Farewell Majesty Fundraiser
Donation protected
Peace everyone, some of you know me some of you don't. Some of you will support, some of you wont. Either way I have nothing but love for you.
Over the last 20 years I've been a Hip-Hop performance artist based in NYC. Early on I learned that I could use my talents and life experience to support others in need and for the last 10 years I've dedicated myself to social justice movements and supporting/building institutions that cultivate other's talent. I've been blessed to achieve so much and each year has been more productive than the last. I've been able to tour 10 states and 5 countries all with no record deal or financial backing. I've facilitated workshops in youth detention centers, mentored formerly incarcerated youth, taught at middle schools and colleges, and have supported my community in the Bronx via the Justice Committee's Cop Watch program.
Despite the blessings I've been chronically homeless for most of my adult life. As most of you know being an artist/activist in NYC can be a difficult journey. I think back to 4 years ago when I was living in a brick warehouse with no temperature control and no shower. Working a low wage survival job and wondering everyday if my co-workers could smell me. In those moments I never imagined my career would take such a positive turn and build the momentum that it has. The last 4 years have been the most fruitful of my life and I've been able to make tremendous strides. Hosting End Of The Weak (NYC's longest weekly running open-mic) and founding Legendary Cyphers which in 3 short years has reinvigorated NYC in miraculous ways. I've also had the honor and priviledge to work intimately with families whose loved ones have been killed by the NYPD as well as do international solidarity work in Cuba and Palestine.
I have been diligently working on completing my debut album "The Rebirth Of Alchemy" and have come to a point where to complete and release the album, funding will be neccesary. Simultaneously, I have been blessed with a life changing opportunity to relocate to Las Vegas, live a more sustainable life, and be able to work more effectively as a creative and an activist.
Your contributions will not only empower me, they will allow me to pay fair wages to others for their work to accomplish the following:
1)Mix and master my debut album "The Rebirth Of Alchemy"
2)Create visuals to accompy the album
3)Press physical copies of the album
4)Cover the cost of my relocation to Las Vegas where I already have employment opportunities and will be able to thrive in ways I've only ever dreamed of.
I love New York City. It has made me who I am today. I carry all of you and my experiences in my heart and in my words everywhere I go. You have provided transformational opportunities that have cultivated my gifts in amazing ways. I now humbly ask that you support me in this new chapter and transition in my life. With your help I know there is nothing that can't be accomplished.
When donating please include your email address and your physical address in the message so I can send you a small token of appreciation.
