Iāve been thru a whole lot, but Iām still here.
Honestly, I look at myself and feel like a marketing genius. I donāt care what anyone says, Iāve been laughed at, talked about, and even had friends question why Iām still doing music after all this time. People have thrown me in the dirt, but somehow God always picks me up and I walk out clean. I tell people all the time, throw me in the jungle and Iāll find a way to make it work. Iām an adapter, always evolving and ready for whatās next. šÆ

Staying true to yourself is everything.
Staying true to yourself, no matter where life takes you, is everything. šš½ When I was locked up, I found motivation in people who pushed community, made a plan, and executed it when they came out. Big respect for that! šÆ
A lot of people see religion one way, but the real power lies in the connection, the belief, and the action behind it. šŖš½ I grew up Muslim, then found myself in the church, and even in the streets. But through it all, seeing brothers stand strong in their faith really inspired me. So much love to everyone who's out here creating change and pushing forward.

Real Recognizes Real. Unmatched Energy, Unbreakable Bond.
I can honestly say his energy is unmatched. šÆ People would go to him for peaceālike, you were the go-to guy for the CEOs, huh? Yeah, man, it was all about how you carry yourself in there. Being locked up isn't the end, itās about how you navigate it. It's another world, but it's how you handle it that counts.
For me, it was about bringing that brotherhood, no matter where you're fromāBloods, Crips, Gs, Vice Lords, it all came together like family. We didnāt need a lot of rules, just respect. I wouldnāt call myself a peacemaker, just a soul who knew how to vibe and bring that energy. šš¼ I respect you for that, bro. You're hereāthatās what matters. Glad to have you in this building. šš¼ #Brotherhood #EnergyMatters #RespectTheJourney

When You Know Better, You Do Better: The Power of Transparency in Relationships
Maturity changes everything. At 16, I might not have cared if she was married, but looking back now, I know better. My father always said, 'When you know better, you do better,' and thatās my mindset today.
I keep all my cards on the tableāno hiding, no secret texts, no sneaking around. Lifeās too short for those games. Everything I do, I do openly and honestly. Itās about building trust and doing it together.

Confessions of a Therapist: Iām in Therapy Too
Therapy isnāt about sugarcoatingāitās about being real. š¬ As a therapist in therapy myself, I know the power of laying it all out there. Every Thursday at 10 AM, I ādata dumpā my weekāno holding back. It's amazing how fast that hour flies when you're unloading and recharging.

Unity Over Spending: Harnessing Our $1.2 Trillion Power
Letās come together in unity and strength, because as a communityāespecially the Black communityāwe hold an incredible $1.2 trillion in spending power, a figure that speaks volumes about our potential influence and impact. Yet, despite this substantial economic clout, we continue to remain the nationās top consumers.
