guess who is awake… lol Stylez… I’m back yall.. officially. Back on my ‘twitter ish’ back on my blogging… back on my listening sessions… slowly but surely I’m making a come back LMAO… you shall soon see. So many people have been hitting me up asking me where I have been, if I stopped doing radio and the answer is HELL NO, I’m still up at Sirius still holding down the fort. However, my priorities have definitely changed. I had to take a serious look at the direction of my life, and my contribution to the music community.
I had to analyze so called “friends” had to clean my inner circle. I had to really think about if this is what I want for my life… FOUR months later. I’ve decided. I can do it all. I can maintain two careers, and a full time school schedule. why not? I’m super Stylez.
I have been completely tuned out of this industry life for the past 4 months. I couldn’t tell you who is fucking who or who is the next hot rapper, and honestly I really don’t give a damn. During my break I realized that if i’m going to continue to pursue my career in radio/ entertainment, that I have to change. I can’t focus on the gossip, or who likes me and who doesn’t lol, I just have to do me and impress myself, I’m going to work on my mixtapes, and do what I do because I enjoy it. music is my outlet! So simply stylez is reaching her 2nd birthday 2 full years up on the web… and we are working on her face lift. You thought I was a trip before… lol you haven’t seen nothing yet!!!
I’m calling folk out… I will put you on blast. and I will have a good time doing it. ALLOW ME TO REINTRODUCE MY SELF MY NAME IS STYLEZ!

So any who after a lunch date with a great friend I’ve decided to make the main character like a super character. Give her characteristics from myself along with some of my close female friends. Shit, this book is going to be jammed packed with juice!!! I feel good this morning. Ever since I started writing I’ve been feeling so free. I’m just happy I can share my writing process with you. Tomorrow starts my week at sirius. Wed- saturday. shout outs to my boy V-Stylez, he is so amped about this project we have coming out i can hardly wait to hear the finished product. You guys are taking the journey of writing a book with me, and honestly I wouldn’t rather a better group of friends:
I feel like sharing an excerpt from chapt 1. page 3 first draft
“my brother Kamahi the oldest of my mother’s children ran away to Harlem, to stay with grandma. I guess after the last beating daddy gave momma, that nigga’ just couldn’t take it any more. There was blood everywhere that night, “Momma must have really fucked up”, is what remember thinking. Daddy was furious when he came in, and he had a pipe in his hand. He and momma argued for a little while, before mama started screaming. Like a scene from a horror movie, blood was everywhere, daddy was calm, a little too calm for a person that just beat the mother of his child. He lit his Newport and, began taking long drags of the cancer stick. “Next time, you better not pop, without me.” He said exhaustedly, massaging his right wrist with his left hand, all the while never letting the cigarette drop from his crusty white lips. He rambled on, “you always trying to get slick, you smoke my shit, and then tried to lock me out? Bitch you must be crazy” Mesha ran to mommas aid, but it was already too late daddy was standing over mama with the same pipe he walked in with, Shayla call 911 Mesha started screaming, mommas bleeding from her head. I loved my mother but I didn’t want to get involved, the last time I accidentally got involved in a fight my mother and father had, I ended up being a human shield. Mama was sick of David, she took a lot from him but she was growing tired. I just wanted to say goodnight, she was in the kitchen boiling water, I figured she couldn’t sleep and woke up for some sleepy time tea, whenever one of us couldn’t sleep she would always fix some sleepy time tea and it always worked, maybe mama needed some tea I remember saying to myself, I entered the kitchen and gave my momma a long hug, I hadn’t seen her smile in awhile and I hated to see mama unhappy. As my mama began to hug me back the first of the three locks on our apartment door unlocked, he was home. Mama scooted me to my room, but I wanted to say good night to daddy too. I inched a few steps away from the kitchen in anticipation of daddy’s entrance. He opened the door, adorned with a huge smile, the smuggest expression I’ve ever seen on his big face. “I’m home” he exclaimed. No sooner than he entered the apartment did Mama Come barging out of the kitchen “you filthy mother fucker, you think I wouldn’t find out huh? You think I wouldn’t find out about that bitch Derrick? I’m so fuckin tired of your shit” before I could move out of the way, daddy grabbed me, he must of saw the pot of water in mamas hands before I did. Mama wasn’t making tea; she was boiling water for daddy. Mama was infamous for trying to take daddy out; she once stabbed him in the kidney, now she was trying to scold him. “put my daughter down” she screamed “, he didn’t flinch, he got a better grip on me and dared my mother to throw the water “go ahead show Shayla how much you love her, throw the hot water april” april was the name my father gave my mothers angry personality. When ever she got angry he got to calling her april. My mother was focused “I’m going to tell you one more time David, put my fucking daughter down, she has nothing to do with this” my mama and daddy were going back and forth and I was crying, not because I was hurt, but more because I was scared. I didn’t want them fighting again. Every day was an argument; every night was a make-up session. “I’m not putting shit down, you want to burn me? Well than you are going to have to burn the both us, you crazy bitch” they went back and forth like that for a while, Mama eventually poured the water out, and daddy eventually put me down. As I was thrown to the couch, I looked at my father, his features similar to mine, I gave him a piercing stare, my eyes were glazed, I was full of fury :“I HATE YOU” I said concisely, he looked at me, his face bewildered, he couldn’t believe what he had heard “ what did you say to me little girl?” My momma’s blood was boiling inside me, I felt bold, felt the need for him to hear me clearly, I repeated myself “I HATE YOU DAVID”-

This week has been very interesting to say the least. This blog will be no different, now granted it is only Wednesday. However there seems to never be dull moment in my life. I’ve been dealing with an eternal conflict. I almost got wrapped up in trying to fit in with the “IN CROWD” who ever they are. I was listening to a radio friend talk about another woman, and how her “shoe game” wasn’t up to par, which got me to thinking. {
DISCLAIMER: What you are about to read is REAL!!! If you don’t appreciate or recognize real, than maybe its time to minimize this page and go about your business}Now I was a little bothered by the comment, especially because as much as I front like I’m getting it, I can’t afford some of the things that my “industry” friends can afford. As much as I’d love to shop on 5th avenue every weekend, I just can’t afford it, and live my real life as Shawna, you know the person behind the Stylez persona? Yes there is a real live person behind my character lol. I became so frustrated with the thought of not being able to afford the nice things that is slummed my entire weekend, I even cried, that was until I spoke to my advisor. He’s been in the game for about 10 years and he is anything but “flossed out” He is a regular Joe, drives a regular car, he rents doesn’t own big houses or mansions. He’s just a really basic guy that works hard and loves music. “Shawna, you have to be you baby girl, you cant allow what these other people are doing/ and or saying to change your mission, you unlike some of these other folk have a gift, you are talented and you’ve acquired a skill, you don’t have to over compensate, with jewelry or shoes, that stuff will come, further more half the people you just mentioned, are bums fronting for the cameras, there is no money in this game anymore, 99.9% of the shit you see is because people are charging it, ruining their credit to “fit in” do you want to be in debt and cute? Or do you want to be able to own property and than go to Gucci? Shit Stylez, your blessed, you’re a woman in the industry and you’ve accomplished more than the average 30 year old, plus you didn’t have to lay on your back for any of it, you’ve earned everything you have, and you can go to bed at night with a clean conscience, some of your business friends can’t, some of them only have to offer their physical, because their talent is out the window, and so is skill. Don’t get caught up ma, stay focused and geared toward the bigger picture.” I thought about it long and hard. I do want the finer things, I would like to go shoe shopping with the “bad bitches” however, material items don’t define me, or how much of a “bad bitch” I am. I remember saying I’m going to fake it till I make it, so when did my vision become so blurred? 
I had to catch myself; I can’t compare myself to anyone else because no one else can do it like me and vice versa. People get so caught up with the flashing lights they lose sight of the reason they get in the game to begin with. I can’t speak for anyone else but I got in the game because radio is my life. I’ve loved radio since the first time I heard star and buck wild on shot 97. Now I can’t live with out my radio. I’ve invested thousands of dollars in an education suited around communications, just so I had an edge on some of the other competition in radio; I’ve actually acquired a degree in it. I apologize for loosing sight of my dreams, getting caught up with the hoopla… But I’m back. Back to making mixtapes for the people, back to talking to the people who support my career, fuck trying to impress these industry folk, Yes I can admit it I got wrapped up but I re-realize, the only person that needs to be impressed is me! I got into this game because I love music, being able to talk to people around the country about things that are important to them, it’s therapeutic. So I may not be able to afford 2,000 shoes, I may not have 2k diamond earrings but one thing I do have is my passion, I unlike so many people wake up and get to do what I love doing, that’s the ultimate reward…
I’VE HAD A MOMENT OF INDISCRETION BUT IM BACK! AND ITS SOO OK TO BE MYSELF. THE SNEAKER QUEEN THAT CAN ROCK A PAIR OF SHOES WHEN NEED BE… FUCK CONFORMING FOR WHAT? TO BE LIKE THE REST OF THE INDUSTRY SNOBS? I’LL PASS AND MAKE MY OWN WAY.. THANKS ANYWAY. IM GLAD I CAUGHT MY SELF!
TONIGHT AFTER LIPSERVICE {SIRIUS XM RADIO SHADE45 W/ANGELAYEE AND DJ WONDER 8-10PM) I’VE DECIDED TO FINALLY GO CHECK OUT MY HOMIES RAP AND BIG TOM THEY HAVE APARTY AT TALAY EEACH AND EVERY THURSDAY NIGHT AND I WANT YOU TO BE MY SPECIAL INVITED GUEST..

It’s Monday the start of yet another work week. Usually I start the week off with a playful blog, but this morning is going to be a bit different. I couldn’t help but notice one of the trending topics on twitter this past weekend. What blew my mind further were some of the ignorant comments people were making, especially some made by tasteless women. The trending topic was RAPE.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but I consider this to be an ultra sensitive topic, that should never be joked about. There is nothing funny about a person forcing themselves on another person. I was more than offended by some of the comments people wrote, and disturbed by @lilduval for starting the trending topic in the first place. Now before I go in, I will say I kinda liked lil Duval, I thought his twitter antics were funny, until he created the #itaintrape…, I can’t begin to describe the outrage I felt. We joke and kid about things without really thinking about what we are putting in the atmosphere “#itaintrape if the pussy gets wet” that’s what one of the Duval groupies said.
I mean seriously, where do we draw the line? Apparently I wasn’t the only person outraged because @Michaelskolnik from global grind lashed out on the foolishness as well, in an article titled “are you fuckin kidding me” www.globalgrind.com 
I think it’s a shame people just jump on the band wagon for anything, with out using a bit of common sense. I mean come on, #ITAINTRAPE? There isn’t anything better to TT about? This dude @lilduval is wack for that, and I don’t care how many of you duval groupies don’t like what I’m saying. Does this man not have women in his family?
Is he that desperate for attention? This is exactly what my mentor means by fame seekers, so thirsty to be in the lime light, they will say, and do anything!!! People are so desperate to seem “twitter-cool”. Rather than being a fame seeker, why not use your influence to help our community?
I talked to my home girls about this, and they were all outraged as well. Out of my 4 closest homies and myself, 3 of us have been molested or raped. Lil Duval you have no idea of the mental anguish we’ve had to deal with, on a daily basis. What if your daughter was raped? Would you tell her, it ain’t rape if your pussy gets wet? Pathetic, Rather than trying to get attention, and trying to make people like you on twitter, maybe you need to do some soul searching. If this is the type of attention you want, you are the lamest. Victims of rape often blame themselves for it, Hell, I used to blame myself for what happened to me, luckily I’ve had great people in my corner who have helped me through some of the pain, however it doesn’t erase the memory, nor does it change what was done. Your Trending Topic brought tears to my eyes, to see how ignorant people can be. Lil Duval since you seem to have the answers, was it rape when he decided to repeatedly penetrate my 6 year old womb, when he stole my innocence?
People really need to start thinking for themselves rather than allowing idiots like Lil Duval dictate what is “cool”
And if a woman says no, thats it NO MEANS NO, if you take it or try ti persuade her, its rape no if, and, or, buts about it!
