Something I’d like to see make a comeback. 

the minute artists realize they CAN get back to the art form, drop mixtapes on their OWN, then put on great SHOWS and release the album themselves the game WILL CHANGE

Something I’d like to see make a comeback. 

This blog was initially designed to focus on the topic of music rather than myself, but I’m a writer, and once in a while I’m going to need an outlet. That time is now.

I haven’t posted anything in about a month. I can’t really say why; maybe it’s the fact that my time slips me by every day as I work two jobs, and still try to have a life aside from that. Maybe it’s just because I’ve been wrapped up in my thoughts, a little more than usual.

I’m the type of person who makes plans to be at ease. The thought of finding myself buried in stress that could’ve been avoided makes me uneasy. I’m also the type of person who likes to take on several projects at once at the expense of my personal time, sometimes without even realizing it. What can I say man… I hate having nothing to do.

I have a lot of big decisions to make as far as the next two years of my life are concerned. I’m not gonna go into detail but let’s just say I’m not even really sure what career I want to pursue anymore. All I know is that I have a tremendous passion for music, and an even bigger passion for change and influence on others. Any career that allows me to do both of those things should be something that I’ll love. What exactly that career is I don’t really know yet, but I’ve decided I need to get up off my ass and figure it out.

In J. Cole’s “Too Deep for the Intro” he states, “If they don’t’ know your dreams, then they can’t shoot ‘em down.” I disagree to a certain extent. I think people who care for you should know your dreams, because they won’t forget them. Once they run into an opportunity that can benefit you and your dream, they’ll be sure to help; but that’s if they care. For those who don’t, why should they know anything about you? Seriously, usually when others know all your business then they tend to use it as ammunition against you.

For those who don’t know, I write poetry in addition to nonfiction. I’m in the process of intertwining my poetry with music, because after all hip-hop (in its truest form) is poetry on a beat. Who knows where that will take me, but I’m willing to try everything I can in order to find my true passion in life. Honestly, I’m afraid of failure, but I’m even more afraid of wondering “What if…?”

Here’s me finding out “what if.”
