"I'm the Rosa Parks of the Internet!" said the overly dramatic, mostly delusional YouTube personality 'Truthful Trisha' on national tv. This woman is best known for her various crazy antics from faking medical conditions to jumping on people's cars claiming to be hit etc, that were recently showcased on Dr. Phil. During the two part episode, she tried to convince viewers and Dr. Phil himself, that she is constantly being targeted by fans and that she compares herself to Ms. Parks because "she too also speaks up and stands her ground on issues" (huge eye roll). As per usual, Dr. Phil and his team of producers had gone through hours of footage and notes on her, dissecting her, learning all her many nuances...to then present them to her to finally get her to see the truth. Naturally she became very defensive and verbally attacked everyone for making her "look bad." Being the petulant teenager she is (she's actually a grown ass woman btw.), tried to storm off the set only to walk off the wrong way and then staged a ridiculous fainting spell. Yet again, another white person giving a major platform to whine and sulk about how they're being "mistreated" and all their "hardships," and of course how we should all feel sorry for them (clears throat).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lately there's been a huge surge in random occurrences between white people inserting themselves into black people's business and causing a huge scene for no reason. Only to than go on their soap box and cry about how now they may no longer have any employment etc, and how surprised they are that they're being punished because they were only looking out for the greater good of said community. They're "sorry!" Really? Sorry they got caught more like. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We all know about the lady at the Tim's who sh*t on the floor and then threw it at the employees because they didn't allow her to use the washroom. She barely got a slap on the wrist, and later in articles it was stated that she must've been going through something and not just being the entitled, disgusting B*$%# that she clearly is!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The man on the airplane who, although very drunk, decided let's not get up to use the washroom like a normal civilized human being, no, let's just pull it out and pee on the seat in front of me! After which the woman sitting in front complains, and of course she gets reprimanded for it! (shock face) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A woman baths racoons like they're her children and of course it goes viral. But she's getting mad praise for taking care of these animals that can carry several dangerous diseases including but not limited to rabies. She probably also has human children...definite candidate for mom of the year! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let's not forget about all those "Permit Patty's / Peter's" & "BBQ Betty's / Bob's" who randomly disturb black kids and/or families minding their own, either trying to raise money for school supplies etc. by selling products or are enjoying the summer weather by the community pool or having a BBQ. They have no problem inserting themselves into other people's business, clogging up 9-1-1 lines for foolishness, only to go on the defensive after they're called out on it. All of this is a very serious problem that needs to be constantly addressed. It's not only refusing to get better, it's growing in severity. Does White Privilege exist? The fact that this is actually even still a question in today's society is appalling! Dear white people, to those of you who're struggling with this concept, please stop trying to minimize and categorize your "WP Card" by gender, and other non-relevant factors. <u>You're white, so you've got privilege!</u> Understand this, appreciate it for what it is, and then please help by using said privilege to fight the inequalities that you benefit from daily! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All of this proving yet again, that not only is #WhitePrivilege unfortunately alive and well, it's slowly, on the daily, drenching the mind of our society and future generations into believing that all this is acceptable and encouraged!</div>

<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ot1UYqlUaIk/W0ttKx3oLoI/AAAAAAAAAa8/cfhMS3rOeSoSaQQP6VU7OR_L289-HOTwwCLcBGAs/s1600/music%2Bindustry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="800" height="200" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ot1UYqlUaIk/W0ttKx3oLoI/AAAAAAAAAa8/cfhMS3rOeSoSaQQP6VU7OR_L289-HOTwwCLcBGAs/s400/music%2Bindustry.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
There's a growing epidemic going on in the music industry, that's seeing various "promoters", "bookers", "managers", "label execs" etc. brainwashing artists and musicians alike into believing that their "services" are the "industry standard" and have been for decades. In reality, these people have typically been defrauded themselves in whatever area they were working in within music, and sadly they continue to add to these disgusting practises. They're choosing to go down this slimy road, instead of moving forward positively, working to help diminish those wrong-doers, they turn into one themselves convincing others this is the only way in this music society.<br />
<br />
As the story goes, their shiny websites tell a compelling story of their colourful music background and the many household names they've had the pleasure to work with and/or help shape into the artists and musicians we've all come to love...and more importantly who you, the hopeful artist reading this, <u>will </u>natural become if you are fortunate enough to get chosen by them. Legendary venues who's stages are layered with years of the sweat and success of iconic artists, and you too could be part of these amazing legacies. Oh, but there's some fine print there...look a little closer. What? A (supposed) small fee? Oh don't worry that's just an "investment" into your career. During a very not-so-informative call, they try and assure you that working with them will transform your career and definitely take it to the next level. Don't focus on the payments, focus on the<strike> bulls*it</strike> advice that is being so generously shared with you. After asking a few poignant questions regarding their "services" and how they will actually help to move your career forward, they reply with "what's your draw?" "Are your social media numbers high enough?" Because an artist's actual talents as a vocalist, musician, performer etc. are basically of non-importance in today's current climate. When you reply with, "look at my live videos, those numbers equal my draw", they now feel backed into a corner and their promoter side comes out with "How many actual people can you bring out to fill my venue?" Because having a full house buying your food and drink is obviously way more important then the musical entertainment. I'm "hiring" you to do a service for me, but unlike the bouncers, bartenders, cooks, servers etc. you won't be paid your deserved fee...well maybe we can split the door with the split favouring the house although we both know the clientele are there to hear the live music you're providing...with most being friends and family of yours. So what's the point? "It's for exposure!" They say semi-confidently but you quickly take the wind out of their sails by stating "that's what social media is for though, I get global exposure daily!" Suddenly they've run out of tricks in their bag-o-bogus and now annoyingly state "<u>That's how I get paid!</u>" Without realizing it, they've just exposed their own fraud, plus so many others! The true purpose behind all of this, is for them to make money. This doesn't have anything to do with the love of music, as they all always claim. Being there for you the artist, because just like you, they are or were one too. It's solely about them alone. It has now even spread to once legit artists as well. Some of them are acting so desperate, that they're taking on any roles that are the flavour of that week or month, and claim they are this to get funds for themselves. Music education is getting hit hard currently with non credentialed "teachers" taking parents money and only teaching their children very bad habits...that will only have to be un-taught and re-taught properly later on. By that point everyone is over it, and they give up on it altogether. #SuchAShame<br />
<br />
These fraud baths are beyond dirty and need to be stopped once and for all! Yes these deplorable practices have been going on for way too long, but that doesn't make them legit! The truth will always come to light. Let's finally all work together and take back the industry. Legit artists getting legit pay for their music services. How about going back to auditioning and letting them earn their spot instead of "gifting" it to them based on social media algorithms Their gifts and talents will fill the seats naturally. Don't let this eyeless tunnel vision keep going on, stop turning a blind eye.<br />
That's just my #SpecyalOpinion 😎<br />

It’s been just a little over a year since T’s baby girl Tionne past away in part due to the disease known as Hyperemesis Gravidarum. As more awareness is gained, it’s important to also realize that it’s more than just the woman / mother who’s affected; it’s the whole family. You rarely hear from the man / dad’s perspective as the focus is naturally on the woman and the baby she’s carrying. With men feeling helpless and potentially being told their feelings and what they’re going thru while watching their partner suffer don’t matter, it can make most not want to be vocal in any way. Today Mr Specyal is candid with his experiences thru both of T’s pregnancies of their two daughters. To all the HG Moms and families around the world, please know you’re all in our thoughts and prayers. Happy HG Awareness Day! #BlessUp #TionneTuesday #RestInPowerTionne</div>

<a href="https://youtu.be/8Lfpp4zZgpM" target="_blank">Side Effects</a> is a true story discussing the daily struggle of what a pregnant mom goes through when suffering from the debilitating effects of the potentially life threatening disease known as Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG). HG is characterized by severe nausea and vomiting, dehydration and extreme weight loss. "Side Effects" is the lead single off my latest EP "Tionne" which is a tribute to my baby girl who passed away last year in part due to this. #RestInPowerTionne<br />

Help support the movement and spread more awareness by sharing this with everyone in your life as it effects 1 in 4 females regardless if they've given birth before or not. 1 in 3 babies sadly don't make it home. Also please visit The HER Foundation site http://www.hyperemesis.org for more information and to also donate to help further education and research. Currently there is no test to detect this and there is no cure. #HGTruth Thank you in advance! </div>

I recently shot my 8th music video for my new single<i> <b>"Side Effects"</b></i> off my latest EP<i> <b>"Tionne"</b> </i>This song and album mean a great deal to me as this whole body of work is a tribute to my late daughter Tionne and our HG (hyperemesis gravidarum) journey. On set was a mix of emotions with the performance part being the hardest. The video will be done in a couple weeks. I also recently did a PSA on HG awareness. 1 in 4 women will be affected, and 1 in 3 babies born to women who've had HG sadly won't make it home. Check it out <a href="https://www.facebook.com/iamspecyal/videos/vb.196419157114847/1586293164794099/?type=2&theater" target="_blank">HERE</a> and please share! Thanks In Advance :) </div>

<br />
<br />
Today was my original due date and it's crazy to think that my baby girl arrived over a month ago now! Although I'm basically healed from the after birth portion, I'm still recovering from the HG side of things; as some foods and smells I'm getting re-accustomed to and some I won't ever be able to tolerate again! The multiple scars on my body, some I may have for life and the severity of my weight loss. It'll take three years, a far cry from the 6 weeks doctors usually give for a non-cesarean birth *sigh* This is my second time around and although I've experienced some things with this disease previously, this pregnancy was a lot harder even the last weeks and the delivery were very traumatic!<br />
<br />
As most of you know after Tionne was born she immediately was rushed to the NICU at Sick Kids due to her being a preemie but she also had a condition that made it very difficult for her to breath. She not only made it through the night, which most of the medical staff weren't sure if she would make it that first night, she fought for 17 days total. Due to a complication with her lungs (which surgery could not fix) we sadly had to say goodbye. She is now at peace but naturally life will never be the same and our family would love nothing more than to have her here in the physical!<br />
<br />
Most look at us and say how sad you only had your youngest daughter for just a little over two weeks and never got to bring her home. The truth is she was home for a whole 8 months prior to that. We spent Xmas together last year, Mr Specyal's cake day before that, my cake day and even my oldest daughter's as we were all in Jamaica then - although no one believed I was in fact pregnant yet lol. The point I'm making here is she was very much alive, yes unborn but alive none-the- less. We all developed personal relationships with her. Watching her older sis interact with her and how she would always respond to her, they actually would dance together a memory I will cherish for always!<br />
<br />
Unfortunately there are still a lot of questions surrounding Tionne's condition and why exactly all this happened. My other half and I have continually done research and signs are fully pointing towards there being a direct link to HG. We have become strong advocates to help raise awareness because currently there still is not a test to detect it and there is no cure! Most people really don't understand that if you're planning on starting or expanding your family, whether this will be your first child or not, HG does not discriminate. It truly does not care what you have already gone through, no one is immune! Only about 2% of women in Canada will experience this and I, the Specyal one that I am, hit the HG lottery twice! Doctor's have told me there are contributing factors that could help in being a non-official way to see if you could be at risk. It's hereditary your mother also suffered from it, or your own health isn't very good and could be a factor. Both of these categories I did not fall under and still had back to back times with it. *Insert shock face here!*<br />
<br />
With going through this experience again and after seeing not only family and friends and friends of friends still being so unaware and naive to this condition but also medical professionals not even really listening most of the time. Throwing some drugs at it like a quick fix, I decided I need to speak up in a more profound way. My next release (which I'm working on currently) is going to be an EP entitled "Tionne" and I actually started writing it when I was 7 + months along. I was having extreme pain in my uterus which was not normal by any means and it was becoming increasingly hard to breath. This lasted up to and through delivery (two liters of fluid came out of me before the pressure came down and she came out; again not normal) I figured it would be cool to have most of the album written during the experience and then with the final song coming after her birth. As fate would have it I ended up only getting two written as she came very early. Not only is this an EP telling the story of my 2nd pregnancy specifically and what my family has gone through but also the life of an HG mom and family in general. Not enough of us fully speak up about it and if so maybe only to close friends / family or other HG families as it's more comfortable with no judgement passed.<br />
<br />
With only 17 days on the earth, Tionne has touched so many lives, she's brought us into contact with people that we'll love, respect and cherish for life! Although so young, she showed such a maturity in her strength and perseverance. She definitely was an angel on earth and I'm so very thankful and blessed to have been chosen to be her mom!

When one thinks of a Catfish it's usually someone who's created a fake online profile to ultimately catch their unsuspecting prey in attempt to achieve a romantic relationship. Well in the entertainment world, more specifically with regards to music, this <b>new breed of artist / booker / promoter</b> are what seem to be catfish of a different variety but virtually with the same ugly principles.<br />
<br />
As most of you know I've been in the music industry in different capacities for many years and have seen many changes, however with regards to the urban music market unfortunately things have not made much positive movement as it really should have by now. This year especially I've come across so many <b>fraudulent artists turned booker, venue owners, bookers, A&R's etc </b>it would make your head spin! I've practically become a P.I. with all the research and fact checking I've had to do over these past few months with making sure I don't affiliate myself and brand with anymore fraudulent entities! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Q5XSXisRXAc/Vh3ZQlwnUdI/AAAAAAAAAUw/pB8-2Wy_y64/s1600/%2523worknotplaymusiciansunion.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="68" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Q5XSXisRXAc/Vh3ZQlwnUdI/AAAAAAAAAUw/pB8-2Wy_y64/s400/%2523worknotplaymusiciansunion.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
It's one thing when a low down venue owner who only cares about his bottom line (which is filling his spot with people who'll buy drinks so he gets paid and not the musicians who are providing the actual entertainment), but when a fellow artist, someone who has once too been cheated in some capacity, turns around and not only does the exact same thing to others, they also have the nerve to state that<i> "this is how it works in the urban markets" </i>and musicians need to <i>"invest"</i> in their careers. Now we all know actual investments usually give you a decent return and if it's looking like things are going left you can easily pull out and move on. In these situations though unfortunately,<b> they want you to invest</b> not only your time and energy, but also <b>your own funds and essentially not be paid for any of your efforts! </b>Apparently this is the new musician "investment plan." It's straight up disgusting and no one seems to be doing anything to really change this dynamic. Most now just throw up their hands and some don't even continue on with their careers. With spirits crushed, their drives go with it.<br />
<br />
The latest case of these <b>"Fraud Allergies"</b> comes courtesy of a US promotion company that also does some shows here in Canada as well. They are not only using "major label reps" to lure artists through, but also legendary venues such as <b>The Hard Rock</b> <b>Cafe</b> who are allowing this ridiculousness to continue. One artist who's also not new to the game had an encounter with this company and posted his complaint check it out here:<br />
<a href="http://www.ripoffreport.com/r/KING-RYAN-EVENTS/Select-StateProvince/KING-RYAN-EVENTS-LIVE-MUSIC-SHOWCASE-SCAM-ARTISTS-FOR-MONEY-NOT-FOR-AN-ARTIST-TRYING-T-1126694" target="_blank">http://www.ripoffreport.com/r/KING-RYAN-EVENTS/Select-StateProvince/KING-RYAN-EVENTS-LIVE-MUSIC-SHOWCASE-SCAM-ARTISTS-FOR-MONEY-NOT-FOR-AN-ARTIST-TRYING-T-1126694</a><br />
<br />
I just recently learned that a next promotion company, apparently when they get called out by musicians that unsuspectedly decide to work with them, have not only threatened them but also their families. WTF this is seriously outrageous and has become a very serious situation. With more and more unknown to known acts leaving the region to pursue their dreams, giving up on their own city changing their ways, while known acts come back to become ambassadors of sports teams and open up restaurants, the situation has gone from serious to critical and statistically for females in this market it's 20x worse (I'm just saying).<br />
<br />
Personally I always try to make sure to inform my fellow artists and bring awareness as much as I can. I will always get artists here and there contacting me to get my opinion on various people / companies in the industry and I'm always humbled and thankful my opinion is so respected. This year though I've also been contacted by artists I haven't had the pleasure to meet or work with. In these cases my reputation has proceeded me and I am so blessed to be given the ability to help others with my knowledge and insight.<br />

NeFutur Magazine outta Ohio has recently done a <a href="http://neufutur.com/2014/11/specyal-t-dose-of-distinction-2-lp-cd-review/" target="_blank">Review</a> of my new album Dose 2. In it they state: "Batteries Ain’t Included is a track that links together rap and R&B
into a sultry approach, with hints of Beyonce and Missy Elliott. The
production keeps the energy of the track high while making for a track
that will work equally well in clubs and on radio rotation." They've given it an 8.5/10 <a href="https://soundcloud.com/specyal-t-productions/sets/specyal-t-dose-of-distinction-2-lp" target="_blank">Dose Of Distinction 2 LP</a> available now!<br />
