Brazenitout is the paperback version of my ebook series, "The Sandmann's Journal," in the form of my alter ego's diary. I courageously share my uncompromising and unedited point of view on Abrahamic religions, modern geopolitics, Hip-Hop Kulture, gender identity, secular ideologies, traditional romance, and the ever-evolving influence of modern technology on our contemporary societies. How did society change so rapidly? I aim to transport readers into a thought-provoking realm, igniting intellectual discussions. As a relatively unknown artist and writer in the independent hip-hop sphere, I conceived this literary work in Toronto, Canada. At the same time, navigating the release and distribution of my first two studio albums and published books. I experimented, utilizing unconventional promotional platforms, such as a MySpace page and popular dating apps, to attract new followers on Facebook and Instagram. That unique approach enabled me to connect with diverse global audiences, passionately consuming my music. Rumors began to circulate about an African dude from the United States promoting his rap songs that contain vulgarities and streetwise lyrics. Some made comparisons to Tupac and Biggie. The songs were compositions inspired by my experiences during two civil wars and a period as a refugee, capturing emotions from events long before my relocation to Toronto. It became necessary to reveal my intellectual thoughts on various topics. Those who spread the rumors needed clarifications, so my next course of action was to launch an opinion blog called "The Freddy Will Blog" to engage the public. Blogging became the preferred platform for ambitious authors in the late 2000s. This book takes the reader back to when I published articles on my blogs, amassing a significant amount of content and following. The thought of losing all the material I had published over the years became possible, and I yearned to share the message with a broader audience. Furthermore, with the emergence of live-streaming podcasts on Youlube, I noticed the topics I wrote about gaining widespread popularity, sparking a revolution. Radical feminism, Men Going Their Own Way, and the Manosphere were emerging discourses, as Black Lives Matter and other polarizing dialogs, including the LGBTQIA+ and celebrity gossip. As that expanded for creators, I stayed true to my literary roots. While many created stunning videos, mine was solely in the written format. 2016, upon my departure from Canada to Great Britain and Belgium, I compiled those 2008 to 2012 entries and published the first volume of the Journal, now reissued as Brazenitout.
