- I am Asani. It means rebellious. I am a brotha of peace rebelling against the tide of ignorance by enlightening my people stand up and reclaim their originality from what the media wants them to be. Although most of the time this message falls upon def ears, but as long as I can inspire one they will inspire others so the consciousness of the community will continue.
I'm currently going through a transition within myself. For awhile I didn't know who I was. Also recovering my self esteem from a long relationship that ended badly for me. So I was lost within this universe I call a mind searching for my answer. I still haven't found it. but it's coming.
So stay tuned for any changes you see in me.
I'm starting my baby locs in 2 weeks. My mantra is that hair is a physical manifestation of my spiritual growth and my journey to find and both Love myself.
What can i say.... well music is Still my life. To me sound and originality is the key. If you wanna know more about me.. ASK!! Or just hit me up with a message in my inbox. To all those who've worried and prayed for me during my "down" time Thank you. I felt the love.
Peace & Blessings
Heres My favorite poem. It's from Love Rain the coffee shop mix.
{Mos Def}
I stretched my arms towards the sky like blades of tall grass
The sun beat between my shoulders like carnival drums
I sat still in hopes that it would help my wings grow
So then I could really be fly
And then she arrived
Like day break inside a railway tunnel
Like the new moon, like a diamond in the mines
Like high noon to a drunkard, sudden
She made my heart beat in a now-now time signature
Her skinny canvas for ultraviolet brushstrokes
She was the sun's painting
She was a deep cognac color
Her eyes sparkled like lights along the new city
She lips pursed as if her breath was too sweet
And full for her mouth to hold
I said, "You are the beautiful, distress of mathematics."
I said, "For you, I would peel open the clouds like new fruit
And give you lightning and thunder as a dowry
I would make the sky shed all of it's stars like rain
And I would clasp the constellations across your waist
And I would make the heavens your cape
And they would be pleased to cover you
They would be pleased to cover you
May I please, cover you, please"
My Interests include introducing people to new music, Practicing on my guitar, playing my guitar, writing songs, writing poetry,watching anime,I LOVE chilling my friends and family(Especially u.neek), Going to cafes and lounges, open mic nights, and meeting new people. I love To Sing, and have Jam sessions.
I listen to A LOT(!!!!) of NeoSoul grooves. Alot of hip hop, all styles of rock, classical, vocal jazz,smooth jazz, gospel, electronica, and house music. Actually anything that inspires to the point of an eargasm.

"Rebirth"
I look up for a message from the clouds...like Those esoteric ones that stand out in the crowd. Those who's auras are so unique even before their open mic night each week. Those lyrically chosen ones that bless the mic when they speak, having you think...Dayum that's deep.
So as I look upon this still cloud refusing to bowdown to the wind, It kinda reminds me of the struggle that I was in. Wanting to be next to those considered my educational and musical kin. But always defined as the outsider… Continue

I actually have only performed in Memphis and at MTSU events. I've been trying to find into some cool spoken word spots in Nashville though. Do you know of any?

Kamaria7 said… - Memphis generally has a lot more going on under the radar. It's not easy to find sometimes. You have to stay plugged in. As I know something, I'll let you know. One thing, be sure to sign up on Neosoulville.com and check it often for stuff to do. What's new with you? I loved the poem, by the way.
