Kreatev - G Wagon 1997

If there’s anything that I’ve learned this year, it’s this:

Don’t force it.

Forcing “it” to work (whether opportunities, ideas, relationships, etc) requires so much more energy.

For me, this looked like getting out of my own way in my creative process, not overthinking any of the ideas that I have, and letting God guide me from season to season - project to project.

Letting go of that control over what I think the outcome should be over my art was the best decision I’ve ever made.

I believe this is what it means to Go Where You’re Led - to be truly open to whatever way the currents are bringing you toward, and embracing that fully - even if it’s uncomfortable and unfamiliar.

I hope you enjoy!

Created at the tail end of my chapter in Cali when I lost my girl, job & apartment, (2013)  Shout to everyone who let me couch surf,  Matt E J, Tre Jinkin's, Sunjet,  sleepyeyes, Prajnuh, etc..  I  Flew back home to Tampa after being in Los Angles for 5 years only to be met by jealousy from people that stood still in life, My man Sam Sleezy invited me to visit in NY,  he spent months trying to motivate me to record new raps, but all i wanna to do was make beats hahah,   I recorded a few tracks that Apathy gave me (still unreleased) as well as my track for the SleezbagMekalekTape,  meanwhile hiding outside alone in his hidden forest backyard I was making beats,  then my pops (who i had not spoken with in over a decade) invited to me visit him for the weekend in upstate NY,  so i accepted,  When I arrived I was suprised to find out my pops was the caretaker of one of the illest nature preserves in upstate NY on the top of the swawungunk ridge moutains,,  My back and front yard, had ice caves, waterfalls,  forests and scenery that looked like it came from tombraider meets lord of the rings,  ontop of that, my pops knoweldge and collection of music is next level,  so I spent a year alone, building with him, inspired by this sacred mountain, creating music all day and night long,  in the attic, in the basement, near the waterfall, everywhere I occupied.   During this time,  I rejected and pulled myself out of any beat collective and just wanted to focus on art without any politics period, I rejected what society had programmed into me, and became one with what exists on the plane that hasn't been touched or influenced by man made hands.    I released Chill Gawd, Chill (120minute cassette)  that was best seller on bandcamp both times it was released.  I also gave birth to my improv jazz alias @son-of-ziggy on that mountain,    And I also began Traversal on that mountain....     

TheUpRoot was supposed drop after Chill Gawd, Chill and Before Traversal,    and I actually ended up pulling songs from The Uproot to put on Chill, Gawd and Traversal because it was too long,.  Then my computer crashed, and i lost all the original sessions for this unfinished album, so i was stuck with demo tracks i bounced out.  so i sat,  and i sat,  and i've been sitting on this piece of my history because well.... AnalysisParalysis hahah.          knowing what you know,   Please let me know what you think.   I will post a link to the TRAVERSAL (cassette version) for anyone that wants to hear both albums together as they were meant to be....      Chill Gawd Chill was effortless, fun and comfortable,  The Uproot was losing everything, breaking down, and building up again leveled up,    and Traversal was my summary of the Journey thus far, and my way of sharing all the deep, lessons I learned on the way.
