My Rendition of "TI RATANA VINDANA"
Written by Emassin   
Wednesday, 06 January 2010 15:44

Ti Ratana Vindana means "a salutation (or praise) to the three jewels" in Buddhism, the three jewels are the Buddha, sangha (community) and the dharma (the practice). The picture above is the symbol of the three jewels. The words are an ancient chant spoken in Pali - the language of the Buddha. I chant the Ti Ratana Vandana often before I do a serious meditation sit. The words are soothing and allow me to become closer to the higher spirit (most know as God). It is usually chanted slower in a much more beautiful way. Rather than a traditional chant, I chose to rap the chant as if it were verses in order to share with the Hip-Hop world. I hope you likes. Thanks to arndroid for the production. Also, the sample is another one from Norah Jones. Dig it! Click below:

Ok.. Firstly, letting you all hear this track (below) puts me in a sort of vulnerable state. I am working on my issues in a serious way but the song (Girls Wearing Nothing) mocks my own process and may seem to present itself in a funny way. It is what it is and I would apprecite the feedback but please be kind as it is quite revealing.

I texted my cuzzin Enoch a couple days ago asking when "No Parking Anytime" is coming out and no response. Low and behold, just today Arndroid put me on to one of his songs that he leaked out. This cut is making me more eagar to hear the whole album. Produced by Drewbyrd and featuring CY, this joint is manifesting a long derserving destiny of Enoch's future. Of course his delivery is sick widdit, we all know he comes, but peep CY. This dude stays consistent on his entire 16. He actually does what many local rappers don't do at the end of every line - rhyme. Take notes kids. Link below:
