What’s in a Name???
Blackerinkwells – The Mission

Aight then, so at this point, mad people have been asking me, “Yo, what does blackerinkwells mean?” And I always have to spell my email address out for people because they never can catch on to the whole scenario…so, here’s the science behind it:

blacker inkwe(ll)²s isn’t really an acronym, but instead a letter jumble, kinda like the ones you see in the newspapers near the comics. If you switch the letters around, it spells:

Killer Black’s well

If you’re a hip-hop fan, you will know the name of the infamous Killer Black – QB Icon! That’s my family right there, and thun went home in April of 1997. We grew up together from the dirt, and what makes it real deep for me is that his government name was Todd as well…

So I made myself the promise that when he passed, I’d go even harder at the dreams I had in life, because it wasn’t just about me anymore…it was about making sure part of TJ’s dreams lived on through me accomplishing my lifelong dreams. So all of this coming to life constantly reminds me that he is well, because as my dreams live on, so do his!!!

It was the best way I could think of to insure his memory would live on through me as best as possible…and to always allow me to remember that while I am here, it is not always about me – or our own individual wants. Sometimes we can forget in the midst of our day-to-day struggles that we lose people everyday…and when you lose someone, there’s no going back until we get home ourselves. So for me, I want to make sure that thun can rest comfortably, smiling down knowing that his life does indeed live on in each and every one of us…

So if you think you’re ill, we’re iller than your’s over here…

You got that dope, think you fresh, we doper and fresher than you and yours…

And if you think your ink writes black…

My ink will always touch the page and bleed blacker than yours…so Killer can live on eternally…

That’s what’s in the name thunnie…

So since you’ve decided to come through and share in this moment, might as well take a stroll with me through headquarters to see what this whole “blackerinkwells movement” is all about.

Now let’s go…
