My birthplace is Bell-Flower, Los Angeles. From a young age, I discovered my passion for music. Since 1998 I have been writing and producing my own music. With 30 to 40 live performances on stage, I experienced the thrill of presenting my own music several times. My stage performances in Denver, Colorado and New Mexico are among the highlights of my musical career so far. I am known by my stage name Crazyie1 in the music industry. Although my true passion and talent are writing and producing mus

“Charter Schools and their Enemies”

     Make no mistake about it.  There is a continuing war escalating between parents and those in charge of public education.  Parents want to see their children receive the best education possible, even if they have to do it themselves.  Public school officials in some cities and states would like to ma

     One of the best quotes I heard to sum up modern liberals comes from Dr. Thomas Sowell, in his description of social justice.  According to Sowell: “Envy plus rhetoric equals “Social Justice”.  Think of this the next time someone (or something) gets ‘cancelled’ by the ‘woke’ generation.  People are sooooo envious of an

It was a thing of joy as the newly built NDDC headquarters situated on the Eastern bye-pass axis of Rivers State was commissioned by the President and Commander-in- Chief of the Armed Forces, Muhammadu Buhari.

The above expression was contained in a statement circulated to journalists by Citizens Quest for Truth Initiative CQTI, a non-governmental and an accountability advocacy organization.

It seems that I am lucky to be a mature settled married man. But, there are many other men who seek sex among consenting adults. And, there’s the rub – “consenting adults”. Actually how does a guy get consent without such actions being considered “sexual harassment”? A lady friend of mine, a platonic friend, told me it was considered sexual harassment to tell a woman she has beautiful hair. I was surprised at my ignorance. On many occasions, total strangers, women mind you, have told my red-head

The Republican Party is dead. Trump killed it. I wondered how 74 million Americans could vote for a dishonest, racist liar for president. I know the popular Republican political strategy is telling  lies. It has been very effective but Trump has mastered that ‘big lie’ skill beyond expectations which would have made Hitler proud. Trump most famous ‘big lie’ is that he won the elections and according to the polls, despite his obvious loss, 70% of Republicans believe him.

Despite Trump’s  complete

     I would like to take the time to welcome each reader to “THE MANHOOD LINE,” a column written to put forth solutions for men, regardless of their color, achievements, age or issues.  Let me say from the outset that this column is unique.  It is not a column to show women where their problems may be.  However, this column it is an answer for many, many, many men whom you and I know are tired of being labeled as monsters, misfits, or idiots.

     Nearly everyone has heard of Samson; the man who was blessed by God in the Old Testament Book of Judges (Chapters 13-16 KJV) to begin taking the Philistines down a few pegs on the humility meter.  Samson had a good run but lacked focus on God and his true mission. He wound up having his hair cut (the source of his st

Black stories. Black talent. Black creators. Black History.

 

 

I am going to go out on a limb here and say this year’s month-long celebration of Black History, is worthy of next-level turn up. Why go above and beyond more than any year prior? Because the last 12 months have shown that life for the descendants of chattel slaves hasn’t changed nearly as much as we would like and/or want to believe. We are in the fight of our lives while living in a Nation in crisis (e.g. suspect vaccines too reminis

Armed with unmatchable swagger and true grit, Razzi exploded onto the scene back in 2018 with his debut single “Pour Up The Henny” – and every step forward he’s taken with his career ever since has shown he’s miles ahead of the rest & been setting the standards for the Rap/Trap game to raise up to.
