Dear Lord, I acknowledge that where I’m not able You are. I realise that in order for me to move up I need to let go and let You take control. In selflessness I praise your name for always taking me through dark times and for the blessings You constantly send me although most of the time I don’t deserve them. I pray for strength to not give up, I pray that instead of getting lost in myself I become able to get lost in Your word. I open my heart and soul to You and pray You have your way with me. Amen.

    I sent this prayer to a friend a little while ago. It has now become SO relevant to me. Grateful nonetheless.

    #YoungLondon - 3 Day Countdown

    If you’re on Twitter and haven’t seen #YoungLondon on your timeline at least once then I question your street cred (sorry!?)

    Brought to you by Entertainment Cartel and One In A Billion Entertainment Young London is all about showcasing the best emerging talent from the young people of London for the young people of London. It’s all about merging different sounds from afrobeats to neo soul to not only entertain but to also influence the sense of community and support for the people performing!

    Not saying it just because the team are friends of mine but you do not want to miss it! I’ve heard that the performers on the night are truly going to blow the audience away and having been to all the previous shows I know full well how great of a show the team put on!

    Is that details I hear you asking for? Look at the flyer below for all the information.

    So Sunday 29th April I’ll see you at XOYO for #YoungLondon yeah? Perfect :)

    Musiq Soulchild - Back To Where

    Since I bought this album I’ve always said that it isn’t his best album, HOWEVER, it has most certain grown on me! This song in particular is such a vibe! I need to see this dude live asap!

    Shambles

    My page looks such a mess right about now! My apologies! I keep meaning to show the blog some TLC…then I look at my to do list and that becomes a myth! I will post some new stuff…EVENTUALLY! To be fair, my drafts are full of stuff…I guess it’s just about finding the right time? (Whatever that is!)

    Currently jumping between 3 email account tabs, a few Word/Excel documents as well as the Heat vs Celtics game (I’m SO out of touch! Haven’t watched a game in a VERY long time - although I caught the Metta World Peace incident…he needs to control his erractic behavior…7 games out without pay, was it really worth it?) But back to the point - I’m hella tired, these all-nighters are a killer! My apologies to anyone I snap at tomorrow!

    Life is good! Stressful! But real good!

    Favourite picture at the moment - me and my beautiful friend Femi at Mr Randel’s 21st birthday dinner - that was a brilliant night!

    Love, peace and hair grease :)

    What makes this question interesting is the metaphoric formula it utilizes rather than wording it like your average question, i.e. What’s happening in the streets that’s making crime grow at alarming rates?

    One of the battles we face in society today is getting young people’s…

    Kony Who? A #Kony2012 debate hosted by @Remel_London

    Two weeks ago myself and 3 other people were asked to take part in a debate regarding Kony2012 and as a true believer of what Invisible Children are doing I couldn’t say no.

    The video is a great watch with some interesting views! Certainly worth watching! I’d love to hear what you guys think about it so definitely let me know! S/o to Remel, Sam, Suli and Mika for their opinions! Wise people!

    Joey BADA$$ x Capital STEEZ - Survival Tactics

    So I was casually browsing the net on Saturday night and came across this gem of a song! Although he’s only 17 Mr Joey BadA$$ has got a lot to say along with Capital Steez and I love that it’s far from nonsense! I’m expecting some real good things to come from these guys and the Pro Era team!

    If you’re a fan of that old skool New York hip hop sound then I reckon you’ll love this! In my opinion it’s a vibe upon vibe!

    Ayah Marar - Mind Controller Official Video

    This is the debut single from the lovely Ayah Marar! Anyone who follows my blog knows I’ve had the honour of working with her on two other shoots - although I wasn’t apart of this one dare I say this is my favourite in terms of end product!?

    As the youtube description explains this video is simple - no big effects or anything but yet it looks amazing! Absolutely loving the black and white look on the bike!

    The beat on this also makes me want to do everything from the butterfly to the bogle…even a little whine!

    Watch out for this chick! Hussle Girl Records do not play!
