Let me tell you how Page 1 came to life.
PAGE 1
What’s good, family.
Before we get too deep into this journey…
I wanted to share this first one with everybody.
PAGE 1 is where it started — the words, the weight, the truth.
How the story came to life… and what it took to write it.
The rest of these notes? I’m keeping those close.
For the ones walking this with me, page by page.
Every week, I’ll open up a little more.
One track. One moment. One note behind the note.
If this speaks to you — come join the tribe.
The rest of PAGES: The Weekly Note will live inside the newsletter.
Link’s in the bio.
Let’s walk this together.
Welcome to the pages.
@toddmarshallmusic on this phenomenal production 🎹🥁🎺

Blessed and grateful to share this moment with you all.
(And none more than @mrsjaeh ..who I will always acknowledge for telling me to dive into making music ..Thank you Jae Boopsie .. Nova & Brave).
Being nominated for a Grammy is more than just recognition - it’s a testament to the power of staying true to your craft and letting your art speak its truth.
(Best Spoken Word Album)
This Grammy weekend has been surreal. Walking these halls, sharing space with legends, and feeling the energy of fellow artists who pour their souls into their work... it’s humbling. To be acknowledged by your peers hits different. It validates not just the music, but every late night in the studio, every written word, every moment of doubt overcome.
To my fans who’ve been riding with me, my team who keeps pushing excellence, and the Recording Academy for this honor - thank you. This nomination is ours. Music has the power to heal, to unite, to inspire, and I’m just grateful to be a vessel.
The journey continues. Keep dreaming big, working harder and using the naysayers as gasoline.
See you in 2026!

Muhammad Ali fought the Fight of the Century just down the block at Madison Square Garden, so it felt right to host the cast of The Greatest, the first authorized scripted series about his life.
They took in the best view of NYC from the 86th Floor Observation Deck to celebrate the series premiere.

As i sit here thinking of how to caption this post….i find myself most staring at the photo i hope you all stare at the same. It’s the photo in slide #2. My journey as boy & man & athlete & artist has never been short of HARD lessons & HARD terrain to navigate (perhaps befitting of my family name i somehow made as notable as certain characters i’ve been blessed to bring to life). One of those lessons was how to negotiate leading from the 2 spot, while embracing that God Constructed me to be a 1. That can be quite the hat trick to pull off & can equally lead to a feeling of stuck between a rock & a HARD place.
*
The photo shown in slide 2….is an array of #1’s who ALL possess a fight for each other being just as important as a fight for ourselves. 1 of these men i have been able to call a brother for 20 years, 1 of them for 10, and 2 of these men i get to help navigate their terrain & road map for the next 20 years as they grow from young men to older men. THAT is the essence of TEAM. I am BIG team. And it’s taking me quite some time to figure out the way GOD wanted me to navigate that oft’ heard adage: “Big TEAM, little me”; But in this season of my life…i have finally figured it out. God Built me to be “Big TEAM, Big ME”.
*
@_benipedia_ my brother of 25 years….your sight of me, your gifts, your essence has effortlessly aided this growth. Cash Sr. is ONE of the greatest gifts of my career. As are YOU. @primevideo & @michaelbjordan thank your part in this chapter of my journey.
*
Speaking of essence….our DEAR @essence - You have proven for 16 years now that you are owed so much credit equally…in helping me to figure out this ever elusive piece of that puzzling feat. And on this 3rd cover shoot - with the mighty help of @bexxfrancois & @marcirodgers_ & their teams….YOU have beautifully captured the GLORY of the incomparable Muhammad Ali’s story, of Ben’s, of Jaalen’s, of Michael’s, of Kai’s, of Amin’s, of Mine: 5 Black Men, 5 Men, 5 Actors, 5 Big TEAMS, 5 Big ME’s..representing the others who await & those WE stand on the shoulders of!
*
And i am eternally humbled by you entrusting me to represent YOU….all these years. It’s been one of my greatest honors✊🏾

An icon is never made in isolation.
Before the world knew Muhammad Ali as “The Greatest,” there was Cassius Clay, a young man with big dreams, a fighting spirit, and a village of people who helped shape his path.
In Prime Video’s limited series ‘The Greatest,’ Jaalen Best, Omari Hardwick, Michael Ealy, Amin Joseph and Kai Parham bring the family, friendships, faith and rivalries that helped define Ali’s journey to life, telling a story that goes deeper than the legend.
For our latest digital cover, we’re spotlighting the knockout cast and revisiting the people and experiences behind one of the most recognizable legacies in history.
Read the full cover story on ESSENCE.com.
