Over the last weeks, I’ve come across some amazing music, both known and unknown artists. Last week, I wanted to bring you the first of two recent artists and new music offerings, until a certain Ms. Mara Hruby changed that up. Well the first of those artists is the aforementioned The Weeknd. You can download “House Of Balloons” here.

Blue Lines, Das EFX, Do You Want More?!!!??!, Key Yemaya Walker, Myla Wyndham, Philadelphia, Silent Treatment, The Bronx, The Roots, Tower Records

I remember stumbling across this song and The Roots when I saw this on Yo MTV Raps. I had heard on loved their track “Distortion To Static,” but I was shocked to hear something like this, and further shocked when I found out that their album “Do You Want More?!!!??!” was their second album.
I was later lucky enough to see them live and free at Tower Records around Lenox when my friend (God rest her soul) a buyer there scheduled their in store performance.
Enjoy!!!

Intro/Chorus: repeat 2X

Girl you know that you need
to stop givin’ me the silent.. treatment baby
Can’t you see what you mean to me?
I wanna love you constantly, but you keep neglecting me
And treating me silently,
Girl you know that you need
to stop givin’ me the silent.. treatment baby
Can’t you see what you mean to me?
I wanna love you constantly, but you keep neglecting me
And treating me silently,

Verse One: BlackThought

Yo, I had a Queen named Amina, height 5’7″
Caramel-complected, body like heaven,
Met her through the sister of my man Big Vince,
Like some s–t from out the flicks we been in love ever since,
She called me her chocolate brotha, I call her my sugar sista,
Knew Shorty could work it since before I ever kissed her,
I never dissed her, painted my picture to hit,
But because sex she wasn’t with, she started flippin an’ s—t,
Like, “Listen man, I’m Queen Amina, Amina’s not no freak and,
that game is weak and keep tryin to hit I could quit speakin,’
Tariq in fact, you bein BlackThought don’t get ya closer,
I dig ya but won’t bone ya because I’m so-called supposed ta,
Most o’ them would, but that couldn’t be me, that’s not my flava,
Go home and think about that, maybe later on I’ll page ya…”
I contemplated, and then concluded she was bluffin,
Steady pursuin’ screwin,’ getting’ nothin’ but the silent treatment Continue reading →

Blue Lines Blog – Poetry – “I Promise…”

Blue Lines, Key Yemaya Walker, poetry, Prose

I promise you…
Truth, when you have lies,
Smiles, when you have tears,
Hugs, to quell your fears,
Hope, that what I say is real
Life, when despair is near,
Future, when Today seems unfair,
Kiss, to know my heart is dear,
The Promise, that I am near,
All I have, is what I am,
Are you…

The manuscript Blue Lines is the fictional coming of age narrative of a young California woman Key Yemaya Walker, and her 2 year growing journey through school, love, and life period piece, written by Kenneth Suffern, Jr., taking place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between the years of 1997 – 1998. Loosely based on true events, and experiences during that time, told through the eyes and voice of the main female protagonist, a freshman first attending the school.
