Blessed Love One and ALL. Whats up..

Been painting steady and there are so many new paintings coming out. Under wraps, but look out for new works with musicians that we all love. Lots of new music projects as well, finishing an album together Visceral View, and a Hip Hop project with Jah Ivan out of Spain, as well as Underwater out of Belgium.  Some singles that will be released soon and there’s another album finished… All I can say is that this will be a great Summer.

InI will also be publishing books, something that ones can carry in their pocket. The style will be publishing a political cartoon “Zine” as well as collected essays about Rastafari and Black Liberation. I encourage others to link and to do the same. The importance of education in creative forms that are personal speak more than quoting others sometimes. Though, His Imperial Majesty stands alone, we each have a perspective that is important to the fullness when focused. Honor to the publishers of the Word of Jah, Frontline Books, distribution and Publishing, Ras Sakuo,  Ras John, in Chicago, royal salute.

Give thanks for the Almighty Creator, The One that is The POWER and Virtue, The Trinue King who rules the Heaven and the Earth. Adoni JAH Rastafari. Haile Selassie the First King Alpha.

One which is international, and 1984 is a sample of what German Producer Imanuel Ihi D brings to the table, it is a Roots album. Thick with poetry and substance, New York, Trinidadian Producer Omar Benevolent will be leading with meditative beats and contemplative sounds. That album, titled, “Conquer Fear.” is being finalized and cleaned up by Diles of Visceral View. Big Up Jose Martinez of LightWorkers Productions for the mastering. “1984″ Ras Elijah Tafari. Produced by Imanuel IHI D & By The River Productions

The album that has the furthest release date is being made totally by Visceral View, and features the unique meld of Hip Hop and Funk to make creative and true to Hip Hop sounds with a Rastafari message of goodness. InI have been on three previous collab albums with Viseral View, who makes a annual album called Green Chile in the Air. Below are three tunes from the last three years. This Year will be very exciting.
