By: CEO\/President Ralph A. World<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I’ve always held a deep reverence for those certain genres of music and musicians who are able to say something that so impactfully connects to the deeper consciousness of the listener. A mere lyric or subtle note is sung from a place of authenticity and rawness that it’s as if they are speaking directly to you at the exact moment you hear it. I’ve felt this more time than not within the genre of Hip Hop\/Rap.<\/p>\r\n

\"Hip-Hop,<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A highly misunderstood genre of music with a long-standing history of both controversy as well as roots in social justice, inspiration, and poetry.<\/p>\r\n

It is perfectly flawed and ever evolving in various directions. Depending on who you listen to or whom you choose to follow may have a serious impact on your viewpoints on life, and the pursuit of your dreams.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As controversial as it always has been, there have equally been plenty moments of inspirational ballads being created that have come to represent an entire generation of individuals that pull from the lyrics and song to benefit them in great capacity.<\/p>\r\n

-LL Cool J redefined the concept of Hip Hop\/Rap and he did it at age 17.<\/em><\/p>\r\n

The gangster’s tale of overcoming adversity and rising from the trenches has now blossomed to the instrumental used to fire up a team before a ball game or pumping them up before a hard day at the gym.<\/p>\r\n

The strong opening and aggressive flows have cemented themselves as the perfect soundtrack to psych you up for any personal endeavor be it doing the laundry or as impactful as before an important job interview. No other genre of music can provide a window into the lives of the dream chasers now comfortably transitioned into the stage of the dream achievers.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

-Meek Mill\u2019s \u201cDreams and Nightmares\u201d Is the Underdog Anthem That Defined the Eagles\u2019 Super Bowl Win.<\/em><\/p>\r\n

I’ve always greatly appreciated how within Hip Hop there is this culture to describe the personal experience and showcase an artist’s uncanny ability to casually describe the intricacies that come with the unbelievable lifestyle of achieving your dreams and the lavishness that comes with being amongst the rich and famous.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"Rick<\/p>\r\n

-Rick Ross known for his uncanny ability to describe in detail his rich lifestyle took it a step further when he released a music video while on house arrest showing the opulence of which he resides. The visuals are breathtaking and the lyrics simply…the truth. Rick Ross – Money Dance ft. The-Dream (Official Video) – YouTube<\/a><\/em><\/p>\r\n

Hip Hop has been the perfect voice to represent certain emotions I’ve felt throughout my life, a window to what I could possibly accomplish, and weirdly enough has sparked ideas and interest in a personal reflection on topics that I’ve never been exposed to previously.<\/p>\r\n

A great example of this sentiment ringing true for me is the discovery spawned from casually listening to a hip-hop song which led me to making a connection of my birth to one of the greatest leaders and first-ever rulers of the nation of Ayiti, Jean-Jacques Dessalines<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"Jean-Jacques<\/b><\/p>\r\n

-Jean-Jacques Dessalines<\/b>\u00a0(Haitian Creole:\u00a0Jan-Jak Desalin;\u00a0French pronunciation:\u00a0\u200b<\/small>; 20 September 1758 \u2013 17 October 1806) was a leader of the\u00a0Haitian Revolution\u00a0and the first ruler of an independent\u00a0Haiti\u00a0under the\u00a01805 constitution. Initially regarded as governor-general, Dessalines was later named\u00a0Emperor of Haiti\u00a0as\u00a0Jacques I<\/b> (1804\u20131806) by generals of the Haitian Revolution Army and ruled in that capacity until being assassinated in 1806 on OCTOBER 17<\/strong>.\u00a0 <\/sup>He has been referred to as the father of the nation of Haiti.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Jay Z was born the same day that Chicago-based Black Panther activist Fred Hampton was shot at point blank range in his apartment by Chicago police, in conjunction with the FBI: December 4th, 1969<\/strong>.–\"The<\/p>\r\n

One of Jay Z’s most memorable lyrics:<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

“I arrived on the day Fred Hampton died
Uh, real niggas just multiply
And they say by 21, I was supposed to die
So I\u2019m out here celebrating my post-demise.”<\/p>\r\n

\"The\"Judas<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Fredrick Allen Hampton Sr.<\/b>\u00a0(August 30, 1948 \u2013 December 4, 1969) was an American activist. He came to prominence in\u00a0Chicago\u00a0as deputy chairman of the national\u00a0Black Panther Party\u00a0and chair of the\u00a0Illinois\u00a0chapter. As a progressive\u00a0African American, he founded the anti-racist, anti-classist\u00a0Rainbow Coalition, <\/sup>a prominent\u00a0multicultural\u00a0political organization that initially included the Black Panthers,\u00a0Young Patriots\u00a0(which organized poor whites), and the\u00a0Young Lords\u00a0(which organized Hispanics), and an alliance among major\u00a0Chicago street gangs to help them end infighting and work for social change.<\/em><\/p>\r\n

My birthday is OCTOBER 17th.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

After hearing this popular song via Jay Z & Kanye West Murder Excellence, I was implored to do my own research to find if there was any connection to this date and the lost of a prominent black leader. Low and behold …<\/p>\r\n
