Em + The 5’9″ = WOKE DOPENESS / DOPE WOKENESS

LINK UP (= Connect then Develop Ties in ‘Informal and Formal ways’) my folks

After you get past what I think of but have never uttered “Assholisms” (which typically = over the top male bravado…I hope folks do not miss that this is a ‘Song of Resistance’ in way too many ways’ to the dominant socio-cultural and political-economic ‘norms’ in way too many spaces and places of Life.

Let’s Link Up folks.

Meetup mode!

LIFE ANTHEMS! ~ Games Begin

I love my friends!

One of my MOSST MEANINGFUL favorite Life Anthems.

Since, BUT Only for, this Post-Stroke Rehab period, AFRISPORA has turned into only a blog/vlog.

Appreciate my real world and online folks that have ‘Held Me Down’ as I probably me first heard Q-Tip say in a verse. It radiated a MEANING then almost 30 years ago.

It is easy yet hard to explain but should one have to…? As Jalen Rose puts it, “It’s ‘Cultural!’ Yup, I agree bruh.

LIVE INSPIRED! ~ Blu Matic Beats

IWOW what a find today…the joint “Ocean Breeze” even brought forth tears as I am dealing with some MAJOR life challenges that have me “off my square” as I have heard said but it was therapeutic to be thankful to be reflective and self-care via music as I have subconsciously and consciously been doing ALL MY LIFE…

…I chose Academics but have less tapped Artistic and past Athletic abilities…but “I ain’t dead yet!”

🙂 Enjoy and be Enlightened and Empowered,

Dr. Clayborne

“Live Inspired!” – #DrClayborneSayings #Afrispora #GDCCollective #AndersonPaak

YFWD ~ “Herbaliser feat. Rakaa Iriscience VERBAL ANIME

Super dopeness! FWD’sFWD’s( Finds While Diggin) tend to be impeccable moments when I stumbled upon epic art because I am flowing with the right vibes of my ‘mindspace’ at that moment of ‘fiscovery’ and this is surely the case this another installment from the Mar Vista Gardens (projects) z proof that “You are where you let you mind flow/go!”

Looking for an old Herbaliser track to add to a fresh blog on Bandcamp about 90s British Hip Hop and voila some Extra Freshness of Rakaa over an Herbaliser track at 5:56am…proves an adage I just made up is true:

 “Never a bad time for dope (good) Hip Hop (Art)!” – #DrClayborneSayings #Afrispora #BrilliantBrothas #SmartSistas

Respect,
