My thing is that I don't give no person that much power over my path that I'm walking. Not one person can make or break what I'm doing, except me or God- Nipsey Hussle.
Grit is more than bravado it's the ability to recover over again and over again when all the odds are against you. According to Dr. Angela Duckworth author of Grit; The Power of Passion and Perservance, grit is what helps us attain results on abstract goals. It's what keeps us going. One person may posses these traits while others don't . Angela researched 16,000 American adults to determine the Grit Scale and these were her finding's;
Talent X Effort=Skill
Skill X Effort = Achievement
Grit is achievement and it trumps talent because Gritter people are dramatically more motivated than others to seek a meaningful, other-centered life. Higher scores on purpose correlate with higher scores on the Grit Scales
(Angela Duckworth 2018).
In short, successful people live their lives as a marathon, not a sprint and they always know the"Why" behind everything they do. Nipsey embodied resilience and integrated his self-transcendence philosophy into his music with chants like "Hussle and Motivate"/ "Change Tomorrow".
Mantras are special to me because I'm aware of the healing effects they have on the brain and spirit.
Repetition is the mother of Knowledge

Excerpt from Hip Hop Saved My Life: Alchemy Workbook
The word "Mantra" is derived from Sanskrit. Mantra contains two words-"man" which means "to think" (also in manas "mind) and suffix "tra" which means "tool", hence a literal translation would be instrument of thought"
A mantra is more than words in a sentence. It's a powerful phrase stated repeatedly to shift one's subconscious through vibrational tone (word/sound/power)
Reflecting on this crisis amongst us, I made the decision to release some new music because I believe in the power of mantras and I want to aid everyone recovery. So please listen, download and share my new Single "Vibrate Higher Mantra" Below:
