Happy Birthday to my first love Hip-Hop! @hiphop50 I was blessed or shall I say chosen to be the one of the first to display your glory Off-Broadway in a play filled with Hip-Hop music that I wrote at 13 years of age entitled Hey, Little Walter, which starred Harold Perrineau, Seth Gilliam, Merlin Santana, Sean Nelson, Natalia Harris and Cynthia Martel. Hey, Little Walter was first performed at Playwright Horizons in 1990 and then went on to be published in numerous publications and later performed all over the world. Not long after that production did I team up with @renolysantiago to write the book to the musical Bring In the Morning with starred Lauryn Hill and was the Apollo Theater’s first theatrical musical performance. Most of the songs performed in the show were hip-hop.
From Rapper’s Delight onwards… Hip-Hop you continue to inspire and inform me as a writer. You gave my generation a voice that reverberated to every corner of the world. I can’t wait until you completely take over Broadway! Let’s go! Happy 50th Birthday Hip-Hop! #TopBillin#happybirthdayhiphop#hiphop50#playwright#playwrightshorizons#princetonuniversity#nyu#keepitreal#musical#offbroadway#theapollo#broadway#50yearsofhiphop#youngplaywrightsfestival
I serve a Risen Savior… not a colorful egg 🐣 or a 🐰 - nor a body crucified on a cross… HAPPY RESURRECTION SUNDAY! Let us worship in Spirit and in TRUTH. Fifty days from now will commemorate the releasing of the Holy Spirit! That also should be a massive celebration and holiday! Blessings and honor to the Holy Trinity. This was and is all about US having life and living life more abundantly… as we share a gospel of love, life, and deliverance from evil. It’s #ResurrectionSunday2024 Let us be glad and rejoice - the enemies of our soul have been defeated… and the 🔑 KEYS of the kingdom are NOW in our possession… Walk in this POWER - and stop running after eggs… This is what you need to seek after in meditation today - THE SAME POWER that raised CHRIST from the dead is in YOU! Selah.
