With an enraged soul, fist clenched, mouth gagged to contain... to hold, Voices enriched with street wisdom, physically although caged, needing to VENT.... stories to be told.
Sniper Azande Xzyzst... The Master of Ceremonies... Powerful in his role. Director of this symphonic truth, with instruments of designed purpose. Melodically waiting to unfold.
First to the mic, Loutah confessing the truth in "Grimy since birth." New New shit, No Enemy World, the drumbeat of this earth.
"The Movement." Reyon professing pride in being a black man. Even when viewed as a crime, with dogged determination, destined to stand!
With "Black Jewelz" B.G. (Demetrius Howard) conveyed sentiments close to the heart. Lives extinquished by those in official uniforms armed with guns and unreleting distain to impart.
Black internal GOD resonates from "Angry BlackMan" rap by Xzyzst and Joker... Somebody turn the mic UP! The realness of our society. The illumination of the greed that streatches back to the days of Micah.
Reading "Life & Death" written by Face caused tears of compassion to ceaselessly drip. Heartbeats of Empathy resonate. Know that forever I will hold you tightly in my grip.
Voices rising with "A new Anthem" loud, clear and precise. Loutah, just know that again your words are the Bread of Life.
The question Big Rock asked was "Who killed Uncle Sam?" As well as he should. It was answered with unwavering courage and an indepth precision, clear for those who understood.
The King Narmeer's "My life of sin" was told with a soul wrenching voice filled with pain. Yet, even so, there remains a constant dignity that rises to the surface again and again.
I am ever amazed at my boy Xzyzst and the cultivating clarity his words impart. The message of forgiveness continues to reverberate and enlighten my heart.
So from here in this concrete cage, know that your sister Mpingo acknowledges your support for each other. Your struggle continues to inspire me. I'll hold your spirits high and continue to fight for all of you.... MY BROTHERS!
California On Blast (California's Death Penalty Scheme)
Only 2% of counties in the United States are responsible for the majority of the nation's death row population. Of the twelve counties with the most death sentences, seven of them are in California.
Of the 58 counties in California, Los Angeles County sends the most people to death row. Los Angeles is among the ten counties in California* responsible for the vast majority of death sentences in the state.
Over the last decade, with death sentences decreasing throughout California and the nation, these ten counties account for an even higher percentage of people in California's death row, with Los Angeles County remaining on the top.
Although Texas executes more people than any other state, Los Angeles County leads the nation in death sentences, responsible for placing 228 individuals on death row. As of 2013, more than double that of second-place Harris County, Texas.
*The ten counties are Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, Alameda, Orange, Contra Costa, San Diego, Sacramento, Tularo, and Ventura Counties.
Stories have shown that the geographical location rather than the specific factors relevant to the crime determine whether a defendant lives or dies. Under the California death penalty scheme, some defendants will be chosen as candidates for the death penalty by one prosecutor while others with similar charges in a different county or even the same county will not.
