Mothers make this world go round quite literally and my mother was my entire world. I am a Mama's Boy so I wrote this song for her, because of her. It's now available exclusively on Traxsource.com. Love and respect to all the mothers and mothering folks out there. Happy Mother's Day! @traxsource @globalsoulmusic #mamasaid #libation #globalsoulmusic

Today is Master Teacher @ianfriday 's birthday. โ™‰๏ธ And instead of us throwing him a party, he's going to throw one for all of us. That's the kind of person Ian is. Libation Head Honcho with Thirty-plus years as one of the architects of soulful house, as a producer, DJ, and an artist who believes music is medicine. His energy on the floor is something you have to feel to understand. We are celebrating him properly on May 22nd. Come wish him a happy birthday on the dancefloor.

I love to create and those that create. Sometimes the most gifted seem to be the most in tuned to the God frequency, whose antennae are primed and ready to receive. These transmissions can come through dreams, whispers, inspiration...It takes work, craft, discipline to bring life into these flickers of godliness. These works of art. I woke up one morning hearing a message from my mother (who's on the other side) saying to me, "if you want to be different then you have to do different". I was having a challenging time then and it was the message that I needed to hear. I wrote the song "Mama Said" as a way to deliver her message to me, to share it with you all. "Mama Said" by Ian Friday will drop on May 7th exclusively on Traxsource just in time for Mother's Day. Thank you Mom for always being there for me. @globalsoulmusic @saintjamesjoy #globalsoulmusic #newmusic #dopejam #mamasaid

Join us as we fundraise for Black Panther political prisoners and families in Sudan and Palestine. As members of the imperial core, it is of the utmost importance that we put our money where our mouth is and show up for our comrades inside and abroad. As usual, bring your dancing shoes for the DJs and your wallets for the mutual aid market. We are getting down.

So many moments So much laughter So many shared dreams So much music So much love But not enough to fill the hole that you've left behind, the hole that you left in me. And I'm so mad at you So mad at myself for all of the things that we've left undone. I feel schizophrenic really because I am so so grateful for all the gifts that you shared with me. All the lessons that you taught. You used to thank me for stopping you from quitting but without you I wouldn't have started this crazy music journey. Music production, songwriting we held each other's hand and leapt into the unknown. You gave me the courage to try, demanded my best gently and we created fearlessly like children. Had all those musicians in my house recording. What a time we had and they all came for you out of respect for your talented ass. And I don't know why or what to do now. Perhaps God just needs more light warriors on the other side to combat all the darkness over here. Your light will always shine, you are no longer an angel in disguise. I love you Maritri, you will never be forgotten. "All is good and life is beautiful when you see the world through eyes of love" - Maritri @maritrimusic
