These are the songs of the Priceless Giveaway. The songs are numbered in a very different way from typical albums. The larger number represents the number of the track on this album. The smaller number represents the tracks number in relationship to all the songs I have released. I do this to show that all of my work is connected and ongoing, therefore, my music never ends, there are only pauses in my creative process. I had the pleasure of working with a host of producers, artists, and engineers who all brought different elements to the project. As this blog continues, God-willing you will learn a little bit about each of these great and special people. Until then, this is your introduction to the "Priceless Giveaway". K.I.P. Peace

Keep It Positive

I Love Music Lyrics

I love music, others got crushes

Just in it for the money; that's lame get some crutches

On the mic playin' games, lyric double dutchin'

Mouth movin' on the track, but you ain't sayin' nothin'

Lip synchin' to a popular tune

Party, Party, Party like cake and baloons

Music is life and not just one part

It Comes from every emotion that you feel in your heart

Thought is my art; your ears are my canvas

Feeling is my medium; life is my practice

Sound, rhythm, these are my utensils

Transcribe thoughts on a pad with a pencil

Carried over instruments in different keys

That unlock imagination so your mind is free

This is Universal got the whole world feelin' me

Ya'll make songs, I make history

The Art of a serious Artist: Priceless

There's something's money can't buy...like my newest release"The Priceless Giveaway"!

That's right! For everyone who has been asking, it's finally here! My second music project entitled "The Priceless Giveaway"!For all of those music lovers who miss real music, this is classic material that was made to stand the test of time. Towards the finish of this project I was trying to think of how much I would sell it for and realized that if I charged you what it was worth, all ya'll would be broke! So I decided to give the world a gift by not putting you through that type of stress and decided to give it to ya'll for the world's favorite price of...FREE!

Well almost anyway. I'm giving the first 100 copies away for free and selling the rest for $5

I am also doing this to encourage us to appreciate the talented artists among us that we take for granted. So often we are willing to pay top dollar for art that is deemed great by society's standards, but don't value our own community's talent and spend money to support our own.You have to comprehend that this is like giving you a Mona Lisa, a diamond ring, a Ferrari for FREE!!!!! This Project features

Artists: SOUF,David Fuller,Green Tea,Ill-Lyterati

Producers:SOUF,Sabir Muhammad,Sekou Muhammad,Spencer Greene,Brandon Phillips-Taylor, and more

and cover ART by:Lionel Daniels,Christian Smith,Atu,and another surprise artist"The Priceless Giveaway"featuring the hit singles "Put It On Repeat" and "The AUC Chant"So yeah... April 15th.... We settin' it OFF!!!!BE THERE or BE IN THE WRONG PLACE!K.I.PKeep it Positive. Peace

Allah's Apprentice- ACT

photography provided by Rahbi Wood (Spelman '09)

So I recently released my first album (Praise God!), and although I have had pretty good success with sales and promotions, I am not convinced that people really comprehend what this project is about (even some of the most faithful supporters). I decided to do a series of posts about the songs and skits to explain my project to those who have it and will buy it in the future. Thank you by the way!






ACT: This is the title track of my debut album "ACT" pronounced "A-C-T". This track embodies the spirit that this album was made out of. It is about moving on your dreams. So often we just TALK about things we want to do and goals we have, but to actually realize our goals and make our dreams reality we have to ACT on them. For a long time, I said that I wanted to make music and produce an album. I would talk about the music on the radio and how I felt that artists should make positive music. I would also talk about how it was possible to have music that was enjoyable, crunk, and appealing with a positive message, but it wasn't until I ACTed on producing this album that I could prove that. This track means alot to me, beacuse by doing it, I am held accountable by a charge to myself to ACT on my dreams and erase my habit of procrastination. It forces me to conquer my fears of both success (which brings more responsibility, expectations, and pressure) and failure (which brings pain, doubt, and ridicule). I hope that it will help others to reach their goals as well.



Don't get it twisted though! This song is not about just jumping out and going for your goals blindly! Notice before the beat drops I say, "Make a plan, and make moves." The plan is very important. You must have direction. Once you have direction and a way of getting there, though, don't let excuses and fear hold you back from achieving your goals. A-C-T!



WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW!!!! Listen to ACT and share somethings that you need to or want to A-C-T on or somethings that you have accomplished by using the principle of A-C-T. Right now my dorm room is a little junky so I need to A-C-T oncleaning it up and after that I need to A-C-T on some homework due next week! Enjoy

"Allah's Apprentice" Releases Album

By day, he’s Vinson Muhammad—the guy you see on the yard totting a trumpet as he walks toward Brawley Hall. But by night, he’s Allah’s Apprentice, a rapper spitting lyrics that evoke what Muhammad calls the original essence of Hip-Hop music. On Saturday, February 7, 2009, the Apprentice graced us all with his craft in Morehouse College’s own Jazzman’s Café as he released his new album ACT.

With a title that reflects its message, ACT is Muhammad's call to our youth, encouraging us all to stand up and take active roles in the events that shape our lives.
"Don't talk about it. Be about it," said Muhammad as he passionately explained the idea that drove the project. "Have a plan and move on it.”
Muhammad's ultimate goal is to fill all of our heads with his philosophy that through faith—especially in God and yourself—nothing is intangible and no dream is unreachable. With tracks such as $20 Budget, he evokes the spirit of a destitute student, struggling to make ends meet and vying for the respect of a musical community. The song was inspired by "real life situations," he said.
Leading a life that lends much room for spiritual and artistic growth, Muhammad’s own experiences are the very thing that set him apart as a musician. The colorful lyrics in his songs are rich with elements of his spoken word pieces and free-style poetry, which explains why so many AUC students have frequented Jazzman’s for so many years.
“I know most of the people around because I’ve been doing this since freshman year,” said Muhammad. Ask around, he’s right, and we were all in for a treat.
At about 8:00 p.m., an intimate crowd lounged around at tables, and huddled near a bar, to watch as the dapper Zamir "Green Tea" Walton introduced a very special friend of his. Before Muhammad took to the stage, Walton reacquainted the audience with Allah's Apprentice and what makes him such a visionary.
Hip-Hop inspired photographs by Spelman College student Rahbi Wood were placed about the venue to set a tone that embodied Muhammad's soulful aura. Muhammad himself served as the muse for most of the portraits, set near graffiti tagged walls and other urban niches.
By the end of the night, the audience was more than satisfied and the Morehouse senior was well on his to a successful album launch.
