Salute to the year. 2010 you will be missed.
Let me start by saying my mother and father have never agreed on anything. Not anytime in my memory. I don't even think the 3 of us have one picture together. But for the first time ever they do agree on one thing. That i should pursue music. Not because i think i can or its my dream but because im talented and it could actually happen. After releasing my last mixtape and seeing how i got little to no response from blogs or anything like that i was a little discouraged. I felt like the tape was good and even spawned a few songs on itunes including "IMRAW" (which will probably be in the club here in Japan for the majority of 2011). I didn't know what else to do. I even considering giving it all up. But then i got two packages in the mail one from my mother and one from my father. Both of which had all the ingredients to make a great MC/producer. If they can agree on this then i feel like i should keep pursuing it. Everything comes in time. I must pray and keep working.
NOW! 2010 has been crazy. I went from thinking i was gonna die in Texas to now literally "kickin up my feet in a loft in Tokyo" ...i never thought i was gonna make it here even tho its been my dream forever. But here i am enjoying it and living it up. One memory that sticks out in my mind. Well its 2. The first right before "ChamplooIsBadForYou" dropped i sent a track to Essay Real. He sent it back in probably a day or so which was dope because i had to send the features off a month early and as usual a few people flaked on me...but he spit a dope verse and sent it back quick...im thinking that was the end of everything...i sent him a few beats as well but then one night i got a phone call i didn't recognize the number and it was him and ms. bonnie ...who wanted to call me personally and say they phucked with me...they liked what i was doing and if i needed anything just call them...i listened to this dude back when myspace was poppin...i remember me and ms proper talking about thats how we needed to be back then and that had to be like late '05 early '06...i dunno it was just coo he didn't have to do any of that but he did... iight the next was in VA which was crazy to say the least (Calvin know what i mean *smfh*) ...just the whole experience... chillin with the rebels my family all that... AND OF COURSE CHARLOTTE! which i plan to move...its too dope...ahhh i miss it...i still love Norfolk tho but its time for a change but uh back to the story...i was in the Trap (Dante Lewis' studio) most of my time in VA because thats where the music was...even lucked around and got Micah Money's tape which was real cool of that dude to let me be apart of that... (and arguably the best song on the tape) but me and Dante was having a convo about were i intended to go next with my music...and i told him...mind you this dude is already making money off music...produced for Curren$y and OuttaSight ...only does music for a living...but then he says...yea thats the route to go...i was like okay...well i must be doing something right if somebody who is already where i wanna be is telling me...you know? but thats what stuck out to me...getting that go ahead from people like yea keep going because phuck its hard out here...but thru it all everybody has been supportive which is all i ask...from my homies Kevin and Dejai (who got my tape to Big Sean) to Dee who always is there to at least point my hard headed ass in the right direction...thanks to everybody... i know 2011 will be bigger as i remake my sound release more music and keep doing what i love

i got you guys a rant for christmas...
(hush you niggas didn't get me a thing)
what a holiday to say the least...partying partying partying Tokyo style...even found the time to hand out some mixtapes in the process...my mom even got me the Jay-Z "Decoded" book...which is cool since one of my new years resolutions is to read more...and its dope to say the least...this morning i woke up with a name to my website...which will drop this time next year...and a whole scheme of things... (even tho i need somebody to draw up and design the site and the only person i know who is very talented at it i pissed off doing a twitter rant because i felt like one of her clients bit the art for my mixtape) im sure everything will come together...i already got a few songs but the hardest part is finding producers for this album...im looking for a dope ass soulful yet abstract sound that i can tell everyday stories over...which i am on the way to creating myself but i few other producers would make the process a tad easier but for the most part nobody wants to help...im paying for beats and i can't get anybody to send me a snippet...there are a few producers that would easily fit what im looking for but again they don't see the potential of what im trying to do...one could say how do you expect to build a buzz when you couldn't do it in Texas...now in Texas certain things happened around the time i actually started recording and putting out tapes which put a halt in operations but now im in Tokyo...one of the biggest cities in the world...im too focused to lose..
(long rant aside if you know any producers/website designers or artists tell them to get at me)

happy suck to all.
well...in light of rather good luck the bad comes as well...its all good tho...one thing about me i always at least try to see the silver lining in any cloud...from people stuntin and frontin on me...to looking like a dumbass at work...i keep looking forward...and hoping for the best...one reason tho is because the holidays are upon me once again...and even when you are away from home no matter how dope the place might be you miss home...its human nature...this is truly my first christmas away from family...even in TX i had my uncle and cousins...but in Japan...i don't have anyone (that i know of)...its all good tho...im sure my family will have a dope christmas provided i played santa clause this year which makes me feel awesome...now back to the stuntin and frontin...people out here are a new breed...well not really but still it sucks...musically everybody thinks they have what will get them on and poppin...most can't even put a song together...or count bars (which is fairly easy)...and refuse to get shown up by a black dude who uses words like awesome lol...even tho i make up mixtapes and hand em out every chance i get i can't help but get the feeling that i can't do this alone...i need some sort of support system...but im pretty sure if i can make fans in bubbaphuck tx i can't make some in Japan...but then again i've only been here for a month and have made a few connects that i know will come in handy...espically this female producer i met who replays any sample i give her *smfh* ...lets just say my beats will improve 30 fold...but for now i just gotta keep my eyes on the prize (sorry my peoples got me a book of cliches this year)

where have you been?
by now if you've been following this blog you should know what i means when the blogs slow up...well in this case its a lil different since its an album and not a mixtape...but either way the music is in full swing...im feeling real good about it as well...considering the fact for the last 2 mixtapes i sat there and reached out to producers/artists alike and for the most part got shitted on...i mean some of them were coo and will be featured on the album but when you got a dope tape and even tho they were featured on said tape they can't promo for you? they won't even listen? im done with the VA hip hop scene...some of them think they are on already and act like it...im just over it...i have a list of people i want on my album if they don't make it oh well...they're loss...im going to what made "Thats Awesome" so well...awesome...just keeping to myself and doing what i want...not trying to get so many features...on either the artist or production side...before i was scared of producing a whole project...but at this point i feel like i could...i even go as far as to say im sure i could mix/master it as well...even tho i will prolly let Dante Lewis handle those duties...this album will fall into place...i know it...in the mean time i will enjoy kicking my feet up in a loft in Tokyo...everybody keeps saying i've changed since i touched down here...i mean reallly...how would you feel if you actually reached your dream?

now this blog has been my baby for almost 2 years now...and for the most part i've posted what i've wanted until well about a year ago...when i had to only post things that wouldn't hurt feelings (gey)...but for any dude thats ever been in a relationship you have 50 million arguments about dumb shit all day last thing you wanna do is add more...so my girl does what the average girl does when they are interested in me and check my blog...look for shit that pertains to them bitch about it and utterly ignore anything else up here...regardless if its about my music or not...she would get mad and say oh your going to hurt peoples feelings...and after hearing the same thing 80 billion times i was just like phuck it and stopped (for the most part)...now fast forward she got her a video blog now (can't even lie i am going to invest in it...just because i have a feeling it will take off) ...which i posted the other day...AND NOW she is getting backlash as seen by her last facebook status...basically telling people she is going to say what she wants -_- ....needless to say my blog is going to go back to the way it was...putting what i feel at a certain time...and blogging it...im a human...regardless if i love somebody ...you're not going to like everybody everyday and thats real...if somebody says different then they're fake....
i just got my freedom of speech back.
(lets clean this muthafucka up as well...get a new look going)
