Album Notes

Let me go on record stating that I bear witness that there is no god or deity worthy of worship except Allah. And I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger, servant, slave and the seal of the prophets of Allah. As you sit in the comfort of your home reading and listening to this, I sit in a maximum security state prison where I've been since 1996. As a Muslim, while I wish that I could say that my incarceration is a miscarriage of justice, I can't, because as a Muslim I must stand firm on a word of justice--even against myself. At the time of my arrest I was so far off the path that Shaytan did not even need to whisper, I was my own soul's greatest enemy. Justice was not miscarried with regards to my conviction, however, it was definitely a justice with birth defects with regards to how my conviction was obtained, and the length of the sentence. In a way, the very fact that I am here is another sign and proof of Allah's mercy. Alhumdulillah, I can say now that not only am I a Muslim with a firm handhold on the rope of Islam that Allah has extended to us, but too I am the resident Imam for the community in this prison, Allahu Akbar! My journey has taken me from inmate to Imam. What you hear on this site is all deen related hip hop for daw'ah, and where it's not deen related, it deals with issues of social consciousness. Finally, note that if you purchase all or none of this project, I say a du'aa for you, O ummah of Muhammad (saw), I humbly ask you to say one for me.
