Raku
the Narrator is an esteemed author, poet, music composer and producer,
with an extensive background in sound recording. He is also a natural
comedian with a unique and unconventional perspective on life, love,
nature, people and the time/space continuum. This is actually the
inspiration behind the moniker ‘The Narrator’. He never claims to write
any of his own material, as life does that for him. His job (as the
Narrator) is to simply lay back in the cut, peep the scenario, take
notes, put the shit in perspective… and let ya'll do the math.
He accredits his gift of wordplay and storytelling to his late grandmother Rohelia Alsup. She too was a gifted writer, and would often read and sing to him, from the time he was an infant up until he entered grade school. She once told him of a book she had written and submitted to a publisher before having it copyrighted; and the hundreds of thousands of dollars it generated in sales (none of which she received).

This
true-life story is greatly responsible for Raku's shrewd business savvy
and keen entrepreneur mindedness. His refusal to be just another
starving artist (destined to die nameless and penniless) is the
motivation behind his dogged determination to achieve personal success,
as well as to assist others in the effort to bring their visions to
fruition. This is the essence of the Blaq Inc. movement.
This book is a 'no holds barred', 'pull no punches', 'tell it like it
is' narrative of life and love in the time/space continuum. No one comes
as correct (but politically incorrect) as the notorious Narrator. He
doesn't speak the truth... he is the truth!
