Rising From The Ashes.

It's been awhile since I've actually done anything in my hometown. I must say I had a moment this past week to work with some wonderfilled musicians all on the stage of the South Dallas Cultural Center in Dallas, TX. It happened on the 27th of November. I had a blast.... literally.... from the past.
The band I performed with was FLY!!! as maryjane on the back porch in the cool fall air and the people that held be me down on the - b.g - vocals were great i.e Mahogany and Rolex. Pristine in names I must say. "Girlz Roc!"
Reciprocity Live was a success thanks to the inner workings of Tisha, Aziz and Emanuel's cookies. He made the best vegan cookie treats that side of the mississippi and even tho I've grown up, his cookies definitely haven't changed. I was happy to have coped the last vegan cookie for the evening.... *applauds self*
I got the rare availability to hang out with an old and dear friend while I was there. Emotion - Stella Neptunes- Brown.
What ya'll know about her?
This girl inspires me to keep it going. She's doin big things... ya'll google her name. Emotion Brown and see what you find. But most importantly, she opened up her home to me and made her space mine and showed me sides of Dallas I really had no idea cultivated there. I ate some vegan cheese while with her that almost converted me back to being a vegan. I said "almost" lol.
I have pictures and more coming from my time in Dallas eventually as soon as people send them to me. haaaa but I just wanted to share with you the experience that I had.
So while I was at home I did a photo shoot... uh-oh strike a pose (vogue) That's right with a wonderfilled makeup artist named Traci Moore. She's Oh Em Gee Dope... please check this site for some behind the scenes shots.

this pic looks so vintage... lol
Reciprocity Live was a success, the photoshoot was a success and my overall trip in Dallas left me quite happy. I was able to Relax, Relate and Release, hugg a couple tree's and come back to Atlanta and grind it out... one more gin.
Until I blog again... and in between time.

It's All Relative.

Hip-Hop isn't dead, she's pregnant!!! "Esha Esh" founder of Hippie Maphia " picture to your left.
Yes the daughter of hip-hop (me) has found out that my Mother (HipHop) has birth a baby. it's name is Hippie Maphia. Go to www.hippiemaphia.com and check it out. Indigo children STAND UP and be accounted for.
Maryjane and I made some sort of impact because I'm starting to get all the uber cool perks of being an indie artist. Like... blogs from strangers who feel what I'm saying and no longer want to be strangers. Am I excited? EXTRA EXCITED because the future tho not perfectly seen can't be bleak with people like these encouraging and loving my schtuff. Shout out to allhiphop.com for posting my music on their site, I'm ELATED. MY team is STELLAR!!!! S/O to Amber Walls.
I have wonder-filled people around me and positive energy seeping from the seams, it's almost surreal and now I've been inducted into the new era hippie movement.
Yea they took a little blood, made me sign my name in O+ ink and even had me make a vow of veganism... (coughs, huh? again? lol) but for what it's worth, now I'm official. So when you see me in my Hippie Maphia gear just SCREAM!!! and break out in a dance or sorts with me... If you don't I'll be disappointed.
Everyone is waiting for the next big thing. STOP WAITING ... WE HURR!!!
It feels so GOOD to have arrived, thank you, thank you, you're far to kind.. -Jay Z-

I left the studio briefly to go to an event that was being held for a new friend of mine. Ashley V. Reid. Ashley is doing her thing on the Atlanta scene. The pictures of me that you see plastered all over the net, she did them. (YAY!!!)
You should definitely check out her website to see her work. She has an eye like no one that I've met as of late and I was pleasantly surprised when she asked me to be one of the people for her site.
Her site is www.ashleyreidphoto.com
She was celebrating her article in the source, which I must say, if you haven't seen it, you should definitely look at your latest copy of the source and read about what's really going on. They talk in depth about what she is doing and where she is going and I'm sure that she isn't going anywhere soon, so ya'll better get ready because the bar has just been raised; several degree's.I'm glad to have been apart of her project and I'm even more honored to know her as a person.

It was beautiful meeting you today.
He has a kindred spirit. One that I can agree with. He makes me smile just by speaking. He inspires my thoughts. Where did he go?
She has a beautiful smile a warm imagination and a good heart. Her colors are my colors and the way she paints reminds me of something I've seen. She motivates me. Where did she go?
It's moves are very instinctive, struggling to survive in a world that it doesn't fully comprehend. It's hungry so it hunts for food it can eat. The World is like a maze so it finds comfort in a small corner of the maze, only to venture out when necessary. It was right here but I don't see it now, where did it go?
They are you. You are I and I am as we are.
Love Yourself, Love Each Other.
We're All Relative.

Hello World,

I haven't been on this blog in a long time. I promise never to leave for such a long time again.
I've moved, no longer in NYC, I love that city but I'm finding myself falling for another place.
Atlanta, GA. The "Dirty South". I'm out and about now, in the studio recording records, and would very much like your opinion on what I'm doing.
I have a couple songs that are apart of the Alkhemi Jones "SouthernHipHopProlificChevyMusic" Mixtape and I'd love for you to check them out.
The Link is below just click on So Hard and it will take you right to my youtube page.

Today is a Beautiful Day, Tomorrow will be better
Love Always

Wow!!!

Where have I been? What have I seen? What's new? I abandoned this blog in 2006 it's 2010 and I'm baaaaaacccckkkk!! I don't know if anyone was even reading it but I do know that It's been a lonnnnggg time coming. So what am I into these days?

First thangs first, I no longer reside in NYC :( ... but I'm sure to be back up that way in a minute.

I'm currently in ATL"shawty" thats right the Black Hollywood. How do I like it so far? Well I mean its a place, like any other place. It has its perks and its not so perks. LOL

What am I doing? I'm working on a few things, music is definitely included in these things, grinding? "STAY ON MY GRIZZY CAN'T STOP ME, I BE BY MYSELF CAUSE NOBODY ELSE CAN TOP ME"

You know the mental grind is the grind that surpasses any other, its the mind that limits you to yourself, without seeing the possibilities, you're stuck in an endless chain of events that might not always deem in accordance to what you want to happen. I've been a few places, seen a couple of things, I've loved and have been loved. I've been hated on but love all the same.

This chic, my big sister.. (I refuse to say a name for I'd hate her to think I'm tryna use her to get on) I look up to says it best, It's either HOTEP or Hoe Step, I love the saying so much I've put it on my Facebook page, so if anyone ever really wants to know how I feel, thats where I'm at right now.

Hotep; for those that might not have a clue as to what it means, its a khemetic word that basically means PEACE. Khemet is the original name for Egypt it means the black land. I am Alkhemi or The Black One... see where this is leading now? It's all Relevant.

I'll be visiting this blog more often as I am progressively moving forward and would love to divulge stuff that might not otherwise be put out there, if I don't say it.

So sit back, pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee or some tea, breathe deep and explore my thoughts "but buy my record first" HAHA

Ciao for Now

Al Khemi
