The Movement's MOVING Back to the Home of Hip Hop!!!!

So......

Shout out to the homie Mike Barber from I Wanna Work For Diddy/host of my peoples For The Love Of Poetry's monthly showcase at the Times Square Art Center. I stole the title line from him!!! But it's quite relevant because I have a lot of updates for the peoples, and much of it is centered around BX and BX related entities. So let's get into it.

Shout outs to the homey Conscious a.k.a the Bronx Ubervillan for bringing me on as a feature last month, for The Bonfire monthly showcase at The Bowery Poetry Club. I had the opportunity to rock the stage with the likes of Donny Goines, who is also a BX representative and a huge representative of New York, which is something SoSoon is all about!!!! Lookout for the footage Soon!

Flash forward to the present. I had the opportunity today to do a lot of Bronx related community service. I was on 170th and College Boulevard with G.A.ME which is an organization that started out of Hunter College almost 10 years ago, and has grown to become an international organization. G.A.ME is volunteering at a community garden not to far from the G.A.ME's Bronx headquarters. I put in WORK out there before heading downtown to Boss Tweeds Bar for a Crohn's disease fundraiser. My coworker and good friend Simon's father is currently living with the disease, In preparation for an up and coming marathon, the family put together the event to raise money for the cause. P.S. Simon is a BX resident just to bring relevance back to the topic matter!

Finally I ended the evening in the studio put the finishing touches on a song called Zemira which I will debut next week at The Bronx Museum. A good friend of mine, Ms. Mecca Woods co-wrote a screen play with the aforementioned title with talks about the trials and tribulations of a young woman growing up in The Bronx as she attempts to overcome. This event, which is next week will feature performances from The AMP|Indelible team, including my manager/web designer Timothy Prolific Jones amongst others.

Closing the month out, G.A.ME will be having a Go Green concert at the community garden I volunteered for earlier today, which will be held on the 24th of June and of course your boy Soon will be rocking out.

Who ever said Queens don't have love for The Bronx. I mean The Bronx is my grandmother considering Hip Hop is my mother!!!!
