But only good can come to those whose thoughts are good."(Connie Mendez) E&J brings his positive message to the world through spoken word. E&J has two self-released albums through his company Ghetto Wisdom LLC. "When I recorded the albums 'Ghetto Wisdom' & 'The Welfare Poet' I was going through some very tough trials. My brother Brandon had just been killed by the North Port, Fla Police. Then immature mistakes led to my incarceration. It was a time of deep reflection of my personal demons and the afflictions of a dis-honest world!" "The key is: whatever you think to become, if you visioned it's true form, you will become it." (Dr. Malachi York) E&J's message of Ghetto Wisdom has been spreading across the country. In 2006, E&J's band Ghetto Wisdom made a huge splash on the Cleveland Music Scene.
