show and to my far right as brother benjamin the hardest working man are who and also people who are young of heart to go into our shows going to be a dynamic show we have a brother kohler leak brother cole if you would just give us a brief the relationship developing and he began to put together a recording studio of those kind of a micro version of one if you will and i got to spend a lot of time around him and just the interest in the s what are you doing currently work and you know we need to talk about the spiritual side and also but what are you doing currently musically now i've been producing our recording studios or i've been producing music i started in production on some of our own material and you know just been working with the art is and just developing you know the supernova productions team and we have some producers and writers and musicians and people like that that we're all of the other with and we're just trying to bring that real positive energy back and you know come with with with with just good and you know we don't we don't pride ourselves on trying to be you know the next cutting edge strand of the next new wave of thing you know because waves come and go we try to do something solid man so we base it on real music real instruments real live things and then we and we and we bring it man we brain we just bring that flavor now i've been doing that i've been doing a lot of sports related  you're brother man and when you came here there was just a phenomenon that people the japanese media used to just flock to him and everything in washington every move and this guy was like you know i mean they say you know and i  haven't been to japan to witness it myself but they say that what michael jordan is here magnify that by about one hundred times and that's what each row is over in japan you know i mean they say that that dude is just used it and a funny version over there in japan and it has a little baseball card you know it was a lot of fun man i mean you know we do i do a lot of different sports related i think all of us rappers think we're athletes and you know you all the athletes think that they can  as and so anyway long story short man i do a lot of sports related music you never shine alexander and i are real good friends and i mean i'm still working on him i wrote some stuff for him and he you know come down in the  to push the music for some video games now and some other stuff too and do a stuff for the n f l we did a new song for the seahawks for the new theme song they're here and they played it at seahawk stadium and on a sports radio so we're trying to pitch it to the degrading my father in front of us she never decided to me even though he did very you know dishonorable things in terms of having many many children out of wedlock all sorts of things like that my mother never decided in the front of us and never spilled that kind of poison into us you know and but from other relatives i had heard that my father that wasn't even his his last name really the wasn't spends the name that we were carrying around he had picked that out of the phone book one day just because he was upset with his real parents whom my mother has found out that the people she thought were his plans real parents so bottom line is there was no real history that had to do with that name it was just something that he had kind of picked in arbitrarily so i decided i was going to change my name and and have my own identity up looking in the african name book and i didn't want to just change my name to just whatever name i really wanted to to work to have some purpose and some thought and the means to stay in peace and at that point in time i had reached a point in my life where i really did need i really did need peace the name seemed to fit me and plus i just thought that x and thing was really cool i picked the name because i really really identified and the league the last the last name i picked you know it meant regal royal and i felt like you know i felt like royalty i felt like you know i didn't understand at the point in time that i changed my name but as a son of god as a as a man of god i feel that not that i'm better than anybody but just that you know i have to understand i'm the son of a great king and i have to treat myself and and ok well i guess we're not going to get that shot  you can pursue in the in terms of a career in entertainment and her management production you know video production there's guys you know that the reason why they want to rap well you want to get paid but there's so many different avenues that you can do you know there's people that are not in front of the camera not on the microphone that i'm making and you know hand over fist more than the guys that are the ones that are supposedly in the front with all the bling bling the front man and room and so you know some some really important things is that people that are getting involved in the business understand first of all what their reason and their purpose is for getting involved in the business and if you're looking to get involved in the in the hip hop for what it is that he can do for you you know a lot times you know that is going to twist and contort what you what your motive is and what you come forth with the microphone and what you develop a song but then if you think of what is it that i can bring to the table that's new and original and you come from that stance a lot of times you know i think that it makes a huge difference in just the your whole approach to the song that you make the music that you are and what it is that you're that you're trying to do so there is that in that same those who were talking about  something else you alluded to it breaks it's sometimes hard to determine what's real from was all of the smoke and mirrors ruins a lot of people that are that are written cars and written even jewelry you know i there are places that four hundred million dollars the movie was on point in his life so i don't kill people that well you know they can't reach this level of success but what they are teaching them to do is to idolize those things and to put those things in the run of everything else you know and they you know the things that they teach us are cool is to be materialistic chauvinist pig and to put you know pleasure and a good time in a party and money and these other things like that to put those things ahead of what life is really about because i guess when you die you're not taken out of it with you and no one's going to hear about how you know how many women you had how many large you had anything when you die they all measure your life by what your life meant to everyone else around you and people around your community music has taken a new direction with growth and to possibly share some information of some of the things that i went through that would help maybe somebody out there that's looking to pursue that kind of career or do that kind of that we don't have a really good term but the current state of music we probably have maybe about thirty seconds later music well i think that music is evolving i think people are seeing through the facade as you say of really bling and all those things and it's a breath of fresh air when people like lauryn hill and common come along and breathe life into a real data and be seen so people like us are going to continue to make good music and you know shine through  anything quick word about where you fellowship and we mentioned that in the work that you guys are doing i know that you have a youth center correct doing that so you're doing what i like about as not just from the not just the members
