Of course, the Amsterdam News was right around the corner from the apollo, between 8th avenue and 126 street. And we always knew how important the Amsterdam news was to the community because we didn;t have a major outlet. We couldn’t depend on the daily news of the post to service the community but Amsterdam news did that. So thank you guys over the years for that.
Ray Chew: I had an idea, and I talked about my journey, but in January of this year, 2024, God tapped me on the shoulder and said “It is time for you to express in your own voice as an artist the wonderful gifts I have for you.” And the title of my forthcoming album is “My Journey.” So, I already had a title for the album. This was going to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. And one of the things that came to me was the style of how I wanted to express myself.
