Music:

I am all about the old skool 90's Jams. Tevin, BBD,ABC, Color Me Badd, Jodeci, Salt n' Peppa, TLC, Raphael Sadiqq....those were da days. I have a thing for India Arie and Stevie Wonder- Number 1 Fan. Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Lizz Wright, Hope, Goapele, Rhian Bension, Zapp Mama, Common, Aaliyah, Alicia Keys, Keith Martin, Amel Larrieux, Avila Brothers, Yolanda Adams, Angie Stone, Missy, Black Eyed Peas...love them all. Oh, and you know I gotta shake it to all those clubbin Jams (URR-SHER, etc) and that Rap shit. Although I don't condone misogenistic lyrics, sometimes you gotta let it go and just have fun. On another tip, I dig world music and indigenous sounds. When it comes to independent artists (Spoken word and such) I have mad love for the Ladies of 8th Wonder, Isangmahal Kollective, Balagtasaan Collective, the FREEDOM WRITERS http://www.geocities.com/freedom_writers/news.html,the Longhairs, Saul Williams, Shammy Dee, Bambu, Native Guns, Kiwi, Jay Perez, Joy de la Cruz http://www.geocities.com/joyouspoetry/. and of course, my love, Vejea Jennings vejea.com
