Ex Ámenté:

Ex Ámenté:

An urbanized guerilla warfare tactic known for using any and or all forms of art, music and poetry to change the social and or economic conditions of oppressed peoples by introducing new thoughts and concepts into society.



This word and concept came to me in a dream last night.

I dreamed that I was riding in a car with a friend of mines late at night and was stopped by law enforcement at what appeared to be a checkpoint.



We were detained and interrogated and at 1st it seemed that the friend was the one they were harassing. The officers were searching through the contents of the car and asking all types of questions from where we were going to where we were coming from. Then to my surprise, while they were searching the car they started pulling out my promo material. It was SideStreet KED flyers and Stickers, Posters and T Shirts. After the officers conferenced about the promo items they began to direct their questions to me... "are you SideStreet KED? Does this belong to you?" etc... Quickly, I realized that my "friend" was one of them! I felt betrayed.



The "friend" starts telling the other officers that indeed I was SideStreet KED and that the items did belong to me so, they immediately began to search my person and place me in custody. Confused I asked what crime had I committed and what was so illegal about my promotional material? The officer replied that my promo was considered to be "Ex Ámenté". Ofcourse, never having heard that word before I asked what exactly was "Ex Ámenté" and they replied "Look it up!". One cop even went as far as to tell me that everything in this world is ran by them and it's just a waste of time for me to focus energy on anything that's considered to spiritual because "there is nothing after death" so I may as well just focus on making money instead of trying to "fight for the people".



As they walked me to the back of the car I saw a motorcycle cop ride by and signal to the other officers with his right hand. The gesture lead me to believe that he was telling them to make the arrest. Instead the officer loosened the cuffs and started giving me instructions...

He took my shirt from me, kicked off one of my shoes, told me that once he released me he wanted me to keep walking and not to look back. After a few steps he pushed me down in some bushes and ran around a building that was on the corner. By the time I reached the corner he showed back up dressed like a bum and began to spray me with a water hose as if to give me the appearance of being homeless... I then walked a few miles home. at that point I was awaken from the dream.



Immediately, I reached for my phone and put "Ex Ámenté" into dictionary.com looking for a definition. Ofcourse, there wasnt one.

After thinking it over, I decided to claim the word and give it a definition based on how the word was used in my dream.

Ex Ámenté:

An urbanized guerilla warfare tactic known for using any and or all forms of art, music and poetry to change the social and or economic conditions of oppressed peoples by introducing new thoughts and concepts into society.

The Wait Is Finally Over...

The wait is finally over... SideStreet KED Feat. Muffy "Hey U!" The Official Video. Shot & Edited By: Jaeson "Dirty" Williams of The Dirty Boy Social Club Produced By: Organized Noize Written By: SideStreet KED Courtesy of: SideStreetMusicGroup/DungeonEastRecordings/DungeonFamily From The Forthcoming Project By SideStreet KED Entitled "The Push Button Future"



They say "Anything worth having is worth working for". Well, if they don't... they should and this video is proof of that statement. I've faced obstacle after obstacle surrounding this song, video and project overall including lost session files at one point, system crashes, corrupted hard drives, getting kicked out of the W hotel (The original video location) for obvious reasons, blown ad deals, contractual dis-agreements etc... The list goes on. There were people, "Friends" & "Family" that suggested that it just wasn't meant to be but, in my heart I knew that it was. Sometimes we stumble and we need help to get back up. Sometimes there's no one else around to help you so you have to get back up on your own.



Life has a way of giving you just enough to keep you wanting more. The morning of Day 1 was crazy! Most of it was spent in a cloud of smoke trying to track and collect the last bits of a checklist of items while on the phone with Muffy going over details.



I really wasn't sure what to expect before hand. I usually just go with the flow so that day was no different. The girls were already at holdings, the crew was on set, the W Hotel had been paid and the key to the corner suite was ready for pick up. Muffy & I Arrive ready to work.



As Muffy, The Girls & I change, Dirty & The camera crew begin to load in at the W. That's when everything goes wrong. The W Hotel realized what we intended to do in their fine establishment and deemed it not to be welcome. So, after a long drawn out explanation and a few cuss words Not to mention 75% of the all girl cast leaving upon hearing the news (I guess they only do videos shot in hotels) we change locations and continue on.



What we ended up with was an awesome group of people that came to have fun. The shoot ended up lasting all day & when it was over there was feathers everywhere! Think... Morning after a rave party. New friendships were formed, new projects formulated and Life had happened.



I would like to thank Muffy for being a part of this song & helping me to bring it to life. I would also like to thank Folami. I wouldn't be able to do any of this without you being there with me every step of the way. I would also like to thank Ray Murray for creating the perfect soundscape for "Hey U!" & last but, not least and at least not forgotten... That dude Dirty and The Dirty Boy Social Club for putting it all together.
