Over the past 3 weeks, two albums have been released by two extremely talented crooners. In 2003, I had the opportunity to travel the world with these guys and it is my honor to see them take the R&B charts by storm. So, its only right that I blog about my famous friends. Ya dig?<br />
<br />
Ruben Studdard's "Letters From Birmingham," is the former Idol winners newest work. This album expresses Studdard's rediscoverd life as a bachelor as he croons out his sentiments relating to his recent divorce. The album includes writings from my favorite writer, Sir Harold Lily, production from Alabama's own Black Elvis, and a feature from Chrisette Michelle. You can find it on iTunes here http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/letters-from-birmingham/id503652800<br />
<br />
Check out one of my favorite tracks. <br />

This may be his rookie album, but by no means is Lonny Bereal a rookie to the music game. His name rings around this country with some of the largest superstars in the game. He has traveled as a background singer with artist such as Kelly Rowland, Tyrese, Jamie Foxx, and many more. But now he is on his own and The Love Train is definitely on track. Lonny is one of the most versatile singers I've ever witnessed and this album definitely shows it. Check it out on iTunes here http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/lonny-bereal/id436374727<br />

Due to the over saturation of music and artist in this capitalistic society, there are rare opportunities for me to find albums that not only sound good, but have a spiritual effect on me. I know those albums when I hear them because they ignite creativity. I have been in search for an album that is genuine and uncontaminated by the industry. Not influenced by the drive for mainstream, just pure unadulterated TRUTH! Over the past two weeks, I have found two albums that do just that. Allow me to share.<br />
<br />

Robert Glasper, 32 year old Houston native is far from a rookie to the scene. The Urban "Thelonius Monk" combines jazz stylings with a new soulful hip hop vibe that is sure to re freshen the genres. His roots extend to artist such as Kanye West, Bilal, ?uestlove, Q-Tip and a host of others. His new release, "Black Radio," is nothing short of a Groove. The album has an Allstar Soul cast featuring: Erykah Badu, Bilal, Lupe Fiasco, Lalah Hathaway, Shafiq Husayn (Sa-Ra), KING, Ledisi, Chrisette Michele, Musiq Soulchild, Meshell Ndegeocello, Stokley Williams (Mint Condition), and yasiin bey. Its an album that you can play from top to bottom. I threatened to whip @lalahhathaway with my mamma's belt last week for her rendition of Sade's "Cherish the Day." Check it out here, then go get the album.<br />

A couple of weeks ago, my good friend Gerrond told me to check out Ole Borud because it would change my life. So I go to my Spotify (best place to sample albums before you buy) and pull up Borud's newest release "Keep Moving," and guess what...IT CHANGED MY LIFE! He's like an inspirational <a class="spell" href="https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=Gcx&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&sa=X&ei=3y9WT8b3L6mvsALFi4TkCQ&ved=0CBoQBSgA&q=Jamiroquai&spell=1&biw=1366&bih=598"><b><i>Jamiroquai</i></b></a> . I only intended on listening to one or two songs, and it turned into about 45 minutes of rewinding and pulling up previous works. I couldn't help but wonder "where in the hell have I been" to miss all of this. It wasn't until halfway through listening that I realized I was listening to an inspirational artist. Its sonic, it's funky, it's groovy, it's spiritual, its everything. Here are a couple of my favs.<br />

It has changed the way we communicate. I can't tell you how many times that people have gotten in touch with me quicker on Facebook rather than calling me. Instead of a text, I get a tweet. But with this new wave of communication and information it has altered the meaning of some real world interaction, especially in relationships. <br />
<br />
Today, I am about to point out a social networking flaw that could get your head busted to the white meat.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

Warning..the situation listed below is not necessarily the thoughts of one Ronya T. Baldwin. She is cooler than that. This situation has been gathered from conversations with friends. *clears throat*<br />
<br />
Situation: How many times have you scrolled your Facebook News Feeds and noticed a picture? This particular picture included a person of the opposite sex. The picture could be of this person at Disney Land, leaving for church, or eating lunch, but for whatever reason you think that it is a nice picture. Customary for Facebook users, if you think a picture is nice you click the "Like" button and keep it moving.<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/105621581360436666596/BloggerPictures?authkey=Gv1sRgCJ-Hwu2A_OS3SQ#5711968328587613570"><img border="0" height="107" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKQsHnh-nk857o3BAkzplvQ0FLjJTBp8Z3KR20CPfXDLYlC0WnrSZepF27lYplrnrfV_soe5jWEBkMdPYKsaIAcD83eY2nX0qPlZuIKLnkF5iADow-sHSMBjNOKFuTgmzfH2xBmiRC5Es/s288/10.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="242" /></a></center><br />
I have learned that before you -mash- the "Like" button there are two questions you need to ask yourself.<br />
<br />
1. Is he or she attractive?<br />
2. Is he or she fully dressed? <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/105621581360436666596/BloggerPictures?authkey=Gv1sRgCJ-Hwu2A_OS3SQ#5711968350074496690"><img border="0" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpBrQWOCIaQBjkgT3pXmBDXe8iGNTTPVdupYGe0t1VPOLzMM1z8WG_WVMTVG2HUncs2XxEp1OsKlSDJZj1zKyEYLFGS6o4y1VXbcBFMxn8iHSzqp41LlQvpNusBkpabbljhws1ZPFtl4M/s288/11.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="212" /></a></center><br />
Trust me, these two questions can save you an argument. (So you "like" dat heaux picture?) (Oh, is that what you like?) Obviously, on these sites "liking" a pic does not mean " wow, this is a nice picture." Somewhere in the cyber bowl "like" has turned into "Man, I wouldn't mind being with you." So I warn you. IF YOU LIKE A PIC, THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK!<br />

This past summer, I had the opportunity to read Russell Simmons (@UncleRush) newest writing Super Rich. Over the years, I have acquired a liking to the thoughts and actions of Simmons stemming from his success and his actions for the hip hop community. His influence is so powerful, it has transcended hip hop and is changing the world.<br />
<br />
In Super Rich, Simmons teaches readers that true wealth is internal and once it is tapped into, it has eternal ramifications. Once one gains a spiritual and/or psychological perspective on life, it will in turn affect and benefit the physical life. One of the keys to becoming Super Rich is realizing that you don't need ANYTHING.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrBAki4IdfHmjICFsLtOU89rgBda0CP-Oy2QIfG0DxxF-ikQBLCqJnBK59TrXlv83EhnZ5KK4KBuBKix7NpQa7PBtQ_arkRAH8Fyb_LpUDw6wxCtf5T7PjVhrwtGE-0DxchaRg-2Nok76B/s1600/SuperRich.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrBAki4IdfHmjICFsLtOU89rgBda0CP-Oy2QIfG0DxxF-ikQBLCqJnBK59TrXlv83EhnZ5KK4KBuBKix7NpQa7PBtQ_arkRAH8Fyb_LpUDw6wxCtf5T7PjVhrwtGE-0DxchaRg-2Nok76B/s320/SuperRich.jpg" width="212" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Also in the book, readers are educated on the importance of Dharma (service). We are here on this Earth to serve. How many times do we hear people complain about going to work or boast about chasing a dollar? On the path to becoming Super Rich, you should first, find your service to the world, love it, then give it to the world until you can't give it anymore. With this mindset, you will make yourself attractive to money, and it will FIND YOU!<br />
<br />
Being a full time musician, I should wake up working on my service to the world, whether it is practicing or performing. Instead of chasing the next dime, focus on the things that make me WORTH the next DOLLAR. Performing music with a pure heart is far more fulfilling than receiving a check with impure intentions. Don't get me wrong, I NEED THE MONEY. But I won't allow my talents to be a prisoner to money.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now that I'm done preaching, one of the most fulfilling things I do during my week is coaching Tank's (my youngest son) Upward Basketball team. When I wake up and realize its time to coach or practice I get excited. I get fulfillment from seeing the excitment of the kids. Instilling confidence and knowledge into the minds of youth gives me personal satisfaction. Participation in something so innocent provides me a contentment and solitude that the chase of money can't give.<br />
<br />
In closing, there is more to life than money. Find your service/services to the world and give it until you can't give it anymore. Love what you do, and do it with gladness. This perspective will make your being attractive to riches, and in turn everything you need to survive WILL FIND YOU!<br />

I am learning that human beings have the incredible ability to WRITE his or her DESTINY. All it takes is a plan, discipline, prayer and hard work. Christains call it Sowing and Reaping. Buddist call it Karma. However you look at it, WE have the ability to create whatever it is we want out of life.<br />
<br />
With that in mind, I remember having a long conversation with my friend Alvin Garrett (@kownbred), as he expressed his desire to be a songwriter. At the time, the conversation didn't impact me, because...#HELL all of us wanted to be songwriters, so what's your point? Garrett goes on to ask, "how can I say that I DESIRE to be a songwriter, if I don't sit down and write songs EVERYDAY?" From that day forward, dude went on a rampage of writing songs, buying equipment until he submerged himself into his desires.<br />
<br />

Two years later, I have watched Kownbred recieve placements with national recording artists such as Deitrick Hatton, Noel Gourdine, and Ruben Studdard. And on yesterday he announced that he is recieving his first Grammy nomination. WOW! This is a prime example of sowing into the Earth and watching The Universe give it back to you.<br />

I see it everyday on social networks where people address all of the "haters" in their lives. What is a hater? A hater is defined as, "a person that simply cannot be happy for another person's success. So rather than be happy they make a point of exposing a flaw in that person."<br />
<br />
Two words stick out in this definition. The first being "success." In order to have "haters", one must attain a certain amount of success. Successful people are usually hard workers and positive thinkers amongst other things. Maintaining success requires a constant grind and connection with ones higher self. On the contrary, to hate on someone," requires extra time and negative thinking and a connection with ones lower self. Haters usually are not very successful people.<br />
<br />
The second word is "happiness." Success brings about happiness. Be it sports, on your job, or educational, if one is successful, there is a certain amount of happiness that is gained. <br />
<br />
I consider myself to be moderately successful, but I can honestly say, that I have never had a "hater." Overly blessed with good looks and dazzling charm, I have always saturated my being with positive energy. I have always desired success. Self determination creates a tunnel vision that is inaccessible to "haters." Successful people create surroundings that are not conducive to the antics of "haters."<br />
<br />
So in closing, I will render my point. If you are blessed enough to have "haters," don't subscribe to their attacks. Remain in tune with your higher self. Reacting only distracts and requires you to leave the higher and subscribe to your lower self. Responding publicly to hate only makes "haters" SUCCESSFUL and HAPPY. <br />

It's been a couple of days since I have put up a new blog post, but I wanted yall to miss me. So as you pull yourself out of deprivation here is what I'm blogging on!<br />
<br />
So as you may have heard, Ruben Studdard is DIVORCED. As much as I hate it for my homie, ultimately I want for him to be happy. In even better news, the 2003 American Idol winner is in the process of releasing a new album, Letters From Birmingham.<br />
<br />
I got the opportunity to listen to the album during the holidays and its gonna be pretty #FYE! My favorite songwriter of all-time, Harold Lily, and a cast of others chipped in to comprise a musical work that gives listeners an inside look at Studdard's life over the past two years. The record is reminiscent of the crooner Marvin Gaye's Here My Dear and/or Vulnerable.<br />
<br />
The lead single is entitled June 28th, which tells all the ladies "...if you see me in the streets, don't be scared to speak." That's right, The Velvet Teddy Bear is single and ready to spend that jingle. Or sumn like dat. If you want me to set up a date for you and Rube send me an email with your best looking picture, the names of your previous 5 boyfriends, and 3 references.<br />
<br />
Check out the video shoot to June 28 and his rendition of Bobby Brown's Rock With You.<br />

I can remember like it was yesterday. The year was 1992, and I witnessed my fellow classmates being checked into school with a nonchalant (thanks to Twitter Fam for the spelling) look on their faces. It was a regal, snootiness unfit for an 8th grader. But who could blame him? He was 13 years old with a pair of $120 Air frikkin Jordans. <br />
<br />
"Aye cuh, them the new Jordans?" "Yeah, my mama took off work so we could catch Footlocker when they opened." I never understood that. Maybe its because I knew that it was no way in #Hell that Orlean Baldwin would spend that much money on some shoes. Never mind, taking off work and checking me into school to do it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibrnMd6WJCg_WZtTpZBBQwgiP14IuCYvtdkSQ7bnl1ZGeSS8NPZXdl59jyFMANwG8ktbr7DMHkKU1qCR6s0QapOFDLWX-lvYTaMU2NOHvN5c62fr6ep38Ogp961taHceqz91Ld028MM3mW/s1600/358c95757aa64c6681e7e0d48095805b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibrnMd6WJCg_WZtTpZBBQwgiP14IuCYvtdkSQ7bnl1ZGeSS8NPZXdl59jyFMANwG8ktbr7DMHkKU1qCR6s0QapOFDLWX-lvYTaMU2NOHvN5c62fr6ep38Ogp961taHceqz91Ld028MM3mW/s320/358c95757aa64c6681e7e0d48095805b.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
That cultural foolishness has grown into the beast we see today. Those then 8th graders are now the parents of little Jordan Monsters. C average kids who feel obligated to have a pair of now $200 pair of Jordans. I'm sure many of you have heard about the stampede that took place at a mall over some damn shoes. There are also reportings of people being robbed over a pair of foot covers.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6dIMjyEBRFWUH1XQ0Qg5WmZJreMiKhEmI827eQPstIZxUtGNhAlb9fIyc9gHQvZtCjHXxheLvap2wrzKzKig_eYMDgqYpc7xQrbmH1wMeqgr3ViieBodpN3dQXTrSE8MIldU7ufohlHdD/s1600/red+bottoms.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6dIMjyEBRFWUH1XQ0Qg5WmZJreMiKhEmI827eQPstIZxUtGNhAlb9fIyc9gHQvZtCjHXxheLvap2wrzKzKig_eYMDgqYpc7xQrbmH1wMeqgr3ViieBodpN3dQXTrSE8MIldU7ufohlHdD/s1600/red+bottoms.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
In 2012, the once Jordan Monsters have since evolved their obsession. Now the adult groove is the ever so popular Christian Louboutin red bottom shoes. These shits are $1,000+. Maybe this is my brokeness speaking, but no one making less than $100,000 a year should even want to wear these heauxs. No one with a Toyota car note has business purchasing a pair of shoes that are higher than their car payment. Today's parents are the result of being Jordan Monsters.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiydLkC7uGGdPcz2H1MaNjBNZbXTX0o9J2xPjs4NzOQ2S856Fm3mPuvT35104v-zWYzEhAKLuwqJjaRvENm4t7VexhJU_dN1TeoR4dUPyKJUWR4Axnpa4i57LVybhDpTRS3tpFZNkW9HnQb/s1600/Air-Jordan-Shoes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiydLkC7uGGdPcz2H1MaNjBNZbXTX0o9J2xPjs4NzOQ2S856Fm3mPuvT35104v-zWYzEhAKLuwqJjaRvENm4t7VexhJU_dN1TeoR4dUPyKJUWR4Axnpa4i57LVybhDpTRS3tpFZNkW9HnQb/s320/Air-Jordan-Shoes.jpg" width="258" /></a></div><br />
<br />
So as I end my rant, I want to urge my people to think above the social influences of fitting in and "Keeping up with the Jones's." Money is too hard to come by these days for middle class Americans to over spend on shoes due to name or color of the heal. The makers of the shoes don't even respect us. If they did, they'd make a version that fit YOUR budget and lifestyle. Michael should be ashamed of himself. I should kick him in the ass with my Adidas shell toes. After all, it's what's in your heart that counts, not what's on your feet.<br />
<br />
Be Blessed!<br />

It is a ritual generally practiced to show affection, passion, and love. The "Sugar," which is the cousin to the kiss, serves a very similar purpose but without the passion. Sugar is reserved for children, parents and lovers in passing. Today my focus is on The Kiss!<br />
<br />
I recently had a conversation with some guys who say that kissing is a no-go! They claim that kissing is unnecessary to sexual activity. You hear things like, " Iown know where his/her mouth has been," or "it's too much stuff out here these days."<br />
<br />
While all of the above is true, kissing should be reserved for The VIP in your life. The gesture of kissing says that YOU are so special to me, that I don't mind putting MY mouth, that I cherish, on YOUR mouth (even tho I don't know where it has been). And just like any good club, if there are no VIP, the VIP section is CLOSED.<br />
<br />
Now that your mouth is watering with a new perception for kissing, let us go over a 2 major rules:<br />
<br />
Mouth Maintenance is vital. Don't just brush your teeth and tongue, but floss. I know all situations don't allow a good brush and floss before a kiss, but regular maintenance should keep you straight. There is nothing like a piece of rice interrupting a kiss.<br />
<br />
Controlled Saliva is a talent that juicy mouthed people have to master. It doesn't take a tablespoon of spit to kiss. (Unless, you are in a freak session ;) )<br />
<br />
So join me today in saving the kiss. Kiss somebody. Gentleman grab your wives, girlfriends, cutbuddies, and say baby I just wanna kiss. Do this, and watch your sex life go from Standard TV to 3D in the smack of a lip.<br />
<br />

That's cute and all, but as I enter into the final quarter of my 32nd year, the road signs clearly let me know that Dorothy ain't in Kansas anymore. I find myself in NATURAL moments, doing things that I would have never done just a few years ago.<br />
<br />
For example, in social environments, I find myself wishing the DJ would turn dat $HI+ down just a little #HELL. What young and hip person wants that? Now, what happened to the days of busted eardrums and screaming conversations over 8Ball MJG? The answer? YOU GETTING OLD CUH!<br />
<br />
There was a time when Da Blues was never played where I hung out. Now Da Blues is showing up and showing out almost everytime I hang out. And as I look around the room I see that it is much welcomed. As I look down and see my feet subconsciously tapping, I think, YOU GETTING OLD CUH!<br />
<br />
This post is a notice, that I will be embracing my elderliness. I;m hanging up my FUBU pants and giving away my Jordans. I'm tired of fighting. I'm going to Oxford Street and getting Crayola colored suits and Stacy Adams and listening to Da Blues! Join me please....<br />

Just the thoughts and emotions of everybodys friend Wolfgang. #Lehgo&LehGodWolfgang's Cabarethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14238627074490911033noreply@blogger.com3
