Wussup Soul Tracks readers!
The Ambassador of Urban Soul here.
I am really grateful that my newest project "Urban Soul-The Album And The Movie"-(CD/DVD dual set), was chosen as this month's "CD of the month" on Soultracks.com. It has been a true labor of love and it has become a more dynamic project then I ever thought it would be when I first wrote and produced the songs. With the help of so many of my colleges such as Kevin Harewood, George Littlejohn, Gail Ward, Infmega, J Hatch, plus other musicians, graphic artists, audio engineers and of course the patience of my beautiful wife... this CD of 14 songs grew into a double disc "Super-Album"... an audio CD combined with a DVD long form music video/mini-movie musical based on 9 songs from the album!
There was a lot of blood, sweat, and tears that went into this project, along with many frustrations, struggles, victories, and voyages beyond preconcieved limitations. So to see such a prestigious website and supporter of soul music choose to shine the spotight on "Urban Soul-The Album And The Movie" makes me feel like its messages and stories from the "Heart Of The City" will be heard beyond the reach of my hands alone, and hopefully it will encourage and inspire hearts and minds for generations to come.
God bless you all!
