Peace and Greetings to all who enter this page in seek of culture and wisdom of the ancients
through my path and Avenue in life's structure.
Iam now a 31 year old street cadet out of Jamaica N.Y. Located in
the borough of Queens.
I have been trained in the Arts and crafts of the Hip-Hop culture and sciences since
1990. I was given the name Optick One through my elders and generals in the graffiti Art culture, which at that time
was at the end of its golden era.
I was passed on the torch by the best of the best, in order to elevate and help up-lift
all of humanity in the ghettos through out the world and my universe, as the same applies for my self once all the work that
I have strived for, as long as I have finally starts paying off.
(AMEN)
Ever since, as a young man, having been passed on the scrolls
of life that openned my 3rd eye, in which I still carry on and shine on with this day (All praises due to the up most).
I live this life as a Graffiti Swords Smith, Graff Bhudda Monk from out the Deserts of NYC with knowledge of whi
I AM and Why I Be Who I Be. Through the stages of darkness I came to the light with skills, style and finesse. In which
is still being over looked by society, due to the instant and temporary ideas being put in the heads of the most by quantity
instead of quality. There for I keep My Self in the Underground where everything I produce is grass roots and movement in
itself as a living piece I created through the sight and sound of natural mathematics, soul and style. My craft that
has not been understood by the general public, continues to thrive over the commercialized look alikes, there for I cant put
a price on my work. I do it for free. Why? Because each word, phraze or Name I draw is meant for that specific person. And
it is a priceless piece of work. But now in these ages of accessability to info and technology, the mass would love to be
sold, bought and sponsored by a company and handled like an object..
People will imitate trend in a heart beat and mass produce watered down fonts, images
and conversation plus life style in a heart beat. (I pray people wake up and dance to the beat of the drums instead of
standing around looking what ever they want to be in the "Street Life" they living...)
Remember this Brothers and sisters of the Human Family,
We made music to dance to, we threw house jams for people in the community to jam to...
Now where are we???
I will tell you all what I cee so far and build on the destruction of the notions and
ideas most gassed headed yuppies try and bring into our culture, with the intent on marketting and selling us, the children
of the ghetto for our style, just so they can make a quick buck off you or whom ever you know...
Sorry folks, but I just cant let them do that to me.
For some strange and unknown reason, the mass population just wants to stay deaf
and blind to the real reminders that ones should have in order to keep every things at peace. And it seems that the Corperate
World Organizations of food clothing and shelter experimentation, profit the most out of hip-hop culture. For everything
is equal and self in its own individual term and way. But as a scene of its own? NO! There for I will have the opportunity
to share with the world on what jewels I have to give, in regards of what is good for me may as well be good for you all too.
So in respects to all and all are in regards of doing so.( Let Us Give Thanks).
Through the turmoil, I still grow and elevate further than the ones
who believe, yet stray away from the original duties of my kind. And that original duty is; Self Preservation, the original
path that has been paved and laid out brick by brick, and stone by stone through the strong foundations which have been built
for us- and the youth. We just have to realize it as us being a component that connenvts to all parts which helps circulate
feul to the engine, which is us.
For many years now, until the nation gets together for the end in order to reach new beginnings, The media has been
playing a strong role in every so-called Red Blooded American. And the Only role that is being played by the Wanna-be Patriotic
Citizens of this country and so-called super power, through her emotions, is fear. Fear of what?.........
Fear of the poor and righteous actually rising as a nation and to become "what"
they can never have....
Control over our own people. The wordv"What" is the fear that is spoken of. And what will happen to the government if it looses
its mind control over all of humanity?
Through that question lies the dreams and hopes for all of mankind. The future is truly
ours only if we let it be and exist in positivity. And through right and peace perception is how it shall be gained, viewed
and known as good..
We as a nation need to set examples and help free the minds and stereo types of all so-called
others through sights and sounds. Other than the way that they; the media and tell-a lie vision and radios do to us and the next generations
to come.
This was the original message in the Hip-Hop culture, and there is
a science to every one and every thing.

A lil break down of what I cee My culture to be...
What is the difference between Hip-Hop Culture and Rap?
“Hip-Hop was and still today is a culture of the poor and oppressed. And Rap is
the industries way to package and sell that expression”- As told to me by the Great Elder Pee-Wee Dance-Universal Zulu
Nation. But isn’t Rap music? Yes, Rap is also the musical element in the Hip-Hop Culture, apart from DJing, BBoying,
Graffiti Art and Emceeing, being the 4 foundational crafts in Hip-Hop. But there are not only 4 elements in the Hip-Hop Culture.
There are actually 9 all together. And continuing on to the 5th through the 9th, would be
beat boxing, + verbal communication/ divine speech/ slang/ code words, + style of clothing, + knowledge of the elders/
common sense, + manifesting as an entrepreneur/ hustle your craft and get paid / making a living off of the craft one has
mastered. And through all, comes "STYLE".
What kind of music does Hip-Hop deal with? Rap?
No. Hip-Hop deals with all music. Especially in a diverse city such as New York City.
There are many influences with in the music. And especially now in days, being that everything is produced electronically.
And just to show and prove that, we must cee or understand the BBoy element. Such as dancing to music. So in conclusion, I
cee all forms of music as influence.
Guidance, and respects due to all who came this far.
Add on suns and daughters.
