Wisdom Creations Band Sierra Nevada World Music Festival

Wisdom Creations Band
Sierra Nevada World Music Festival
Rainbows, Lightening, Rain & Sun!

We just returned from the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival where we had a very majestic experience. While we were performing our song Next Level, the sun was shining bright and hot and out of nowhere rain clouds appeared. Rain began to fall and lightening lit up the sky and a massive rainbow appeared right above the crowd and stage. All elements appeared Water, Earth, Air and Fire. Extra special thanks to all of the people that came and supported our show. It was super special to look out and see so many familiar faces singing the words to our songs with huge smiles on their faces. Together we can change the world through positive thought, word and action. Imagine 50 million people hearing our music at the same time. That's how we impact the planet instantly. Help us make this a reality. Spread the word as far and wide as you can. Anything is possible. If we believe we can achieve anything. In gratitude, humbleness and reverence~

A.P.O.S.T.L.E. # 29 on the CMJ Charts

http://www.reverbnation.com/blacksheeppublicity

The new Album, Lyrical Activism features DJ Quest (Bulletproof Space Travelers), Viveca Hawkins, and fellow Heavyweight Dub Champion member Stero Lion. Lyrical Activism features beats by Etheric Double (Resident Anti-Hero), and was co produced by legendary producer Mark Pistel (Meat Beat Manifesto, Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, Consolidated, MC 900 ft Jesus). The electro-dub-hop sound-scape is the perfect surface for A.P.O.S.T.L.E.’s intensity. He’s created a lyrical force field where materialism, misogyny and nonsense rhymes cannot penetrate. By contrast to the norm, listeners become engaged, informed and inspired. This leaves A.P.O.S.T.L.E. as the last man standing above a sea of mediocrity in a dying genre.

Dr. Anthony Atkins Break it d.own: Drop guns, wear.condoms

Anthony Atkins, MD, a family physician
working in the poverty-stricken
neighborhoods of Lima, Ohio, wanted
a way to reach the young African-
American males who came to his office
with bullet wounds and the
13-year-old girls arriving for prenatal
care. He also wanted to find a way to
reduce the number of adolescents he
saw who had not just one sexually
transmitted disease, but multiple
types simultaneously.
And then he settled on music.
"These kids listen to hip-hop. They
vibe to that. I needed to find a rapper
and write out what I saw in a way that
the kids would listen," said the staff
physician at the Lima Community
Health Center.
So, even though he prefers jazz, the
49-year-old doctor started writing
lyrics for hip-hop songs and turned
them over to local rappers as well as
those from Detroit, Chicago and New
York. They refilled the songs to make
them even more relevant for the audience
Dr. Atkins wanted to reach.
"They said, 'You're old school, but
we know what you're trying to say.'
They made it flow better. They made
it rhyme," he said.
The result is "LifeStoryz: State of
Emergency," a 16-track compact disc
that is probably one of the few, if not
only, hip-hop releases with a physician
credited on the cover. He hands
it out to patients or refers them to his
PHOTO BY RUSSELL LEE
Anthony Atkins, MD, had a message, but an "old-school" style, so he reached out to rappers from across the country to
help translate for today's adolescents. With a little help from his friends, Dr. Atkins put together a 16-track CDwith the
beat of the urban street and a strong public health awareness.
MySpace page where four ofthe songsare
posted. He and his rappers also
performed at the local high school in
September 2006 with the support of
the county health department.
"Adolescents think they're bulletproof
and invincible. Dr. Atkins
makes them stop and think, and he's
found a way to do it through music,"
said Becky Dershem, a nurse practitioner
and director of nursing for the
Allen County Health Dept. in Lima.
"The patients love him, and teenagers
respect him a great deal. He's been a
Continued on next pageOhio doctor raps message
Continued from preceding page
real asset to our community."
The music is refreshing. The songs
have explicit messages without profanity.
The public health themes are
clear, but in a language that speaks directly
to the intended audience. "Put
the gun away," is a song performed by
20-year-old Chicago rapper J-Verse
that outlines the consequences - jail
and death - of being armed. "Strap it
up," sung by the 21-year-old Toledo,
Ohio-based Miss Behavin, urges
women to have enough pride in themselves
to demand that men practice
safe sex and for men to respect their
partners enough to do so.
An eye on making a difference
According to public health officials,
it's unclear yet what kind of impact
this music has had on the area's
health status. Lima, with a 2006population
of 38,219,is nestled in the fairly
rural, central-northwest portion of
the state. The jurisdiction in general,
and particularly the south-side area
where the clinic is based, is one of
Ohio's poorer locales. Nationally,
more than 12% of people live below
the poverty line, but it's more than
22% in Lima. The city and the surrounding
county's percentage of
adults experiencing violence in the
past year, 9.3%, is more than double
the state's rate o( 4.3%, and the region
has some of the state's higher rates of
HIV and STDs.
But anecdotal evidence suggests
that the project may have found real
traction.
"Some of the parents saY,'What
did you show my kids? Whatever you
did, my daughter now says she's not
going to have sex,' " Dr. Atkins
explained.
Those who have worked with him
suspect he is having success because,
although he is decades older than
those to whom he wants to communicate
these messages, he's not so far removed
from their world. He grew up
in inner-city Detroit and, when faced
with a decision about what to do with
his life, chose the U.S, Air Force over
joining a gang and selling drugs. Both
options, he realized, involved the possibility
of getting shot, but one would
provide his mother with a flag and
other compensation if that happened.
After an honorable discharge in
1988, he ended up in a Health Resources
and Service Administration
program at Ohio State University College
of Medicine that aimed to draw
students from disadvantaged backgrounds
into the health professions,
This path led him to medical school.
He graduated in 1999. He then completed
his family medicine residency
in 2002 at Flower Hospital in Sylvania,
Ohio, where he received an
award for his communication skills
and was known for frank talk.
"He could always ask the difficult
questions, use real words and get
away with it," said Jeanine Huttner,
MD, director of the residency program.
"He relates incrediply well to
people."
The local health status mayor may
not be improving because of Dr,
Atkins musical endeavors, but it is
clear that his medical work is making
a difference.
In 2003,when he was looking for an

death.rate in the county has dropped
by slightly more than 12%. The
African-American death rate was cut
by 20%.
"LifeStoryz" has cost Dr. Atkins
$7,500thus far, paid by his extra weekend
shifts in the emergency department
at Lima Memorial Heath System.
He is hunting for ways to
distribute his music more widely and
working on a second album. He hasn't
yet planned for what he'll do if his
CDs ever top the charts or even make
any money, although local schools
would be a likely beneficiary .•
