DI4LOGUE: 4 Questions for My Partner

Posted on March 23, 2009

BR4DSH4W: WHAT ARE YOU IMPRESSED WITH?
I’m impressed with people who blaze trails. People whom had no one to follow, no bread crumbs to mark the path traveled and still traveled anyway. On top of all that most of these people were told at almost every turn (before they were famous) that what they wanted to do couldn’t/wouldn’t happen. Specifically these people for me are Bruce Lee, Quincy Jones, Albert Einstein and Malcom X. Of course there are alot more but these are the guys that stand out to me.

BR4DSH4W: WHERE DO YOU FIND INSPIRATION?
People and culture are a great inspirations to me. Life can catch up with you at times and you can begin to believe what the boob-tube tells you to believe. Culture always reminds you of the abstract and the picturesque. I think this is why I love downtown in ANY city across the globe and everywhere in big metro cities. You can find people who let loose and have forgotten how to hide themselves from the world. They have taken the opposite approach. The have be so much themselves that they tend to repeal those who aren’t authentic and attract those who are as to surround themselves with a network of their own living vision. It’s a beautiful thing!

BR4DSH4W: WHO ARE YOU LISTENING TO?
Black Milk and Nicolay stay in my rotation at all times of the year. Music from the soul is always my weakness and honestly without certain chords and feeling it’s almost impossible for me to get into it. Soul has zipp to do with genre and everything to do with what you’re putting into the music. Little Brother, Jill Scott, Prince, Musiq Soulchild, Illa J, Reel People, Rich Medina and Nonagon are all in the deck as of right now.

BR4DSH4W: HOW DO YOU LIKE TO BEGIN?
Who knows! I get visions of what to do. They aren’t always clear but are always hard hitting. From there it’s a matter of trying it out and seeing what it looks and feels like before I either keep it for something I’m going to do more of in the future (is tied to a passion of mine) or pass it on to someone whom will make it grow and blossom the way it should (because it’s their passion).
