Another GATS graffiti sighting

 

 

There's a graffiti artist who hits up the Bay by the name of GATS (check out his Tumbler site!) who does these funky head pieces (as seen above) amongst other things. The cat's work is fresh, I'm kind of a fan. Sometimes whenever I come across these GATS pieces I have to pull over and take a picture! Maybe one day we could collab is the things of dreams! Check it out...

Happy New Years | KPFA Radio appearance tonight! | Pandora & a new video |

sOuL: Update for 2012

Thank you for supporting my music, the response to The Unspoken Word – last year was great, but I have a feeling 2012 is gonna take it to a whole other level!

Things are in motion....

For those of you in the Bay Area, you can catch me tonight Friday January 5th at 12 midnight on KPFA 94.1FM on the Friday Night Vibe with JR Valrey show.

It should be fun, but if you can't tune in...

You can now listen to The Unspoken Word on Pandora! For all you who are a fan of this music site like I am, you can add my album to your play list by using the Pandora album search and looking for The Unspoken Word, or artist search for S.O.U.L., or via this link:

Another sOuL video for the album is in the works, so I will be reaching out as soon as it gets finished.

Until next time.

Stay up. Stay in touch.

Oakland is not a war zone! Oakland is a beautiful city!

Yesterday the SF Chronicle ran a story about an Iraqi man who has relocated to Oakland and how he now feels living in Oakland is worse than living in war torn Iraq, fearing for his safety etc. As someone from east Oakland I'm pouring salt on this perspective not because there isn't violence in my city, but because it's not a war zone. War zone's get bombed from the sky, have car bombs go off in crowded markets, and have an active opposition fighting another opposition, amongst other atrocities. I see none of this going on in Oakland today, yesterday nor at any time in 2011 and before! And for those who think Oakland is a war zone, I request more examples because I have found no such evidence!

Cornel West and Carl Dix @UC Berkeley

last night I had the wonderful opportunity to hear Cornel West and Carl Dix speak at UC Berkeley. If that wasn't already fresh enough I also had a chance to slide Cornel a copy of my latest album The Unspoken Word - to which Cornel said "The Unspoken Word!?! I'm gonna have to check that out!!" good times ;) This is the pic I took right before I gave it to him...

Reason one million and one why I love James Brown!

Reason one million and one why I love James Brown! Yes the God father of sOuL ;) And Yeah the initial story on the interview is lame, but how he directs the conversation to what he wants to talk about is classic and always makes me laugh!!
