If you missed out on last night's show on A New Generation of Adoptees Blogtalkradio, they featured hip-hop rapper Will Glass A.K.A Intrinzik, you missed out on HOPE, INSPIRATION, GREAT MUSIC KNOWLEDGE, POSITIVE SOUND CHECK, and much more! Guess what, he is that great that you STILL have the opportunity to catch the show by clicking here.
Intrinzik shared his journey on being adopted, his search and reunion, and how his musical interest and talent traced back to his biological father that is also a singer, writer, and drummer like Intrinzik. Makes you think huh?
If you did not have the chance to listen to Intrinzik, he has this awesome song, Kidnapped. This was the first song that he wrote that really expressed his feelings about life. His anger and lack of understanding towards not knowing why he was placed for adoption. He wrote it in hopes that his mom would one day hear the song and know how he really felt about being placed for adoption. He mentions his birthday and year in the song with an expectation that a birth mother, his mother, would be able to hear it and say to themselves, "Hey, I had a child on that day, that's my son". It brought me back to the day that I began The Not So Secret Life of an Adoptee. It's our way as adoptees of being indirect and direct about our feelings toward being placed for adoption or being abandoned. That's the great thing about the arts. The freedom of expression is powerful, not to mention it's easier to sing or rap your feelings that run deep like DNA, rather then tell to tell someone to their face and risking how they may respond or react to your emotions that you are 100 percent entitled to.
I don't want to discover that I was a mistake or a product of a one night stand or statutory rape. Dont get me wrong I was thankful for the life I was given. -Intrinzik
