The Sandmann's Journal Vol. 3 follows the same format as volumes 1 & 2. In Volume 1, you will find topics like how I established my career in Canada. The dates at the beginning of each chapter indicate when I published them online. Also, I base the material on my point of view. Therefore, readers should use them to know me as an artist. Once that was done, with a few books published through Soul Asylum Poetry & Publishing Inc. with accompanying albums, I turned my attention to literary writing on social and theological matters that challenged my routine and thought process.

Volume 2 is a chapter on my reaction to Patriarchy vs. Feminism while finding a balance between the civil and gay rights concerns that became a public subject. I also gave my point of view on some trending topics in Hip Hop. Volume 2 reads as a melting pot of my philosophy on gender, misconceptions, the murder of Trayvon Martin, bullying, gun violence in America, the fairness of God, monotheism, faith, and scarcity. After you experience those two books, you will arrive at Volume 3, where I determine the creed of Hip Hop.

In this Volume, I break down the creed of Hip Hop Kulture by defining its essence as described by KRS One, The Zulu Nation, and the Five Percenters. This time, I connect Hip Hop with African culture, address "The Mayor Ford Scandal," and pose more questions on the family, gender accountability, and traditional marriage. I also speak on the uniqueness of African music and dance cultures. I clarify my romantic curiosity with women, showing that although I'm far from a simp or an MGTOW, beauty reflects in my eye as a beholder.

Volume 3 is a reaction to dramatic ideological changes in today's world. You will find chapters on my thoughts concerning LGBTQIA+ rights in Africa, contrasting the idea with the continent's long-standing Cultural, Islamic, and Christian traditions. The Abrahamic dogma's running thread is a focal point for understanding secularism. I do not criticize. The balance between overselling women's liberty to the detriment of the traditional family, the bastardization of heterosexual men, or any long-standing traditions is my target issue.

This Volume speaks on African philosophies like Afrocentrism, Pan-Africanism, The Universal Zulu Nation, The Nation of Gods and Earths, or Five Percenters within the context of Hip Hop discipline. To further demonstrate this approach to creative expression, you will find a chapter on the fall of Donald Sterling, the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, and the spiel about God and Lucifer. More chapters delve into what appeared to be a surge in racism, intolerance, and police killings of unarmed black men in America and the best ways to stop these catastrophes from happening.
