May 28, 2009, Nassau, The Bahamas... Fans of multi-award winning producer, hip-hop artist and the CEO of Dunamus Soundz, Lavard 'Manifest' Parks agree that the first quarter of 2009 has been an amazing year for him. The prince of positive hip hop started off in January touring Atlanta, The Bahamas and The Cayman Islands with his newly released Parables only to end up performing and snagging some awards at the Marlins, including one for his hip-hopera duet with Joanne Callender.
Fans wondering if he's on the quiet as a prelude to his next big project and major announcement finally have their answer as to where he's been – by his wife's side welcoming their first child.
Manifest's wife Radel, a poet and fixture in the Caribbean film industry, gave birth to a baby boy, Johanan (Jojo) Manifest Parks in The Bahamas' capital city of Nassau. The proud parents and their new son are home getting adjusted to the family life and Manifest admits he's been taking photos of his son whenever he's not holding him.
"My wife and I are really thankful for all the prayers, support, e-mails, calls and shout-outs on Facebook, MySpace and love from our family and friends on the newest addition to our family," beamed Manifest. "I must admit, he's handsome like his Daddy! But on the real, we are truly blessed that God placed him in our lives and with all the practice we've had with our nieces and nephews, we're more than ready for this amazing journey into parenthood. And if anyone is wondering, yes, he'll be in the studio with me soon – if only to record his first words."
