I was born, raised, and still live on the island of St.Croix, went to school with him, played little league baseball with him and his brother, sat and reasoned with him under the tamarind tree in the Marley Housing waterfront in Fredericksted. I will never forget you Vaughn, your music was and will continue to be an inspiration to the way I live and think. I really thank you for that, God bless you my brother, may you rest in eternal peace.

"Begin your day chasing evil thoughts away" The slow tempo of the band, that sparse sound,the phrasing of the lyrics, a very original sound indeed . It's rather sad to hear this "last jam" because artists like this don't come around too often.

Such a beautiful voice. Fell in love with Midnite and then, of course, Akae Beka. My heart is saddened when I am reminded of his passing. I love his chanting style. It is so full of praise and messages of learning. He was truly a blessing from Jah.

I was honored to be there in the flesh to see him one last time. Little did I know it would be his last performance. This song was a part of his encore. I remember thinking to myself “wow this is a rare moment” Vaughn wouldn’t do encore’s but this time he did. We love and miss you Vaughn. You always brought a higher energy. Different from anyone I have ever seen. I have some footage on my IG @_RuffyTuffy_

Wow, how apropos. Blessings for this video and blessings to Empress Makeda who has that longstanding, "ainshant" connection with Midnite-Akae Beka family (Anu, Ancient - Bless Antigua DNA). Gratitude is the key to life. Living in gratitude preserves one's life, actually and bio-chemically, and it is the bodily aura of gratitude which represents the actualization of knowledge (light) that the ancestors smile upon when welcoming you home to Zayan (Azania, Zanj) - the land of awakened ones. As this 3-dimensional earthly existence is a way-station (galactical school), the higher beings view knowledge as supreme; not an accumulation of information but an assimilation and actualization of supreme knowledge manifested in one's walk. The ancient sages whose stories were eventually reworked and included in the bible and other sacred texts referred to knowledge as the light of the sun/son, and this light "per-son-al" (of or from the sun creator within); thus the knowledge is personally yours forever and that vibrational frequency cannot be passed on to another. Knowledge is your personal savior. Oftentimes, folks ask "who" is this and that god, like Jesus, Yahoshua, Krishna, etc. More fundamentally to get to the core of the concept, it should be asked "what" is Jesus, etc. It is knowledge. These are ainshant afrakan pre-adamite keys to the cosmos. Expression of creator reflects balance in male and female so for instance in the judeo christian tradition the "jesus christ" of course is not a first and last name but a title representing an evolved state of balance - jesus being the male principle (the number 1) and christ being the female principle (the number 0). So together it's the number 10 which one above the highest number of completion 9. In KRST (Kar-Ast), Kemetically you have the Ka=body soul and AsT is Auset the Afrakan mother principle that Greeks called Isis. Christ=consciousness=philo-sophia (SBA, kemetically). The ainshant process of anointing (with the shrub acacia, etc.) of the wrapped body of the ascended one is the physical making of the christ, i.e. mummification - making a mummy - and we call our mother mum or mummy. Give thanks for this video post and platform for me to freestyle in honor and respek of our beloved brother. Bless !
