I Dream. @nyiwasthere - Tumblr Blog

We create moments, we create memories. We create a future, we create a life. We create whatever we choose to create, I decided to create this. It might not even be me, I am just a bystander of a much higher purpose. Unity. |#VISIONSBYMIRZA | photos by THEPRINCEOFPEACE

What “Ghetto” Names Really Mean

“Tinashe” - Means “God is with us” in Shona ( An African language spoken by nearly 80 percent of people in Zimbabwe.)

“Lakeisha” - A Swahili name meaning “favorite one.”

“Ashanti” - Name of a powerful African empire in West Africa.

“Tanisha” - Hausa of West Africa name meaning “born on Monday.”

“Zola” - Means “quiet, tranquil” in Zulu.

“Amandla” - Zulu and Xhosa word meaning “power”. The word was a popular rallying cry in the days of resistance against Apartheid.

“Zendaya” - Means “ To Give Thanks” in Shona

“Latonia” - A Latin name. Latonia was the mother of Diana in Roman mythology.

“Lulu” - Swahili and Muslim name meaning “pearl” or “precious.”

“Ciara” - Means “dark-haired” in Irish Gaelic

“Lateefah” - A North African name meaning “gentle and pleasant.”

“Mercedes” - Means “Gracious gifts/Benefits) in Spanish

“Kaya” - Ghanaian language (Ga) phrase that means “don’t go or stay.”

“Amara” - The Swahili word amara, meaning “urgent business.” Also the Hindu name meaning “immortal.”

“Shanika” - African Bantu name, meaning “young one from the wilderness.

“Zuri” - Means “beautiful” in Swahili.

“Onika” - Word of African origin meaning “warrior.”

JUST BECAUSE A NAME SOUNDS DIFFERENT DOES NOT MEAN IT’S “RATCHET” OR “GHETTO” THEY HAVE BEAUTIFUL MEANINGS.

EVEN IF THEY DON’T HAVE MEANINGS, EVERY NAME DESERVE RESPECT, NOT TRADITIONAL “WESTERN” NAMES.

DON’T BE IGNORANT, LEARN.

Here it is folks, what the amazing artist k00ps has been working on for me and what I’ve been waiting to share with you. This is the gif version without the logo that will be included later, so please don’t remove the caption. The still image will be the cover for the album, as well as being available on an all over print shirt with ‘AEON FUX’ on the front and ‘APOSEMATIC’ on the back. Due to it’s length I guess it’s officially a mixtape. It’s more ambitious than I anticipated but I’m really going to try and push myself and put out something that I’m proud of. The tentative tracklist is as follows:

Aposematic~Tarantula Hawk~Teardrinker~Exuvium~Little Fly~Coleoptera~Swarm~Darlingtonia (Cobra Lily)~Crypsis~3 possible bonus tracks

I’ve been working really, really hard this year. This has been my first year performing live, and I have had a lot of low points, but the tremendous support I’ve received has made me want to push forward and complete what I’ve started. This will be my first official release ever. I’d like to make physical copies available as well as digital, and I’d like to have an art book to go along with the album. I’m still looking for artists for a few songs, so please don’t hesitate to hit me up. I’m looking for really distinctive styles/also a few more promo images so please contact me if you’re an artist who has a unique style!! I’m definitely looking to commission folks. Thank you to k00ps for being such an amazing artist and supportive friend. Thank you all for listening and for the support, I’m trying to get folks really hyped about this release so please reblog if you can. Thank you.
