JIM HUGHES, U.S. ARMY COMBAT READINESS CENTER PUBLIC AFFAIRS FORT NOVOSEL—A small team of soldiers and civilians combines rap and hip-hop music with stunning visuals in a mission to bring safety back to the Army Family.
“Ricky and his talented crew of Wordz N Vizion have dramatically increased the traffic on the Combat Readiness Center’s website and social media platforms where we have uploaded their videos,” said Jimmie Cummings, Director of Communication and Public Affairs for the CRC.

Other members of the group include Janeth Escajeda, video producer and CEO and owner of SparkContent Media, LLC, and also Sgt. Donald V. Williams, who performs as Exotic the Prophet and markets the group and operates its website, and Sgt. Arthur L. Glass III, who performs as Matrikz Stylez. “When I was a young staff sergeant, I was on a funeral detail and served as the senior member in charge,” Gravely recalled, adding that the deceased soldier had been killed in an accident. “When I presented the flag to the family, the third person took the flag because the first two were crying hysterically. It took all my strength not to lose it myself. I knew then that I never wanted to be in a situation where I lost a Soldier to an accident.
