Be all that you can be.......


What do you want to be when you grow up?

This is an age old question that is asked of us from the time we are able to piece together our first sentence. And just like DNA, you will always get different results. “I want to be a doctor, I want to be a lawyer, teacher, a basketball player, a singer, actor, dancer, model." Then there always that select few that say "I want to do it all, dance, act, sing, model, design etc." From then on our our parents do all they can to nuture those dreams and aspirations thus pushing them closer into existence. Many do become the lawyer, doctor teach and the select few do it all sing, rap, act, model, design and much more.

The rapper /singer is able to enfuse there art of reaching people with music to now reach them through the big screen. As they now personify someone other than themselves by taking on different characters.

Queen Latifah, LL Cool J, Mos Def and Jennifer Hudson have been able to captivate their audience on the stage as musician yet when they on that big screen they are able to embody the role of the character so well that you forget that these were rappers and singers. They have earned the respect of actors, directors and producers whom have been doing this for years. But, not only have they become actors they have become entrepenuer, starting their own clothing line, they have becoming authors and much more. These rappers/singers have earned their keep and continue to be everything they dreamed they would, thus showing us just what it means to be Ekleqtic.....

Till next time asking your Whats your ingredient.
