Hey you guys. I've used one of my emotional rips "Saying Goodbye From Time" in this important announcement because I know if I recorded it by voice, it would be an hour-long recording just to prove a point.

I'm gonna be completely honest and say that I'm going absolutely nowhere with the material I post for you guys' entertainment. Very lately, my posts have not been very successful  ever since my 2-3 month absence. The most popular mashup has to be "The Song that We Beat to Death in Twoson", which is one of my favorite pieces I've done as of late, but that's it; not even that very mix has passed 2.5k yet, or caught the attention of more people than my follower count.

I'm grateful for the love that the few of you guys have been giving me, but it seems like it's just not enough, for not counting my Beyonce/Adventure Time "shitpost", NOTHING has even hit 2k plays, which is meaning one of two things: either my fans are busy or my material nowadays is just not worth listening to.

Even worse. I gained 14 followers in this month month alone. In a whole week, 11 OF THOSE 14 FOLLOWERS HAVE WENT AND GONE. It's bad enough that even when I post content daily now since I'm no longer busy and temporarily out of a job so I can work on my albums and such, I'M STILL IN THE 1800 FOLLOWER ZONE FROM NOVEMBER. And while I put so much dedication to what I do and what I love to do, other artist (no names or disrespect) that use no effort or more memes than mashups get the followers, get the recognition, get the love. There are other artists who take their stuff seriously including me, but minimal or no percentage of acclaim goes to them, but to the memes and shitposts full of WANOs, All Stars, Shooting Stars, and Wow Wows, oh yeah! Give them all medals!

I'm not bitching or implying that I need more recognition, for that would be pigheaded and selfish, two things I am not. I'm implying that I might not have it in me anymore if I literally go nowhere. Nowadays there are more followers leaving me than notifications popping up in my feed in a single day.

A lot of things are happening for me. I'm gonna turn 21 in a couple of weeks. I'm gonna be releasing a very personal album that I'm working on that my fans will hopefully like, it will be 5 years that I've been doing mashups when October hits. My Nintendolution will most likely be DONE before the year ends! But... what if that's not good enough? What if memes are the new mashups? I'm honestly not a memeful artist; I make my work personal and serious over 80% of the time. And it's just not good enough apparently at this moment of time.

I get that a big part of doing mashups is that only the artist, have the right to release your material, it's your right to know that your material is great if you believe it is. As corny as it may sound, it couldn't be more right. But another big part is the audience. And that's the most important thing to me, making people happy, being well-known for my craft for my art. Not having to share my material on Reddit to be a success. That's where songs like "Ashley's fresher than you." and "Skull Girls' For Real" come in. But lately I've been getting by, and that might get me to the decision that I might not make it to my fifth year.

I'm not asking for pity, sympathy or more followers and reposts and all that desperado needy shit. I just need some guidance. Should I keep on mashing, sell my everything that I've mashed and turn it into memes, or just quit altogether. I need... guidance. Tell me what you guys think I should do. Please this is serious...

Sorry if I broke your train of thought or your eyesight reading this long-ass announcement, but this is seriousness coming from it and I just want you all to know that I will always love my followers and mashup artist comrades, for they listen, love, and even critique my stuff to the fullest and I couldn't be more happier. Thank you all for everything and hopefully I come back mashing and swinging. Peace, love and soul.
