This week, while you prepare to head to the polls to vote in Barack, also make sure do a couple of other things as well. One, pick up the Q-Tip Renaissance album tomorrow. Two, cop the new Mr. Lif single featuring me, Statik aka Mr. Sonny James on the hook. It’s called Welcome To The World and is the 3rd single from the “I Heard It Today” LP being released on Inauguration Day.

One Love to Cosmo Baker for being the Vet he is and killing it at The BODYROCK on Halloween. We miss hearing him rock regularly at the Remedy, etc. He’s a monster…

Finally, is there a need to speak on how important this election is to us all?
Folks, please do what makes sense at the Polls. 8 years of the government considering no interest of the people is enough, don’t you think. There has to be a change in the White House. Responsibility needs to be had and progressive action taken in order to make things work for once. Clearly, Barack Obama has presented the better plan proving he’s prepared for the duties involved. If you’re digging Sarah Palin because she’s cute, please get over it. If you think John McCain is the better choice because of all that Prisoner of War business, take a look at how many long lasting negative aspects he could have possibly taken away from that experience and tell me that won’t affect his judgement in the White House.

Now please get out to vote tomorrow and call your friends to make sure they know where they are registered. We can’t afford to have excuses on Wednesday morning. The future of our country, us, and our children ultimately depend on our ability to think critically and choose logically tomorrow.

Thanks and we hope to see you out this week at one of the Lif performances. The new album is crazy!

Man, I felt like a fool on Friday. I got caught up in the Phillies Celebration Parade by accident. Of course I’m proud of my city and our home team but I had my son with me. I didn’t want to deal with the massive crowd drinking and acting a fool with him there. We would have been good watching it at home. But I snuck down to City Hall to cast my vote early and when we came out, all hell was breaking loose. The only moron at the Parade with an Atlanta Braves hat on was me. 18 Phillies hats in different colors at the crib and I come out the house with a Braves hat on the one day in 25 years my whole town is going nuts for the Phillies! Stupid!

Then I was so wrapped up finishing up work on Mr. Lif’s album and preparing for tour that I didn’t go all out with a costume for our Halloween BODYROCK party we’ve been promoting for weeks. People all day were asking what the hell was I thinking when I left the house. Oh well…

Either way, The BODYROCK was rockin as usual. Cosmo definitely tore it down and had on the ill Samurai outfit in the process. One love to him for choosing to get down with us on a night where so many other events were going on. He’s a vet.

Last night, we played at Brandeis College in Massachusetts for an intimate but really live crowd and had the pleasure of kicking it with Kwame for a bit as well. What an ill cat…

Last night was the tour warmup. Tonight me, Lif, and Metro rock in Cambridge. I love the new Lif album and with features from Edan, Bahamadia, Vinnie Paz, yours truly and more, I’m sure you guys will too.

Catch you tomorrow…
