Do it with Grace...

So many things we do, we direct towards humans. We direct negativity towards others because of something that was done to us... Notice that we tend to be a transfer of energy. When things happen to us good or bad, the next people we interact with receive that same energy.

Be careful and learn to act with Grace... Use God's influence in your life to drive your every action. Just refresh your thoughts and renew the vibes of those around you.

Remember you could be the FIRST or LAST possible person someone interacts with.

Act with Grace! May it be blessed!

Hip Hop

What defines Music?

Is it the feeling you get while listening? Is it the artist who is delivering the music? or is it the message of the song? For many we get so lost in wanting to conform to a TEAM that we support what is out... or we support ANYTHING certain musicians put out in order to feel like we are a part of something.

For instance, Today's RAP music is not what HIP-HOP was originally known for... in fact many musicians can not differentiate the two...

Hip-Hop originated from the troubled life of the urban communities, and was a form of release. A way to express themselves without causing damage throughout the neighborhood.

The 4 areas of the hip-hop culture were...

Emceeing also said MC'ing

Break Dancing

Graffiti aka Tagging

and DJ'ing

These 4 art forms have their own individual meanings, and they also serve as a friendly battleground for competitors to go against their competitors.

So since we have determined where Hip-Hop originated, where is Hip-Hop today? Life is so fast-paced, and many just want to stake their claims. Brag about how much money they have, or how many cars they own. Have we lost the purpose of enriching the souls of our listeners?

Just food for thought... I breathe music, I live it, I love it! Every aspect of what I do is to build my passion for this.

Reading on 'Johnny Cupcakes' recently I realized he also had the same drive... A nonstop drive to succeed. I have a nonstop drive to enlighten those around me, as well as be successful in anything music related. I am just blessed to notice every step along the way.

#MOK Does your daily ending, complete your beginning?

How many mornings do you wake up and feel as if you have a purpose? And how many of those days do you go to sleep feeling as if you accomplished the purpose of the day? Many times we get so caught up in the past and the future that we ignore the tasks right in front of us. Try not to forget the small things that you feel you MUST do.

Ex: if you have a thought to call a family member or visit an old friend. ACT on it...

sometimes we dont understand that God is speaking to us... He knows a lot of things we dont. Your presence could change someone's entire day...

Remember you're blessed when you are blessing others.

Welcome to 2013

Welcome New and previous followers of this blog. I want to welcome you all to 2013. Lets start the New Year off with positivity. I wanted to give a brief re-introduction to why I created this blog. This blog was created to bring positivity and deep intellectual thought into the world of the followers. Many of us are exposed to so much negativity; at times we forget to acknowledge the positive things around us. Not to mention, I will also expose you to music that I have created, and/or random facts that I have came across in my travels on the Internet.

Life is short and many of us forget to stop and smell the roses. So as we drift off into this year, lets start on a good foot. For those who aren’t familiar with me, I am None illa. I am a hip-hop musician who focuses on daily improvement, not only musically but also in other various aspects of life. Currently pursuing my Bachelor’s of Science in Music Business, and frequently networking with other musically involved people to develop and craft mind-blowing music for the fans to enjoy. I hope that along the way not only do you learn, but that this blog becomes your breath of fresh air.

Welcome to 2013, and the beginning of growth… #Blessed... also keep an eye out for #MOK my Moments of Knowledge... I am here to inspire... Feel free to tag along on this Journey
