Creative Liberation
Mental Liberation Thru Creativity. My name is Jordan Jackson and on my blog you will find all things that inspire me and things that I create from those inspirations. I have created an artistic lifestyle brand called "Original State of Mind!" and will be studying Menswear at Fashion Institute of Technology in the fall of 2011. I am a visual artist, designer, musician, writer, whatever I feel like being at the time. I hope you enjoy what you see and hear.
"Thank you to all those of came out to ‘No Country From Common Ground’. Thank you to Wild Lincoln for their wonderful presence. Special thank you to Fred Pharaoh for blessing us with his historic debut performance. Last but not least, thank you to all of those who made this event possible. Look out for more from Common Ground NY. Peace"

THROWBACK THURSDAY
GANGSTARR — Mass Appeal
R.I.P Keith “GURU” ELAM
Gang Starr “Moment of Truth”
This song has helped me get through so many trying times. GURU’s lyrics are very comforting; in times of doubt, fear, and confusion, it’s good to know that someone you’ve never even met has felt the same way you do. Also, the whole idea of him meeting his ‘Moment of Truth’ is a bit eerie (since today is his death anniversary) but we proudly celebrate the life of one of hip-hop’s greatest emcees.
