Surprisingly a couple of weeks ago I got a letter from someone about my music. I'll just let you read it...

Hi Tye. My son is digging your song, "I'm still cool." He is basically that lil boy in the beginning of the video. The one kid that took up for him - just like in the video - moved away on November 5th (the same day we had the massacre down here at Fort Hood - it was all over the news)...

You know its not cool for a little Black Boy to be so smart, get straight A's, play Chess, Study Science, etc. Since he isnt sagging his pants, trying to do the latest dance and he is avoiding joining the gangs they give him a hard time. My son identifies with your song and video. He just asked me to get the cd so he could listen to it over and over and over.... etc. You get the picture...

I wanted to know if you could autograph something for him and put some encouraging words on it for him. We are military and his dad is gone again. I would greatly appreciate it if you would do this for me. I can save you the shipping & handling. I am from Raleigh so my dad can meet you somewhere and mail it to me. Just let me know.

Thank You.

This is the type of letter that lets me know that I'm doing the right thing!  It's good to know that my music is really helping kids out there.
