The Introduction
I am an MC by choice of creative expression. Rap is not the only form of intellectual property I create, but it is my favorite.
I created this prompt and the post for my subscribers and fans of my music to get to know me better as a person. I read in a marketing manual that if you wish to build a customer base, it works better when people feel like they know you.
In today’s state of musical entertainment, it is more focused on the spectacle Hip Hop can be in the wrong hands. Artist air their dirty laundry for the world for the sake of the view or stream.
The goal behind these posts is for the following reasons:
The first reason is to leave a record for my children that they can access anytime they need or want to feel their father’s energy.
And the second is my version of Love and Hip Hop Kinfolk Wellin Edition. I hope to bridge the gap between you, the listeners and consumers of my musical content, and myself, the creator.
As I continue to make these posts in the future, you will begin to feel like you are getting to know me better as an artist.
What is my “ultimate goal”? Convert you into a fan/consumer of my artistic creation brand, full disclosure.
With that said, let’s get to the topic at hand:
A Brief Background Story
In 2021, the last of my grandparents passed away, and this death hit me especially hard. This death was my Granny, the woman who used to sing to me when I was feeling down.
When I was a child, I had six grandmothers. When my mother’s mother died, it marked to me the last of “The Blessing from the Ancients,” as I called it.
After one of the worst years of my life (2022), I decided to leave the Midwest and go somewhere I could go to rebuild my shattered life.
I decided I was ready to settle down and create my kingdom. Find my Queen to rule beside me, in peace and tranquility, until death separates us.
A Date with The Lord
At the beginning of 2023, I moved from St. Louis, Missouri, to Durham, North Carolina. It was a journey of 12 hours, a time zone, and approximately 850 miles from the Mid-West where I was born.
I was invited to come to church by a beautiful woman. She was someone that I vibe with and wanted to pursue as a potential mate.
I will say this before I continue. I have watched the leader of her church on their social media sites and enjoyed the lessons and energy they provided.
The church leader has a different approach to teaching the word, which makes the lessons come to life in ways I haven’t seen in a while.
I am not a big fan of socializing. So, going to the cookie-cutter church system is not even on my list of things to complain about.
So I have been courting this woman, and again, she invited me to come to church with her, so I agreed. I am a spiritual man, so going to the house of The Lord is no problem for me.
So I went to the church as a newcomer and had a ball. The service was moving. The Hems were sung with passionate care.
I was welcomed into the fold with open arms and open Bibles.
Magical, my eyes teared over several times from feeling connected with humanity.
Oh, yeah, and my date ever showed. Lol.
