Back to the Roots
A figure in hip hop returns to his origins.
Kenya Kente said it himself: “If you ever fall from grace you’ll be bruised beyond all recognition.” His descent in business relations and personal relationships meant that he would be forever scarred.
So he came back to Delaware with about a half a million dollars where he was one a centibillionaire. He still had a fortune but he had to sell off so many possessions to just get out of debt.
He looked his father, Baraka Kente, in the face. They embraced.
“Welcome home, son. Don’t worry. We’re about as remote as we can be. No paparazzi will be here.”

Chanda sent home money every two weeks. In a small village in India, she deposited money into the bank account of her Aunt and Uncle who sent her to live in America. The place seemed so remote, almost cut off from the rest of the country. There, a festival took place where participants hurled cow eliminations at each other. The muddy, mucky sense of it had been known for centuries. Locals tied it to an ancient god who they believed restored people’s health with the cow plops. During the festival, thick patties hurled through the air and smushed into the bodies and faces of those rollicking around in the filth.

I met Her 4 Coffee
Nice, breakfast is served! This rain refuses to throw in the white towel and not let the sun have her day! The slanted pattern of the rain is kind of sexy beating on the window! Pancakes are hot, the juice smells fresh and the woman of my dreams smiling at me! Everything going my way, why not try my luck at the lottery!
