Notes

This album is dedicated to Professor Josef Ben Jochannon and Dr. John Henrik Clark], 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 which in many have made contributions for which I am eternally grateful.

Thanks to : General Bass, Hank Cameron, Taurus Productions, Black Bull, and Motown Records, making it a labor of love. [Invalid Label], Professor of the Rap
