I was born in 1982 in the beginning stages of the Hip-Hop culture. I watched the culture evolve over the past few decades into the most popular genre of music. I grew up listening to all different types of music, but fell in love with Hip-Hop in 1987. I love every aspect of Rap music and its culture Hip-Hop. I recently graduated from college with a degree in Recording Arts. I plan to utilize this degree to work in music industry with Hip-Hop and R&B artist.

Artist becoming Activist!



It is unfortunate that in recent news a citizen of Sanford Florida killed a young man by the name of Trevon Martin. Greg Zimmerman, a 27-year-old local citizen of a Sanford, Florida community killed young 17-year-old Trevino Martin after a neighborhood watch gone wrong. The community has cried foul play as witnesses say that Greg Zimmerman was acting more as a vigilante instead of a neighborhood watch. Local authorities reported that Mr. Zimmerman reported a strange black male was in the neighborhood and looked to be suspicious. Authorities then directed Zimmerman to stand down and not pursue the suspect. Zimmerman disregarded instructions and went after Trevon Martin where he perused him and attacked him in the neighbor’s backyard. The scuffle then led up to the shooting of Trevon Martin, which was unarmed are the time. Witnesses say that Trevon screamed in fear for his life as he begged for help. Trevon was found dead by local authorities with nothing more than a bag of skittles and a Nestle iced tea.

The community is in an uproar as Greg Zimmerman has yet to be interrogated or arrested. Local police chief has recently resigned his position as the media has speculated foul play in the case. This case has caught more than just the local communities attention but has reached the whole nation as they ask for justice for Trevon Martin. Major hip-hop recording artist Plies released a song in retrospect of the whole case. This case has sparked many You Tube discussions as to if thee killing is justified or foul play. In Kennesaw, Georgia Black Panther leader has demanded justice for Trevon Martin by putting out a $10,000 bounty for the death of George Zimmerman. Also superstar athletes Lebron James and Dewayne Wade have also showed support for the cause of seeking justice for Trevon Martin as they were pictured wearing a hoody with team members stating it could have been one of ours!
