Acknowledgments

To my mother, Dr. Janice K. Connor. Mom you know you always gave me that faith, that fortitude, that fire that fuels my inspired desire. Now I give it back to you.

I will not repress my inspiration, it will be expressed to many nations. Like a drum you provide the bass, boom, rhythm, and inspiring rhyme to my life. You are a Queen. You showed me that I can. You’re an icon.

Love your Son,

Eddie
