Let’s talk about the why?
Why am I here? Why am I doing music? Why was I the chosen sperm to link up with the egg? Why do I choose hip hop to express myself when I could kill it over a Jersey or house beat? Why did I shave my head? Why am I dressed “like a boy”? Why do I continue to lose sleep working two jobs — or three, depending on how you look at it? Why does it take me forever to check emails? Why is it taking so long to release music? Why do I have to dress tacky af with a bad wig to appeal to the masses? Why do some people’s breath smell like death? Did they not hear what I said in Likkle Honey? Why do I have so many ideas but so little money? Why am I constantly asking myself why?
I know why people become monks. No lie, it sounds like such a peaceful life to walk into. Who knows, though — it may be just the same.
How I look at all these questions is like looking at a 1,000-piece puzzle. You need to fit the pieces together, and maybe one fell in the couch, or maybe it was never in the box. Either way, you need to find it to complete the puzzle, right? And maybe instead of asking why, you should be asking when.
There’s so much to question nowadays. That’s why sometimes it’s best to just focus on the questions you have for yourself.
So let’s start with the basics !
What is your why? Mine?
To fully understand who I am through the paths I choose to share — whether that be music, fashion, or these random Tumblr posts — getting my ideas out is a must. Not gonna lie, I miss dropping a track every Friday. I might have to figure out a way to do that again.
