S/O to the designer @davidjonwalker

Real brother, real friend, and real supporter! No bots over here!

Soul music must be organic and I appreciate the support that rises from an organic place. Out of the depths of our soul comes a true purpose and a true destiny..follow that.

I dedicate Days 3 through 6 of the

#10Daystil10Years Series

To the Angelic Pillars holding and raising the Hawkins Family high above the heavens.

Our Northern Pillar Sister Rebecca Avery

Our Eastern Pillar Brother Rashad Wilson

Our Western Pillar Auntie Sharon Batchelor

and our Southern Pillar Auntie Ellen Jean Kelley White

Each one of these individuals poured heavily into @cassaundrac and me as well as WE. And so we honor each of them as we celebrate this milestone of a decade in unity.

Day 2 of my
10Daysbefore10Years

I can't even begin to describe the relationships that have blossomed since the day CC came into my life.

But I will say that I didn't truly know her until I met her with "Cret!" @sameoldle

Thankful and grateful for my EastCoast Ridaz

10 Days of Celebrating 10 Years with @cassaundrac

Simply Beautiful

From the infamous brownstone in Harlem New York to Englewood and the Cliffs of Jersey settling back West to Inglewood and the Crenshaw District of Cali. We have been riding as ONE for a clear decade now. Two separate journeys merging smoother than either of us could imagine.

Simply Beautiful

So each of these days leading up to May 22nd Im posting a memory of you and I. An archive to remember just how far we've come. Before the children and before the I do.

Simply Beautiful

Let us begin with...

Day 1 of The Hawkins.

It is Monday. God is Still good. Mama's are still praying.

I'm watching footage and noticing the images displayed in our slideshow that was being presented during the performance over these last two ❗️SoldOut❗️ shows. While witnessing how many have "Answered the Call" throughout history Im grateful and honored to know... I am Him.

I am that Father
I am that Husband
I am that Man lying on the street with his body pressed against the pavement by the Opressor.
I am that Brother gathering with other Brothers ready to make a change.

Thank you to @jimettarose and @thevoicesofcreation for "calling" me.

Thank you to @gettymuseum for giving us the platform to display this art.

Thank you to @pabloaguilarstudio for designing the slideshow.

Thank you to @holmanarthurs @carol.tanzman @toksuno for capturing the footage and sharing with me the powerful imagery being cast out into the audience.

Thank you to Los Angeles, the city of Angels, for coming out to witness and embrace the Message, so that You can help spread this Love throughout your continued journey.

"Answer the Call"

Available on "How Good It Is"

Jimetta Rose and the Voices of Creation debut album.

If you would have told me this was going to be my daughter I would have signed up a long time ago! Who knew I would be witnessing a star from the ground up rise amongst the masses. Cassidy Reign. Continue to surprise me babygirl ✨️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✨️

P.S. yall know I like to get deep with it so check it. Cassidy is 8, representing new after something is completed. As we complete the shed and begin the race please family and friends continue to lift her up in light and love.

You may think you know.
You may believe you're ready.
Honestly you have no idea.

Coltrane Kellye Hawkins

Having the opportunity to celebrate him in my hometown Nashville, with family, is the most rewarding at this time in my life. I receive these moments with a higher level of understanding than ever before. Taking nothing for granted.

Family is the most important institution in our society. More than fraternity and sorority. More than church and government. More than employment and financial gain. It is family and family alone that can defeat all opposition.

Coltrane is my gift to GOD and from GOD. He is my Lil Basquiat. My Lil Scat King Cole! He is a GOAT by nature. Please dont be offended. He has purpose (like all of our children) and by the grace of GOD it will be fulfilled.
