The mind of an Intricate Wordsmith
Years ago, I covered Sierra Leone in a two-part blog about music and dance cultures in Africa. If you would like to read that article, click HERE. The universe has bestowed the fascinating country of Sierra Leone with hundreds, if not thousands of talented people. One of the areas of such a celebrity is in the field of music.
To my knowledge, besides Neneh Cherry, no other musician has had a more remarkable career in the music history of Sierra Leone. I know this latest generation of Afrobeat-infused Hip Hop fans will be shocked to hear this.

Is it me or has it become exemplary for domestic offenders to entrap US artists while touring abroad? Their ruse is rather apparent. They’d rob the US artist like they did Kim Kardashian West in Paris. According to court documents, several masked men robbed Mrs. West at gunpoint when she stayed at a five-star hotel during Paris Fashion Week.
“Crime Rhymez” is an ensuing publication. I will release it off Badson Publishing and E-Launch Media Inc. It should be available in all major book stores. As of August 22nd, 2019, there will be physical and digital editions around the world. Crime Rhymez is the 10th-anniversary celebration of “My Book of Chrymes.” That was my first book. Soul Asylum Poetry & Publishing published it on August 11th, 2009 in Ontario, Canada.
Check out this dope shit about Europe. So we all know that every country has its language, culture, mentality, cuisine, and even dress code on this continent. Do you know that they play the same movies on TV that we have in Canada and the United States?
