One of the highlights of 2017 for me was making it back to my hometown of New Orleans for Mardi Gras. I've been home for the Essence Fest many times over the years, but this was my first Mardi Gras in 22 years. On top of that, I got to see my sister @expatwhodat ride in the Zulu parade for her 40th birthday. It was a beautiful, spiritual return and I even stayed true to my exercise regimen, jogging to parades like Iris and Bacchus to meet up with my friends and family. (I ain't stay true to no diet though, bruh; I eat like a pig when I'm in NOLA, yurd me? Lol) I realize as much as I love Essence Fest, I prefer Mardi Gras, because it's more about the culture, spirit, and my memories of my city. One of my missions while I was there was to get footage of me spitting my verse for the #NeckAss song "Coming From Where I'm From". It started with my brother Dwayne B's ( @crochetkingpin ) rap about growing up and SouthEast DC. I was watching him rock it at @busboysandpoets , caught a vibe, and wrote my verse about New Orleans. Then we got our dude @basicthebassist to spit about Indianapolis. My vision is to do a music video with footage in all of our hometowns, kind of like how Talib Kweli did in that video with Kendrick and Curren$y. My scenes are shot, fam. Y'all up! I'm straight New Orleans / Crawfish etoufee and pralines / Rooting for the Saints of all teams / Marsalises and Morials / Zulu balls and Southern Belles, 5312 LaSalle / Operation Shattered Shield; crooked cops, G / I was in New Orleans when Entergy was NOPSI / Uptown; houses built above ground / Didn't count for much when Katrina come around . . / But I bleed New Orleans / My blood type is "ayyy pocky way, laissez les bontemps roulez" / I'm in the N.O. even when out it; I'm bout it, bout it / New Orleans on the globe 'cause the map is too crowded / A Hotel Dieux baby; a dog from the Aug / I floss with moss and I gargles with hot sauce / A 13th Wardy with Dat Uptown Funk / Don't boycott Beyoncé; boycott Trump! #nola #neworleans #uptown (at Napoleon at St Charles Ave)
