This year has been a nonstop rollercoaster ride. I lot of lows/losses and some eye opening highs. I'm thrilled/blessed to share another high with you all. Found out earlier today that "Closing (0037)" featuring the talented Malcolm Jackson (@mpinfinite) on vibraphone was just featured on @spotify's "Lo-Fi Beats" playlist! Followed by over 500,000 listeners!!! 🎉 Amazing! Nearly 20 years in the game and I'm still growing. Shout out to the #SUBporters who consistently support my musical growth while the rest of the world sleeps. "I got too much love to waste my life hatin'". If you haven't listened to it yet, it's streaming everywhere so go treat yours ears. FRIENDLY REMINDER: I'm at @creativesuitland on Friday with my bro @djjav. Come rock with us. ✌🏾 #Substantial #Closing #substantialartandmusic #DMV #SubstantialSundays #lofibeats #vibes #Spotify #malcolmjackson
Happy B Day to my big sister @patrice451968! 🎉 I'm blessed to have FIVE sisters! 🤯 FIVE strong, beautiful, black women!!! You're supportive, understanding, loving and resilient. I'm lucky to have you. Love you, Patrice! ANDDDD she's a SUPER Prince fan as well which only adds to her dopeness. 😎💜 #HBD #borntobegreat #HappyBornDay #happybirthday #blackgirlmagic #headwrap #listentoblackwomen #love
Happy BDay and #VeteransDay to my one and only blood brother, Richard (@richs_hnw). Thanks for your service and for looking out for your little bro. You're the reason why there's at least a 1000lbs worth of vinyl in my studio because you helped foster my love for music at a young age. One day I'm going to capture a video of you telling the story of me as a toddler butchering Rod Stewart songs. 😂🤣 You're also the reason why Prince is one of my all time favorite artists. More important than all those things, you taught me that I should never raise my hand to a woman EVER and assured me that you'd be there to whoop my @$$ if I did. For that, and many other reasons, I thank you and love you, bro. Check your voicemail. Talk soon. #mybrotherskeeper #usarmy #throwback #polaroid #Family #military
"Another definition of a hero is someone who is concerned about other people’s well-being, and will go out of his or her way to help them — even if there is no chance of a reward. That person who helps others simply because it should or must be done, and because it is the right thing to do, is indeed without a doubt, a real superhero.” - #StanLee #RIP ■ Artwork by @tsevis. ■ This man and his creations had a profound effect on my childhood. Sad to see him go. 😔 Thanks for making some of my favorite characters ever. Thanks for helping me hate my name a lot less. 😁 From 1 Stan to another, rest well, Mr Lee. #Excelsior #RIPStanLee #Marvel
