Several moons ago I was able to meet Lisette Titre-Montgomery who has worked in an industry which was parallel to the industry I started my career. This event or choice meeting was at GDC(IGDF) Blacks In Gaming event. At the time I never really considered the magnitude that this meeting held, as the idea of being a black person in the gaming arena and creating a game was lost on me even though I had recently created a game which is a tale for another day. Regardless of the fact being black is one thing but being a woman is another and I believe she had her hurdles to cross as those are hurdles regardless of the skills you have. Those are apparent things that many think are not there but sometimes you have to push past that and endure and make it to the end of the road. It’s a stigma that blacks are not capable of certain levels due to the negative cogitation brought about by the media and our fellow man or woman.

Speaking from the heart I love the delivery from this artist Dee-1, he did not beg the artist to simply give there money to the people but to help educate the masses coming up and that right there is a well directed message. Black people as a whole are simply stifling themselves by not waking up that the real game changes are themselves and no other. Here we have a talented artist sprouting messages like when Kanye-spoke about Diamonds are for-ever, Luda, Dmx, Outcast,dr dre and snoop spoke about their real life on the street and the countless other well spoken artist who seemingly became bigger assholes as the fame compacted on their shoulders and lost their way. Just look at this list of songs from Kanye an artist I felt had some seriously wonderful tracks but seems to be slipping – Jesus Walks- Runaway- Black Skinhead- Stronger – New Slaves- Diamonds From Sierra Leone- All Falls Down- Can’t Tell Me Nothing- Power- Gold Digger-Monster-Hell of a life-Devil in A New Dress-Gorgeous-Power-So Appalled. There are many like him out there that have great words but the media won’t play them but like Dee-1 states they can’t stop me I can drop this whenever and however I want because I am not signed. Either way back on subject this article is about this young artist Dee-1, peep his music and hear him out.

Shit just real, I seriously love it when artist come with a passionate tale and lyrics and most times I hope that they keep to their desire and drive.
This young artist that I recently came across thanks to bookfacing-yes I sad bookfacing and not facebook, grace my ears and eyes. He is yet again another artist I may enjoy. I am hoping he never looses that vigor. Many greats had that vigor and simply fell to the power and greed of money something we sometimes all do.

Most importantly do not forget to check out his website we have to help support each other http://dee1music.com/
