Motivation~Ryan Leslie in the lab....It's not a game. What drives you?
by Jesse Muhammad
First let me admit, I don't keep up with music like I used to and the people I listen to in my i-pod is a very narrow list. So anyone "new" on the scene, I am out of touch. Case and point Ryan Leslie. I had not heard his music nor did I know his story.
But last night on Twitter I posed the question: "What was the last album you bought or downloaded that was great from start to finish". I got countless responses and one of my Twitter friends(@md20737 ) shot me this video of Ryan Leslie in the lab making his song "Addiction". This brother is talented. He was working until the sun came up.
Since I am a lover of autobiographies and reading the story behind people's glory, I was inspired by seeing this video. Watch and ask yourself, are you willing to sacrifice sleep to create something great? Get in your own "lab" and produce.
Reginald Gordon, Brother Jesse, and Durce Muhammad to speak at Hope Academy in Houston on November 12
In August, Hope Academy opened its doors for the first time. According the the official website (www.hopeacademyeagles.org), it is a coeducational HISD Charter High School that targets young people grades 9 through 12 who are experiencing academic difficulty, behavioral challenges, and other issues that have not allowed them to have success in a traditional school setting.On Thursday, November 12 at 10:30 am, I will have the honor of speaking before the entire student body along with Reginald Gordon and Durce Muhammad.
Reginald Gordon is the founder of Operation OG1 Outreach and will be the headline speaker of the day. His program is reforming people inside and outside of the prisons. Durce Muhammad is an educational consultant who delivers top-notch seminars for teachers and administrators. Both men also speak inside the Keaton State Jail every week.
Hope Academy serves young men and women who are considered a high risk for failure academically as well as in life, addressing many issues and obstacles they face which put them at a tremendous disadvantage in the pursuit of a normal, healthy adult life.
The administration at Hope Academy is Dr. D. Z. Cofield (Superintendent), Amber Wilson (Principal), Raymond Whitley, Jr. (Director), DaShuna Littles (Counselor), Rita Spivey (Registrar) and Michael B. Chambers (Business Manager).
Watch Hope Academy profiled on the HISD Network below! Stay plugged in for highlights from our speaking engagement.

What’s Next For Hip-Hop? The End Of Its American Colonization
by Cedric MuhammadWith all due respect to Lil’ Wayne’s imminent departure from us – while a tragedy for his family and boost to the story line for the second season of my third favorite show, ‘Tiny and Toya’ on BET – it is hardly a crisis for Hip-Hop, as a culture or industry.
Unfortunately, it only earns an honorable mention on Hip-Hop’s long incarceration report. Despite headlines now, just ask Slick Rick and Shyne how soon we forget about you.
Hopefully T.I. and Wayne emerge from prison ready to lead a world of young people.
No, we have to move beyond celebrity worship and gossip to figure out this one.
So, put on your futurist hat. Get your Nostradamus on. Pull your crystal ball out. Cast lots if you will. If you like ouija boards, fine. What the hell, they are not for me, but this is Hip-Hop – anything goes.
Let’s look at the future together to find out where we are headed, as an industry and culture. As always we need to know that next big thing.
While some may disagree, I feel the music is in good hands with the South as caretaker. I, for one, like the basic formula – hypnotic beats, melodic choruses, old flows and new slang each month.
I don’t expect this to change any time soon. The Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, and Texas corridor will continue to run this, with toleration of periodic bursts of hotness from New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.
I sit in D.C. – the top of the South - and enjoy it all with the option of a go-go remix.
So I don’t look to a revolution in sound just yet.
In addition the day of the music crew as planet and satellite is over. No more eras of threes - whether Wu-Tang, Death Row, and Bad Boy on one hand, or Ruff Ryder, Cash Money, and Roc-A-Fella on the other.

"Raising Boys" documentary premiere honors single mothers in Houston; national tour coming soon by Deric Muhammad
Review by Jesse Muhammad
The day had finally arrived.
On Thursday, November 5, I attended the Houston premiere of this highly anticipated project by Deric Muhammad and producer Lawrence Moody of Moody Entertainment. The "Raising Boys" documentary.
To walk up to the Angelika Theater and see the the name "Raising Boys" in lights was inspiring. A red carpet was laid out for attendees to take photos in front of the official banner. The welcoming table had bottled water with "Raising Boys" labels and I watched as people rushed in not to miss one second.
The emcee for the opening program was our mother Mavis Jackson, who is also a member of the cast. Following her welcome, we heard from co-sponsors, Houston Council Member Jarvis Johnson and Ricky Anderson of the Black Broadcasting Network (BBN). One of the lower level aisles was lined with 200 gifts bags for single mothers from a Mary Kay representative.
Deric Muhammad gave a little background about the documentary and then it was show time. Before we got half way into "Raising Boys", you could hear women crying in the audience. Tissue was being passed. Even the men had a serious look in their eyes, including myself. We watched as Alicia Jackson, Malaika Gardner, and Mavis Jackson shared their personal stories of single motherhood.

(Mavis Jackson and son Deric Muhammad)
This was coupled with the testimonies of Alicia's two sons Jeremy and Jacobi; their father is in prison. They miss him. Jacobi cried in the film, and shed the same tears while sitting in the audience this night. His tears caused people around him to cry too. Attorney Sadiyah Evangelista broke down the impact of the criminal justice system in the documentary.
As I watched the documentary, while sending out Twitter messages, I was impacted deeply myself. I have a personal connection to it because Deric is my older brother and his story is our story. To listen to him, my mother (Mavis) and my sister (Alicia) openly share our struggles as a family, reminded me of why this documentary is so needed.
It is a must see for single mothers. No, it's a must see for everyone. Along with all of the single mothers in the audience, I saw State Rep. Sylvester Turner, Council Member and City Controller hopeful Ronald Green, Yusef Muhammad of the BBN, Olympic Silver Medalist Nia Abdallah and more. A special shoutout to my Twitter connect Kim of Shuddup.com, who flew in from Atlanta to see the premiere.
I will be posting video testimonies soon. To see more photo highlights visit my Facebook Photo Album at: "Raising Boys" Documentary Photo Gallery

Virtue Today Magazine: How to find Happiness and Heal from abuse....a must read edition!
by Jesse MuhammadThere are soooo many magazines on the shelves throughout the country and it's hard to find one that is unique, fulfilling and is not saturated with half-nude or sex-related ads.
Well before you give up on the search, I ask that you give this magazine a try.
But it's really more than a magazine, it's a movement. A movement of virtue. Yes, virtue. It's called Virtue Today Magazine and it is the brainchild of publisher Audrey Muhammad.
But it's really more than a magazine, it's a movement. A movement of virtue. Yes, virtue. It's called Virtue Today Magazine and it is the brainchild of publisher Audrey Muhammad.
This is not a lightweight word (virtue) nor is this a lightweight magazine. It's seriously about elevating the standard amongst our women and girls.
Ok, I won't start "preaching" (smile). But I have enjoyed reading every edition and I even had the honor of being a featured columnist in the special President Obama edition.
This issue of Virtue Today is called the "Healing issue". The cover features Erykah Badu. Would you like insight on how to find your purpose? How can you heal from abuse and move forward with your life? Would you like keys to achieve this and more? This issue is for you!

By the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan - "I present to you a man—the Honorable Elijah Muhammad—whom this Great One Who came from the East, taught. Master Fard Muhammad is not the Originator of the heavens and the earth, but He is The Best Knower among all of the nearly 6 billion on the planet. And soon, you are going to come to know it because He is going to make His Power known right here in America! When you see His Power manifested, all of those who are fearful are going to say, “Something mighty is going on among the slaves!”
There is healing in His wings not just for us, but also for the White people who wish to be purified from that which they were taught to make them rulers in the earth not based on the principle of justice. He has healing in His wings for you.
And so, my beloved brothers and sisters, I thank you so much for reading these words. I thank you—the Believers—for being patient with me as we try to move the Nation of Islam into its broader mission. But before you can move out into the broader mission, the scripture teaches that you can’t put new wine in an old wineskin, lest the wineskin break and the new wine spill out.” We need to make a new person to receive that mission.
As-Salaam Alaikum."
