The Earth Mother

By Walasia Al-haliymu Shabazz

Who am I? Simply put, I am the Earth Mother. The Daughter of Flower Children, revolutionaries who wore their hair long and who smoked of the earth, and were oft arrested at marches and sit-ins. They weren't afraid of The Man, they weren't afraid of themselves. They loved Mother Earth. So they bore this Love Child, this Daughter of Nature. Me. That was 1974.

Fast forward. Tune in, turn on, and drop out. Now we’re in the 21st Century…it will soon be the year 2012. Who am I? I am a natural oddity. I cook, I clean, I sew, and I garden. I reap what I sow. I judge wisely. I share my knowledge with others in the form of words aloud and on paper. But despite all of my positivity and growth, I am most easily identified by my fear. Some people, it is said, can actually smell fear. I hide within my shell, for I am afraid. Afraid for what has been, more afraid for what is to come. But most of all, I am afraid to bear a child, because things, I'm afraid, are not what they used to be.

Blogging It: Promoting Yourself As An Artist

By DJ Gary B

I recently had a discussion with a friend of mine who is also in this business of making music -- he was telling me how hard it is sometimes to be dealing with some of these artists who for whatever reason seem to think they can just sit back and watch money roll in without having to lift a finger or even contribute in some small way to ensure their success.

Every artist needs to consider this fact… “You have to get down in the trenches and do some leg work to ensure a career in this business and not leave it up to everyone else, especially if you're just starting up in this thing called the music business.”
