Yolanda's spoken word poetry and Carlos Bess Genious
Beatsride together like surf and
water. JOLE’: Many things in my life have
inspired my writing. My education, real life stories,
my personal experiences with people, and God.
At a very young age in school, I discovered I
very much enjoyed story books. Especially
those that dealt with morals and rhymes. As I grew
I learned about people who’s life made a
difference and learned life is too like a
story book with morals only harder and real.Creating
rhymes was usually one of our
assignment in school. It was probably my favorite
one. I loved the challenge of my making the end of
every sentence rhyme with the last. I
still do. I learned rhyming was a form of poetry and
remember feeling excitement over it. Eventually
I began writing poems about anything
and everything which had an effect on me. One way or
another, directly or indirectly. During those
philosophical moments, music was
playing an hidden role which I soon discovered, made a
great influence in my writing. When I’d stop
writing to pounder the next line, or just to
take a brake, my attention would be drown to the
music. I listened closely to what
was being sung and heard a story. Every song had one.
I now had two passions. I attempted writing
songs, but every time I tried to
sing I was told to be quiet. Although those attempt
failed, they didn’t prevent me from writing
songs.I wrote mostly about the harsh reality
of life. I wrote about what I saw, heard,
read, or experienced. My lyrics describe
oppression in society today, which has always being
around but rarely spoken of; real
stories of hate, drugs, and suicide. Topics people
can unfortunately relate to. Overall, life has
been my inspiration. If I could I’d
like to reach out to those who are struggling in any
of this situation and some how make a
difference in their life. With so
much negativity around them , it would be great to
realize that a negative story or poem may
inspire to make life positive.
C12 Judy went on to be one of the best remix
package KULT Records ever made. When remixing
a song many times you'll have a vocal that may not
work for a certain audence no matter what
kind of production is coupled with" . Say s
KULT Records. With this song, being spoken words,
every remix sounds like it could have been
the orginal. With downtempo, house, progressive
and drum n bass remixes, this package is a solid
schooling. From the original double pack,
Cevin Fisher ,Benji Candelario, Montreal men, Krisco,
Tobi One, Johnatan Moore and Mark Sutteron
and remxies by Orinoko (Timo Maas) Tom Craft
T Mendosa and Odysey, this release is solid gold.
Supported by the likes of Digweed, Tenaglia,
Vasquez, Tong and many more!
