happy father day 2 the real mutha fukin fathers



let me get right 2 the point,,, being a father has never been made easy for me,,,when i decided to bounce out of that crazy situation,,,my life was made a living hell,,,

court dates,,,,threatening phone calls,, & orders of protection,,,lawd know it wasn’t easy,,,, but I got thru it,,,,& im a stronger man 4 it

ladies let me explain something 2 u,,,,,,,if u & the father of ur children decide to go ur own separate ways,,,,,,,do not think 4 one second that it is hurting him,,,,,,,it’s hurting the children

please allow ur sons/daughters 2 have a relationship w/their fathers,,,,,if the $$$ aint right i still go thru drama
imagine what it is like not 2 see ur children 4 a month in a half,,,,,well i guess its true what they say,,,,$$$ talks & bullshit walks,,,,,,Happy father’s day 2 my ghetto mutha fukers

& 2 the ladies that keep their children from their fathers,,,,,BEWARE…because those children will not be children always,,,,they will grow up resenting u for the time that they lost

PIMP OUT

EMANCIPATION.....

Well.  A lot is going on in the world of Afro Boy…. So I managed to get Alexie F to slow down for a few minutes & give a little info as to what to expect from him soon.






Diz-E Image: When things get hectic in your day to day life, do you find that it pushes you even harder to get professional stuff handled even more….or is it all the same to you.


Alexie F:    that’s an excellent question…..yes,,, it definitely does,,,,it awakens me,,,it stirs my creative juices  that were kind of dormant 4 whatever reason,,,sleep isn’t my friend during that time,,,my mind is constantly going on the time.

Diz-E Image:  Do you find that some fans get a little too comfortable?  Like they know you, but they really don’t?  Or get to personal.

Alexie F:  ehh,,, no.  but  understand, a large percentage of my fan base r women,,,i have had instances where women have cat fight on my page (FACEBOOK) ,,2 the point where it has gotten competitive,,,that’s not cool because now i feel like some fans have lost interests be cuz they notice the competitive edge that has been created. ….some have mistaken my kindness 4 personal,,,& when they see that i am neutral,,,,hmm they have gotten kinda retarded ,,,haha  so maybe yes they do get 2 comfortable,,, when i was w/zro the fan base knew me more on audio,,,now since i have been doin my own thing,,,there is a different interaction ,,, maybe be cuz of the sexual content ,,,, ….some may not like,,,but  it works,,,,cant pleez everybody

Diz-E Image: You do have a male fan base as well…..do you find that you have alienated that group and that you cater more to the female fan base?

Alexie F: (large sigh) u know,,,i never thought about that,,,but that was never my intention 2 alienate the fellas,,,i guess it has been that my female fans r a lil more vocal,,,the fellas just don’t get vocal like that on the regular

Diz-E Image: What is your next goal?

Alexie F: my main thing when the hip hop documentary (Lost Tapes) is out,,,it 2 do major promotion 4 that,,,canadian film festival,,, poconos  film festival,,,all that,,,,,also got the lounge thing happening in the  bronx soon,,, the spot is basically 2 service the artists i luv & respect.




Diz-E Image:  And the books?

Alexie F : sex rules book will be out by xmas,,,(lingerie is already out),,,the rest of the books will cum out @ some point,,,they r in work tho,,gotta feel em out,,,but after sex rules,,,,,im definitely writing a book about baby momma drama,,,2 help young cats who got those issues,,,dedicated 2 those dudes who don’t get there respect,,,,those fellas who hold it down,,,fathers day is often they day of the condemned,,,these cats need to be respects,,,lets realize that,,,it aint about whether we got the pussy,,,its about the seeds yo!

Diz-E Image: What is your present art connection?

Alexie F: 4 me right now it is all about art appreciation,,,im constantly learning,,,looking @ colors, shapes,,,,all that,,,constantly promoting a.t.b,,,,many people tell me  i wear many hats,,,,,i have several interview coming out with artists i respect,,,i feel artists have a lot 2 say w/their creations of beauty,,,u r responsible 4 getting that,out,,,im responsible 4 getting that out,,,that’s our job trina.

Diz-E Image: I hear ya on that…..What is going on in the poetry world?

Alexie F:  wow,,,,well  i was suppose 2 host an event @ the end of the month but it was postpone due 2 conflicts w/schedules for he performers,,,,called “tavern of creativity” ,,,the portion i was hosting called calle luna.

Diz-E Image:  Any final words?

Alexie F: spiritually,,,im more in tune,,,i need that balance & peace when things tend 2 get hectic,,,u know,,,,i appreciate the support,,,i luv what  i do,,,,i luv my fans,,,,,,,,,,,,,i luv the growth

What the F#*% happened to Jodeci!!!!!

The title says it all. Those are the words that Alexie F asked me on this early Friday morning. These brothas were the Shhhh back in the late 80's & 90's. As Alexie sings all the joints for this  album over the phone...lol I talk about the business connection w/ the group.  


Back in 1989 I worked a graphic design/image building company called , Rich, Butts &  Gittens:The Solution.  These talent guys created the corporate id, the iconic Uptown cat. 

Uptown MGMT/Uptown Records was under the MCA Record label which Jodeci was under. I remember back then when PUFFY (Sean Combs was called then) use to ride the train in from Howard University to work with them and get these country boys into a more gritty look for their fans. 


Yes.... haha Alexie F is still singing as I write this. 


& though the DeGrate brothers (Swing Brothers) & Hailey brothers went on to create some great    music separately, we cannot  forget jams like  Feenin, Freek' n You & Get on Up . Their songs  were the anthem of our 20's...OMG....great times


As Alexie F goes on to sing something new from another group (something he often  does) ...lolol. Click the titles of the songs and check out the vids.

The love of the feline

Many of you may not know, but Alexie F has a true endearment for cats. All cats big & small.  He came across a picture of one of my husband  Anthony Burks' pieces Panther 2 and asked about the subject.

 In explaining to him that we are hosting an Endangered Species of Florida art exhibition scheduled for March 2012, I explained to him that the Florida Panther is endangered. They only have two current natural predators, alligators and humans through poaching and wildlife control measures. Besides predation, the biggest threat to their survival is human encroachment. Historical persecution reduced this wide-ranging, large carnivore to a small area of south Florida.

Alexie F would like for you to help out by making a donation for Busch Wildlife Sanctuary to help with their development of the new panther habitat they are in desperate need of.
