It's that time so i bust a rhyme to define, how we celebrate and shine, after the grind
At my peoples I holla, cause it's holla day time
Aint no stoppin us now, we take a vow, to come to the Karamu
and stay a little while
to relax with the fam
and have a feast
It's been a good year cause we conquered the beast
We conquered all fear now we chillin in peace
ready for the new year
it's time for resolutions
soulutions
afromations
visualizations
We unite as one, in supreme elevation
Praisin the lord for divine creation
Happy Kwanzaa
It's Kwanzaa, clap your hands and through em up
Let your feet tap, come to the feast and kick back
You might even get the itis, and take a nap
But it's alright fam, cause its all about fam
You'll ressurect when we pray and hold hands
cause yo, we light a candle, every day
and pray that we always play this way.
and stay this way and praise this day
So keep the Kwanzaa Swagga, everyday
and find yourself in the kwanzaa spot today
Happy Kwanzaa
It's Kwanzaa, thanks to Maulana Karenga
For keeping the connect with Africa
The first fruits, in Kwazulu and Swahili
It reminds me of the color purple
with Miss Cieli,
and her children
It's glam to have fam, in the building
We reconnect---
With love in effect
It don't matter your religion
It's Africa we rep
To the Ancestors, We pour libations
and give thanks for the future generations
It's Kwanzaa
Happy Kwanzaa

It was Kamal Imani's first time performing his spoken word/Neo Soul song "Lovin Her Nappy Nappy" live at the Bowery. He wanted to rock it right for promoter and CEO of Brown Eyez Magazines "PJ". The audience was with him and they all had a good time lovin the nappy nappy. This song is a tribute and dedication to natural hair styles and the sisters who rock them. It is also laced with humor and flirtation. Enjoy!

Up in the Attic Hip Hop Throwback Movie*
Back in the days in the 1980's hip hop era, it was all about peace, love, unity and having fun! All in one epoch of time there was the fusion of black consciousness, hip hop, and drugs. On top of that, teenagers will do what teenagers will do. This movie has a comedic realism along with some serious lessons to be learned. It is the perfect conversation piece for parents and their children as well as educators.

Hi! My name is Jay B. Walker A.K.A. Zyyro. I am an artist, activist and director in film and tv who left the security of working in TV in NYC to keep my sister's ATL based non-profit alive. .A passion for change fuels my life. It fueled my sister's life too. She was a Doctor, Classical Singer and a Filmaker Educated at Howard University. A true Renaissance woman.
From Medicine to Music to Movies.....she did it all and started a non-profit in ATL to create excitement about learning through teaching film production.She supported it out of her pocket from 1997 til passing away in April 2008. I am attempting to keep her dream alive and continue making "CHANGE" a reality. I need your help though.

I am selling the "CHANGE SHIRT" at www.jetfuelforrevolution.com. The first one is limited to only 2000 pieces and will be a collectors item.
THE CHANGE SHIRT MAKES CHANGES!!! The next limited editions will be offered in other colors. I would appreciate your support by buying one for you and friends as gifts...or just spreading the word.
The name of the non-profit is MADE4YAYA, standing for: MUSIC-ARTS-DRAMA-EDUCATION-4-YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS.
Your purchase is tax deductible.
