Its just an expedition into the realms of what is, yet shouldn't be. 3 sides of the same but all together different. This is what happens when things that should stay sleep, wake up. I was going through a period not too long ago where I felt like I couldn't take it anymore. Like my flesh was just too strong and too hungry for the simple. I was tiered of trying to be what I saw in my head when everything around me was coming against it. I was dealing with people in the streets that were saved and finding out that its not just the brutha with the suit and the tie on that might look at you like a joke and treat you less then. It can also be the brutha from the block that talks about you and the brutha with the suit and tie on the same way. God let me see that evil is evil and good is good, no matter where you find it or how its packaged. I couldn't take it. I felt alone and had actually caused my family to go through some severe hardships as a result of my trusting saints more then I did God. That's when I decided to backslide. I was done with the church. I had recorded some songs that included wicked language and demonic subjects and I was fine with it. I felt like I couldn't keep living my life as a broke gospel rap artist that could be making millions in the world if I just let go of people that let go of me a long time ago. So I recorded these songs ( not the white face songs) and planned to perform them in my city. Thank God for my wife's relationship with God and her unwillingness to see me be that kind of man. She told me that even though she knew I could do more for us as a family if sold out, she also knew we would suffer in the end. So she refused to let me continue on that project. I felt like a sucka inside. The fact that she was harder then me made me feel weak. Then I thought about it and felt like I had to be honest with my saints about this situation. But I couldn't. I was afraid of what they would say. That's when I noticed Kanye on Christian church shows and Beyonce doing cameos on Christian albums. And then R. kelly did a gospel album and I couldn't take it. Even Mase was doing his thing. I thought the church will embrace the enemies soldiers because the 'Made it" by the worlds standards but wont embrace their own because we haven't. It was all flesh. Nothing but the flesh. As I felt anger I recalled a few dreams when I was painted all white. From my head to my toes I was painted white. After some research I found out that this was done by some of the so called shamans in different cultures and tribes. But I felt it was connected to evil. At the same time I know that we are all connected to evil as long as we are alive because the flesh can do no good. It, if left to its own will, desires to be evil. So I thought of the name white face. I'm still working on the next project so I cant go into it any deeper then that but, I chose to record a more toned down version of what I was feeling. Now the reason I decided to post the songs is because I have family that are still very much deep in the streets and they were touched by the album. It actually made them consider getting saved. It did because they are still at that stage of their walks. They deal with evil constantly and struggle with issues that I was able to address in the white face songs. The project was never for saints, and its not going to touch you if your not dealing with it. But just like any other form of medicine, if you take it and you don't need it, you can have a negative reaction to the medicine. When it enters the body and cant find the sickness that it was designed to destroy, it has no where else to go but into your system. A system that didn't need it. You get the point. If you have changed you feelings about me because of these 12 songs, I understand and can only hope that in Gods time, he reconciles us in the spirit. I make music for the saints and the sinners, but I have a passion for the sinners. I wont try to be what others want me to be at the expense of not being able to tell the whole truth. I know who I am in Christ and what God made me to be. Yet, I also know that I have to be honest if others are to know that they too, despite the battle with the flesh, can be saved. If you have any questions or concerns about the White Face songs, or just want to say what you feel, please post away or email me. I stand by my choice and trust that Gods will, will be done. CROW
