SO WHAT IS ARTISTIC GROWTH. IS IT JUST WRITING ON NEW TOPICS SUCH AS I AM A POET WHO NO LONGER WRITES ABOUT BLACK TOPICS BECAUSE I AM GROWING. GREAT BUT HOW ABOUT ACTUALLY WRITING BETTER AS I LISTEN TO YOUR WORK LAST YEAR DO I HEAR THE GROWTH IN SKILL AND CONTENT . AT THE END OF 2006 I PUT OUT MY THIRD SPOKENWORD CD THE FINAL CALL AND I FEEL AS THOUGH AS I UP THE ANTE ON MYSELF AS A WRITER AND ARTIST.SUBJECT MATTER VARIED ON THE CD. THERE WAS THE POEM MISEDUCATION OF THE NEGRO BASED ON THE BOOK BY CARTER G. WOODSON,AS SOCIAL COMMENTARY THAT IS VERY RELEVENT TODAY,GOD FOR PRESIDENT A POEM ON SPIRITUALITY,FATHERLESS CHILD THE STORY OF BLACK MEN WHO LIKE MYSELF GREW UP FATHERLESS,NOTORIOUS P.O.E.T A POEM USING BIGGIE SMALLS LINES TO SPEAK ON MY LIFE AND IDEALISMS,AND THE FINAL CALL; THESE POEMS HAVE BEEN RECITED UP AND DOWN THE EAST COAST TO GOOD TO GREAT RESPONSES.AS FOR THOSE WHO ONLY LISTEN LIVE AND THERE WERE POEMS NEVER RECITED ONSTAGE SUCH AS,CONVERSATIONS,LOVE POEM AND SHE SAID THAT THOSE WHO BROUGHT THE CD ACTUALLY SAID WERE THERE FAVORITE TRACKS.THAT CD GOT ME NOMINATED FOR TWO AWARDS THE PHILLY HIP HOP HONORS AND THE ATLANTIC CITY ALTERNATIVE SOUL AWARD. BUT ALL THE TIME PEOPLE WHO CAME INTO MY CIRCLE PRIOR TO THE RELEASE RARELY SUPPORTED THIS PROJECT THEY NEVER TOOK TIME TO LISTEN OR OFFER ANY SUPPORT.AS I GAIN MORE OPPORTUNITTIES RADIO,TV,NEWS WRITE UP AND MOST OF ALL THE 10,000 MEN RALLY PERFORMANCE THAT I SAW THOUSANDS OF MY BROTHERS SHOW LOVE GIVING ME A STANDING OVATION AT THE LIACOURAS CENTER . AND IN THE PROCESSS SEEN THAT NEW FRIENDS WERE SUSPECT. I NEEDED MORE THAN HANDSHAKES AND HUGS WHERE WAS THE REAL BACKING.BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS.SHOUT OUT K D MORRIS AND MAXX STEEL PRODUCERS OF THE FINAL CALL.I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT PROJECT...SEE YOU IN THE FALL
