2 8 1 9 T U R N S F O U R T O D A Y Man..... Time flies, man..... It really does My last album was FOUR YEARS AGO, like freaking FOUR YEARS AGO, and strangely enough it doesn't feel like it, although I really find myself missing the album creation process. 4 years ago, I was consistently knocking out late night to past midnight sessions with @_mikeirish to bring these compositions I wrote, visualized and collaborated with @mahoganyjonz, @rqtek, @mars88era, @gauge77, @davejameshd, @elanbrio, @edgarmattey, @themindofrob & #MyLadyOfCONQUEST to life.... And four years later, it still stands as my best work to date without question which I pray either led people to Christ or helped to keep them there I'm looking forward to completing #TheRadicalTrilogy really soon....

A M A R V E L S T A T E M E N T So many great things to say about this movie, but without spoiling it for anyone who hasn't seen "BLACK PANTHER" yet.... GO SEE IT ASAP It's a remarkable movie on so many levels And the reasons why go beyond the obvious Yes, "Black Panther" was a cultural phenomenon, yes "Black Panther" was a huge record breaking box office success (Over $201 million in the 1st four days of release) and yes, "Black Panther" was the 1st superhero led by a top tier cast of actors who also so happened to be predominately BLACK, but what really blew me away was this film was excellent from start to finish with compelling storytelling, masterful use of sci-fi, social parallels and moral compus and it's strong acting performances that included the expected strong showing of Chadwick Boseman in the lead role, a breakout performance by Letitia Wright as Shuri (Black Panther's tech savvy sister) and Michael B. Jordan's outstanding portrayal of one the best villains/antagonists to ever hit the Marvel Universe or the big screen for that matter in Erik Killmonger Props to Ryan Googler for adding another visionary film to his already storied directoral resumé at 31 years young and thank you for not just making a GREAT "BLACK" FILM but a GREAT FILM PERIOD that showcases the unique brilliance of people of color #CONQUEST #CONQUEST43 #LocklessMONSTER #BlackPanther #WakandaForever #MCU #MARVELSTUDIOS #MarvelUniverse #AMarvelStatement #MarvelComics #ChadwickBoseman #LetitiaWright #MichaelBJordan #RyanCoogler #Shuri #ErikKillmonger #BlackHistoryMonth #CONQUESTsnapshots #MovieReview #EngagingTheCulture #ImOnThatNextNEXT #MovieDate #RadicalThoughtOfTheDay

TESTIMONY: MAN'S PLANS ARE FULL OF FRAGILITY This picture was taken yesterday.... Moments before my day was totally thrown off.... LIKE WAY OFF TODAY: as in 1.26.18, my after school program is having it's first MAJOR SHOW with me being the CREATIVE DIRECTOR of the whole thing. I'm pretty much involved in everything from set design to songwriting to directing the plays being executed by our kids. YESTERDAY was pivotal to what's happening today. It was our final dress rehearsal, along with everything else we had to put in place from costumes to audio. I had a schedule, I had a time to be there, and everything was moving according to plan right around the time I took THIS SELFIE on the 5 train for a promo idea I had.... And then everything took a turn for the worst I got sick on the train.... LIKE REALLY SICK Like 'stomach churning, overheating to the point of sweat, nausea inducing to the point of vomitting' type of sick. It's one thing to get SICK AT HOME, It's whole other (potentially dangerous) thing to get SICK ON THE SUBWAY. Yet, there I was, desperately debating whether I should get off at 42nd or 59th St. while hardly being able to stand up. I ended up choosing 59th but I could barely get up the stairs, people are walking right past me probably thinking I was on drugs or drunk with the way I was stumbling around praying to God to find a bathroom. Thankfully I finally made it up the stairs, found a bathroom in the BLOOMINGDALE'S right next to the train station & quickly relieved myself of whatever food poisoning I was a victim of Yeah....good times. Smh Eventually, I felt better, called my team to let them know what happened & gave them instructions to carry out until I got there, knocked out all my tasks & we ended up having a great dress rehearsal. Yesterday was humbling on so many levels, but it mainly showed me how GOD SHOWS UP in the midst of turmoil he allows to take place in your life in order to test your faith, it also proved how fragile man's plans next to God's, when life happens fast & trouble comes THAT QUICK #CONQUEST43 #CONQUEST #LocklessMONSTER #RadicalThoughtOfTheDay #Testimony #Testify #Faith #GodsPlan #JesusChrist #TestsAndTrials

BE MINDFUL OF YOUR PLATFORM Social media is the gift & the curse, and it's even more so for Christians. It's a "gift" because we have the potential to bless, inspire, educate, entertain, encourage and rescue people with one simple post that has the potential to go viral & reach millions across the world, or at the very least, reach a substantial audience or even just that ONE SOUL who desperately needed what you had to share.... The "curse" comes when the message behind your post is misinformed, easy triggered, dangerously emotional, not completely thought out, inauthentic and a misrepresentation of who you are & who you belong too, and it's even more of a curse if your "soapbox" is endorsed by a wide audience. An audience that hangs on your every word and has NO DESIRE to check you because 1) they're afraid to do so or 2) the rhetoric being spewed encourages their depravity, ignorance, hatred & carnal natures In 2017, we CHRISTIANS, DISCIPLES, BELIEVERS OF THE GOSPEL, "SAINTS" etc. etc. need to be even more cognizant of how & what we share on social media, especially if it's a popular or unpopular opinion of the world we currently live in. I'm not saying "APPEAR AS HOLY AS POSSIBLE" because that's not authentic, especially if we're doing it strictly for appearances, but when it comes to everything from the racial divide to President Trump to popular culture to sexual orientation, let's make sure that whatever we say on social media! (in terms of encouragement, protest or evangelism), pray that it is rooted in the gospel of Jesus Christ, pray that it is administered with grace, pray that it is well informed & well studied, pray that your biblically sound Pastor can back it up & not rebuke it and pray that your words will ultimately lead someone to the salvation & sovereignty of JESUS THE CHRIST Have fun, but be responsible.... Remember your calling & who you represent #CONQUEST #CONQUEST42 #LocklessMONSTER #RadicalThoughtOfTheDay #Platforms #SocialMedia #SocialMediaResponsibility #Soapbox #Platforms #JesusChrist #TheGospel #Evangelism #TheGreatCommission #Matthew28Nineteen #Grace
