This album is dedicated to Professor Josef Ben Jochannon and Dr. John Henrik Clarke, who have told our story for so long and so well. This project represents the completion of an 18 year odyssey in radio and records in which I have travelled through and in which many have made contributions for which I am eternally grateful.

Thanks to: General Bass, Hank Cameron, Stevland Morris, for his friendship, wonder vision and commitment to use music as a positive tool for humankind and To the Creator, in whose eyes it is clear that we all wear The Crown
To the Youth, knowledge x awareness = motivation
Gary Byrd, Professor of the Rap
