More Press…

100% True. A couple of nights ago, I was reading Idris’ profile on Vanity Fair where he talks about his path in Hollywood. The next day, I’m quoted and featured on their website. When things move sometimes, they move SWIFTLY. Thanks to Vanity Fair, THEM, and Mitu for the coverage of my AT&T Hello Lab […]

Hello

This will be short (I think.) I’m not going to try to name check everyone who helped me get to this point, cause someone would be left off. What I will say, to both my ‘day ones’ (or whatever the kids are saying these days) and to the communities I’m here to represent: I’m one […]

‘The End Result of My Affair’

‘Oh Allah, if you know this matter to be good for me in my faith, my livelihood, and the end result of my affair, then decree it for me, make it easy for me, and then bless it for me. And if you know this matter to be bad for me, my faith, my livelihood, […]

Video of the Day – ‘Allies’

My words are coming Sunday night. In the meantime, one of the Office homies just put this video in one of our chats. Good people man. Again, I’ll speak on that Sunday. In the meantime, this PSA…

The premise is super simple, Ramy is a young Muslim American living in New Jersey trying to find his place […]

‘Soul of a Nation’

I was worried I was catching this exhibit at the end of its L.A. run, but as it turns out, it’s here til September 1st. For the L.A. folks, if you haven’t made it down to the Broad lately, I can’t recommend enough ‘Soul of a Nation’. The exhibit covers several decades of black art […]

Video of the Day – ‘Electric Relaxation’

‘Lyrically, I’m supposed to represent, I’m not only a client, I’m the player president.’ That is still the undisputed best closer in hip hop for me. ‘Shorty let me tell you bout my only vice; it has to do with lots of lovin, and it ain’t nothing nice…’ That might be my clear number 2… […]

‘Finding Neverland’

It’s not an exaggeration to say I idolized Michael Jackson as kids. There’s no movie star, athlete or musician even close to his level now. So I’ll start there and add, my head hurt watching this, and I’ve seen/heard enough of the stories calling the centerpiece of this documentary an opportunist and a liar. I […]
