My life was like the movie Brown Sugar.then I flipped the Script!!!
But, Honestly, I am truly blessed to be here & share my experiences!"
My passion and dedication to Hip-Hop music allowed me to travel across the world as a rap artist throughout the U.S, Germany, Paris, Norway, Amsterdam, Switzerland etc.but God had another plan for my Life.& His plan was (B.E.T.T.E.R) than mine & incorporated everything I've always wanted* As an ARTIST, ACTIVIST & HUMANITARIAN I'm able to be a blessing to others and make a difference in the world!!!In 2008 during my musical hiatus, I started going back to church & saw the violence destroying my community in Newark, NJ. During a 40-Day fast the film Moral Panic directed by Akintola Hanif inspired me to provide our youth with positive outlets and alternatives to violence & gangs.I've started my non-profit organization called B.E.T.T.E.R (Bringing Education Through True Entertainment Resources) to help kids in my community!!! Our goal is to use multi-media as a platform to educate our children for both social & economic success. I have an Annual Back to School Event that provides free Child & Family Services as well as performances, guest speakers & free school supplies to deserving children. I'm surrounding myself with family and good spirited people with like minds.For all my music fans know that my life has transitioned."but i will eventually record again.Hip-hop is missing love, creativity & direction!!! So if you desire to do music know that you have the power of influence & the more popular you become the bigger your responsibility & accountability becomes 2 guide our children towards the light* ALWAYS REMEMBER 2 WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN MUCH IS REQUIRED * Be Blessed & Much Luv~Devlaree
