Well, not much. I used to think that rap music was all the same and NOT for me. But then...
My 14 year old step-son introduced me to some artists that actually had something to say that was of substance. Artists like Atmosphere, Tech Nine, heck, even Eminem!
So I started listening more closely... When I realized I was wrong to dismiss a whole genre, I was inspired to write this song: Spread the Word.
(Only to have my oldest son say: "What?! You're gonna rap now, dad?" ... No, at my age it's called spoken word!)
The experience was a great reminder to always keep an open mind and heart, because by putting others in a box, we're putting ourselves in one, too...
What better way to wish you happy holidays (or Christma-hana-kwanzika as I like to say) than with a song? I hope you had a great 2012 and wish you all the best for 2013!
