Today's That Day!

About Me

Hailing from the City of Wind that settled me in the Atl. has moved me from one city extreme to the next level but here is where I'll leave my mark. Everyday I find a new song to add to the soundtrack of my life, so I'm driven by that melody in my head. Maybe that's how I keep positive influences around me, 'cause they're drawn by the melodic tones. Creativity through promotions is a passion of mine so feel me when I tell you I work with the Livest & Tightest Hip Hop band in the Atl. - HEAVY MOJO (heavymojomusic.com)! I'm a writer & I chronicle life through words spoken from the bricks to the boardroom. Hip Hop has been my steady since I was thirteen, but Jazz has always been the other woman even though I roam the streets from time to time with their cousins Blues & Rock. B-Ball is the greatest sport ever invented so I write a sports column dedicated to keeping the ball bouncing. I'm an avid reader of authors such as Scoop Jackson, Michael Eric Dyson, Todd Boyd, John Sanford, Black erotica, & Poetry. I love amusement parks, long drives into the arms of the night on my 600RR, making sure my team wins, keeping my name out the newspaper & my face out the morgue, having a good time, and doin' the dayumn thang.So [email protected].. ..

Heroes:

My Grambino, George Westley Todd Jr. who past 11/7/03. I am the man that I am because of him as he showed me what a REAL MAN is. My mother, Ma Dukes. She keeps me grounded, makes me laugh, gets in my face, & taught me what REAL WOMEN LOOK FOR IN A MAN. My brother Narq-eese, aka C-Lo. Although he's younger than me he has taught me strength isn't in the years you have but in the character that makes up the person you are.
