Chris Oledude – β€œTURNING TABLES” - JYLA With his new single β€œTURNING TABLES,” Chris Oledude reaffirms his place as an artist who understands both the power of rhythm and the responsibility of truth-telling. A funky, spirited fair-wage anthem performed as a duet between Oledude and fellow singer-songwriter Lindsey Wilson, the track is a bold introduction to the emotional, political, and spiritual heartbeat […]

"β€œTURNING TABLES” reminds listeners that music can energize, inspire, and challenge all at once. It’s not just a singleβ€”it’s a statement." Such a powerful perception of the music, thank you!

Chris Oledude - Preacher Man - Vol. 1 (Album Review) | Music Review World Chris Oledude’s Preacher Man, Vol. 1 is not just an album; it’s a revival. The project is a culmination of decades of artistry, reflection, and activism

Most importantly, WE need to stand with Mamdani, to ensure that Trumpocracy gets the message that it shall not win the war it has started.

Whatever concerns one may have about Mr. Mamdani, he is not evil, he is not a fascistic Nazi, he is not anti-Semitic, and he is smart, industrious, and representative of the energy and hope that New York City breathes every generation.

We cannot save America's political and moral soul if we give in to the treasonous and treacherous terrorism that our alleged President continues to utilize. The capitulation has to stop here and now on THIS Election Day! (A few centuries ago, Richard III required similar treatment.)

He knows that, in THIS city, his endorsement of Cuomo will create the exact opposite effect and clinch Mamdani's victory.
HOWEVER, this reality is precisely why we need to elect Mamdani.

I believe that Donald Trump wants Zohran Mamdani to win this election so he can use NYC as a punching bag. Trump is convinced that by painting NYC as the ultimate woke liberal hell, he can unite the rest of the nation in one big fascistic lynching party.

August 28 will mark the 70th anniversary of the horrific lynching of Emmett Till, by Roy Bryant & J.W. Milam. Emmett was a 14 year old boy who was wrongly accused of grabbing & verbally threatening, white woman Carolyn Bryant in 1955.

I will be posting in his honor till the 28th.
