(Pharell, In My Mind 2006, How Does It Feel? Instrumental) The instrumental engages any listener from the get go, the vibe is energetic.
I wrote this song the first day i got back from the east coast, in a sense it holds reflections and a new state of mind, now being back in my hometown...Los Angeles. I was tired from the Georgetown Project, it was fun, a memorable experience with professionals and students that exemplify unique ambitions, academic excellence and student achievement. I feel that the students that I taught this summer are all TRUE Academic Artists!

Education is essential, and public education serves millions of children across the nation, and billions worldwide. In many of my songs I made a concerted effort to intertwine and sway the listener to new ideas and vocabulary. Many words yall'â„¢all know, but I wanted to include familiar diction to make it a part of everyones conventional wisdom. My intent with this album was to express my concern for education and its current state of affairs. Being on the frontline, I see things that Americans are not seeing and must be reported. I am a teacher in Boyle Heights, educating young minds who along the way has swallowed facts and now is spitting out a strong opinion. The issue, "Why are students not meeting nor exceeding the standard? Many issues than stem off, like ACCESSâ„¢? The bottom line is public education does not give all students a competitive advantage. Technology is essential, especially laptop computers, it is the tool that all students must be equipped with because it gives opportunities that are limitless when comparing it to many of the already resources available in the classroom. (i.e. books, notebooks, pens, and glue). Basically, the purpose to this educational mixtape is to offer listeners a verbal assault, knowledge, a showcase of diction & syntax. I want you to find your favorite track, play it over and over again and know why you like it. For more insight, you can also check my POV @ www.myspace.com/teachinlaâ„¢
