Monica and Frank Ski

Monica @ Frank Ski Foundation Event.  ‘Real’ Music on the Way

On Sunday afternoon, Monica was a guest at Atlanta radio DJ, Frank Ski’s Kid foundation luncheon. She was also honored as a local legend. ← Nuff said. Are you digging her look? I call it doubling up on the real. In a recent “Living the Life” episode Monica was in the studio working on a song for her long overdue sixth album. When asked about the ‘red swoop’ Monica gave the music industry a diagnosis..

Monica at Frank Ski Foundation event

“Let me tell you what the problem is..  people do not want to be real. They to afraid of what that’s gonna mean to somebody else. You can only be you. God created us all as individuals so if you not feeling me because I’m me then you must have problems with yourself, because he created us in our own light. From the way we talk, to the way we look, from the color of your skin, to your hair.”

There’s the double: music is one, the hair is two.. (continued)

“That’s why I just - I ain’t even bought a bag of weave in the last four years. I’m over it. I’m sick of it. I’m wearing what I got.”

Hear that (and more) for yourself..

I like Monica ( plus to mention we share a name 😊 ), she’s always been herself and the industry has always tried to make her into what she’s not. I admire her strength and pursuit to be authentic to herself. I wish her much success in the future!
