So let me start out by setting the record straight

It’s not DJ Parental, it’s just Parental

And I’m Awon

And if you don’t know I am a purveyor of this jazzy hip hop sound

Jazz rap

Jazz hop

What ever you would like to call it

A sub genre of a genre that is just turning 50 years old

Part of a culture with infinite possibilities

Hip hop is the pinnacle of diversity and inclusion

Thank you for taking me on a journey around the world

I was only a child when you entered my heart

And it is truly surreal how much of a role you have played in my life

My wife, my children, my career

I owe it all to Hip Hop

One of the greatest blessings I’ve ever had

I hope you continue

I hope the generations that precede us

Carry on the tradition of dopeness

Exercising their lyrical abilities

Or as in the case of Parental

Their penchant for production that soothes the soul

Let these songs be a guide

Let Hip Hop be a blessing in your life

As it is in mind

It’s Awon word to the wise one love
