In 2005, I was selected as a contestant on the #ESPN gameshow, #StumpTheSchwab . It was a shock to stump the great Howie Schwab & appear on 2 episodes. We kept in touch & became great friends. His graciousness & humility was inspiring. Rest In Paradise, Sir.

Support artists. Purchase the downloads online or purchase their CD’s or Vinyl. There’s a huge difference between streams and sales. I personally still think we should join the actors and writers in striking.

Al Haymon should be on the @boxinghall of Fame ballot. That really shouldn't be debatable. He has had well over two decades of the highest level of influence in #boxing . Polarizing? So what. Whatever narratives you advance, he belongs on the ballot and is a future Hall of Famer.

Happy 50th Bornday, Hip-Hop Culture!

5 years ago today, I released my debut album 'Eclectic Excursions', what a moment in my life & very proud of the musical creation exhibited. I have to give my gratitude to the participants on this Labor of Love! Check out the album: nsiuniversal.bandcamp.com/album/eclectic…

I had the honor and privilege to work with the iconic Mr. Harry Belafonte. He was one of the most gracious people I've met. Mr. Belafonte was one of the most prolific figures of the 20th Century himself and he represented Black Excellence in the highest form.
Rest In Power Sir.
