NEW MUSIC: TREY SONGZ-STILL BE HERE

Trey Songz dropped an oldie but goodie entitled, Still Be Here, which actually is “All the If’s” from his first album “I GOTTA MAKE IT.” The R/B crooner sings over a uptempo beat about what he should have done to keep his baby. Get ready for a plethora of hot new joints from Trigga, as he prepares his new album Chapter V, which is due out in 2012.

A Letter From Troy Davis

Troy Davis will forever be etched in my memory. Over the past week, there has been so much to come out about the case of Davis vs State of Georgia. Tonight the “earthly” battle is over as Troy was executed tonight at 11:08pm! The only question I’m asking is how does being convicted on the testimony of 9 “eye witness,” cannot be overturned when 7 of the 9 witness recanted there statements?! I just don’t understand.

I do sympathize however with the McPhail family for the loss they incurred, but don’t ever desire closure, at the expense of the life of a person who could very well have been innocent. I know that in there hearts questions are coming up.

Here is the letter Troy Davis wrote to all his supporters!
To All:

I want to thank all of you for your efforts and dedication to Human Rights and Human Kindness, in the past year I have experienced such emotion, joy, sadness and never ending faith. It is because of all of you that I am alive today, as I look at my sister Martina I am marveled by the love she has for me and of course I worry about her and her health, but as she tells me she is the eldest and she will not back down from this fight to save my life and prove to the world that I am innocent of this terrible crime.

As I look at my mail from across the globe, from places I have never ever dreamed I would know about and people speaking languages and expressing cultures and religions I could only hope to one day see first hand. I am humbled by the emotion that fills my heart with overwhelming, overflowing Joy. I can’t even explain the insurgence of emotion I feel when I try to express the strength I draw from you all, it compounds my faith and it shows me yet again that this is not a case about the death penalty, this is not a case about Troy Davis, this is a case about Justice and the Human Spirit to see Justice prevail.

I cannot answer all of your letters but I do read them all, I cannot see you all but I can imagine your faces, I cannot hear you speak but your letters take me to the far reaches of the world, I cannot touch you physically but I feel your warmth everyday I exist.

So Thank you and remember I am in a place where execution can only destroy your physical form but because of my faith in God, my family and all of you I have been spiritually free for some time and no matter what happens in the days, weeks to come, this Movement to end the death penalty, to seek true justice, to expose a system that fails to protect the innocent must be accelerated. There are so many more Troy Davis’. This fight to end the death penalty is not won or lost through me but through our strength to move forward and save every innocent person in captivity around the globe. We need to dismantle this Unjust system city by city, state by state and country by country.

I can’t wait to Stand with you, no matter if that is in physical or spiritual form, I will one day be announcing,
” I AM TROY DAVIS, and I AM FREE!”

Never Stop Fighting for Justice and We will Win!

Troy was found guilty of murdering a police officer 19 years ago, based upon the testimony of 9 witnesses. Today, 7 of those 9 have recanted their testimony entirely, and there are enormous problems with the testimony of the remaining 2 witness accounts. There is NO OTHER EVIDENCE. The murder weapon was never found. There is no DNA to test. Troy died by lethal injection tonight!

 

The State Of Georgia Denies Clemency For Troy Davis

Today it was announced that the State of Georgia has denied clemency to Troy Davis, who was accused of murdering an off duty police officer back in 1989. Check out the story.

“Whether the trial witnesses against [Troy Davis] were lying then or are lying now, by fighting against his requested relief Georgia is saying that its interest in the finality of its capital judgments is more important than the accuracy of its capital verdicts.”

Andrew Cohen, who has served as chief legal analyst and legal editor for CBS News, wrote those words regarding death row inmate Troy Davis on TheAtlantic.com yesterday. They come near the end of a vitally important essay in which Cohen spells out “how far we have to go toward fair and accurate capital punishment in America.” I read them over and over, because as a person who has been advocating for Davis’s clemency bid, they struck me as frighteningly true.

This morning, Mr. Cohen’s analysis was proven accurate: Georgia’s State Board of Pardons and Paroles announced that it is denying Davis clemency. He is to be executed by lethal injection tomorrow for the 1989 murder of off-duty police officer Mark MacPhail.

It doesn’t take a legal expert to look at the public record and see that there is nothing approaching “beyond a reasonable doubt” here. But a long list of legal experts have, in fact, come forward to say that the case against Troy Davis is far too thin to support the death penalty. The list includes about 1,500 names, ranging from Andrew Cohen to former state Supreme Court justices to author and capital punishment expert Scott Turow. All of these authorities are in agreement that there is simply not enough there to justify killing a man.

The entire case against Davis is based on eyewitness testimony — and seven out of nine eyewitnesses have either recanted or changed their testimonies. Several have testified that they were coerced by police, and one of the remaining two witnesses (Sylvester “Redd” Coles) has been implicated as the real shooter. (Indeed, according to numerous affidavits, Coles has publicly boasted of getting away with the murder.) There is no physical evidence tying Davis to the crime. Just the word of people who have since said that they were frightened into lying.

NEW MUSIC: DAY26-ANGEL

Day26 is back, and getting ready to release their 3rd album. Working with producers such as Troy Taylor, & Bryan Michael Cox…we know that the boys will be coming hard with that real R/B…but I just keep waiting to hear Que’s voice. I’m sorry.
Can someone please tell me why as a fan it’s so to come to grips with a group when one of the original members is no longer there? I’m being serious. I really do understand why TLC just left things as was. Even though Destiny’s Child added a new member…do people even remember Michelle?

Angel produced by Bryan-Michael Cox

 

NEW MUSIC: DAY26-SOLID GROUND[PROD BY BCOX SNIPPET/TAGS]

Here is a snippet of a possible new joint from Day26 new album. I like it because B. Cox has his hand on it..but whew it’s hard listening to these guys & not here Que in there. I understand the “fall out” and all of that..but honestly he was the reason I loved the group. Yet they are all talented singers, so I’m sure if the production is right, and it should be with B.Cox, Troy Taylor and other talented producers, I’ll give this album a go as well.
