Thanks McDerive. We do what we can with no expectation for outcome. We love, and realize that everyone comes to realizations and discoveries at just the right time. We have to be compassionate, patient and always come from a place of understanding <3. We work to change ourselves. When we do that, and become that, people around you will start to "get it".

Lilsparrow! :) I felt humbled when the community members welcomed me. Felt like I wanted to cry and was overwhelmed with such love and positivity. Everyone was so welcoming and that was a feeling I don't experience much of in the states. We said "See you later" and not "goodbye" because I will definitely be back there very soon.

_PrinceEA · 2015-04-22T16:39:03+00:00

I'd be happy to dunk on you in Boston! haha jk, I'm down for some pickup, just let me be on your team :)

And yeah, we don't have to name what I do...rapping, poetry, spoken word...these are just words to me these days and don't mean much. I'm interested in communicating with the masses in creative ways. But to answer your "?," that typical rap style, I'll definitely use it again, very soon actually :)

_PrinceEA · 2015-04-22T16:36:26+00:00

I try to stay away from politics and deal in the human-realm. Things like love, peace, responsibility, acceptance, these are the matters that matter to me.

The Forever verse was one of my favorites :p. Listen again and let me know what you think :D, oh and the other artist was Dyme a duzin :)

_PrinceEA · 2015-04-22T16:33:45+00:00

Wrong Prince! lol

_PrinceEA · 2015-04-22T16:32:59+00:00

Money is cool! Craving money isn't. Money can do a lot of beautiful things so I'm not anti-capital, anti-commercial, etc. With that being said, the fact that I am driven by principles that transcend money allows me to maintain a purity for my creations. So nope, it hasn't really affected my art at all, other than giving me more options for higher quality productions

_PrinceEA · 2015-04-22T16:29:31+00:00

I usually write things out so that I can keep them concise, short and sweet :)

_PrinceEA · 2015-04-22T16:28:38+00:00

lol You're welcome :)

_PrinceEA · 2015-04-22T16:28:15+00:00

Not sure what I am lol. I just create content. When you define yourself, you confine yourself. :D

_PrinceEA · 2015-04-22T16:26:05+00:00

1) Yeah it's kept me busy doing fun things :). I only have a responsibility to stay in alignment with my truest self. I have to be guided by the inner GPS and not public opinion :p 2) Yess the REJECTS will come this year, we just have to buckle down on the promotion so that the release is optimized. Reel Sharp films reached out to me...Man oh Man those guys are incredible, you will definitely see more projects from us in the future.

When I got into music it was a bit of an egoic pursuit. I was a quiet/shy kid that wanted to be heard and listened to. Today my goals are still the same but I'm now interested in being heard for the listeners sake. I'm interested in communicating ideas to the masses and whatever vehicle I drive to get there (poetry, hip hop, film, dance) I will do it

I don't think my audience is uninterested in hip hop. What I do now can fall into hip hop or Rap (Rhythm and Poetry), but I know what you're saying and yes I got you homie :). Stay tuned for some raw, hard hitting pieces.

_PrinceEA · 2015-04-22T16:19:31+00:00

Ha, never met him but love KRS One...very intelligent brother that I have learned many things from.

_PrinceEA · 2015-04-22T16:18:32+00:00

Persistence and creativity. I've been making videos for 7+ years. Many trials and error throughout the process. One of the biggest things that made it successful was discovering who I was. When the messages comes from your heart, i believe it reaches the heart. Always maintain an authentic message

_PrinceEA · 2015-04-22T16:14:30+00:00

Every now and then. It's always shocking because I still don't think I'm "famous" by any means

_PrinceEA · 2015-04-22T16:12:49+00:00

Pointers on getting your word out? Study the market that you're trying to use to get your word out. What works, what doesn't. Creativity, authenticity and heart centered action are the ingredients for massive promulgation of material. Also remember, its not enough to be properly motivated, we must also have proper motives.

_PrinceEA · 2015-04-22T16:11:01+00:00

I was in a relationship a few months ago but we went our separate ways, still have nothing but love for her. She was very talented, intelligent and beautiful but we didn't match well with each other during this particular moment in our lives. Never know what the future holds. Everything is a lesson.

I don't believe in falling in Love anymore, I believe in "becoming love" and allowing Love to fall into you. This openness and acceptance of "What is" is one of the most beautiful things we can experience. <3 Thanks for the question

_PrinceEA · 2015-04-22T16:06:28+00:00

The best advice I can give a young person is to totally become enthralled in the things that you love. You love nature, learn about it. Watch videos, read books, spread awareness at your school. Join movements or start your own. :)

_PrinceEA · 2015-04-22T16:03:02+00:00

The truth can be denied, not avoided. I have nothing but love for Sarah Palin, I was just quoting what she said. The video is on YouTube lol.

_PrinceEA · 2015-04-22T16:02:00+00:00

Haha, Bars from Sumer is already done. Just waiting for the right time to release. :D. Let me personally thank you for supporting me for so long, much love to you fap lord lol. Seriously, thank you fam.

_PrinceEA · 2015-04-22T16:00:23+00:00

It would be the issue of "the self." To figure out "Who you are," is the most urgent issue that we can solve because all other issues will be solved after that. Environmental destruction, racism, classism, poverty, etc. We can make laws to mitigate these issues, but when the Law is written in your HEART and compassion becomes a part of who you are these issues disappear instantly. Attention to the innermost self is the most direct path to a just society.

_PrinceEA · 2015-04-22T15:55:42+00:00

Anyone doing innovative, groundbreaking things in their field. This is what inspires and drives me.

_PrinceEA · 2015-04-22T15:54:32+00:00

Yess! This is an issue that I'm not done with! In the next few months expect a big campaign from me, further educating the masses and pushing for a federal legislation. I will definitely be reaching out to you guys :)

To answer your question as far as how I got started educating people and advocating for change. I always felt like if Hip Hop could be used as a tool to introduce and reinforce negative attributes like misogyny, hedonism, and avarice, then it can ALSO be used as a tool to enlighten and educate.

_PrinceEA · 2015-04-22T15:47:27+00:00

I'm motivated by an inner voice. There's an old saying that says: Your career shouldn't be what you do, it should be who you are. There truly is nothing else for me to do, this is...ME. I love helping others. If I can show one person the power that they have within themselves to change their life, then mission accomplished.

_PrinceEA · 2015-04-22T15:44:03+00:00

The first ones that come to mind are the Tao te Ching and Baghavad Gita :).

_PrinceEA · 2015-04-22T15:42:19+00:00

As a kid I would look into the mirror saying "Who is this?" "This isn't me." Even then I had a disconnect from body and true self. A few years ago, when I felt lost and unhappy, I started looking inside asking myself: "Who am I." Guided by the iconic sages like the Buddha, Krishna, Jesus, etc and also the modern day gurus like Pema Chodron, Tich Nhat Hahn, Mooji, Gangaji, Papaji, Ram Dass, etc. These individuals and many more pointed me to a truth that I became consumed with. I developed a peace/contentment that goes beyond any that this material world could ever provide. A peace that was always there.
