1ST CHAMBER RELEASE
My book,(Unlocked thoughts of a Prophet's Temple) if you were unaware, will be "unlocked" soon. In parts anyway. I've decided due to $$ limitations currently, that I'll be releasing my 5 chapter chapbook, for now, with each chapter as separated books themselves. The first one slated to be ready by early/mid Dec. at the latest. And will be subtitled: "Humble Beginnings". If your also not aware what my book will be about, basically is, : a look into my trials and tribulations as a said, "Prophet/soothsayer" with affirmations, passages and poems to express them in a creative understanding form. Over almost the past 3 decades and mainly the past half decade of things I went through.
Finally, I know my BK heads have been waiting, patiently. So....My next and First feature in BK in a while will be in the New year. February 2nd, 2011! :-D And I do plan to get loose with this tongue! Lol! The details are below in show schedule of the link to my reverbnation page.

(Trying to set up a tour heading into and by early next year at the latest)

With prod. by MC and producer Chris Phoenix. And Producer/singer-song writer Omni Blaze. Still touching base with the guest stars that will be on it. And believe me when I tell ya...we bout to make some magic happen on wax. Trust. Be ready for "Brooklyn's Lost Son" coming to venue, :) and a retailer near you. B-)
As soon as I confirm some new gigs I'm working out, the show schedule will be a bit heavier then it is right now.
Bare with me my people.
