I remember the very first time I heard Tippa Irie's music, it was from my brother in law Handel McNeish, Tippa's cousin. I know that Tippa is a conscious artist doing the work of the most high. His lyrical content and written testimony verifies this and gives hope. I embrace and support his work of consciousness for positive change through music. We need more Artist like Tippa to write, sing, and perform. His words and work may encourage those that are going through darkness. Tippa's written story will let them see him as the example, that if they continue with determination they too can persevere through all obstacles to obtain their goals. His written words will lend an ear to those who may be feeling despair and lost. I endorse and encourage readers to imagine. * Sandra Izsadore, Artist, Activist and author of *FELA and ME* *
