somewhereinmakitownz asked: Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you for showing the world your art; it's not only inspired me but it's made me look at some aspects of life differently. So thank you sir :D

In a way I quite understand why some people are put off by Theology. I remember once when I had been giving a talk to the R.A.F., an old, hard-bitten officer got up and said, ‘I’ve no use for all that stuff. But, mind you, I’m a religious man too.

WatchThe homie, Miss Jennah Bell, getting busy. I forget sometimes how exceptional her songwriting is, and then I hear tracks like this. Sister has bars.
somethingnavy-deactivated201108 asked: it has certainly been a struggle for me, but seeing people that show there love for God publicly helps more than anything. After seeing some of your post it has just inspired me to seek his face more and more.
comfyinmycoolness asked: Thrift stores where? In NYC? I have a hard time thrifting in NYC. But then again I haven't done so in a while, maybe now would be a great time to try again.
piecederesistancee asked: I really wanna come and see you guys on the Striver's Row perform on August 16th. for my birthday. Where/how can I get tickets?
leggy-freda asked: are you guys ever going to come to new orleans?
