Somebody FINALLY is listening!!!!! "DayKeeper" (featuring Muhsinah), the first single from the sophomore album, Leave It All Behind, has been nominated for a Grammy award in the category "Best Urban/Alternative Performance"!
Good music is making a comeback! This is my FAVORITE ALBUM OF THE YEAR on my list, it's #1 FOR SURE. Hands down, best r&b album of the year! It's a shame it's not played on the airwaves...we still have a long way to go. If you haven't heard Leave It All Behind, you are missing something truly magnificent in your life. I HIGHLY suggest you get familiar!
Here is the video. Amazing lyrics, a song I definitely relate to, something serious in my life right this moment. Check it out:
-"and when the sun rises he watches over me...only in daylight"
This past year I've been living like I was bullet proof, but I'm human, and those bullets gave me some wounds. I've made a promise to myself recently, that I will no longer do anything that will cause ANY sort of injury to myself. This means I am currently HEALING myself of ALL of those wounds. I'm finally doing myself a justice by caring for my own feelings for once. Iv'e always cared about the feelings of other's before my own, and it's done nothing but cause me pain. It's toxic..so I'm stopping that now. Respect is SO important. I've always gave respect, and sometimes when I don't receive it, I can't take it anymore.
When the time is right, and when my wounds are healed...i'll put on my bullet proof vest...but for now, I'm staying away from the battle.
-My life & my love is too precious. Time is of the essence.
I can not stop playing this song. I'm loving this video. Soul at it's finest. This is from the late J Dill's brother Illa J's debut album, Yancey Boys. Produced by J Dilla aka Jay Dee
Back in LA from Bakersfield. I had SO much fun with my old friends, and hanging out with my family, it was nice being away from this city. Crazy. Still on cloud 9. I don't ever want to come down ;-)
I've had a GREAT weekend Smiles for miles..loving my life right now! heading off to Guys and Dolls tonight for AMA after party another night of mayhem ;-)
City of Angels (and no doubt Devils), California, United States
Painstakingly treading through life, steadily chasing after my dreams.
A hopeless romantic,
without a doubt frantic.....
of becoming another female statistic.
Fearful of losing,
Though I'm not always right in choosing.
Frightful of becoming a bitter jaded soul...
But I won't play that roll,
Things have definitely taken it's toll,
But thats the ultimate goal.
