Intro
Why did I write this book?
As a poet/ rapper I have been performing at open mic events, corner ciphers, and even appeared as the featured artist at a few shows since 2004. I have always been an artist who does it for the love of art. My music was usually given away for free because it was for the people. My art is not for some record exec to alter, mass produce, sell, and reap the benefits of. The fans of my music have loved the giveaways but often ask this question. How can I support you and your art for sustainability? For years I would respond that enjoying my art was the best way. While the sentiment remains true, many fans felt that the need to donate funds to my studio time etc. To me, those who gave financial support were paying for what everyone got free and I had to find a way to change that. For these reasons, I've decided to compile this poetry book as a relatively inexpensive way to support my art with a tangible reimbursement. This book is simply a way to say thank you for all the love you have shown and continue to show. Love & Light to you all!
Liner Notes: “Life is a gamble, oh oh baby, where you win or lose”- Marvin Gaye. Nothing like a little Marvin Gaye to set the tone of the mixtape. Simple, yet soulful. Shout out to Kyle (Freequensee) for announcing the project.
RED
Red
is the color of blood
The color of love
Red is the color of the
hair on my bud
Red is the color of joy
Red is passion
Red is
the color of the bloods when they're flaggin
Red is the color of
hearts
The color of roses
Red is the sea that's divided by
Moses
Red is the color of danger
Red is the laser
Infrared
at the top of my banger
Red is the color of anger
The color of
fire
Red is your face when we know you're a liar
Red is the
color of lipstick
The dress on my mistress
Who came from the
red light district
Red is the color of her bones cuz she
lightskin
Red is the nose of this pitbull I'm fighting
Red
means stop
The opposite of green lights
Red be my eyes while
I'm smokin on my weed pipe
Liner Notes: RED came to me in a dream. A spirit guide led me on a journey to connect the red dots so to speak. RED went from a dream to reality and became the first part of the color theme of the mixtape.
