No Fear (Overcome)
B.I.Z. the messenger - produced by The Hendrix Brothers

Verse 1:
We in the middle of a revolutionary front,
not with nobody else brother look in the mirror,
yes,
the war it lies in your own eyes,
a little dough and a queen you call a hoe is what makes up your self pride?
we make claims to corners and not 40 acres,
praising stocks and white blocks and not our maker,
saying nigga cuz we niggas in our minds,
but the nigga comes from the Willie Lynch rhyme,
sign of the times,
press the rewind,
50 years ago,
we followed color signs,
holding the same mind,
dropping King's plan,
leave the negro at least be a Black man,
yea I understand,
I'm in the grind too,
if Harriet was here,
what would she do,
I think she'd break free,
middle finger to the system you ain't holding me,
so follow me

Verse 2:
Have you ever seen a moutaintop,
can you imagine,
posted up looking over,
seeing the dream that you seen in your dreams,
in full view,
the message that you spreading is now looking at you,
and then you,
let the people know that its right there,
and in the same breath say I aint going wit cha,
but I can paint a picture,
so you can recognize on a arrival,
rely on yo instinct we built for survival,
waking up the next day,
know you bout to be gone,
only praying to God yo words aint a lost song,
looking down from the sky,
wonder where you went wrong,
knowing this aint what you bled, sweat, cried so long
for that door to the promise land is open,
just how you spoke it,
we afraid to poke it,
peeking,
Brother Martin know that I'm reaching,
why you think I'm teaching,
overcoming preaching

Senghor Reid's Film Scored by The Hendrix Brothers

People,
If you're in Detroit before November 2nd, check out the film we scored. It's small (15min) and part of an larger project, but it's still a piece of history we were able to be apart of so we're definitely not complaining.

It was conceived and created by world renown artist - Senghor Reid - from Detroit. It's a still shot representation of the life and business of Woodward. Details on time and location are below.

Peace!!!!

Thanks to all for the support and patience this year! It's been a long road but we - The Hendrix Brothers - are almost there. We've scored a "documentary" and have three projects almost ready for release from our Camp - some instrumental concept albums and some Hip Hop/R&B/Soul albums too.

Additionally, we've been completing all the needed requirements so we can OFFICIALLY give you that product you've been waiting for - at any location.

So please...stay tuned 'cause once everything's ready, be on the lookout! Not only for the different products but for the listening parties and concerts.

...Who Will Be The Hip-Hop Savior????

As a Lover of Hip Hop and a former "Hip-Hop-Head-Backpacker", I have to say a little something:

What I would like to see is a detailed report on all the "bad" Hip Hop ALBUMS with a clear analysis on all the songs. My only problem is the people that criticize Hip Hop either don't listen to a large variety of Hip Hop music or hear one song on the radio or see it on BET and mold their opinions based off that. Here's 3 Facts:

1) People fail to realize who actually controls the media outlets and who will only play and show what they want people to hear, see or what makes their company money.
2) At least 80% of Hip Hop is bought by Non-Blacks and most shows are filled with Non-Blacks. Therefore, they control what will be played and seen most of the time. Ask yourself why they want to see and hear certain lyrics and music so much....
3) The record companies will only want their artists to record what's commercial - if they don't, they are released from the label or the album is shelved...in other words, their salary and benefits are ceased.

I DON'T CONDONE NEGATIVE LYRICS - corporate america dictates what you will and won't do. When you make music a business and release it from being an artform, it's very existence..it's reason for being an artform is no longer on the table. The love for music becomes the love for money. And if the love for money is the true root of evil, then it will be hard for a large percentage of the business to move in a positive direction on a consistent basis.

This is nothing new...minstrel shows, Hollywood Stepin Fetchit days, 'Blaxploitation' era (coined by someone who wasn't Black)...we are focusing so much on the smallest issues and battles, that we miss the real issue and lose the WAR! Even more, we haven't even focused on who we need to protest because we turn on each other!

Holla at me when you listen to ONE Tribe Called Quest album or some BDP or if you REALLY listened to NWA's song "F**k the Police" or Ice Cube's "Death Certificate" album...I could go on and on...

Peace.

-Mike

The Hendrix Brothers...stay tuned!
