🍒🌲Hapi #MoorishAmericanHolyWeek1443MC y’all! 🇲🇦 January 8th – 15th is a national holiday for us, recognized by the House of Representatives at #Georgia in 2014 to read as follows: “Recognizing January 8-15, 2014, as Moorish American Holy Week at the state capitol; and for other purposes. WHEREAS, the Moorish Americans, whose ancient forefathers are the mothers and fathers of the human family, stand in these days as a comity of descendants from the ancient #Moabites and #Canaanites who were permitted by the Old Pharoahs of #Kemet to traverse from East #Africa and later formed kingdoms extending from the northwestern and southwestern shores of Africa and the #Atlantic #Islands onto the present day continental #Americas…”(House Resolution 1203 -1- L 14 LC 104 0002)
~ An Allodial American citizen is a foreign national to the United States OF America, hence an Al Merican / Al Morrocan / American citizen. international rights are reserved that should not be violated by a state whose business is in commerce, not human affairs. Mutual courtesies are to be exchanged by both ships; the Christians (Modern Europeans / Caucasians) and Moslems (Asiatics/Moors) alike for one another, until either party is in dishonor, of which the corporate united states is guilty of for processing human beings under labels like “black”, “negro”, and “colored” classifications to conceal nationality inheritance of the aborigenes. ~
Amerikkka documents the experience of being Black under the rule of American Colonialism, where police officers are branded as public servants whose task is “to protect & serve”. The question is; protect and serve whom, what, and why? It is today’s common knowledge that certain communities are given favorable protection over others, particularly Caucasians, Anglo-Saxons, and the assimilated. Wealthy citizens and areas are also prioritized for reasons of profit, yet there happens to be a much more sinister side to law enforcement that is deeply rooted in oppression, thievery, indentured servitude, chattel slavery (aka “Slave Patrol”), and the Ku Klux Klan.
What does it feel like to be Black in Amerikkka? G Perico let’s you know; “Clearly it’s the law breaking the law”, he says. The South Central, L.A. rapper has established himself as one of the most promising voices in West Coast Hip Hop, bravely addressing this place we call the United States. As Tupac’s classic words insinuate, life “Ain’t Nothin’ But a Gangsta Party”. Outside of one’s typical idea of a “gangsta”, it’s important to zero in on those rarely highlighted corporate gangsters and their cronies as gangstas at their own gangsta party. Consider that what may seem an entity designed to “protect & serve” (alongside other aspects of the “Justice” system) are mostly operated via persecution of the poor and from profiteering off of prisoners exploited in the Prison Industrial Complex- some of which are not truly guilty of any crime. Such exploitation amongst officials in powerful positions and their corrupt friends ruin any “just” intention, begging the question of who the actual “gangsta” is and where the true threat lies. Who is really bullying whom and what are the benefits?
As on of three members in the rap group G-Worthy, the project features the Amerikkka single produced by League Of Starz producer Dupri. G- Perico’s reflection on existing within the confines of American oppression offers insight on the feeling of life under Colonial Law and its rippling effects on Al Moroccans. Songs like these introduce us to asking questions about how Al Morocco became Amerikkka and why it’s nearly impossible to trust a Cop no matter how much one might wish to let their guard down.
Check out Amerikkka and stay tuned for a major announcement in the near future.
To experience the night with one of few Superstars who have managed to stay leveled at high altitudes was like a refreshing breath of crisp air permeating the Peppermint Club. The intimate ambiance felt like where we’d be if Keyshia Cole invited us into a plush 1960’s living room. Special guests included fellow Oakland comrads like Kamaiyah and several friends of hers who were in attendance for the evening’s listening party.
Properly titled 11:11 Reset, her newest project delves into love, life, loss and rebirth with records like “Best Friend”, “Act Right”, “Ride” (a personal fav), “Vault” (another fav) and “Emotional”. Penned in collaboration with the likes of veteran songwriters like Eric Dawkins and Rock City, a few guests on the project include Kamaiyah (whose feature is fuego!), Yung Thug, Kanye West, Remy Ma, and French Montana.
Keyshia even let us into her personal space for a moment’s time, sharing with us which songs were her favorite, what she hopes her next blessing will be, and just how sexy she’ll get for the object of her affection. From droppin’ it low and taking us high to nailing every note like the pro that she is, her groove was on point and the event might as well have had concert tickets for sale! It felt like a chill, holiday house party where strangers felt like longtime friends and season’s greetings were abundant.
