#TURNUP the GIFT!

Thank you to all the Bornday Blessings, but while we have learned to look for gifts and praise on this day, through the teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, I have learned to use this day to thank and honor Almighty God for this blessing of life, my mother for her sacrifice to get me here, and my father for his role in bringing me to life. So instead of focusing on the gifts I receive, I CHOOSE to FOCUS on what I can do to honor them with my life by using my talents and gifts to make the world a better place. With that being said, I present the world with a gift- a snippet of the theme song of Growth, Progress, and Productivity that inspired #TURNUP The Movement-
A movement dedicated to inspiring progress in positive endeavors. It could be your professional endeavors, education, world peace, health, fitness, etc. It's a mindset and a lifestyle. Go Further, Go Harder, Go Higher. #TURNUP!

Now I do still accept gifts so if you feel the message and would like to support the movement, feel free to donate for a download here!: http://allahsapprentice.bandcamp.com/track/turnup-snippet.

THANKS IN ADVANCE. KEEP IT POSITIVE. PEACE

Allah's Apprentice x Middle Georgia State College (What That Be Like LIVE!)

Middle Georgia State College on Allah's Apprentice as an artist and musician:

“....His words are thought provoking and he truly takes his audience on a journey through a modern day appreciation for poets, and other artist from the 60’s to the present. Allah’s Apprentice is a poet in motion as he creatively articulates his personal testimonies while he encourages his audience of young people to “turn-up” the passions in their lives, whether it be through musicianship, artistry and or education. He is a must see artist!!!!!”
-Crystal Allen-Joyner, MGSC Multicultural Affairs Coordinator-
