Have problems? Of course, you do. You're an individual living in a society that values appearance over substance. Difference and uniqueness are rejected. Concern for your body outweighs the beauty of your soul. Money is the foundation, without which life can collapse suddenly.
This is nothing new. 30 years ago Bob Marley sang of “Songs of freedom.” Throughout history, there has clearly been a conflict between the outer facade and the inner reality, between the physical and the spiritual, between what we touch and what we can only sense. Darkness and light, left and right, yin and yang, male and female – the list is endless, isn't it?
“Someday Peace Love & Freedom” is the eternal flame of hope, a mantra for change. Countries go to war, financial markets go up and down, jobs come and go. These things you cannot control, or can you? How do you react to the chaos of the universe, whether it takes the form of a cheating spouse or an unbearable supervisor? I'm not going to say his CD has the answers, but it may be a helping hand when you need one.
To date, “Someday Peace Love & Freedom” is my most critically acclaimed album. Logo Magazine dubbed it “The Voice of Social Conscience”. Out Music nominated this CD for 2004 Outstanding Male Album of the Year, winning the Fresh Fruit Festival Award for Best Male Performance. “Free” and “I Miss You” received honorable mention at the 14th Annual Billboard Song Contest and helped claim the #1 position on NY Indie Myspace Fusion, Healing, and Neo-Soul Music Charts. I had the honor of sharing the stage with Motown Recording Artist Donnie, Def Jam Poet Staceyann Chin and recording an unplugged live DVD with Emmy-Nominated director Bill Cote.
But what is most important is my ability to help others. I made a commitment to give back after realizing how much I had been given. I graduated from NYU with a BA in Economics, I worked very hard and became an honors student. It is now my responsibility to do what I can to raise awareness and advance goodness. Over the years I've supported Lifebeat (HIV/AIDS), Drug Rehabilitation Programs, Domestic Violence Awareness, National Disability Awareness, September 11th Concerts, THAW (Theaters Against War), Hiroshima-Nagasaki Commemoration, Gay Pride and Earth Day Celebrations.
When you play track #5, a slow reggae groove begins that slowly morphs into “The Beggar’s Cup.” This song tells the story of a beggar at a street corner - but he doesn’t want money, he “wants for something that will last. So put a little love in my cup now” he pleads.
“Someday Peace Love & Freedom” is only calling individuals who understand this message, individuals who believe in what this music stands for. Individuals like yourself who are committed to making this world a better place. You're in control, everything you do helps to make a difference - just like pebbles create ripples on a lake. So go ahead and set your own price and take this message home. Now watch the changes that occur in your life.
Someday we'll get together
Someday we'll be alright
Someday we'll stop this hatred... That's keeping us apart...
Someday be today

Less is More
author: Author-Poet Aberjhani
If social consciousness took a somewhat noticeable back seat to romantic inclinations in his beautiful debut collection, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU, it moves into the forefront on "Someday Peace Love & Freedom." As a producer and arranger, and even often as a lyricist, Nhojj hails from the school of "less is more." He puts his point to the test and proves it over and over again, starting with the Caribbean-shaded lament, "Hold On." Artists generally take the approach of listing causes when commenting on the modern world's numerous social and political ills. Nhojj, however, is more likely to illustrate the impact upon individuals, observing, for example, in the opening track: "I laid in my bed last night/ Staring up to the sky/ The walls seemed to be closing in around me/ Tears welled up in the corner of my eyes." And yet, in the very next song, "Free," he notes that liberation is less a matter of social conditions or perfect relationships than it is one of individual choice: "Undo the knot that keeps you caught/ Wrought in despair change is here/ So calm your fears."

Your Music moves me

I received the CD's on Monday afternoon and have been playing them ever since. My brother I wish I could find the words to describe the way your music makes me feel. I cant stop dancing. There are some songs off of your CD that touch me to my soul. I wish I was articulate enough to paint a picture of how your music moves me.
