With mega churches more concerned with tax returns than spiritual bankruptcy, absentee parents content on living second childhoods instead of raising competent adults, and ego driven leaders jockeying for a seat at Master’s table, it’s easy to understand why shallow billboard hits are all pretense and no power.

Soul man Athony David has a gift for fans of the From Afros To Shelltoes Blog. Damn Good music. Peep this exclusive joint, “4evermore” feat our play cousin Phonte( Little Brother/Foreign Exchange) and Algebra, from his upcoming album As Above So Below. The song is a “summer time get down with a cutey at Rae Rae’s cookout sho nuff jam.”

Our homie Anthony David & India.Arie are nominated for a Grammy (Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals). Peep the flyer to RSVP!

Everybody needs a soundtrack. I bet you Obama would bump these joints from Outkast, Marvin, Gaye, Erykah Badu, and Gil Scott Heron in his Presidential Caddy!

The following joint is an exclusive excerpt from award winning writer Edward M. Garnes, Jr.’s long awaited collection Other Side of The Game: Rare Testimonials On Music & Black Cultural Production to be published by Home Grown in 2009. This was the first story ever written on Anthony David way back in 2000.
