LX A.K.A THE FUTURE

About Me

Welcome one and all, You have now reached the page of the one they call the legend...... I only humbly accept that title only to live up to that name. I believe a true legend is someone who affects the world around unafraid to challenge life's ups and down unshaken he thinks independently of the status quo yet coolly defining what swagger means. He lives out the true meaning of life leaving a legacy of helping others and effecting positive change. That is a true legend I hope to change the world with my music reach people speak for the poor and disenfranchise all over the world. I hope to speak for every man who has felt pain and loss every man who stands as a man and take life by horns. For man means mind and a man is a mind the sees reality as it is str8 no chaser yet with much wisdom there is sorrow but you say the serenity prayer and chuck a deuce. Well hello my name is Lafayette a native of Jacksonville Florida a large port city off the coast of Florida. They call it the bang em. Every thing comes through this city and I mean everything it's a major hub of transport for the navy army and coast guard. So you know they get it crunk here. This is one the cites I hope to blow up well aint nothing like blowin up your home town. The music that has come from Florida so far that has been introduced to the world has mostly originated near Miami which is a major music hotspot Orlando has had national success too. But to tell the stories and life experiences of north Florida will be quite different. Ray Charles hailed northern fla an alumni St. Augustine school for the blind The swamp the everglades if you will is little more untamed than the build up regions south a lot reserve land. So you can imagine the untamed experiences that lie hidden. We coming up though the big cats they stomp by the beach. But I hope to make Jacksonville known for more than the 05 super bowl or the Jaguars. I grew up writing song since I was nine years old. Been a hip hop head since that time too. Wrote my first rhyme for a say no to drugs contest. My mom actually helped me lol she always supported my craft our music is a conglomerate of all the influences that come through this city with its international ties. Its sound is militaristic yet earthy soul bluesy at times. I saw a lot national acts around town that fuels the fire also goodie mob tribe called quest Wu tang clan outkast 3 times hip hop is definitely alive in Jacksonville Florida you should come visit get a cd lol. I am the second oldest of 4 boys. My mom raised us with one kidney can you believe it. She is a truly a warrior goddess real to the bone my pop too a soldier from the start a activist and writer. I found all this poetry they used to dig on back in the day kinda let me know where my talent for writing came from. My inspiration comes from the last poet James brown charley parker Phyllis hymen Angela winbush Nas Krs-one Bobby seale Tupac Voltaire W.e.b Dubios, Steel Pulse, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Alex Haley, James Balwin, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Nelson Mandela, Patrice Lumumba, Wayne Dyer, Bob Dilan, The Doobie Brothers, Earth Wind and Fire, Ice Cube, Organized Noise, Rakim and Eric B, Cannibus, Red Man, Method Man, Bob Marley and the Marley Family Ray Charles, Billy Eckstein, James Brown the god father of soul, Atomic Dog, Fukadellic, Parliament, Quincy Jones, Stevie Wonder, Donnie Hathaway. I could fill up this whole page with that as you can see....That is only what I hope to aspire too high ideals huh I know whew!! Well moving right along........ I am here to make friends new ones and keep in touch with old ones thought I like to think real friends never get old you can never have too many. They say that the way you change the world is one random act of kindness at a time if the world adopted this policy we would all be friend 5 billion friends that's a hot idea Well if any of the boring stuff I talked about on this page interests you holla back lets do lunch I am an open book if you hit me up guarantee you will have the time of your life. If you need a track, a producer. I am your man also if you want a cd hit my links other than that be safe and remember life is short cherish every second like water in the desert, love the one you're with hold them close pray without ceasing and make your enemies your footstool peace..
