Yellow petals holding shoulders Purples complementing sun-dipped hair He laughs in theatre blacks, this is no act Smile warm captured, in a still… Catch language with a lyricist grip Spit / bright / through / night / God shooting stars into cypress heads Yet no death to wreck, joys rebuilt / Prose is cleanly relived I visit a paradise / south of depressed Make art to pay billers Exposed to the dealings of criminals Banks in an automatic fit with us I howl at the owl in the bush “Whoooooooooo knows?” The beaver bucked “Goddamn it” How’d I get up in this act, please map my escape route When the white dude start talking about minorities I think- majority Lightning in thunder heads complete Stories seeded above peach street lights / beading the land, fearful death, where the yogis at? Listen to a YOKI track This is Unlucky Bastards, jamming, vested, blam in western Chill anime slaps go good to Lucille Clifton interviews, teach us Secrets in the edge of cremation steps All human beings Apply everything on the brain at the same time Exit this blasted planet, Aquarius Flows Carry your rain eye, cry until the splash darkens the boot Jimmy Baldwin, what a poet must do? Write our truths from the artist’s point of view, responsible / to light the people’s darkness No matter what happens, you’ll survive it / Don’t cheat, don’t lie / Glory is on my mind Angels strike plane wings I blink feathers vanish Never make it to the landing, no crime to souls: Invest money into total risk Where I need to go? In the corner again? Watch a spider climb a silk rope and grits Gold Folgers, mama smiling, daddy smoking like the spatula poking salmon in the pan Holy Ghost of the Northside of Richmond Tipped sick men with encouragement, willpower rippled… beyond the grave We inhaled the last breath so we carry him 7 days pass and then the cells go to gas I laugh as hard as I can Inhale the past: Hospital rooms dry Erase the dates Patients left confused A complex of bones. No, that’s not my Dad - Death, I want him back!

about

This project is inspired by an empty street beside The Diamond Baseball Stadium called Avenue of Champions in Richmond, Virginia, my hometown. I said that'd be a fire album title. These songs are me weaving a project that has evolved organically since 2016.

This is my birthday present to myself and my gift to you. Hip Hop is Liberation. Art helped me use my imagination to change my reality, and songwriting helped me stay decisive. Keep asking questions and have fun.

This is for the students I've coached, the artists I grew up with, the musicians I've collaborated with, my staff, my teammates, This is for my neighbors. This is for who freestyled or danced to my drumming at open mics and poetry slams. This is for my mentors, I am grateful for your patience.

I do what flows to & thru me. I speak lessons with a inspirational coded language. Be me no matter the pressure to fold into a shape I don't desire. Branch out into the unknown at will as expert of tearing from the main narrative, vignette moments of truth. I survive to return to the studio more prepared than the last. Learn from the Greats, Always tell your story. Cut out the middleman, Get your creativity to the People, Demand Respect Live your dream, Keep Going!

Cameras zoom out revealing my body in proportion to wide audiences quiet determined love offstage, vocalist projecting what weighs my mind onstage - my experiences calm me, my people guide me to navigating today and the next. No lacking in heat of moment of clarity To hell with Death! Step into a new portal with me and delight in the fruits of your labor, See the joy beneath the grief. Let the healing begin.

Rise to the occasion!
Robalu Gibsun
