What up People!

                                                                              
I have much to get off my chest! Call this my Bloggerview. Me having a conversation via the computer. I've been at it since August 2003! The Performance/(inspirational,raw,motivational,truth)-Speaking/Entertainment STAGE! August 2011 will be 8 years of me using the microphone to express myself in various ways. So that means in two years I will be HUGE (they say it takes 10 years to be a overnight success)! One of the recent projects I did last year was a short film documentary, "Son Of Hip Hop" with Uart students Marcus Waldron, Ken Davis, and Jacqueline Maddox.

"A short film showing how a kid learns about himself and his roots, through a mentor like relationship with a lifelong Hip Hop head."-Marcus Waldron

To be my first film, it was real cool displaying mentoring skills through Hip Hop and just art in general. It was a golden opportunity for Marquan (Tyrell) as well. He was a kid I knew personally that I introduced to the arts via film to show him life was more then just the city streets he lived in. There is a WHOLE WORLD out there waiting for you to conquer it! You just have to work hard and want it for yourself!

Tiffany Bacon & Ram

I was a featured poet last year on Tiffany Bacon's, "Whispers in the dark" radio show on 107.9 WEBSITE 107.9 WRNB F.M. as Ram the poet. That was a real cool experience for me. I worked hard for something like that to happen so seeing it actualized IS the dream! Tiffany is a cool, classy, beautiful, smart, down to earth Sistah in a league by herself. Her natural glow (energy) will brighten anyone's day! You can stay up-to-date with her @ TIFFANY BACON ONLINE !

Lavett B. & Ram

"Richard "King Ram" Ramson is a Spoken Word entertainer, he spits rhymes with the best and considers himself a Power Poet. Upon my first introduction to him I chose him as the first of my Philly Poets because of his engaging aesthetic, and his Poetic style and delivery similar to that of KRS -ONE and the Godfather of Hip Hop - Gil Scott Heron. His Words can make women weak in the knees with sexual overtones, Men feel empowered, and a people to be Inspired!"-Lavett B.
