I got a couple emails asking what happened to last week's edition of "Wake Up Weekly"...And I'd just like to apologize since I was having issues with the email account Armond sent the new joint to + I honestly just completely forgot to follow-up on the issue. But nevertheless, I got the problem ironed out and got not one, but TWO new joints from dude to make up for the little hiccup. You can check out both, along with an intro for each track from Armond below...
"A lot of people that have been fans of my older music were shocked to say the least when I stopped cursing & promoting negative things in my music. This track is a sit-down with them, like "do you still dig what I'm trying to do? do you even understand?" I pray that they do, but I'm not gonna water myself down to appease others."
Armond - Love Me Or Hate Me (Wake Up Weekly #3)
"This isn't an outcry for the justice system to reevaluate the murder of Sean Bell. Instead, I chose to speak on an internal issue within the African-American community. How many Sean Bell's, Abner Louima's, Jena 6's, & Amadou Diallo's must happen in order for us to open our eyes & change our mindsets??? How long will it be "the white man's fault"?? How long will we just sit here & allow our lives to treated with a lack of value?? No more marching, no more riots, no more roundtable discussions talking about what we should do & are about to do. The time for action is now & there's no reason for us to wait on Barack Obama for "change". Take a listen & I pray it stirs up something within yourselves. Thank you."
