Brothas let me just say that Dream’s voice is oh so sexy. She has one of those cool ass, late night, sultry DJ voices flowing to the chill sounds of a summer wave crashing whisper in a Coltrane not yet frantic breeze.

But this is not about that…

Dream is way more than an appetizing and objectifying sound bite. She’s a woman’s woman with a conscience of empowerment who is committed to the cause of eliminating any and every social injustice that has continued to mire those unfortunate in a quagmire of astounding misery. Dream is matter of fact knowledge and peace disposition who sings to the beat of a soul enriched by those who fell down inside the gun smoke.

This sentiment has translated to a rap game blessed to have her pen as its camera. Access is yes, a good thing. Access gets the real flick, not the popular one. You know, the one that everyone gets six months too late thus prohibiting the advancement of thought.

No sir.

Dream is the advance copy who understands the culture she nods her head to. Eyes closed but open enough just to get the peek we seek without burning the relationship bridges that mean more to her personally than journalism.

I know we have some Philly readers so if you aren’t doing anything tonight come see my boy Guy Torry for that get away from the work week laugh I know you all need. Guy will be cracking jokes on everyone and ya momma at Helium Comedy Club, 2031 Sansom Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19103. As you probably are aware of, he’s also an actor and one of the deepest brothas I know but it ain’t about that this weekend. I want to fall out of my chair tonight in front of everybody. I don’t care if I break every bone in my body, I’ll still be laughing in that full body cast thing checking out all the nurses and getting smacked by my sister…who is a nurse as well. Guy is also appearing tomorrow January 31st. Philly, represent!

Just to refresh your mind, check out these clips:

It’s been a busy week. My apologies for posting the bare minimum. I really worked hard on transcribing interviews, providing links within a very compelling interview to be posted later and securing other interviews I hope you will enjoy. Of course this gets me more exposure, but trust that I do it for you as well. Anyone you want to see next on TSF, hit me up here. Now to the game…
