NAS Time Is Illmatic

KINGS GRACE

Illmatic is a classic album as well as the documentary Time Is Illmatic. Nas has truly evolved. I have included an article/video from Esquire.com titled The Perpetual Evolution of Nas. I chose this photo as well as the artist as a reflection of myself. (Memory Lane) You grow through what you go through you evolve. This image reminds me to stay grounded, reflect and keep steady. Walk in faith, stay solid and true to myself. There will be tough times (Life's a B*tch) and sorrows but it's important to learn to accept truth, see clearly and think freely.(The World Is Yours). Life's most valuable lessons are usually experienced rather than taught. Either way it's great to have balance to be the student and the teacher, As you learn you teach. (The Genesis). Always thank God with Grace.

Nas is my favorite and most impactful artist who is humble, honored and appreciated. I am a student of life and like Nas I believe in leaving a proof of life. We lay bricks when we walk our path, we tell our stories through books, poetry, documentaries and through writing when our pen meets paper. This is the evolution of Brains Books Beauty.

With Gratitude

"I've been blessed to make a career out of doing what I love, but the environment from where I came, the conditions of my youth, the trauma that still lives inside of me, and the struggles that nearly broke me connect me with so many others, I want to tell my story not because it's unique but because it is not" Scenes From My Life is a well written memoir by Michael K. Williams with Jon Sternfeld. I read the book in two days as I was intrigued by the lifestyle of Michael K. Williams, with depth and descriptive form of storytelling. The book takes you on a journey through highlights and harsh realities. I enjoyed watching Michael K Williams on television series Law and Order , the Wire, Black Market and after reading this book I learned more about the human experience, the black experience, thoughtfulness and grew even more appreciation for his character both on and off camera. Thank you for creating a body of work and being an open book. We have a see the world th
