Ways children can enjoy a fun, non-scary Halloween.

Some children are terrified by scary costumes. Parents don’t want

them to miss out on the fun, just avoid the creepier aspects. Is it possible to celebrate a haunt-less Halloween? Absolutely! Here are alternative trick-or-treat activities.

Truck-or-Treat/Trunk-or-Treat. Organize a group of friends to pass

out candy from the trunks of their cars or truck beds. Choose a

non-spooky theme, like Disney movies, and host a costume contest.

Families can even decorate vehicles in keeping with theme.

Educational costumes. There’s a whole world of non-scary costume

ideas to choose from. Children can dress up as characters in books,

children shows or nursery rhymes. They might dress as famous

people, favorite animals or in occupational attire. Encourage kids

to create costumes from recycled materials. This saves money too.

Safe houses. Ask around your neighborhood to find out who plans

to decorate with a haunted theme. Map out a trick-or-treat route

that bypasses those homes.

Candy hunt. Maybe you live far from town or in a rural area? That

makes trick-or-treat challenging enough as it is. So skip door-to-

door. Instead, hide candy in the yard and let children hunt for it. Let

children dress in costume. If you have a large piece of property, this

could be a great adventure!

LARP candy quest. Turn your backyard or house into a non-scary,

live-action role play Halloween video game. Decide on a theme.

Children invent a character and create costumes. Parents or older

siblings might draw a treasure map, set tasks children must com-

plete or write riddles to help little ones find candy.

Life-size Candyland. Create a living Candyland board game in the

backyard. Invite neighbors to participate. Adults dress as characters

and create stations based on the game.

Harvest gala Forego the Halloween theme altogether and focus on fall. Set up autumn crafts and game stations in your barn, backyard

or garage. Make a hay maze. Hide candy in leaf piles. Carve or paint

pumpkins. Bob for apples. Make popcorn balls. Serve cider and

donuts.

Nursing home trick-or-treating. Here’s a win-win idea: children get

to trick-or-treat in safe, controlled environments and lonely elderly

folks get to enjoy Halloween with the kids. Check senior homes in

your area for trick-or-treat opportunities.

Pay it forward. Teach children that Hallween can be about giving

as well as getting. Turn one of above-listed ideas into a fundraising

event. Sell tickets and donate the proceeds. In lieu of a fee, collect

canned goods for a food pantry. Gather animal care supplies for

your local Humane Society.

Be sure to film the frolics share video copies with family far away. Halloween doesn’t have to be scary to be fun. It just takes is a little ingenuity and resourcefulness for everyone to have a good time.

There is a true way to trick-or-treat correctly.

Halloween has become such a big deal over the years that it

almost seems like it needs a longer season to it, much like

Christmas. Haunted houses, parties, costume contests, and so

much more fill the month of October and keeps adults entertained

beyond all belief. But we can’t forget about the kids who are out

there for the dress-up and most of all, the trick-or-treating.

When taking your children trick-or-treating, adults need to

remember that it truly is all about them. It isn’t about getting

things done as quickly as possible so that the grown-ups can head

out to parties or whatever else is planned. These kids look forward

to this all year long and they need to enjoy it. That is why there

truly are certain times which are best for trick-or-treating and

some that parents need to just work to avoid entirely.

~ Don’t go during the daytimeKids don’t enjoy this. They truly don’t. Halloween is about trying to

be frightening or having at least a bit of scariness behind it even if

their costumes don’t portray it. Going during the day totally ruins

any little amount of fear they may have inside them. While it is

true that children aren’t looking to be frightened out of their wits,

it is in them to have a little bit of anticipation as to what could be

behind the next tree or sitting on the upcoming porch.

~ Don’t go too late in the evening

Going out too late is only going to result in one thing and that is

taking away from the kids’ chance of getting the good candy. Head

out too much later and it could result in the children not getting

any candy at all. Most smart adults aren’t going to have their kids

out too late anyway so it also takes away from allowing your kids

to enjoy the costumes of others.

This also helps little ones avoid the sight of the older kids making

a mockery of things and causing trouble. The less bad influences,

the better.

~ Hit the streets at duskHeading out right as the sun begins to go down and the night

starts to creep in is a rather decent time for the door-to-door

knocking and requests for treats. It is just light enough for them to

see and actually that makes it an ideal time for the real little ones

who may be too scared to be out into the darkness.

~ Starting out around 7:00 or 7:30 PM is your best betMaybe it isn’t the “witching hour,” but it sure is a great time to

go hunting for the best candy. Night has essentially fallen at this

time of year and the moon will be overhead. It’s early enough for

there to be lots of costumes all over the place meaning your kids

will enjoy the interaction with others and seeing how their outfits

compare. It also gives them the feeling like they are out much

later then they should be.

How to spot Emotional Abuse and see it as the Domestic Violence that it is!

The signs of physical abuse are obvious, but many women suffer the

invisible abuse of emotional violence that leaves them confused and

disoriented. There are many tactics to this kind of abuse, but an over-

riding sign is that real communication is impossible, which means

nothing ever gets resolved in the relationship. In fact, there is a con-

stant barrage of insidious mental bullying that is hard to catch at first

if you don’t know the signs.

Typically, you’ll be involved with a narcissist, but you’ve never even

heard what it means to deal with a narcissist. With a narcissist every-

thing is about him. A narcissist craves to be the center of attention

and can never be inconvenienced by the mundane. While we deplore

the way they ignore our needs and refuse to accept responsibility and

be accountable for the many ways they harm us, we vividly remember

the extraordinary charm and attentiveness they showed at the beginning

of the relationship. Often we find ourselves stuck responding to their

immature, childish neediness, and feel compelled to help and mother

them.

Your idyllic relationship starts to unravel the moment you finally bring

up a need or concern of your own (a few months into the relationship

when the honeymoon phase has ended), and you’ll find yourself baffled

by their cruelty. One of the easiest signs to spot is the frequent use of

the silent treatment as emotional torture. Anytime you bring up any

concern or need, you are made to feel like you are starting a fight, and

one of the most immediate responses is the silent treatment. This

silent treatment generally lasts a few days to a few weeks. Out of the

blue, they will no longer respond to your texts or phone calls, often

you’re not even sure what happened. You feel disoriented and con-

fused. What ever you do, don’t make excuses for them, like they need

some time out, or they aren’t used to being in a relationship, because

the truth is that the silent treatment is deliberately being used as a

punishment. In fact, silent treatments are one of the most destructive

forces in abusive relationships. Signs to watch out for:

> They frequently have temper tantrums over little things (feeling like you

have to walk on egg shells)

> Anytime you bring up a concern it gets turned around back on you (they

project it back on you)

> They trivialize your concerns by mocking you

> They deny something happened (gas-lighting)

> Their criticism comes in the form of underhanded jokes

> They make false accusations to you, like you never pick up the phone, or

you’re always late, or you’re cheating

> They make themselves unavailable, and generally treat you as low prior-

ity......unimportant

> They blame you for everything including their depression

> They never reassure you... it amuses them when you are hurt

> They never apologize, because they generally cannot feel empathy

> When they come back after a silent treatment, they will act like nothing

happened.

> They triangulate you either with another woman or one of their own

family members, and then make fun of you calling you jealous.

> They try to “keep you in your place” by “forgetting” anniversaries,

Valentine’s Day and are terrible gift givers

> They purposely withhold information to keep you in the dark either

through being evasive or by using little lies. They get a kick out of know-

ing something you don’t know. It gives them a sense of power over you.

> They throw a temper tantrum to ruin any special events, like when you

are out of town visiting family

> They seem to act like selfish 2 year olds that want everything when they

want it or they’ll throw a fit.

Know the signs! “Save You or Someone Close to You!

breast cancer awareness monthAwareness... Prevention and Treatment

Breast cancer tumor can take a long time to develop, so early detection via mammogram may be too late. Mammograms and some other early detection devices may be too late in changing the course of the disease.

Breast cancer is the the leading cancer killer of young women in the United States.

The regular breast self exams that women are encouraged to do,

do not appear to reduce breast cancer mortality, the effects of

physician breast examination are unknown, and it is not clear that

screening for breast cancer with mammography, thermography,

ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging does more good than

harm on a population level because of the need to balance the

cases in which there is benefit with the number of unnecessary

biopsies and surgeries.

You should still be doing breast self-exams every month, breast cancer when caught in the very early stages is now 95% curable.

In conjunction with family history and external input, like the birth control pill can act as “fertilizer” to certain susceptible tumors, can certainly speed up the tumor process.

> A plant-based diet may be beneficial in preventing, slowing

down, and even reversing breast cancer.

> Diets containing less meat will reduce the risk of breast can-

cer by lowering one’s exposure to anabolic steroids, heterocyclic

amines.

> Dairy contains hormones that may increase breast cancer risk

directly, or indirectly by contributing to premature puberty.

> Melatonin suppression by meat and dairy may also contribute.

> Organic strawberries block cancer cell growth and, other ber-

ries, may block breast-cell DNA damage. Apples also reduce breast

cancer risk. Soy foods have the distinction of both helping prevent

breast cancer, by supporting normal pubertal development, and

improving survival, especially for women on Tamoxifen.

> To decrease your risk of breast cancer, daily tea consumption,

flax seeds, black beans, turmeric, and an hour of exercise every day.

> There are some plant foods, though, that it may help to avoid.

Kimchi, acrylamide in crispy carbs, and alcohol increase’s risk. The

good news is that numerous vegetables, may be protective against

breast cancer. The most useful are likely cruciferous vegetables

(such as broccoli, kale, and cabbage) and allium family vegetables

(such as garlic, onions and leeks).

> (Shocker) Eating an egg a day ‘increases’ your odds of breast

cancer by ‘three’ times.

U Revolution Entertainment (NU Revo) is the always-

professional, ever-expanding, world-wide movement cre-

ated by the CEO-Artist WORDSMITH. Our Mission is to

entertain and educate through a Message of Purpose, and

always by example relate that message through clean,

quality, and marketable Music for the Masses.

“NU Revo” is home based in Baltimore, Maryland and we strive to build

lasting relationships within our community, personally with fans and pro-

fessionally with clients. We look to connect with established franchises

that employ LIVE music and provide their clientele motivational enter-

tainment with a meaningful message. We offer performance packages

featuring Wordsmith with his LIVE Band tailored to fit any venue or event

parameters and we guarantee the very best audience friendly content.

NU Revolution is making great strides in the independent music scene

and the biggest opportunity came in April 2015. Wordsmith and his LIVE

Band joined forces with the Armed Forces Entertainment for a 19 day

overseas concert tour! Wordsmith traveled to Djibouti, Qatar, UAE, Kuwait

and Bahrain to perform for U.S. military personnel stationed there. This

was a tremendous honor and we would like to provide the same high

quality entertainment to audiences all over the country.

Wordsmith is an Indie artist in full control of his musical career. The

emcee from Baltimore looks to represent his city on national and inter-

national stages with his Conscious-Commercial Hip-Hop and theatrical

stage shows. His list of accomplishments reads like a major label artist,

and his commitment to the business and the art has allowed “NU Revo”

to remain independent. His story is as inspirational and uplifting as his

music.

As a Hip-Hop artist and songwriter, Wordsmith has outgrown and over-

come the negative stereotypes of the urban music genres. He has earned

his chances and performed shows for grade schools and colleges, clubs

and bars, venues and theaters, even conferences and festivals. His music

is free of profanity, full of message driven content and his dramatic style

is embraced by Rock, Pop, Alternative, even Jazz music audiences.

Wordsmith’s cross-genre appeal and growing fame demanded a profes-

sional presentation for a widely diverse audience. He welcomed the

challenge in building a LIVE Band and embraced his own evolution as an

artist to a front man knowing his efforts would enhance his concert per-

formances and garner more reputable, more prolific gigs. Now Wordsmith

will only take the stage with his LIVE Band behind him.

Wordsmith has developed corporate approval through the licensing

of over 30 songs for film, television, internet video, video games and

advertisement purposes with companies like NFL Network, CBS, NBC, Fox, Style, Bravo, Nintendo Wii and many more. Recent ad placements include

Wordsmith’s “When in Doubt Give it Your Best” used by PS4 Hustle Kings trailer as well as “We Do It Better” used by Red Bull’s Street Skating Mystic Sk8 Cup.

A recent TV placement featured Wordsmith’s “Grudges & Growing Pains” on the new ESPN show Snoop & Son: A Dad’s Dream (season 1, episode 3). Wordsmith also secured his biggest film placement

with his song “Happy Hour the Universal Blackout” used in the

soundtrack of the new movie Hollidaysburg.

For 4 years running Wordsmith has earned the ASCAPlus Award

from his PRO Society for his extensive catalog of licensed music.

Wordsmith has several albums released to his credit that are

available for purchase on iTunes, Amazon and other stores where

digital music is sold; Wordsmith’s Blue Collar Recital, King Noah, and Vintage Experience albums can all be found on his Pandora

radio station. His newest album Apt. 507 is available digitally

everywhere NOW and with physical distribution.


Exclusive Interview

For Wordsmith, music is a constant balance of art and business where

to be successful means always looking to further both at once. NU

Revolution has capitalized off Wordsmith’s good reputation and grow-

ing fan base by securing professional clothing sponsorships with local

outlet Route One Apparel and international outfitter Rude Boy Cloth-

ing. Wordsmith and his NU Revolution brand are steady growing with

the help of these new business partners.

Wordsmith has toured throughout his career with stops in New York,

Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, Las Vegas, Boston, Baltimore,

Washington DC, Charlotte, Indianapolis, San Jose, Harrisburg, and over-

seas in London, England. In 2015, he will continue that trend as he and

his band tour overseas US military bases in Africa and Southwest Asia

with Armed Forces Entertainment. With this tour Wordsmith expects

to explode on the international scene!

Wordsmith has both lectured and performed at various music confer-

ences around the country sharing his great music and professional ex-

perience with other indie artists; conferences include SXSW, A3C, Mid

Atlantic Music, Millennium Music, Launch and more. Wordsmith also

visits grade schools to perform for students and promote Anti-bullying

narratives and a message of purpose.

Wordsmith’s Purpose, his Dream can be seen clearly in his current, suc-

cessful crowdfunding campaign with Indiegogo. Wordsmith looks to

utilize Indiegogo’s established network to connect personally with fans

and funders around the globe and raise the necessary capital to prop-

erly advance his music career. Flex funding means anyone may donate

at any time.

Wordsmith has always been an ideal candidate for public entertain-

ment and now incorporating elements of a LIVE band confirms his

act is bankable. The LIVE Band was built in order to capture greater

performance opportunities for the artist on the rise. Now with Word-

smith’s momentum, NU Revolution Entertainment fully intends to ex-

pose him to mainstream audiences with LIVE Band support.

What is your current state of residence and origin? I currently live in Baltimore City not too far from M&T Bank Stadium and

Camden Yards. Originally I was born in Germany while my pops was sta-

tioned out there in the Army; I still hold dual citizenship with Germany

and the US.

When and what inspired the stage name ‘Wordsmith’? I came across Wordsmith one day while writing a rhyme that featured the

word blacksmith in it. It was like that moment of truth when I stopped

and thought about how a blacksmith shapes and repairs things with their

hands. I metaphored it to music and thought about how I create a verse,

hook, bridge and an overall song; I was sold.

Your story is ‘as inspirational’ and uplifting ‘as your music’. Fill us in! Being a single father raising an 11 year old I adopted and a 4 year old that

shares my blood life is a daily challenge. I still work part time as a Govt

Contractor; holding a secret clearance, while chasing my music dreams.

How many artists do you know perform in Southwest Asia and Africa just

to come back home to a blue collar job. Still, all of these challenges make

me special in my own right and allows me to be sympathetic to the world.

My struggles push me to uplift others and most of all give them a perspec-

tive on life; it all starts with seeking out your purpose and seeing why God

put you here.

Tell us about your latest debut album, single and the inspiration be-hind the title(s), sound and storytelling. What can the listeners expect? Any Videos, off the album, released yet? My latest project is called “Apt. 507”, which is actually my apartment num-

ber in the historical building in Baltimore City I live in. I have such a

great view of Baltimore through my bay windows that I mentally put a

soundtrack to the hustle and bustle of the city. I chose Bluesy, Jazzy and

of course Hip Hop undertones as the backdrop to the production of the

album. City life to me has a certain sound, so I looked to capture that along

with touching on everyday subjects of blue collar life. I personally shot 6

videos for Apt. 507 that can be viewed at Youtube.com/Wordsmith while

the album can be bought on Itunes.com, Amazon.com, BestBuy.com, Target.

com, and in several mom and pop record stores across the US.

Medical Downsides That May Exist!

No one would deny that technology has effected all of our lives and with

one of my daughters being a computer engineer, it’s a constant reminder.

Many great things have resulted for sure but for every good one there are

bad things too. Try on electronic medical records! Most people don’t realize

that there are also medical downsides to this electronic revolution, so let’s

review them.

PROS AND CONS OF OUR COMPUTER AgE

All electronic equipment gives off radia-

tion that if close enough and constant

enough can affect our cellular DNA.

Whether nuclear, ultraviolet, cell phone,

router, etc., etc., we are starting to see

some worrisome associations. Cell phones and brain tumors, Low

“T” Syndrome in men with cell phones tucked into their pockets

and cancer of the pancreas on lap top users. Regardless, radia-

tion is bad for our DNA so keep it away. Just because you can’t

see it doesn’t mean that it can’t hurt you like when you get close

to a large TV and your hair goes straight out like Howard Stern

because of the radiation.

light me up

1.

Electronic e-books have become very

popular because of their convenience and

also the accessibility of getting books but

they give off a blue light and it has been

found to disrupt melatonin release for

sleep. As a result, if you are reading in bed prior to sleep it will

be hard to get to sleep. I guess it likes reading an action thriller

which releases epinephrine and cortisol which wakes you up.

Reading them however with an electronic book will put a double

whammy on you, unable to sleep with your eyes WIDE OPEN, like

an owl with his pants on fire!

read me a story

2.

Now, thanks to technology we have

3D printers. The only problem is that

they give off UFP’S or ultra-fine par-

ticles of less than 100 nanometers that

when inhaled go directly into our blood

streams. They find their way everywhere including the brain

causing free radicles and inflammation. It’s now recommended

that a large fume hood be used in a well ventilated room while

using them but that remains to be seen. Here again technology

and the human species, juxtaposition in an unhealthy relation-

ship and opposites don’t necessarily attract!

“Dying to be Angry”

A riveting account of an unparalleled journey through emotional

struggle, Dying to be Angry is author, Holland Meissner’s freshman

debut. This book reveals the socialization of a lady and the chal-

lenge to balance being human and with being proper. Revealing

the roots to oppressed anger, unleashes a firestorm in Meissner’s

life that leads to the unmaking and rebuilding of a human being.

This book is raw and written in today’s vernacular. The language is

obtuse and profane at times, but it authentically relays the message

of anger and its roots. In one chapter Meissner seems defeated, “I

hope you never know the sting of someone saying they are sorry

after they have hurt you to your core---and you know they do not

mean it.” And, in a next, she is controllably enraged as she recounts

events from her childhood— “Here this six foot tall coward was

crouched beside a bed full of little girls.”

This book is intended to point out the dangers of encouraging sup-

pression of emotions in place of teaching appropriate dispelling of

toxic feelings. This book is purposely a quick read and geared

toward mature readers at all levels.

Never look down on yourself or let any-one belittle you. You are Gods masterpiece, created in His image and likeness. In all the world there can never be another you. You are special and unique. Amazing just the way you are.

Some people may not get you and may try

to bring you down but stand tall, you are the apple of Gods eye. He’s mindful of you and has great plans for you. Not everyone will like you, Jesus wasn’t liked by all. They sought to kill him.

I know sometimes we want to be approved and accepted by people but you need to know your place in God and carry yourself the way God sees you. When you do, you will not need to beg or look for acceptance. The right people will come around you.

“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Ephesians 2:10 NLT

Be encouraged. You are Gods masterpiece, His treasured pos-session. Be Inspired! With Love, Eloho

“Destiny” best describes the recent partnerships between 4th Disciple and the late Sean Price.

On August 5th, 4th Disciple, Price and Rhasun Tapp of Blakglobe Music Group got together for a session in Staten Island at Code Red Studios. The session also included Wu-Tang’s Inspectah Deck, Lounga Lo, Remedy (Code Red Entertainment) and up and coming MC, RIM from the group Davillins on Ruckdown Records.

Initially, 4th Disciple and Price were going to record one or two tracks together but the unmistakable musical chem-istry between 4th Disciple’s production and Price’s flow made these artists come to a mutual agreement to record a full length album featuring Deck, completely produced by 4th Disciple. The two-day all night sessions generated three verses from Price, two of them blessed by Deck which flow over dope 4th Disciple beats. Price and 4th decide to take a break and agree to reunite on Monday, August 10th, to finish the project.

On Saturday, August 8th, 4th learned of the tragic passing of

Sean Price from a family member:

“Me and P had just only recently met but it felt like I had known him for years. He was a truthful Brother, Hip-Hop and the world will surely miss his presence. Utmost condolences to his family and crew.” ~4th Disciple

The unexpected passing of the Boot Camp Click artist halted production of a project that was sure to be classic hip hop collaboration. The previously recorded songs will be placed on a compilation album. The project will feature an array of artists and will be released in the fall of 2015.

Press Release

all hands on deck

Hiya folks! Hang on to your hats as we’ve had a busy couple of months since

our last month’s dive into how to not get shafted by a record label.

So here’s a fly by tour of some of the highlights of the last four weeks at

Crown Works Studio in Wolverhampton, UK including recording voiceovers

for BBC One – “The One Show”!

We’ve recorded more demos for God Damn, and God damn they sound

great! After recording a few tracks using guitar amp plugins (!) we returned

to amplifier and microphone setups. I’m all for using amp simulators

sparsely in a mix but when you’re using all plugins for your guitar tracks it

can get very messy very quickly.

Working with Thomas from God Damn he uses an intricately balanced pedal

board for his earthquake inducing guitar rig and even using plugins on each

channel and trying to treat them as we would the amps, there is just no

substitute for a great amp, guitar and player in front of a carefully selected

lineup of microphones. I promise you this.

Tom’s amps in particular are all high-powered valve Orange heads span-

ning nearly 40 year vintage! It’s the headroom that this allows that really

brings his sound to life, and life, and life!! The two guitar amps and one

bass-head employed in the rig respond to absolutely every nuance of play-

ing, proximity to the amp and l sh*t you not, it’s something to experience

in a relatively small space! They’re touring the UK NOW with Max Raptor

and Radkey so if you like your music filthy and hard get along to one of

the shows!

We also had The Stirs back in the studio mid-September for the second

installment of their upcoming EP, another foot tapping blast from the

lads that won’t disappoint and we’re looking forward to the next one this

weekend!

These guys subtle blend of Britpop, blues and rock delivers attitude in

spades but these guys are lovers not fighters and their music captures all

that’s great about the genres they blend. Well worth keeping an ear out for.

Native State returned to us too for the second installment of their tight,

melodic punchy rock and upped the gain a little. Mr Nice is probably an

equal favorite of the tracks we’ve recorded with these guys. Somehow I

seem to connect it with Howard Marks the renowned cannabis trafficker,

author and touring talker but it’s not necessarily the truth. As their other

tracks do, Seb, singer and lyricist for the band tells clearly thought out sto-

ries in his songs, firmly backed up with well written instrument parts and

some great drumming, these guys are definitely worth noting for future

reference. I think their tracks have a broad appeal and face themes that

everyone can understand. Check ‘em.

I’ve got to level with you now, I was absolutely humbled when the British

Broadcasting Corporation contacted us to record a voiceover for their long

running series ‘The One Show’ with journalist and presenter Nick Wallis.

In a decade of recording bands I honestly never thought I’d get to be part of

a prime-time evening TV show on our nation’s favorite channel!

The session was not much more than an hour long but one of the most

intense things I’ve done so far in a studio. With Nick at a desk, in the live

room, I had a telephone next to me on speakerphone in the control room

so everyone could hear everyone else. The One Show’s directors were on

the line while we tracked the separate segment voiceovers and OK’d each

take as we recorded. It was a fascinating insight into how the whole process

of making the programme and the infrastructure of the BBC. I’ve been a

massive fan of BBC music and science and nature documentaries for years

and since being involved in their schedule I’ve got a whole new level of

respect for the company. We started recording at 2:45 pm, emailed the wav

files directly to the BBC and waited for an OK before we let Nick continue

on his busy day. The first of two pieces using our audio aired on Monday

night (28 Sept) and I believe the second was on last night (Thursday 1st

October), these will be available on BBC iPlayer for a couple of days still

I’m sure. I bet you can’t tell which it is but it sounded great to me. Proud of

our studio, and myself.

Something else I’ve been thinking about lately is starting a record label

or working with labels... There’s a ton of information to get through and

single-handedly running a studio is perhaps not conducive to finding time

for these activities but never the less, it’s something I’m keen to develop. If

for no other reason than my own curiosity but now I’m in the situation I’m

in as a Producer, songwriter, mixer, session musician arranger and having a

great studio at my disposal. I think I can use my skills to help more people,

and maybe find a ‘hit’ of my own! I know I work with plenty of talented art-

ists and bands, surely it’s only a matter of time? Time, and utter devotion

to the cause, of course!

If you’d like to get in touch (and please do) and find out more about topics

covered in these articles, or how I might be able to help you or your band in

the studio just drop me a line at [email protected] and I’ll do

my very best to help you find the answers. Just don’t ask about the meaning

of life! All the very best and Happy Tracking!

From the sunny shores of a Floridian sky to the

ears and eyes of a worldwide audience BWD has

grown from an acorn of an idea into an oak tree

of industry-might, its roots deep within the strata

of social sites and online promotions, its branch-

es far-reaching and bearing fruitfulness aplenty.

Starting out developing websites Ms. Keach aka Ms. V proved her-

self more guru than mere graphic designer, her final works forging

a reputation of being the go-to girl for all things attention grab-

bing and intuitive.

Quickly she began laying the foundations for what would become

her own empire, reputation growing with each engagement and

the horizon of possibilities expanding even further than first

dreamed.

Whilst making some of the connections that would see BWD

become a leader in its field murmurings and mutterings regarding

the state of the music business came filtering through the wire.

Listening to the sounds of discontent chattering in the background

it became clear that, for all the talented individuals with credible

worth vying for the attentions of a label or promoter, those in the

Industry were more concerned with how profitable a bottom-line

they could wring from their talents than the merits and music of

the people themselves.

An avid appreciator of new and classic music Veralyn saw a gap

in the market for someone with the knowledge and nous, con-

nections and cunning, and - of course - the dedication to provide

a credible alternative to those as-yet unsigned greats of music, a

platform for them to launch themselves into the airwaves and soar

into the charts.

With each passing year BWD has grown in both experience and

influence, the listening world turning up the dial to be the first to

hear the latest unsigned extravagances of talent bursting from the

underground and across a global stage.

Not only affording the world of music a genuine outlet to purvey

it’s unbridled talents BWD Radio also promotes and inspires the

musicians it unveils, the multi-faceted nature of BWD incorporat-

ing all avenues of generating awareness and recognition to the

talents it reveals, encouraging the growth of their fan-base and

helping propel them onto the iPods and bedroom walls of a global

audience.

With the recent successful launch of the BWD Radio app the audi-

ence all artists are looking to find are as close as they have ever

been, right on the other side of millions of touch-screens and

monitors, smart-phones and tablets all bearing the app’s visage

across their surface.

Now a major player in the world of radio and media, the leader in

the field of generating buzz around the artists it plays on its non-

stop, commercial free station, and proudly wearing the banner of

being The Home Of The Indie Artists BWD founder Ms. V has proven

you don’t need a thousand lawyers fighting over who gets the

best parking spot in front of offices to forge a dominant empire

of multi-faceted out-lets; as the late great British entertainer Roy

Castle once said ‘Dedication’s all you need’.

ontemporary R&B singer-songwriter, Jasmine

Jordan, releases her newest single, “Smile.” The

track is the stand-alone, follow-up single to her

debut EP, Time Travel. “With incredible range,

storytelling, and passion, Jordan captivates audi-

ences with relatable narratives that convey love’s

enthralling and heartbreaking dynamics.” (You Know I Got Soul)

Having only begun her solo career in the summer of 2014, Jasmine

Jordan has already been named “An Artist To Watch” by urban taste-

makers, including DJ Booth, Daytrotter and Singersroom. Her debut

album, Time Travel, “brings back the style of 90’s R&B/Pop, while

still coming across like a breath of fresh air.” (Planet Stereo Live)

Released in March 2015, the video for the title-track features artist,

Blanchard De Wave, and has garnered attention on YouTube.

Jordan embarked on a U.S. tour in support of Time Travel this past

spring, selling out venues in Los Angeles and Seattle. Furthermore,

in celebration of Beck’s 2015 “Album of the Year” Grammy win for

Morning Phase, Jordan was hand-selected by Capitol Records to

cover Beck’s single, “Turn Away.”

Jasmine just wrapped up four West Coast dates in support of her

latest single “Smile”, which included performances in San Francisco,

Portland, Seattle and Los Angeles. The single has gained over

55,000 views on Youtube and is continuing to turn heads. Jasmine

will be heading back into the studio to work on her next project and

is looking forward to getting back on the road to share her message

of positivity and love.

(Continued)

Share with us your previous album releases, titles and inspirations be-hind them. How do they stack up against your latest release? What separates your latest…in-between… and the oldest of music releases from one another? Inspirations, Sounds, Movements, Life Events, etc.? My previous releases are bridging the Gap with Chubb Rock, Vintage Expe-

rience, King Noah and The Blue Collar Recital. I feel like with each album

I became a better songwriter and continued to talk about relatable topics

close to the hearts of the working class. My songs are profanity free, catchy

and embody who I am as a person.

How were you originally influenced by hip hop and what moved you to pursue in it? What’s crazy about my experience into Hip Hop is though it’s an Urban

genre of music I was introduced to it by a Caucasian while living in Ger-

many the second time. Shout to Kevin Wilson for letting me borrow 3 tapes

weekly from his shoebox collection. I have to say without that introduction

I may have never got into Hip Hop or wrote music. The second memory

that dictated my love of Hip Hop was my parents buying me Run DMC’s

“Tougher then Leather” and The Fat Boys are Back tapes. One, I was sur-

prised my parents knew who they were and it showed me they were paying

attention to my increasing love for Hip Hop.

What do you feel has been some of your greatest accomplishments? Roll up your sleeves! We know you’ve many!! Highlights… Some of my accomplishments that stand out to me are winning the ASCA-

PLUS Award 3 years in a row, earning Burger Kings Next 2 Blow in HipHop

Weekly Magazine, touring to Southwest Asia and Africa, licensing music

to ESPN, NFL Network, Fox, CBS, Nintendo Wii, 2 movies and more. Other

accomplishments include gaining clothing sponsorships with Route One

Apparel and Rude Boy Clothing.

The most popular question asked over the years to so many artists! As a Hip Hop Artist and Songwriter, how do you feel about today's hip hop scene? Be candid! Tell us how you really feel. The lyricist’s version! Today’s Hip Hop isn’t all bad, but none of the music will leave a legacy.

There may be a handful of new generation artists that will be remembered

20 years from now, while the rest only last 2 to 3 years in the game. In my

opinion it’s because the quality of Hip Hop and Urban music in general has

reached an all-time low. Genres like Pop, Country and even R&B continue

to flourish due to great songwriting and memorable artists. Some of the

Hip Hop singles on the radio today would barely make a mixtape 10 years

ago; shows a big change in how our society perceives this music as well.

What is NU Revolution? Where and when was it derived? Your inspira-tion, motivation behind the movement. I chose the name NU Revolution because I wanted to pave my own lane in

Music. I’m not interested in sounding like anybody else. A trend is a trend

for a reason and they change weekly, monthly and yearly so I choose to

start my revolution of music and build genuine fans.

Do you have a motto or mission? If so, do share!!! My mission is to entertain and educate through a Message of Purpose,

and always by example relate that message through clean, quality, and

marketable Music for the Masses.

The Ladies WILL want to know… So are you single? I am very single so feel free to hit me up!

Where can we go to get your awesome music? The best “google Key-word” search? You can grab my music at Itunes.com, Amazon.com, BestBuy.com, Target.

com and many more. The best keyword search for me is “Wordsmith Bal-

timore Rapper”

A behind the scenes look into “Wordsmith with his LIVE Band!” Please introduce your band to us and the role(s) they play, if you will. Definitely, I got tired of doing the typical format of rocking with a DJ and

wanted to expand my LIVE Show to new heights, so this is the team to

make that happen!

My LIVE Band consists of Vernon Roberts (Music Director/Keyboard), Chris-

tine Curtis (Vocalist), James Garner (Electric Guitar), Kareem Thompson

(Drummer), Pep Rose (Bass Guitar) and Dan Wachter (Road Manager).

And finally, what will your next project be? What can we look forward to in the coming months from Wordsmith? Videos, Performances etc.…Any dates we should be looking to circle on our calendars? I’m not sure what my next project will be, but I can say it will be my most

commercial one to date!
