Realities, These Are Our People; Giving Back, Is Paying Forward That Which Even We Wish We Could / Could've Receive/d When We Were / Are Down On Our Luck; We Get To Give Back, As A Means Of Paying The Blessings Forward, That's How We Play The Game Forward.

    "Tryna Get, To Give Back;
    Call It Blessed Stress.../
    Do They Still Show Concern,
    Over How We Dress?/
    Making Profits Off My Thoughts;
    But I'm Spending Less!/
    Cos Our Shopping Added Value,
    To Ubuntu Tax.../"

  • Episode 5 | What's In The Bag?

    "The Bag Is Not The Destination, It's A Means To Facilitate Your Way Forward... The Bag Is A Vehicle." - Mallele Chidi PeTje III


    Writing "UnPacking The Bag", Has Been A Very Therapeutic Process For Me Personally; I've Grown A Keener Understanding Of How The Bag Is Indeed A Seed, And Not The Fruit It’s Been Made Out To Be For So Long; Thanks To A Sermon From Bishop T.D. Jakes, Some Coffee Dates With God, And A Few Session's With The OGs, I've Been Able To See Into The Bag, And Takeaway Some Food For Thought...

    May You Get To The Bag, And Enjoy The Fruit, While Saving Some Seeds For The Next Harvest. πŸ’š

    Jah Bless. πŸ™πŸΎ

    To All My Momma's Babies, May Our Mothers Live To See Us Be The Men We Were Born To Be. πŸ™πŸΎ


    Our Personal, And Communal Generational Plights May Seem Minuscule, Self-Caused, Or Even Inconsequential To Some, But That Doesn't Make Them Any Less Valid, Or Worthy Of Getting Worked Up Over, To The Point Where We Feel A Need To Get Involved, And To Try Impact The Level Of Societal Changes That We Seek To See; The Current Somber, Yet Revolutionary Eye-Opening Global Undertones Of Citizen Unrest, Mixed In With A Global Spiritual Awakening, Has Coincided With Personal, Communal, Spiritual, And Professional Realignments, For Many Of Us Lately... A Much Welcomed Reality, That Can Only Lead To Us Progressing As A People, In The Long Run. From The Creators, Onto The End-Consumers, And The Equity Investing Partners In Between, Everybody Has Now Grown Exceedingly Aware Of The Need For More Accountability; Both Individually, And Collectively; As It Pertains To Redressing The Issues Of The Past, And How They Affect People Today, While Working To Build A Brighter, More Inclusive Society. ✊🏾


    It's Time For Change, We Are Watching A Generation Of Young Men Rise Up, To Fill Those Essential Voids, That Many Of Our Fathers Couldn't / Wouldn't Fully Fill, For Whatever Reason, Self Caused, Or Apartheid Induced... Momma's Babies Are Growing Up, The Kids Are Coming Into Their Own, At The Right Time, Perfectly Primed To Take Over The Reigns, And Ensure That Our Mothers Can Fully Afford The Opportunity Cost They Deserve, To Truly Live, And Freely Experience Lifeβ€˜s Beauty, Before It Comes Time For Them To Leave, And Live In Peace Above.


    May Jah Continue To Bless Us All! πŸ’š
