KET.N: “Our Thang,” Our Tribe, Our Responsibility Great day, Great day, my people! It’s your brother ha2tim, and today I’m bringing you a special reflection—one that digs deep into who we are, what we build, and why we must build together.

Reclaiming Our Rhythm: The Crusade for Black Intellectual Property Uniting Creativity, Crafting Our Future Greetings, Visionaries and Culture Keepers! Brother Ha2tim here, steering the ship at GNJMedia, where we don't just navigate through the waters of discourse; we dive into the depths of empowerment and reclaim what's ours. Today, we're embarking on a voyage through the turbulent seas of Black intellectual property. This isn't just a conversation; it's a clarion call to every soul tuned into the rhythm of our heritage. We're talking about the pulse of our culture – jazz, blues, hip-hop, and every beat in between. These are more than just melodies; they're the stories of our ancestors, the heartbeat of our communities, and the unsung anthems of our struggles and triumphs.
