Sometimes you may be over qualified for the job you want, and issa ok. Eventually they’ll all be interested in hearing what you have to offer. This is life. 🙃🥁 https://www.instagram.com/p/BojwlO8nt4j/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v77b7rfcc7la

Anyone who knows me personally knows that I could care less about jewelry, shoes, the latest fits, etc. However, I will drip drop when it comes to my music business. @zaytovenbeatz said it best - “Ima spend what is necessary to keep people watching me.” I remember a long time ago I went to a studio to sell some beats to a regional artist looking like a bum, and I ended up with “bum” money. The artist hit me up at the end of the month (smart). Producers are more than likely to sell at discounted prices at the end of the month cause rents coming up. Add that to the fact you’re dressed like your hurting for money, and you will get an embarrassing amount for your hard work. Dress like money to attract money. I like my Steve Jobs flow, but I’m always a super ⭐️ when it comes to my music. 😎💰#themoreyouknow https://www.instagram.com/p/BoRKuswnJXJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s3ij2pgxpear

As above, so below. Usually this axiom has a different meaning: what’s up there, is the exact same down here (in layman’s terms). In this case, what you see above the iceberg, is made by what’s below the iceberg. People tend to think successful people are just lucky, and it was handed to them. In reality, most successful people went through hell to get to heaven, you just didn’t see the struggle. You judge a person in traffic driving a Bentley, thinking she must have rich parents when in reality, she lost everything and had to pawn her wedding ring just to start her business, which took years before she saw success. We judge a celebrity actor who is enjoying his peak of fame and fortune when just a year ago, he homeless and outcasted from his family and friends. Always remember, without struggle, there is no progress. “Everyone likes the once upon a times and happily ever afters, but what really matters is what’s between the chapters” - Mikestrolas Musiculas 🎓📚 https://www.instagram.com/p/BoOwzS7nGzd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cy8d80iqlk94

Fake it till you make it, on a whole new level!!! 😂😂😂 I mean hey, whatever works right?? 🤷🏻‍♂️ https://www.instagram.com/p/BoMHaJoHmVh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=n3zkagbuaatj

I had no idea when I was a kid Bruce Lee was on that higher education. It makes sense now why he is known as arguably the best martial artist who ever lived. The mind is so powerful, yet we (including myself from time to time) forget how to apply it to our lives. We have to become our environment, if we want to dominate it. The mind is formless energy around us, not a piece of matter in our heads (🧠). Suddenly becoming a rockstar or throwing hadokens does not seem so far fetched as it sounds. We are only limited to our mind. #freeyourmind https://www.instagram.com/p/BoJgyHRnyzX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z8ylwmtb5tqf

Sometimes Mondays can start like this.. and Issa ok. Just roll away and come back strong when you’re ready. 😂😂😂 #motivationmonday https://www.instagram.com/p/BoG94SvnHt2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dvzfq7mjpknn

See the thing is, most people won’t realize their true potential until they hit rock bottom. Why? Because when you hit rock bottom, your survival instincts kick in. You’re immune to pain to the point to where you’re not afraid to try anything. The hunger panes in your stomach. The loss of “friends” who see you as 3rd class, the overdrawn balance in your account. Let that pain push you to greatness. You have nothing to lose but fear, and fear is crippling. 🎓 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn_LbWZncl2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14v5kxgv0swy4

Have you ever seen a dog get lost in their favourite jam? It’s bliss, pure bliss. Not wondering about if he/she will get the mailman today. Not worried about being a bad dog yesterday, or if they will find a good bone this weekend. Just, living in the moment, jammin out to music. 🎥 @gustavothefriend https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn8nmApHHND/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8gg7idgm3sk6

I used to listen to a video that included this speech from @diddy every morning at 5am to start the day. Wake up, gym, making/mixing music, work, school, music, promote, music, sleep, repeat. Somewhere if life I forgot this grind ritual, I guess that happens when you get caught up when life happens to you. Watching this reminds me life happens for you, if you let it. Forget securing the bag: secure the happiness. See you at the finish line. 🥇 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn5__ICH0-y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c31k6gtmrc2b

Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean you can’t believe it. Thought frequencies are real, and @thelisapark has a beautiful way showing this. Keep this in mind next time you recognize your thought patterns. Since we are made up mostly with water, what do you think is happening inside of us? (Btw, music frequencies do the exact same thing) 🧠✨✨ https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn3gdD0nDOj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16ty2cl2mwvsi

Sometimes we let our environment take control of our emotions and when we do, we lose control of ourselves. To be aware, is to know when and how your body acts in certain situations in certain environments. Once you are aware of yourself, you now have the power to choose how you feel and react. Keep this in mind with the fact our lives are ebb and flow from the rhythm of nature, you can have tremendous power over your mind. 🎥 @trewrussellbrand https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn08f-rHaCf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11ff26sunmxq6

Today is Friday. Today is a great day. You are awesome. You are creative. You create good vibes. You are love. You feel love. If you’re not feeling it today, for whatever reason it may be, just listen to your favorite music and get lost. Be happy. Be like @mr.biggie 🙂 https://www.instagram.com/p/BntpPoZHJTO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wg7q2qxduwht

If you have ever called me and asked for free beats, this is what I look like on the other side of the phone. #nofreebeats mane. This is a lively hood. If I feel you have big potential, then we’ll talk, but until then, you gotta pay the piper... or producer in this case. 💎🤷🏻‍♂️💵 $50 per lease, easily affordable.

Ann Margret you were such a doll. Had that saucy attitude and body to go with it. If I had a time machine I would bring you back to the present and make you mine. For now, I’ll just have to find someone like you. #wcw😍 👩🏻 https://www.instagram.com/p/BnoBUHNnCMo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jaq3dnubtvjh

Just stepped out of my barbers chair a few hours ago when I heard about Mac Miller passing away. This really hit hard. I just drove in silence back home, thinking about how important it is to appreciate opportunities given to you, and to never take them, or anyone for granted, for tomorrow is never promised. Mac was the 1st major artist (in my opinion) to reach out to me, asking for beats. Apparently someone from his entourage told him about me, most likely from my 1st mixtape project I did with my mentor Eric Thomas. I remember that night clearly. I was at @austinscoffee looking for fresh talent at their open mic night watching someone perform while I got an email notification: “let’s talk.” I opened it up: it was from Mac Miller. He simply wrote “send me some of your work.” I immediately left and drove home, went through all my beats and sent him a few I thought he would like. The very next night he responded, saying my beats were dope, and that he was looking for a certain mellow vibe. I’m not gonna lie, I wasn’t a huge fan of his so I really didn’t know his sound. I loved Best Day Ever, #nikesonmyfeet Kool Aid and Frozen Pizza, and I def fux with that song #donaldtrump 😂 but that’s all I really knew. I sent more beats and we went back and forth on what he was looking for... and then for reasons I still don’t know to this day, I just stopped trying to make what he was looking for. I stopped sending him beats, and he stopped replying. It was only later I found out he was looking for music for his next album at the time - Watching Movies with the Sound Turned off. I had, and still have his contact info, and my ignorant ass kept thinking I will send him some fire beats when I was “there.” It’s sad to think he believed in my beats more than I did at the time, and I simply gave up, thinking I could never make something a major artist would like. Today I learned a painful lesson and I wish to share this to anyone out there who was/is in a similar situation: DON’T HESITATE WHEN OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS, and NEVER GIVE UP. Rest In Peace Mac Miller, it’s an honor to say you were the 1st big artist to reach out to me. Your creativity will forever live. 🙏🏼❤️ (at Downtown Orlando) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnccisZH5f0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=osx54d2mizcq

So I gotta confession to make. my main mentor that took me under his wing and introduced me to the music industry taught me about cymatics and why we listen to music at 441Hz since the WWII era. I didn’t quite understand the meaning of it all back then, but he encouraged me to implement this knowledge into some of my music and so I eventually did years later. The same beats I made for some major artists and a motivational speaker I look up to, where the same songs that gained a lot of attention. I was skeptical, thinking it was just the beats they liked, but I noticed when I applied this science so subtle in the back ground, it just put you in a certain trance. It would tug on your emotion strings hard: happy, sad, or beast mode. Once at an album release party, I saw people cry when they heard certain songs I produced. Damn, this is powerful. So, why do I share this? Eye told myself to. My mentor said this will give me the edge on producing music, but I don’t compete; I create. Besides, I’m 10 steps ahead by making this technique so creative, one can never tell why they feel a certain way listening to my music. I still get messages and emails how certain songs I produced changed their lives. This knowledge should be taught to all music makers, as it can do so much good for the world, and we are in times when we can can use this power to elevate minds, not dumb them down. In summary: Music is POWERFUL. Music is VIBRATIONS. Certain vibrations change molecules into beautiful patterns (like in this vid), or horrible patterns. And guess how many molecules we have in us? 🤔 KNOW THYSELF. 🙏🏼 This might be deleted soon, so remember this, and do your research. Vibes don’t lie, literally. ❤️🎶 https://www.instagram.com/p/BnaiIoQncPT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1u5vvv93plu6y
