Beat: Czartacus
Artist: Czarface

The very first track of the Monkey Mind mixtape is one for shits and giggles. People often refer to me as having a "blank face" in that I can be hard to read or show little emotion. Regardless, what better way to kick off this mixtape than with a little introduction to me.

Beat: PSA
Artist: Jay-Z

Day 2 and this one I share some thoughts on some of these new school rappers. I think I wrote this after someone showed me the XXL cover and then the XXL cyphers that followed. It was painful.

Beat: Books of War
Artist: Doom & RZA

This record talks about my early misconceptions of Hip Hop as a child. Thinking you had to be gangsta, or talk a certain way to be able to partake in the culture. As I got older I learnt that Hip Hop is a culture of expression and is open to anybody.

A track about appreciating the journey from the perspective of a creative person. Sometimes we strive for perfection so hard that it can drive us to misery. Understand that true value and happiness is in the moment. Embrace it.

Beat: Refuse To Lose
Artist: Necro

Today's track is a real story about my pre-teen daughter who was approached by a 15 year old boy asking for nude pics. The real essence of the story is how my girl stood her ground and said no, then proceeded to report him and have him expelled from school. I'm so proud of the way she handled the situation and kept a level head. Acted like the Queen that she is.

You can spend your whole life listening to waht other people think you should do, or you can do it your way. I don't give a damn what you think about me. I know what needs to be done and you can be sure that I'm going to do all things necessary to achieve it.

I'm asking whether you support the Monkey Mind Mixtape, but I'm asking if you support the mindset? Do you support yourself? Do you back yourself? Fuck what anybody else thinks. Just go out and get yours.

Beat: Beauty of a Day
Artist: Apollo Brown

I had a very unhealthy relationship with money. I truly didn't respect it.

Having more money won't solve the problem if your mentality about it in the first place is shit.
