FREDDY WILL™ is storming the entertainment stage on October 10^th, 2010 with a colossal new release of his fourth musical offering entitled 'DARK HORSE FROM ROMARONG... a city of kings’, as well as with his second  literary publication entitled, ‘THE DARK ROAD FROM ROMARONG.’ 

In December of 2009, FREDDY WILL™ announced that the album had been completed at THUNDER DOME SOUNDS in Ontario, Canada and that it was produced by JUNO Award winner, Jazz musician and producer EDDIE BULLEN. Earlier this year, it was announced on his official website www.freddywill.com that the new FREDDY WILL™ album is recorded solely in the ‘Creole/Krio’ language of Sierra Leone and it is scheduled to be released worldwide.

“There is only one guest appearance on this album” FREDDY WILL™ explains. “The guest on this album is none other than Carvin Winans, the 6 time Grammy™ Award winning gospel legend who recorded 'Providence' with me on my last album. Carvin has been a mentor to me as I made my transition from a life on the streets and into the music and literary business.  Working with him has been a blast and as someone who grew up in a huge gospel singing family with his brothers Marvin and BeBe and his sister CeCe Winans, I have come to admire his wealth of musical experience and knowledge.”

To note; there is one English song on the Creole/Krio album titled 'Save’ which features Carvin Winans. ‘Save' is an emotionally charged environmental and socially conscious hit song which calls for a global intervention to levitate extreme health and socio- economic pandemics in third world countries.

”I wanted to create a record which would challenge my creativity. I didn't want to feature too many people while I addressed African audiences directly. On this album, I put my streetwise twist to West African storytelling which I think is needed in today’s’ art form. Then I stretched my vocal range between rapping and singing melodies on the verses (or in the hooks) so that I can prove to myself that if I really wanted to, I could sing. However, I won't be singing a lot on my future records”, he explains with a smile.

“‘Romarong’ is the former name of the capital city of Sierra Leone before it became 'Freetown’. The album describes the lifestyle of someone who is of an African heritage and is influenced by the American style of Hip Hop. It engages listeners with a glimpse into the life of a younger generation of African immigrants abroad who have become influenced by western civilization without omitting core traditional African mythologies. Also, it is about a younger group of Sierra Leoneans who embrace the new world while making most advantageous references to several places around the world where they may reside without sacrificing significant African traditions and cultures’. Freddy Will ™ expressed. 

‘Dark Horse From Romarong... a city of kings’ and ‘The Dark Road From Romarong’  are both set for release in a deluxe package along with a new edition of his first book, ‘My Book Of Chrymes’ and a copy of his latest English album entitled ‘While I’m Still Young … The Talking Drums 1.2v’. Both are currently available for physical distribution and licensing in West Africa. For more information on how you can buy the exclusive rights to sell the books and the albums in your region, please email your enquiries to ghettobreedentertainment@gmail.com

  What is cheating?
Is cheating an offence against God
Is it against your spouse?
Or is it both? 
 

"And early in the morning He came again into the Temple and all the people came unto Him; and He sat down, and taught them."

"And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto Him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto Him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the Law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest Thou?"

"This they said, tempting Him, that they might have to accuse Him."

"But Jesus stooped down, and with His finger wrote on the ground, as though He heard them not. So when they continued asking Him, He lifted up Himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her...  And again He stooped down, and wrote on the ground."

"And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst."

"When Jesus had lifted up Himself, and saw none but the woman, He said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee?"

"She said, No man, Lord."

"And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more."

John 8:2-11 KJV


 

Tiger Woods caused media frenzy when he went from being an international golf hero and a role model to an accused sexual desperado. He was exposed for having extra marital affairs with several women while being married. He was labelled ‘immoral’ and as a result he even lost some of his better golf sponsors due to the worldwide scandal that befell him. Some claimed that he deserved to be disgraced, divorced and banned from golfing while others sighted that he is at fault for marrying a white woman and sleeping with only white women.

Amidst the scandal, he suspended his golfing in sort of professional help at a rehab. He has made a public apology to his family and his fans and is working diligently to save his marriage. His accusers' credibility was made whole for the most part because a voicemail recording of Woods talking intimately to someone other than his wife, was produced along with saved text messages his self proclaimed former lovers had saved to confirm that indeed she had had a romantic involvement with the golf star. 

... In western culture, women are encouraged to enhance the look, feel and smell of their bodies and to flaunt their cuteness and sexiness openly. But in order to present the notion that they are as attractive as they can afford to be, they can also push that envelope with cunning accuracy. Young boys who were never trained to have the restrain needed to stay faithful to one woman (at a time) grow up and become men who are expected to have sexual self control in a deceitful world. An adolescent boy who was praised for being a ‘ladies man’ now grows up to be a condemned cheating spouse.  The notion of freedom has driven both men and women tosecretly yearn for wild sexual fantasies which neither can afford in outward appearances.

Society's myth is: encouraging a boy to explore his sexual conquest nature is good for his manhood. During manhood a single bachelor is free to fornicate with multiple 'bachelorettes'. But that same myth denies an adolescent girl from having the same experience gained from exploring her sexual conquest. Boys practice and play sports to horn their macho skills and date several girls to bigger their egos. On the other hand, a girl is seen as having low self esteem if she repeatedly dates a number of boys. From an early age, women are taught to restrain their sexual desires and are labelled a ‘slut’ if they sleep around. But the core concept of pre marital sex is often never enforced. In order words, sex is a priceless commodity which a woman should not offer and she should never give it to just any guy especially a married man.  However, opposites attract when passions lead of broken taboos.

              

The irony in western culture is men are attracted to all the beauty enhancements which women use to compete against each other. While they are turning back their biological clocks, women who would have been exempt from the 'sex chase game' now remain in a pool where everyday millions of eighteen (18) year old girls are introduced. And men who are hard wired to acquire all that their eyes desire, can not get enough of the beauty in these beasts. Avoiding this temptation has to be a day to day battle. This is ironic because bachelors are allowed to court as many attractive women they wish to court, just as long as thier marital status says single. 'Bachelorettes' are expected to do the opposite. Yet when bachelors become married men society expects them to suddenly turn away from chasing several women and be monogamous with his wife.

All around the world, scientific experts on this issue have stated with all certainty that it is in the genetic nature of male human beings to seek and impregnate as many human females as possible. They (scientific experts) have concluded that it  is because men subconsciously aspire to spread their genes and ensure that they will live on through infamy. Those same scientific experts have added that on the contrary human females are subconsciously prone to seek a man with dominant genes for the sake of bearing stronger off springs. And since a human female goes through nine (9) months of pregnancy plus an additional eighteen (18) years to raise their child she is more naturally inclined to yearn for a mate who would stick around after she bears children and never wander with other females.

Now here are my questions? Do opposites really attract? What is the historic nature of man? What is the historic nature of women? How has romance transpired between a man and women over the course of human history and how has that changed today?

I started writing and publishing my blog because I wanted my fans, onlookers and critics to appreciate my thoughts. As a hip hop artist, it is easy to be misinterpreted based on views expressed in a song, especially if those views are not popular. My pre-emptive move was to write a blog where I can get people acquainted with my views and allow everyone to see how I look at life while making their own comments on what they think about the issues on the table. My topics are based on factual information but they express mainly my views on issues which are meant to spark debate, stimulate educative conversations or simply entertain a reader. Please do not read too deeply into my blog posts or perceive it as misleading or a source for News. It is merely a blog that you are free to agree or disagree with. 

             

On this issue, I must point out that I have not read a scripture that out rightly condemns polygamy. This does not mean that I encourage it. What I am saying is the point remains true that God never banned it in any book. People suggest that because God made one Adam and one Eve, that it must mean that God intended for one man to be with one woman at a time. However, the majority of great men in the holy scriptures that I’ve read have had several wives and concubines at the same time and that did not anger God against them. Some had only one wife by choice.

All scriptures which I’ve read on the subject tend to point against engaging in pre marital sex otherwise known as fornication, or, engaging in adultery (which can only mean, if you like a woman you should marry her). In the scriptures, as long as you’re married to a woman you can sleep with her. And there is no set limit in any scripture as to how many women a man can marry. In fact in Christianity and Islam if you note, men are the ordained caretakers of society and women are allotted to men. Eve was given to Adam. In religion, there is a blatant inequality between men and woman when it comes to marriages and who marries who. I’m only telling it as it is.  In religion, women get married to men and that's why they take the man's lastname. I've never heard of one where women get to go and marry as many men as they choose.  Though now women could push for that to become law.

In today's society this uneven playing field between man and women has been levelled by the rule of law. It is now illegal and/or immoral for a married man to marry another woman while he is already married simply because women cannot marry several husbands at the same time. In western culture a man has to divorce his current wife legally before he can marry a new wife. However, westernized societies clearly permit non married couples to engage in fornication if they wish to. Common law spouses who are mere boyfriend and girlfriend, are expected to abide by the same principles that married people live by and are given the same rights under the law. In order words the constitution trumps the Bible or the Quran when it comes to marriage in the west and crime is more punishable than sin.

ie: If a boyfriend/girlfriend fornicates with someone other than their partner, she/he is considered to be cheating on the person whom they are with. And such cheating is considered to be immoral. But cross fornication is frowned upon in same manner that adultery is. yet, fornication is not? Is there a war against marriage?

I agree that any form of deceit kills trust. But I also think fornication is a sin and it does not matter how many people you do not fornicate with. Merely fornicating with a girlfriend/boyfriend or common law spouse no matter how much you love them, is a sin against you and your God. And just as adultery is sin so is fornication. I believe that we are all sinners in God's eyes and we can never be perfect. Therefore, a fornicator is in no way more moral than an adulterer even if the fornicator is faithful to their partner.  Therefore, he who has sin cannot condemn another.
 

              

On this issue of morality, it is import to note that the one man/one woman ideology is a non scriptural ideology which was incorporated into western constitutions and impacted into western moral values and taught to everyone in a western society or with a western thinking to create a balance of equality between women and men. An equality which is not found in the most common religions. This is the core issue concerning western influence in the Middle East for example. Insurgents are taught what they believe at a very young age and that's why it is almost impossible to convince them that the western way of looking at life is the better way. This is partly the reason why countries like China and North Korea do not allow Google to proliferate all its contents among their citizens. It is only when we look at a foreign matter from a western point of view that we may consider certain actions as unfair or immoral.  But the cause of these deviations in western thinking is based on our own hypocrisy.  Our society blends sin and good will but it deviates from religious restrictions.

So all said and done my final questions are: What are the ground rules of moral values in our way of life in western culture? Is it based on scriptures or is it based on the constitution?  Who do we answer to?

 "Blessed are they that do His Commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie." 
Revelation 22:14-15 KJV

      

When it comes to music composition and popular culture what is really at stake? Is it millions of dollars or is it young minds that are at stake? We all know that the television set is a portal which government and commercial industries use to channel the minds of people. The music industry increasingly became a similar threshold used to spread ideologies and that can be a good or bad thing depending on who you talk to. With rap music, I’ve noticed some references to an opponent referred to as ‘they’. Who is ‘they’? Some say it's the music industry and some say it's the part of the music industry which is controled by the illuminati. Where did ‘they’ come from and what do ‘they’ want? Many rappers who entered into the industry with raps about life in the hood and their infatuation to ghetto culture suddenly switch to raps about money? What once showed economic growth in the life of a rap star now points to more shadowy involvements into something far more sinister than sin itself?



There hasn’t been a genre in the history of music that has had as much controversy as hip hop. Rock-n-roll has its drug issues; Country music and even Opera artists have had their questionable moments. But much like anything else in life, if you interview both young and old people concerning their love for pop culture, across the globe you will find many who either say they love rap dearly or are completely repulsed by it. From soccer dads to hockey moms, religious undertakers to law enforcement you will find many who blame rap music for negative effects in society. Some cry out that it promotes the spreads of violence, but rappers point to Hollywood as the actual source. Some declare that rap exposes minors to profanity and rappers again point to other genres of music that are openly bizarre. Feminist groups’ voice out frustrations that rap is encouraging young women to engage in lasciviousness and licentiousness and the rappers highlight porn and go-go dancing industries as being worse than them. All positive aspects of the rap music is deliberately ignored thereby unsealing the imbalance of bigamy, the love for materialism etc, etc. But almost all of those same people reluctantly admit to the power behind hip hop culture, its trends, and its way of life which is proliferated through the genre we know as hip hop.

        

For those who do not know, the ‘Order of Illuminati’ is a secret society which was established in 1776 by Johann Adam Weishaupt, a German philosopher from Bavaria (a region in Germany). Since it’s a secret society, not much is known about what really goes on inside its walls. It’s best to assume that many of society’s elite professionals, the rich, some churches, the influential and even government officials normally engage as members of this large fraternity. More often, the police force is seen as its enforcers. Public accounts have linked this secret society to affluent catholic cultures. There are oaths of secrecy sworn by members upon induction and such members are believed to rise through ranks within the society which gives them an all access pass in our community - an exclusive access to opportunity and impunity that many will not enjoy unless they too belonged to the fraternity. The reach of this secret society is believed to be significant enough to dictate the structure of national culture, the socioeconomic distribution of wealth and opportunity, religious limitations and the construction of prominent traditions made constitutional. This mainly European fraternity believed to have influenced major western cultures such as the United States, The Great Britain, Canada and Australia is often seen as a shadowy sect that manipulates the day to day livelihood of everyone in these countries and beyond..

Hip hop in popular culture has arisen higher and attained a social, economic and traditional influence that has affected the minds of young people on an international level. And this influence is without the blessing of the Illuminati. That transformation from mere entertainment to cultural significance has stroke a nerve where power once flowed from. Deeply rooted executive and judiciary systems are no longer powerful enough to muffle the ideas of these self made millionaires who are now rap CEOs and artists distributed and broadcasted by bigger music, publishing and broadcasting groups. These music groups having sold their stakes away are now believed to be limitlessly manipulated by the Illuminati. With money and wealth acquired from record sales and psychological influence on young minds, rappers have gained a voice that could topple the silent yet subtle fraternities that once influenced the world and once had a prominent foothold in all of western culture. You find rappers like Tupac Shakur being slaughtered before he released his ‘Don Killuminati’ album and Jay z go from ‘Reasonable Doubt’ to the ‘Blue Print 3’.

              

Ironically, there is also the other opinion that claims that rap music is under attack, surveillance and maybe even under sabotage by members of certain unidentified but very powerful and influential fraternities. Is it similar to the rivalry between the mafia and major drug king pins who took over counties and boroughs? Is it?

FREDDY WILL™ released his second single entitled, ‘Athens Of West Africa’ from his upcoming Creole/Krio language album, (which title has not yet been announced).

‘Athens Of West Africa’ is a track that describes how Sierra Leone was once called the ‘Athens Of West Africa’. Having been the home to the British Governor General of West Africa during the colonial era Sierra Leone is the first country in the region to have had a full scale university. Fourah Bay College, the University of Sierra Leone was the ‘Athens of West Africa’ since it’s where many West Africans and their leaders received top notch education. Sierra Leone also has a slew of high profile secondary schools...

“It’s definitely a historic song. This time around I want to bring a wider and more positive awareness to Sierra Leone and its history.”

The self proclaimed hardest nigga on the streets – Styles P has returned to the lime light with yet another 'hood banger' entitled 'THE GREEN GHOST PROJECT' which was produced by DJ Green Lantern! Now what is a hood banger? A hood banger is a mixtape or album which was released under the hip hop genre that even though may not have been crammed with radio saturated hits, was and is widely played in the neighbourhood by almost every local. My debut album ‘While I’m Still Young’ was a hood banger. Yes, nearly every car that rides by with a bunch of true O.Gs in it is throbbing loudly with the new Green Ghost project mixtape by Styles P.

But this is not a surprise to anyone who knows what’s up. We all know that Drake and Young Money are the hottest new artists out right now as far as mainstream hip hop is concerned. Kid Cudi is running a close second place for air time while guys like T.I, Rick Ross and Ludacris are making a strong comeback. Nevertheless, it’s without question that even with the upsurge of lollipop rap music, gangsta rap is still holding it’s own. With the fall of high record sales by big name artists it's becoming common for mixtapes to be major bread earners. I happen to be a fan of gangata rap music as you will find in my own music. It doesn’t have to be gangster rap per say but it sure has to be and feel real.

               

Mystic Wolf aka.. Kerry L. Marzock

Poet, Novelist and member of Soul Asylum Poetry

I’ll be the first to admit. I am not much for a horror aficionado but I do have my intrigue for a good scare. If you ask me about my opinion of horror as a genre in books or movies, I’ll say it’s always better if one looks past the blood dripping teeth of a growling werewolf or a snarling vampire that aims to leech off the inner sanatorium of its prey. It is creepy. Eerie chills will sneaks into one’s soul when the realism of something like a ghost is actualized. This side of life often attributed to evil is one that science has not verified yet but it also captivates the very core of human interest in the worlds unknown. Especially since the usual stereotype surrounding the character of demonic beings and creatures and the evil they breath are all that most dredge up when these kinds of stories are told.

From the first page of Kerry L. Marzock’s book, Raven’s Way the reader quickly becomes engulfed in the tale of an unusual adventure in a world far from what most people are acustomed to. The plot is packed with ferocious surprises and readers should expect to experience marvels while discovering a species of human within our world both unseen and unknown by everyday man.

Her main character, Johnny, is the most innovative character ever presented to the reading public by an independent writer in a long time and one of the most enthralling. Kathleen, the heroine in the book, ‘is a strong-willed homicide detective whose life will be completely subsided during the recurring events’. This novel is an adventure, a horror story that encapsulates love, betrayal, a murder investigation, and hope.

‘Raven’s Rage’ is the sequel of ‘Raven’s Way’, and it is an all action second instalment in Kerry L. Marzock’s Raven’ series. Following the challenges of Johnny Raven the main character in Raven’s Way, he exacts revenge on the creatures that devastated his life.

Set to depict the dark side of the historic city of Philadelphia, this story now takes its readers deeper into the realm of the city’s rulers of the night. Soul Asylum Poetry describes it saying ‘Their blood lust is more terrifying than ever — and Johnny Raven intends to give them more of Philadelphia’s most eerie and infamous myths.

Once bitten by infected teeth, man and wolf combine to sing in lonely harmony. The wretched mind of the man is now locked inside the shadow of a beast, to rip and claw and tear, but to forever cry and pray for everlasting peace.

                   

“Many of us started 2010 with hopes that this year will bring us more luck, good health and FORTUNE. But less than a month after the ball dropped Haiti would see this New Year wish get shattered by utter catastrophe.  My prayers go out for all the souls that passed on during the earthquake in Haiti and also the survivors who are now stranded and are living in despair. May God continue to have mercy on us all and may God grant Haiti a redemption from such unimaginable calamity.” – FREDDY WILL

Is it safe to say R&B had mountains to move? In the 90’s when Hip Hop was emerging to surpass prominent genres like Rock n Roll and Country on a worldwide scale, it was often tagged with R&B under one category. But as time went on, urban cultures caught on in a massive way. You started hearing more and more Hip Hop coming from non – English speaking countries - Poland, Germany, Belgium and even Russia. Now we don’t only have Dutch Hip Hop, we have Arabic Hip Hop, Spanish Hip Hop and even Portuguese, Greek, Italian, and Danish youngsters are bringing out their versions of Hip Hop as well.

R&B and Hip Hop will always share a special connection musically. One genre compliments the other but it is no longer logical to class the two under the same category like it was done in the 90’s. With the collapse of the music industry during the recession of the late 00's new found appreciation of the internet in developing countries planted Hip Hop deeper into second and third world countries than ever before. Urban lifestyles became the most dominant and wide spread trend among young people in Africa for example. Countries like Senegal, Guinea, Nigeria, Kenya, Somalia, South Africa and the Ivory Coast are just a few of many places where rap music became dominant among the majority of hipsters.

But with all of its struggles and successes R&B continues to hold tight. One as a hook to many hit rap songs and two, as an independent genre which is ripping its way through the world of music listeners. During the last decade we saw a slew of new R&B artists emerge and disappear after only one album. We also saw some prominent artists disappear but some remained consistent through out the decade. Consistent in this context refers to all artists who had adversities, trials and successes but through hard work and perseverance managed to released at least three studio albums, collaborate with other artists and remained in the public eye (with an occasional new material) through out the decade.

Brandy – Its interesting how what a celebrity does in their personal life can affect their career even when they are clearly still talented. Our society has been brainwashed to sometimes recognise factors like glamour, money or gossip but talent which is the key ingredient in the mix gets to come last. So she was not really married to 'what’s the face' and she accidentally hit someone with her SUV. Sad as it is, that does not mean that she is not hard working and talented. In the last decade Brandy managed to release three solo albums. "Full Moon" which spun the hit singles “What About Us” went platinum after debuting on the top of Billboard’s R&B chart.

The following release entitled “Afrodisiac” was her fourth album which made it to number four on the billboard charts. Yes it suffered some set – backs but two years previously she was chalking away a platinum plaque. She had switched producers and featured Kanye West on the raining single “Talk About Our Love”. Then in 2008 when it looked like her career might be over the “I Wonna Be Down” superstar released her most recent album entitled “Human”. It was a dual label release as well as more internationally received. It was her lowest selling album and probable the best if you listen to it. However, the single “Right Here” was a worldwide hit and Brandy proved that she can not only ride in high tide but also low ones if need be.
