Featured Author & Poet:


Charlie V
taken from the poem
What it took         



It took a nation of millions to hold us back
took a million plus lives for me to hold my inner fears back
side-tracked hi-jacked from home with no contract no way to get back
it took a revolutionary change across a slow moving time line
but somehow we were jammed between forward and rewind
Damn! were sittin ducks -- were stuck
physically psychologically f#*ked!

it took inventions for the world to envision on a television
a youngsters blood spewing
as my parents were viewing
vintage film footage of Ebony ladies & Black guys
earning black eyes
under so called friendly skies
fighting the splashes of hi-pressure as water flies
head trauma swelling that brothas skull twice the size
of the white hood that the devil wore as a disguise
to minimize the chances of keepin his eyes on the prize...                           
 

Truly one of the most phenomenal artists to                                                   
  come out of the culture of New Orleans,

Charlie V  is both poet and entertainer,  a freedom                                        
writer, visual artists and emcee extrodinaire.  His gifts                                 
are boundless and those of us who have had the                                          
pleasure to witness his talent will never be the same                                   
remind us all why we write...

Music is the universal
language of the soul.  
Reaching every facet of our
existence.   Touching every
person of every culture on the
globe to the tune of $40
billion annually.  We have to
use this influence to create a
positive effect on our culture.  
The world is always listening
ask yourself do you really have
something to say?

Saddi Khali...
www.myspace.com/saddikhali





In a male dominated field such as hip hop its not easy for
women to get respect for their talent, but DJ Bombshell
Boogie uses her unique style and sassy storytelling to move
the crowds, mixing moments into memories while gracing
stages and corners all across the crescent city.  From
Frenchmen to First Fridays her infectious grooves balance
between old school hip-hop and classic R&B to rare soulful
grooves and bounce anthems.  Her musical menu will satisfy
any hungry soul transcending our music and culture one cut
at a time.  "...my DJ cuts rocking stiletto pumps and the
crowd goes nuts..."  Not just the bomb, she's
Bombshell Boogie.
