In our hip-hop lives we make rhymes we make beats we go big or go home. - Esme from Sister Mischief

The definition of brilliance is redoing failures different each time and expecting successful results.

Uncommon success is found on the spiritual plane; you can't get there through common convention or following others. Hard work is not enough; many work slavishly-hard for little reward. Intelligence is insufficient; how many educated and brilliant people there are who fail utterly and completely. Goodness is not enough; how many meek and good souls are tilled into the earth like manure by demigods to fertilize their golden crops. There is something more _ it is the unseen essential, and everyone has access to it.

When you are clearly-defined, deliberate with intention and operating at your highest level, your brilliance cannot be hidden, diminished or overshadowed.

Our talents are living things, we give birth to them, nourish them till they grow and become immortal.

Hip-hop...has been the proverbial key that__ opened the door for me to roam this breathtaking planet.
