Her Love...
With arms outstretched, she reaches for me.The warmest, most tender yet strongest embrace that anyone can ever experience.
And she shares it with us all. No one feels less-than in her presence.
No judgement, because she knows that God takes care of that.
Those hands that taught me to sew.
Taught us to rejoice in church pews.
Taught us all to put our palms together, every night, and pray...
The voice that chided my mischievous deeds.
The same voice I looked forward to speaking to, every Spring .
The same sweet voice that knew my name with her eyes closed, even in her last days...
She succeeded. God's plan is filled with love, and she gave it. She became a best friend to the most innocent and, that can never be forgotten.
Oh, I will always miss you, Grandmom.
Are You A Game Changer?
I saw this clip on worldsstar, kinda surprised that it was on there! These are the newest faces in industry music. Janelle Monae, Lupe Fiasco(who has been a hip-hop staple for years), B.O.B. and Estelle. What makes them 'game changers' is their ability not to bend or break or fit a mold:Love it! Catching little 'diamonds' like these in my web-surfing makes me feel like my music is not done in vain...
'So Many Words'- produced by I Double L
Here it is!! The first master off of the Just My Thoughts album and, an installment for the No Love Lost Mixtape:
This track was written by me, B.Fly and produced by I Double L. I was sitting in my room one night, not able to sleep when I went on his reverbenation site and heard this beat. I had to have it! So, here is the lovechild. What do you think?
Download and enjoy!
'Day 8...'
To my favorite internet friend-We barely know each other yet, you challenge me with new words- some of which I never knew the meaning to. You're not a facebook, myspace or twitter friend. Just a wordfeud opponent and that's probably the best part! You're not all hype over who said what and why, you just wanna play scrabble on the phone...
Super dope!
No stress. No assumptions, just words.
Just the game. It's refreshing.
Thank you!
Tracks...
Finished a track today! Although I was very excited, I had a little difficulty with the 'life' of the music.Sometimes, you may try so hard to get the tempo and lyrics down, that you forget the emotion in a piece. It's okay! It happens.
My best suggestion is to remember where those lyrics came from. Remember when you wrote them down and what you were feeling like. Then lay that THANG down!! :)
Anyway, the track is called 'Summer' and, it will be on a new mixtape by Joseph Hallman! An extremely talented classical composer, teacher and performer. He's also from my hometown, PHILADELPHIA!! Check his site HERE.
And remember, LIFE!
Day 7...
Day 7 is to the Ex.While it's easy to place blame for how my life is currently shaped, I won't. Because you're no longer apart of it...
However, I will say that the aftermath of 9 years has not been pleasant. I mean, damn! I've been alone, involved, happy, sad; and through all these stages in life, I've managed to blame myself completely. Clearly there were two people involved and clearly, both of those people had issues that we couldn't overlook.
As selfish as it may sound, I no longer care about you. That's my way of dealing. The disadvantage(s) of that mentality has adversely affected current relationships. By relationships, I mean intimate and otherwise. Relationships dealing with my family, friends and the significant other.
But I'm still not mad with you. I still can't wrap my logic around what others think should be the definition of blame. We're adults, and we must deal with life and the way it has come to be. I refuse to use our past as a crutch because all that matters is today and tomorrow.
I wish you the best in yours, Sincerely.
Happy New Year...
After finally getting settled in, I figured out what my solid resolution will continuously be. Over the past couple of years, I have seen my own growth and have also attempted to prove it to others. No more. If the change is real, it will show.I took a much need walk today. After being sick for almost two weeks, the sun on my face and the cold air hitting my skin was much needed. My 'sick days' definitely did not help with inspiration or work...
Which leads me to my resolution: to look in the mirror. Yea, easier said than done for me. Simply put- to attack myself with motivation before I can even imagine inspiring others. Sometimes, we need to put the fire under our own asses before we take the torch outside.
Let 2011 begin!

Day 6...
You may know me.I don't know you yet.
But I feel we've met long ago.
No past life flow. No silly reincarnated stories of anguish.
See, you're a stranger to me and, no stranger words have been said- you are who I see.
In my thoughts
In my dreams
In my mirror
You succeed to make yourself known.
To look right thru me.
And as much as I try to deny who you are
My eyes are your eyes
We share the same soul.
I haven't tapped into the beauty that is you. I know.
So day after day,I make it a goal.
To get up, and get into who you are.
Our gaze intertwined.
No longer feeling forced.
No longer deemed lazy, or running, or weak...
I laugh and I cry and I smile.
And I stare.
Hypnotized because you are a reflection of who I can be!
Who I am becoming...
I stare. In awe.
Knowing that people go thru their entire lives not seeing their stranger.
I know I'm blessed.
Refuse to second guess.
Sometimes question, why I let me become the stranger.
And when I no longer see you as the stranger pieces of me is the day we finally meet.

You Love Me...
I bore easily.But when it comes to you,
there is something not-so-new,
that takes over me.
I can't explain
the unthinkable strain you have over me.
Never do I ever want you to let go of me.
Your words, they flow deep and it is thru me
That I will express all the love you have given me,
You see my Music, it comforts me
In ways that I never knew it could for me.
And before I discovered it,
it discovered me.
Now,
As I sit with this impromptu blog,
aka, my lyrically melody,
Under the dark blue sky,
the streetlights blinding me.
I let my fingers walk across the keyboard gently...
My mind, infinitely in your grasp and
this is how you've continuously treated me!
So as I write thee,
I'm taking out the time
to appreciate you loving me.
I know my music loves me.
Because there is no place in this world
that you would not take me!
And all you've ever asked was for me to be me.
And thru you I can be complete.
From A Distance...
...and as I watch the starsfrom afar I wonder...
Will it be me?
Should I even question
the distance of it's reality?
Will I be placed among them
instead of looking up at their amazing grace and,
in that space,
that empty space
is my place in the sky.
Prepared, polished and ready
when I feel the fear is gone and
its my time.
The days pass,
the work flows and,
from a distance I truly know that
the empty space that I see
is reserved for me.
Interview...
A few weeks ago, I was interviewed by the lovely Tunisia Engram for her segment called, Lyrically Speaking' for a new locally-based show called 'In The Midst'. The show airs on Comcast channel 66 and Verizon channel 29 every Wednesday at 1pm.
It was a great experience and I'm so appreciative that she even thought of me!
Catch me at the 12:44 mark:)

Enjoy!
Networking...
I went to homecoming this past weekend. I worked my butt off! I spoke to all my friends and fellow musicians that went to Clark Atlanta University. Gained a few brilliant connections and validated the value of networking- even if you think you know people already, you don't know what they've done. You don't really know what a person has been up to unless you speak with them and see them in action!It pays to talk. With substance and confidence.
It also pays to keep in touch. I will do just that!
