As promised, I will be giving you a taste of some Chicago Hip Hop artist only. I know I could celebrate and show-off Ye, Common, Lupe, and Chance, just to name a few. They are all from Chicago. I selected to give you even more great music so that you can be aware of what you've been missing, or for you to just add good music to your library. Don't be shy about listening to their other songs. I believe most of the artist are still active. These particular artists have been in the game for 20 years or more. They work behind the scenes and in front.

If ya don't know, now you know. Vice has been plugged in the background and in the front as an MC, writing and producing nothing but that "bobbing head music" we enjoy vibing to.

"How about you call me after nine" because I ain't got no minutes. We all used to say this! This song resonated so well with how we all acted, when we didn't have enough minutes to talk on our cellphones back in the day. Que Billah was an artist who mixed comedy with real social issues we have in our world. Its half pass the time for you to get an unlimited talk and text message plan on your phone. I'm just saying! 😂😂😂

My favorite is "Cook Dem Gritz by Code F.I. babee! I like the dance the kids made up. The beats are fat. The production team and artist were dope. The entire video was a hit! If you listen to this song one time, you will be singing it all day long. It's catchy. They were actually making light of how drastically sad and depressing the music industry has become. You can make a song about bull*** and folks will buy it! Google Code F.I. You're going to be surprised of what you've missed out on.

I saved the best lyricist for last. Notice how she is the only female representing the Chi. Lah Tere is her name. Lah is full of power and love. She will empower you to stand up, take action, and to move.

SBhiphop just won't stop. This brotha is from Chicago. He was born and raised in these hip hop streets. He kind of reminds you of that Common energy. SB is always spitting something major in your ear. SB is creative and positive. Check out his other music.

Cornelia Bowen is definitely a Power-Pretty Mama you should know about. You can add Ms. Bowen to your list of studies. Especially for young people. Bowen was born on rich soil in Tuskegee, Alabama. Her mother was a slave on the very land that became the Tuskegee Institute. Cornelia owed property. Of course, Cornelia and her mom inherited their last names from a man with the name of Bowen, who owned the plantation, now known and developed as The Tuskegee University. This is a historically black college. Cornelia eventually became an educator with a phenomenal appetite to advance the welfare of her people. Yes! God was with her! Bowen had a mission to treat the minds of little black boys and girls with black excellence. Cornelia left the Tuskegee Institute and founded the Mount Meigs Colored Institute and the Mt. Meigs Negro Boys Reformatory Schools. Her magic was spreading everywhere. Cornelia was very strategic. She was an effective leader.  Bowen taught the girls at her school cooking and how to sew. She also taught the boys how to farm and be better husbands. She passionately and powerfully deposited seeds of ownership into their brains. Cornelia Bowen was very active on many boards and clubs. She also was a founding member of the Afro-America Women’s League. Incidentally, Booker T. Washington just happened to be an impactful mentor that she was honored to have.

As Cornelia grew older, she decided to give her schools over to the State of Alabama. Why in the world did she do that? The State of Alabama renamed her schools so many times. The Alabama Reform School for Juvenile Negro Law-Breakers was named by the State of Alabama after they took over management of Ms. Bowen's labor of love. Due to the State of Alabama being in charge of the schools, they went down in every way possible. They stripped away any form of real education. Unlike Cornelia, the State of Alabama could care less about melanated kids. Nothing has really changed. If you have kids in 2023, and you're not attentive to what's going on, shame on you because the school to prison pipeline is alive and well. If Cornelia was still here, she would undoubtedly fight against "them" lusting after placing melanated kids in jail. The "other kids" get counseling and understanding for their behaviors. 

There is a lawyer and journalist by the name of Josie Rice Duffy who did some extensive research concerning Mount Meigs. Josie created a podcast called Unreformed to explore the horrific abuse black children experienced when they were sent to Mount Meigs. Josie has contact with some of the kids who are now grown, and they openly discuss what happened to them at those schools. That kind of treatment wasn't part of Cornelia Bowen vision. After the state took over the conditions were awful. The survivors of Mount Meigs said it was like child slavery. It took a turn for the worse. They always want to try testing our humanity.
Cornelia Bowen was the sequel to loving her people. What about you?

​Please miss me with your tall glass of chemical toxins known as BS. Why don’t you drink it! Those of you who openly and surreptitiously sob over melanated people’s human rights to speak on our pain, our consistent troubles as black or melanated Americans in this United States of America, and us remembering our history, can continue to do it! Go ahead! Keep having those stanky, funky, pissy thoughts. We have no choice but to overcome and endure, so masticate on that! I hope you bite your tongue while doing it!

You say, we are always playing the race card. You say those black people are always acting like they’re the victim. You say that you didn’t have anything to do with slavery. Perhaps that is plausible, but you benefit from it every day, all day long, due to your European ancestors! It happened so long ago! Just get over it! Listen to one of your best phrases. Black women are the “Angry Black Woman.” YOU GOTTA BE F*CKIN KIDDING ME, RIGHT? Black women have every single right to be an “Angry Black Woman” if they choose to be. Collectively, they are not! Have you ever paid attention to how this country treats melanated women? Please stay hydrated and focused. I am only speaking about black women right now! 

Melanated black women have saved everyone but themselves. Do not make me unleash the heroic episodes of what she has done for the Democratic Party. Oh yeah! Historically, black women defended this country. Melanated women have further advanced medical research for Europeans. They used and abused black slaves and even melanated women to this day, as experiments. Have you read Medical Apartheid? This book was linked to a melanated bookstore, but it has been removed for some reason. This government system of white supremacy, purposely put white supremacist moods and tones in place so melanated women could be single moms as they grew and planted seeds of drugs in our corners of communities. They locked up our men and boys! Then they boldly showed us all their true feelings of real hypocrisy as they destroyed our families for selling the weed (marijuana) they're getting rich off of. These law makers made marijuana legal. They have now given European men the favor of being millionaires in the cannabis industry, while our family members are still locked up for selling or for the distribution of weed. YOU GOTTA BE F*CKIN KIDDING ME, RIGHT? So, black women HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE ANGRY! Also, by chance, did you or any of your family members have laws enacted so that your kids and even you, yourself can wear hairstyles freely or naturally? I’ll wait! Tick…tick…tick! No! I didn’t think you did. Melanated people had to get the Crown Act passed!

I am so not surprised about the State of Mississippi passing laws of Jim Crow in 2023 to make their state “great again” for the Europeans. I will dress up as an actress and act like I am surprised, but I am not. They want to annihilate any power or influence melanated people have in Jackson, Mississippi. Oh, my goodness! Where are all of those Republicans and Democrats? Why aren’t they talking against this. Why aren’t they taking action! Why haven’t Joe and Kamala been to Mississippi? Is the United States Supreme Court going to strike down these illegal injunctions? Wait, is anyone doing anything? Why is everyone so quiet? Obviously, nothing was done. Unfortunately, the bill passed already. YOU GOTTA BE F*CKIN KIDDING ME, RIGHT? Naw, there is no kidding around in these dirty chapters. The white legislators in Jackson, Mississippi want to control and terrorize melanated black people but hey, slavery was so long ago.

To those individuals with a heavy dose of lust who love to change the narrative and sing their stupid songs with no rhythm at all, who keep saying black folks need to stop complaining. Slavery was so long-ago dude! It never stopped in Mississippi! Those white folks understand that the majority of people in Jackson, Mississippi are melanated people. This should be prohibited into 100 degrees of illegal. I don’t even know how they pulled it off. These white folks who are in love with Jim Crow want to take melanated people voting rights away. They want all of the melanated people policed by all white officers. In addition, they want only white people controlling the judicial system and criminal justice system. This is unconstitutional. Why on earth do they believe they can control the majority of the melanated people who live in Jackson? Oh, I know why, because Mississippi have always thrived in their white supremacy benefits. Joe Biden too busy giving all of our American dollars to the Ukrainians, so his own Americans are not on his agenda. Shame on you Kamala. Double shame on a judicial system that is supposed to uphold the law. How is it even possible for anyone in the state of Mississippi to bring back Jim Crow portions of racism? Melanated people really need to wake all the way up. Jackson, how did this happen? Did you guys know about this in advance? I bet they still got the nerve to say melanated people are playing the victim! Excuse you! We are victorious but it comes with a price. It drains us mentally. We are victors not victims. Stop acting like you don’t know who we are! You know our truth!
​
Are you experiencing housing discrimination in 2023 with a twist of redlining on top? Do you ever have to ask your black friends to pretend like they are buying your home for you so you can get the right value it is worth as Europeans? Do your sons get racially profiled all the time? Are your sons pulled over by the police if the officer notices that your son has four other European males in the car? Do you and your family members have to fight for your voting rights during this era of the twentieth century? Have any of your ancestors ever been lynched and their death put on postcards? Have you and your family been a target for eugenics? Did melanated people profit from your ancestors being slaves? Do you and your family members experience police brutality? Do you or any people in your community pay more insurance rates than melanated people? Where do you live? Did gentrification affect you and your family? What about any racial massacres? Do black women named Karenah ever bother you or constantly call the police on you for living at an address, going to school, trying to do your job or just exist as Europeans! Do you think animals have more rights than you and your melanated Americans? What do you think?
 
None of what I just previously mentioned applies to you if you are European. You have benefited from white supremacy, which is a system of government founded by your founding fathers. It’s not your fault! You were born into it.They are not my founding fathers. They didn’t even think black folks were human beings. All of the Jim Crow legislators and the KKK board members are still living or lived a full life. Melanated freedom fighters were all assassinated. We know that our unity terrifies this system. This is why our beloved freedom fighters were all murdered. We know we have to remain in unity. We are getting there. We know we have to support melanated women and men. We know that we have to work on being self-sufficient and eating better for our bodies. We totally understand the spiritual ramifications of warfare.

Music and good food naturally heal most people. I can attest that it helps me, a lot! Pray for me because I am so greedy. Music helps in every situation of our lives. In honor of June being Black Music Month, I wanted to share the black excellence that dominates the industry. This year I will be introducing you to some of the local Chicago artist. Of course, I will have your slow jams, hip hop, and gospel to celebrate the occasion. 
​
You will always get to unwind with very good music in our culture. Black Music Month is exactly what it states. It is music designed to venerate melanated music and melanated culture. Liberty and justice are still parts of the agenda. As mentioned out in the HuffPost, the idea behind selecting June as Black Music Month came from President Jimmy Carter. It was further pushed into legislation by music producer Kenny Gamble and his ex-wife Mrs. Dyana Williams. Dyana is known as the Godmother of Black Music Month as noted by Ebony. Our interest is still resistance.

The Black national anthem will start us off. ✊🏿 ✊🏾

Yes, I have decided to kick off Black Music Month every year in June by playing this sancti-fly video. We are just dope!
