Sometimes, late at night, when the Bally, Harold Melvin, Teddy P dem are your only friends, you look around the room and realize it's just you. Then you realize how lonely lonely can get. You wish so dearly that there was someone to be there by your side to…you know what I mean. And Teddy’s crooning through your speakers, real mellow like, as only he can. You really feel a type of way. Then you remember to look to your left. Your ash tray is looking type prestigious. And one, bitch.
For every cat out there stuck some damn where in his feelings…nigga, did you read the last paragraph? Stop your blood-clot cryin’ and call your friendly neighborhood sativa pharmacist to place a ‘script. Come through. Match two.
Ok, ok. Enough of the shenanigans. Welcome back. I know, I know. It's been a long time, we shouldna left you. We never disappeared, though. We just chose to play the back row to get other affairs in order.
Starting with the brand…the indelible @crewunB. El jefe @TheMisterCeizzo, lil bro @UnB_Lo and myself chose to embed it into our skin. Why? Because it's more than just an apparel company. It's a movement. It's a culture. It's our culture. The UnB tanks were an undeniable summer hit; I'm sure you’ve seen them if you live in 07631 or make moves in Bergen County. We still have a few left. Get at us. This fall/winter though…prepare for hoodies and long sleeve tees. We gon give you that WWE flavor. Yes, that WWE flavor. We’ve got multiple color ways for your favorite WWE superstar, UnB style, of course. It's about to be Smackdown for real out this hoe. And Monday nights are always RAW. And at my own humble behest, be on the lookout for the UnB Hammer Brothers suit design. I'm telling you, it's serious. But when you see us fall up in the spot with the UnB varsity coats on this late fall/early winter? Curtains. The haters gon have to do what they do in third person.
As for me, I can't complain. 100 Blocks Stories is still doing well. The wave is mounting for part 2. It's coming, but I'm taking the time to perfect it. This time around, there's more at stake. In the meantime, I've coauthored my second book, though in sharp contrast to the first. I've Got It!: The Journey of Kayden Kinckle is an illustrated children's book about a brave little child of color named Kayden, a double below the knee amputee who receives his first pair of prosthetic legs and endeavors upon walking for the first time. I coauthored it with Kayden’s mother Nikki, a close friend of mine. The story is endearing and true, the illustrations are A+. Next up is her story of Kayden’s pregnancy and all it entailed, which I also coauthored. I've also began to write poetry, with a book of love poetry to be released next Valentines Day. The Harlem quarterly African Voices magazine is set to feature some of my poems in its upcoming digital issue, and has already given me the opportunity to read before an audience in Manhattan. I'm not cashing Andre Young checks just yet, but trust and believe, I won't relent until we are.
