"I been busy.........."



I know that's the universal excuse when you miss someone's show, video, event, etc..........but for real yall, I been working hard! Don't forget, I am working on my album too........

Here's a few fruits of my labor though. Enjoy...........I know I am!!!!!


Shout to DJ Supa 2 Mello




Shout out to CHA

6 Weeks From Now.....


I'm doing something really BIG, since I've gotten smaller.....aprox. 24 lbs smaller actually. I have always wanted to 'play Mass' in a West Indian Carnival, but I was too self-conscious due to my size/weight. But I have been working extremely hard since January 1st of this year, and I am soooooooooo proud of my new size/weight. I never thought I would be successful at getting my "extra baggage" off, so I want to reward myself by doing something that I was never able to do because of that "extra baggage".

So here it goes...... this is the costume I will be parading down Georgia Avenue (Washington, DC) in, on Saturday June 24th, 2006.



Get your cameras ready fellas!

If you are interested in participating in the carnival, or want to see the other costumes, check it out here: DC Carnival Costumes and More.....

P.S. I still have a few pounds to go.......so for the next 6 weeks, keep me in your prayers. Permanent weight loss is a serious 'lifestyle change' that requires: dedication, discipline, strength, and lots of encouragement (of which you can never get enough of).

Thanks for tuning in folks.
