THE LEGEND:
On July 3. 1990 a legend was born. With his crative and innovative mind he strove for success. Through his bloodline it seems he inherited a clash of traits leaving him destined for greatness. The ambitious heart of a horseracing champion on the last lap of a race for the Olympics is the drive that can only mildly compare to his. When all else failed, he still had his faith, and with the stamina of a fictional comic book hero he would be able to bounce back from the most threatening situations. So in the end his mind shone and helped all in dire need. His mission – Change the world.
His first childhood memories were those of strong-hearted family members. Early on, he became the last hope for a better future. As the oldest son, nephew, and ultimately grandchild, each member of the family bound together to show this little boy all life had taught them thus far.
His grandfather was a playful, yet humble man, with a mind trained by the military. His uncle had the mind of a young artist looking for a career in which he could express himself and make a living out of it. His grandmother was the nurture, care and kindhearted woman who softened this boy to be generous to all. His father and mother would be at the core. The father being a strong minded yet creative man raised from a troubled background taught the boy simply, “If you believe in something or have a goal set, never let anything stop you from protecting that belief or achieving that goal even if ultimately I am the one who stands in your way.†The mother was just incredible! All around she was the strongest force in his life. Even after his parents split up she took the initiative as a single mother to work full time and still go back to college full time so she could support this boy and his little sister.
With the strong yet delicate hands of a jeweler, the grandfather took care in molding this child into that of a man to be remembered. In his lifelong career he worked as a driving instructor, small business owner, detective, war official of the marines, train conductor, jeweler, and the list goes on. Throughout it all, he paved the way for his family. In his 30’s, the grandfather put himself through college, and got a degree in law, all while providing for his wife and three children. In his grandfather’s entire work, he taught the boy about being a man and standing up to complete your duties no matter what they may be. And as a child growing up, his grandfather never failed to reveal another story of his life that would further enhance the mind of this boy headed for success.
A degree in web design, and knowledge of the music industry is what the boy’s Uncle had to offer. Dee Jay Kered (Derek spelled backwards) showed this young boy the ropes when handling music. At the tender age of two, his uncle recorded his voice in the studio saying, “DJ Kered†so the uncle can use as his radio drop, which is still active until this day. Eventually what the boy was taught by his uncle was his style, and charisma. A tool used to attract others to his already developed mind.
Grandma never turned anyone down who needed help. And as a child, this boy was taught that generosity and care for your fellow human race was something to always remember. If you were sick you can go to grandma. If you were hungry, you can go to grandma. Whatever cares you needed, she would give unconditionally. So when it all came down to it, this boy was given a heart to love and care for the rest of humanity. A life of poverty, and abuse created a man who was goal oriented. Possibly one of the strongest minded men ever to walk the face of the earth was this boy’s father. His father taught him discipline, and also helped to expand his creative mind. The father played basketball, football, baseball, you name it and this man was a key player you wanted on your team. His speed, accuracy, and strength were something to be admired. But at the end of the day, his father on the court wasn’t a Kobe Bryant; he was more of a Jason Kidd. So he taught this boy to be a team player. But not only did this man work out, he was a visual artist that had been given the opportunity to display his works of art would go down as an urban/neo Michelangelo. All of these traits clustered into that of the boy growing up, and watching his father.
She was a single mother, raising two children and throughout all financial struggles and difficulties, she continued to move forward. She strove to give her children the best possible life they could have, and against all odds she did well when compared to many. Through the pain of her breakup after 16 years, and with her family too far away to have direct influence in her life she fought hard. Every wall in front of her, she broke down. Every river she crossed. And every mountain she climbed. Whatever rough terrain she had to cross in order to provide she did skillfully, and never gave up. She did all of this, and more to provide for her children. This was the boy’s mother, and her example is one of the biggest that the boy models himself after. He will never give up.
With hopes to put all of these lessons to use, this boy grew to be a man. Well legally in a few months he will be considered an adult fully. The Dominant Urban Brand (T.Dub) will be his company. It will consist of Tha’ Works Records And Lethal Inspiration clothing. Tha’ Works Records is a recording label dedicated to the complete survival of the Hip Hop culture. Lethal Inspiration hopes to serve as a clothing line, as well as a social statement. Its mission is to provide the urban community with fresh new clothing that supports creativity and innovative thinking. Eventually, The Dominant Urban Brand will consist of sub-labels that provide management, modeling, photography, and films all dedicated to the same cause which is bringing fresh new art to the community, and providing an opportunity for those with backgrounds which are less fortunate.
This was, and is the story of a man. A man ready to face any hardships this life has to offer. A man on a mission to acquire a wealth of knowledge that is diversely spread across the map, and can be applied in a life dedicated towards changing the world. This man was named Brandon “Feel-X†Morel . . . The Legend
