we go to work so we're straight home. lessons became the place where my dreams i felt like my dream could be realized and

i would like to stay here. i was 27 when i came here. i was inside me and my girlfriend we had a we had a place together so i was paying half the rainy she was paying to have to live so we were inside for 3 years. i met on the street here using i got off the. gallery down to drinking beer but her liver had already ran its course she needs she didn't want to get on the liver transplant so. she died from cirrhosis of the liver and the title. and write songs is stu's me based on something that i'm experienced or and something that's happened to me that's when the booze you know and then it comes

from within i mean gospel. army booze country. they all have. they all tell stories. when i didn't hear the last thing. that broke the law if put them. as far as the streets were you never know what's going to happen in a day in a week that's how things go you know there's not just. here is everywhere is like wildfire in the los angeles can. you just look right across the street a couple of blocks read that was a whole nother game it does not get along with decide over here. and we have real history right here is how the games are broke and then you have.

basically 3 different types of gangs actively going on now you have a crips was most of them don't get along you have the power was their star now not to get a loan or write a you have because you on the west side of compton and this is track meet clark which is the park i'm standing there right now and a t p c c group or conficker. with us it's never right and that's where i am in ca. my weapon dog man in the sim. is always some type who would dig me going i want to kind of keep everything out of work that was never like peace between businesses and the neighbors and the neighborhoods and the schools and the budgets and the whole each department everything was. back to some great and some to study and some obvious the town it got dropped the talent it would have been let it come out polies was kicking my dang it was basically kicked in against as. we needed to speak out against the. gangsta rap for me you know i'm saying.

it was a cry for attention like you know this is what's going on over here we don't bring lights it is we don't make make sure that you guys know who's ball in the 2nd. hole . this is part of the steve. i cannot talk to you right now i'm on i'm on camera i would speak to you about 1015 minutes a day in the head with that. ok. a business call. more work. more gigs more excitement. this is how i live.

harlem some place for you where you go to find jazz and blues and r. and b. . you find that you also upon the punk energy. you can live your life very stately and die and. or you can be loud. very very. uneven by other people who enjoy

that same volume. the main emotion. that i feel for this city is constant motion

constant velocity everything moves all at once and. sometimes it works sometimes we get in each of those way but there are like over like 8000000 of us in this city so we get along as best we can sometimes we don't but this is the excitement of the chaos that i live 'd in this is what fuels by music this is what fuels me i like the noise don't ask me why i was born here i like the noise with us j.s. of all rock n roll or. this is what i have but i do. watch. i perform. where of the work is i enjoy performing with the people or

sometimes you get lucky sometimes you don't this is. wall street this is rotten. for her because. the system straightened out.

from our friends for you to see a public service i'm sorry to hear i'm just here for those who just came out of one of those films at. least. to. sleep. sleep sleep. sleep. a lot of it started with the spirituals because the spirituals during the

days of slavery. work means of communication for. the slaves to communicate to each other about what was getting ready to happen like steal away steal away steal away to jesus they were getting ready to use the sounds doing the underground railroad to communicate with each other they were singing they were not allowed to read the bibles. and they were fleeing from from the south to the north and spirituals choir sing them but there they really have a message if you listen to.

the minister gets up to preach there should be nothing for him to do but to give the word and as the levites used to prepare the music and with the harps and the flute they prepared the way for the for the for the message to be given and church music to me does the same when you don't have hope you know the song this is you know i need the every hour. and it's kind of like

a prayer because you it just helps you remember all the things that he's brought you. true. because especially during times of sadness people are. they don't have money. and sometimes you just need that song and sometimes it's not a docile song though it just may be a song just hearing joy to the world the lord has come and then now and then there's another version of there is joy to the world. the gospel just takes a different different twist to a song that we all know but it gives people hope i think that gospel music gives you hope it gives you peace and it gives you joy you know the young people they have a different beat you know i'm still the same. with

. everything. from grace to rap. it had to happen. had to happen there was it was inevitable we call against right now but it was actually story corps reality red perfect example so easy lyrics he said woke. about knowing just dog that i had to be compton so got to get drunk before my day begins before my mama start bitching about my friends basic you understand everything i'm saying right here my reality is simple captive born and raised. fatherless child you know sam a father died when i was a baby momma was a crack if we all have our stories i had to earn my respect in the streets in order to just survive in kind and it was it was more of a necessity to say what you had to say like. you know i'm saying like the battery

you know sand i mean you know sand these are words that people understand where we come from so when you put that in a song that's when everybody will gravitate to. you cannot be with yet you like. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to air

force base in alaska where is that to say come on i'll show you what's the reason for any type of enhanced u.s. military presence in this area russia. what is it suddenly about the south china sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have nuclear weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so that's why we're going to drill down on this story for you today right here. on the news or direction chaz where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly it's time to do news again.
