DREAM BIG!!
Just kicked it w my boys and now I feel like I have to speak on some shit... DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU WHAT YOU CAN'T & WON'T DO!!! There's nothing wrong w dreaming big and having lofty goals bc if you don't dream big you can't be big.. you dream little & you'll always be little. Everybody who has accomplished the so called impossible was once discouraged and not believed in. Dream BIG.. bc if you dream big and try to accomplished the so called impossible you'll wind up accomplishing half that shit if not all of it while the person who viewed it as impossible has gotten nowhere.
I have lofty goals.. & I know that. But if I sat back and didn't dream big I wouldn't have accomplished what I have. Yea I haven't gotten far but I'm somewhere. There was once upon a time I didn't know where I'd even record, how I'd get beats, how I'd shoot a video, how I'd drop a mixtape etc. I wasn't even sure if people would fuck w me. Now look, I go to a legit studio & have great relationships w all the engineers, I have producers sending me beats for free, I shot a legit video and directed, casted, wrote the treatment all myself, & dropped a mixtape that has more dl's than a lot of people I know who've been doing this for years. I get hit up all the time from people saying they fuck w this track, that track givin me props and respect. I've gotten on music blogs and people have heard my shit all across the world. Might not be a lot of people but a little still counts. Everything starts w a little.. Rome wasn't built in a day. The pyramids were once just individual bricks. I WILL achieve everything I've set out to do.. I WILL dream big, I WILL have lofty goals, & I will succeed. That's the mindset you have to have. You think like a loser you'll be a loser... & I refuse to be a loser.
DREAM BIG....

I called this track "FLATLINE" cause I felt as tho I killed the shit..
ME
Hi Hater....
I've come to the point where I'm quite content w the fact that I'll have haters... or people who simply don't fuckin listen and appreciate art and creativity. You know why?! Bc there's 3x's that amount of people that fuck w me and wanna see me do big things. & big things I'll shall do.... simple as that. This pt 2 will be epic.
Selling my "Joe Strummer SB's" so I can afford studio time.. shit's kinda depressing cause it took me a while to find them but when I make it I'll just buy another pair.. *crosses fingers*
Gettin back in the studio soon ^_^
I'm extra hype about this.. I haven't been at the studio I usually record at in so long. I can't wait to see the renovations either! That place just seems to bring the best outta me, prolly cause time is money there lol but still.. the sincere people, the calming landscape. It just gives me really good vibes and helps me perform to my potential.
I've also come to the conclusion that all my life I've not cared what anyone thought about my decisions, style of dress, hairstyles, ect.. so I'm not gonna start now. My music is an extension of me so I'm gonna produce the music that I want to produce. & as long as it's good shit people will fuck w me. If not then oh well. I'm done wondering if people are gonna connect to my shit bc that stress is just overbearing so I plan to just do me.
Everything hasn't really gon the way I would have liked but what's meant to be will be so it's all good. No matter what tho "THE ORIENTATION" will be dropping JUNE 23, my bday. It's going to be like a present to myself. After all these man hours & preparation I will have a solid body of work and my perseverance will be tangible. The cover so far is dope af. It is actually being done by my old roommate from college who I smoked up on his 1st night there. It's dope to see things come full circle and goes to show that treating everybody you meet w respect & kindness is a smart business move.
One word I can use to describe my upcoming mixtape is ECLECTIC.. I have production from ID Labs, Big Jerm, Clams Casino, Cardo, etc. The features..... smh. Idk how I did it, really tho. Like if I could go back to last year this time & give myself like an update on my situation my mind would be blown. I have actual guitar solos on my mixtape... that is SO dope to me lol. I can't wait to see what my next project entails but for now I'm focused on trying to make this the classic I know it has the potential to be. So back to the studio I go to bang out these records. People are gonna be so shocked to see what I can really do. The Summertime is a song very dear to my heart but honestly that was something light. Were gonna go w about 17 tracks, 1 being an interlude type thingy. I'm hopin that this project will mirror the quality of such mixtapes as "KIDS", "THE WARM UP/THE COME UP", "KUSH&OJ", "FINALLY FAMOUS 3", "LIVE LOVE ASAP", & "THE SWELLY EXPRESS".
But at some point I have to end this so I shall...
