Im saying that as the very person who was brought in to tell a story about this family from the  past, present, and future …. Some where along the way these people became my family… my heart and there is not a thing I wouldn’t do for anyone  of them. But after a night like tonight.

Music in their heart.

Im sitting here at a great Sunday cookout. With THE FAKULTE and P.O.S. L.I.E. Anything that can bring a family together will be celebrated when it comes to this family.  After being at a number of gatherings and celebrations. I am seeing more of  what is real about this experience. People hear THE FAKULTE name and don’t know what to think and no matter how much it is described and or explained. There is still a look on people‘s faces that’s tells me they are still confused on the whole idea and concept behind THE FAKULTE MUSIC GROUP.

Well we are first and foremost a family of sorts. We grind and hustle together. So when its time to come together for a great gathering we are ready to do what we do. I play two parts when im around these people. One side of things I am a part of THE FAKULTE and nothing can change that. But I still have a job to do that puts me outside of  THE FAKULTE. I have to takea moment out of any and every gathering to see whats going on in front of me…. I am still learning THE FAKULTE as I grow with them.  After watching the old heads rock hard the last few gatherings, I seen where the underground foundation of THE FAKULTE comes from.  There was a group there that has already went through the  struggles and battles of becoming a part of the music of the world without becoming a industry artist. It means something to each of us to stay real about who we are and where we have come from.

There is history behind every song that is played and you can see it in their eyes. The way they respond. It takes them right back to the year and place in there life they was at when the song first played its part. Then brings it right to the present day. They realize each listen of each song how much they have grown and where they have come from while they was growing. The passion is there with every words said and every beat dropped. Some songs running so deep it  will bring a tears to their eyes.
I love to see the responds of music in the hearts of the ones who loves it because the outcome is pure.
You don’t  have to know a person very long but if u put on that right song it will tell you something that never has to be said.

Music it plays from their heart and touch them to the soul. There is nothing fake about it... we are all REAL!

What we needed

(THURSDAY NIGHT)
After sitting at a session where it seem like nothing was going to get done. We ended our night at Powersource Studios breaking down and finally communicating about a lot of things that wasn't understood. We continued our night celebrating with our fam (on a special night dear to THE FAKULTE'S heart).
Tonight Im watching  a family dance, laugh, and shed some tears in memory of a love one.
We are a team and yes we work together as such, but we also banned together to support each other as a family through every event.
I didn't understand until right now why our night went the way it did.
We all had a crazy day and we needed this day and time to rediscover and redefine what we are doing together as a team. We seen what we need as a business.
The one thing every relationship needs COMMUNICATION.
We also seen how important it is we stay tight as a family.
The last couple of days may have brought back some ruff memories or some hard feelings to handle
but it also has proven to be our strength and fire.
When our real life finds its way into our world of music, we find out how much we hold each other down in both world.
There are so many of us and we love each other dearly, but like every family and business we have our moments where we want to slap (joking).
At the end of it all we come back to laugh, joke, or maybe even shed a tear once again.
Blood or not nothing can make us closer.
These are the simple things that cause others to fail in the past, but its these things that will show how superior we are. We will rain Supreme.

Much LOVE TO THE FAKULTE , P.O.S. and the F.O.F. Family!

Set The Record Straight

Some people might ask why am I here. What is the importance of my presences in THE FAKULTE music group really is… Well let me break it down so it can forever be broken. I am the perfect fit to a group of misfits. I am a outside eye to what is seen in the world. I don’t produce, engineer and im not a song writer. Im a journalist and I am a real life journalist. I can only write about what I know to be real and true. I am different by far and every member of this team is different in their own way. THE FAKULTE is not just work but they took me in like family. I play my part, i sit back and watch them work. I take in their environment while they are at work. I like to act as though im not here. Anything I do is not to be seen or heard while in the studio but it is to get a outside view on what it is like for a group to rise to the top together. At the same time coming from different places at all different times. We all represents different sides of life from all over. Im proud to be here to watch the first of all the they have to encounter. Its not many that say they was there and they got to enjoy the ride while a empire is being built. I see greatness in the future and I love it when I see everyone with the same goal in their eyes. I do help in many ways then just writing. But make no mistake that is my first purpose for being here. The person that I am and my love for writing has but me in a place where I can write about others and how they have fought their way to the top. The deeper I go the more I learn, the more I see that what is being done here has never been fully accomplished. With every person we encounter the question remains…. Who and what is THE FAKULTE MUISC GROUP. Well I can reassure you they are not a rap group or just a couple of producers…. WE are 12 strong 4 producers, 5 engineers, 3 songwriters, 3 artist and now 1 journalist  and only getting stronger. We all do some thing different and brings something different to the table. We are at the board table. We will make this work. Im down for the ride…… I always been one that is well know for taking the ride. it’s THE FAKULTE Bitchzzzzzzzz!!!!

Day to Day Hustle



I have been in with THE FAKULTE for almost 3  months. In these three months I can see how all our lives have been put to the test. We are stretched out.; our pride has been put on the line; we are surviving and making it happen; we are drained; we are pushed; we argue; we get frustrated; we get loud; we have egos; we don’t get much sleep; we hustle to eat; but over all we fight for the life we want!!!
The other side of what’s going on is not always pretty. Its real life for us. When I look around and watch my crew do what they do its no wonder nobody can figure out what we are. We all have our own creativity and we come together to blend beautifully.
Well I said it when I first met them, and even now as a part of THE FAKULTE, I still say THE FAKULTE MUSIC GROUP is a MOVEMENT. We have already been told that this has never been done, and we are fully aware that it hasn’t. Which is why we call it greatness. There is no I in the FAKULTE, we are a team and operate as such. We all have our roles to play to make one hell of a team.
For each of us we have already been told no; that we cant do something; never could get what we wanted; had some of our prized possessions taken from us. So at a time where we have been through some of the tests of time and came back strong, we wont hear or believe that we cant do what we want to do and how we want to do it.
We are already at a point where we are hustling and grinding through it all and we will keep it going until everything is done the right way.


This is a power house and we do nothing but get better with what we do. This our blood sweat and tears. Nights of not sleeping and brainstorming. We do this as a family and this family is going to be good. We hold each other down and we keep each other up.

This is our dreams, passions, and our drive. We are all blessed in our talents and blessed to find each other to make this work.
It’s THE FAKULTE”s  Love Locs’ aka Chappell (CHAPP-E) and I live this everyday its not a game or a joke.

Step Up.

Its our first night in the studio working on the up and coming compilation. Before getting to our session we had a meeting with a hook up byway of Ms. JJ. Show. on distribution (nice to meet you Jean Joseph).
We all have been on a high off the past weekend we just had. We came to this session tonight to get started on a epic peace of work, and to have a meeting that would tell us where we can go from here. After our meeting we had a brief cypher circle in which I was listening to the guys discuss what had just occurred.
Most of the info we got we knew. The only difference was the source in which we was getting the info.
It was a good reality check for all of us. We came to a point where we had to make a real decision. Are we going to make THE FAKULTE great or are we going to let how the music industry is be our down fall.
We are doing something that has never been done so from a outside eye we come off as crazy. But we are a group that is made up of talent that has never been seen SO we can do the impossible.
As we came into the studio and we all zoned out into our different roles. I looked up at each face of my team, at the same time listing to just the hook of the first song being recorded for the night. I could see on each of their faces the hunger deep down inside, and I could also see the hustle inside of them fighting its way out.
The only thing that man told us that could help was to keep doing what we do.
I see it as we need to keep doing what we do, but its time to raise the bar. We was operating at a level of 4, but in order to build this family, company, and brand we need to step it up to a level 10. We want it and we are going to fight like a lion in the jungle fighting for his pride to get it.
We each are on the grind playing our part to make what may seem like a dream for most.... our reality.
After getting into the groove and we pulled ourselves back into the vibe we laughed and got back to doing what we love to do.

You cant tell a group like us we cant do it.... cause we are coming to prove you wrong.
THE FAKULTE  is coming to take over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
