Laying Flowers:Setting Fires [ film available now at trueandlivingmedia.com ]

I wrote and directed something special to me. “Laying Flowers.:.Setting Fires” is a love poem, a eulogy, a war cry and a victory dance. I tried my best to pour all of what my hearts contains at this moment into this vision. I hope you find good in it. Soon come. November 11.

#ThisLoveThing the album is finally here.

Alhamdulillah.

Still.

Are we not flesh and bone?
Are we not minds and souls?
Are eyes either blind or closed
As if we don’t see
As if we don’t know
They’ll kill you!
They’ll kill you
They’ll kill you like it’s no Biggie
No Diddy
