Central New Jerseys' indie rapper and independent author FREDDY WILL  sets to unleash his self written book entitled 'MY BOOK OF CHRYMES'  with a new version of his 2008 debut album entitled 'WHILE I'M STILL YOUNG - THE TALKING DRUMS'.  

Originally intended to be a re- release of his debut album with three (3) additional tracks, 'WHILE I'M STILL YOUNG - YOUNG THE TALKING DRUMS 1.2v' now contains nine (9) new tracks with some exciting features. It is looking more like his sophomore album.

 
The Liberian raised, Freetown, Sierra Leone born American, grew up in West Africa idolizing the likes of Ice T, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Treach (of Naughty By Nature), Scarface, Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre and The Notorious B.I.G., just to name a few hip hop stars who influenced his style. He recently joined forces with SOUL ASYLUM POETRY AND PUBLISHING INC, in Ontario, Canada to publish two books; one of which will be released on August 11TH, 2009. Some times good people do bad things out of necessity. A lost soul must find it's own way to the light by fighting through mental captivity, war, psychological discrimination, tribalism, poverty, and racism in high places.

                                    

"MY BOOK OF CHRYMES" is about some of FREDDY WILL's encounters before, during and after the civil wars in Liberia and the hurtling slum like ghetto life he lived in Sierra Leone. A second 1992 civil war brought more terror, death and torture to many and 'MY BOOK OF CHRYMES' details his refugee experiences in crocodile estates like The Gambia and also in the Woolof and French lands of Dakar, Senegal in West Africa. 

The chronicles in the book and album reveals a connection bewteen FREDDY WILL'S life experiences and his music and it gives commentary on how certain songs came to be written. Most of the songs on his debut album were written during a time of war or while he lived on refugee status at different times during a despairing period of time in West Africa. It compares his encounters with tribalism in AFRICA to his experiences with racism in the United States, connecting it to his inevitable plunge into the streets of New Jersey where he relived several old experiences at the same time as he was learning new lessons. 

                                   

With his worst days behind him and a new sun in the horizon, FREDDY WILL ventures to begin living a new life of prosperity and providence while educating all who wish to learn about the woes of the tormoils he has seen. As a rapper who has had his share of street credibility from rubber plantations and red dirt roads in Liberia to the lonely ghetto slums of Bo and Freetown, Sierra Leone, through the edges of refugee communities in the Gambia and Senegal doing whatever it took to hustle and survive in the mid to late 90's. As an author, Wilfred Kanu Jr. aspires to walk in the shadows of the likes of great storytellers like William Shakespeare and John Grisham. With a background in Theatre Arts he aspires to bring the West African and Caribbean/West Indies' story to the big screen in Europe, Canada, Asia and The United States Of America. As a philanthropist he wants to help bring comfort to the sick, the cripple and the orphan.
