Your Latest project is titled Community Project Tell us about it.
|
|
The Blessed Man
|
The idea behind the Album is really to reach out more into the community and give an alternative to the Negativity that is so evident across the communities. The Bible teaches in Romans 5 verse 20 that where Sin abounded Grace abounded much more so we need to reach out to the Drug Dealers, the Armed Robbers and trust in God for their Deliverance. Typically the songs in the Album for example ‘’ Stay in School”, ‘’Stop the Violence’’, and “Street Life” speaks against the Negativity.

What are your favourite tunes on the CD and why?
|
|
The Blessed Man
|
All the songs on the Album are very special and each song is strong enough to be released as a Single but I must say that I have a particular liking to the Track ‘’Hello” because it sets off the Album well.

What advice would you give to groups, soloists, the young rapper, writer or producer who may be struggling?
|
|
The Blessed Man
|
They must be persistent and consistent with their project. The struggle is only for now, there will come a time when it will become much easier to do what they are doing. With everything, the beginning is usually the most difficult but this is what usually makes or breaks the project.
