"You Just Freestyled!" - Vol 1...

Rondald Owens

This book primarily focuses on freestyle as it applies to rap. But the principles in & of themselves are universal I believe. Often after we master or even become proficient at a skill. We apply it without thinking, we “freestyle it”. These are my opinions. I’ve been freestyling professionally for 10 years, been featured on news outlets & in documentaries. This is a brief reflection on some things I’ve noticed, and what I’ve gleaned learning from others. You may find the path to your goals a different way, nothing here is concrete take what works for you. Thanks for considering what is written here :)

Dahomey Kingdom - The Amazon...

Rolf Hedger

The Kingdom of Dahomey emerged as a dominant force in West Africa during the early 17th century, rising from a small tribal settlement to a powerful and organized state. Located in present-day Benin, Dahomey was founded by the Fon people, who established a centralized monarchy that would go on to shape the region’s history for centuries. The kingdom’s foundation was marked by military expansion, strategic leadership, and a distinct socio-political structure that set it apart from neighboring states. 
The origins of Dahomey can be traced back to the reign of King Houegbadja, who ruled in the early 1600s. He is often credited with transforming the region into a formidable kingdom by unifying various smaller communities under a single rule. Before Dahomey’s consolidation, the region was dominated by the more powerful Allada Kingdom. However, through strategic alliances and calculated warfare, the rulers of Dahomey gradually expanded their influence, laying the groundwork for future dominance. 
One of the key aspects of Dahomey’s rise was its strong central government. Unlike many other African polities of the time, Dahomey’s monarchy operated with an intricate administrative system. The king, known as the Ahosu, wielded absolute power but was supported by a council of advisors and military leaders who ensured efficient governance. This structured political organization allowed Dahomey to maintain stability even as it expanded through military campaigns.
