First and foremost, I would like to say thanks to all the people who inspired me to never give up on my dreams! Insert your name here: _____. I've spent countless years trying to convince A&R's, Producers, Record Labels, & tons off DJ's that I'm addicted to making music and I'm Hip-Hop 100%.
One day last December I woke up and I realized that I could do something better than just being an Artist/Producer. I've learned that over time I've evolved and matured into someone who sees the world completely different than I did when I started out 15 years ago. I remember when I used to enjoy just being at the studio writing and producing. Then, I became more interested in performing. After performing certain songs so many times as an artist you tend to get bored. Then, I began recording at a pace that was kind of insane for someone who worked damn near full-time and went to school. I used to sleep by the microphone!
Sometimes I feel like I've missed out on a lot of things in life just because I continue to dig away at what I believe is destined to be. I don't sleep half the time because I'm always thinking about my next move for my family, my neighborhood, and the culture itself needs help. I was blessed with so many talents that I would be wrong to God to give up because the right opportunity hasn't come yet. I can't help who I am. I thought I would of traveled this road at this point with a few more people but, I guess it's meant to be for me to carry the load. Most of the time all I find behind the boards is me 99% of time. Perfoming, it's me mostly me on stage alone......But you know what, I'm alright with that!
The funny thing is, it seems like you have to have a CD release party just to get a good crowd in Baltimore. I guess if that is what I have to do to bring the people out so be it! This is one of the toughest cities in America. If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere....Period! I have damn near 7 or 8 projects lined up and some people do not understand making mixtapes and albums ain't FREE. I may not have all the answers but, I read, I listen, and I grind. I associate myself with only people who inspire to aquire knowledge! From this day forth I will not be subject to any BS, stereotypes, or negativity. All of the let downs, dissatisfaction, and narrow thinking I've heard for so long helped me to turn the page on life.
I am proud to be the owner of my own label and I will no longer wait for someone to put me on and I hope you won't either...Don't worry I just put myself on and Baltimore I GOT YOU!!!
