This song was the set of lyrics that kick started the writing process 4 this album. It actually wasn’t even a song as much as it was a journal entry. It was my feelings about life at the time. I had started 2 recover from a very messy year of struggle. Themes that I talk about extensively…or I should say things that I would eventually talk about extensively. But writing from this place I was more optimistic…a feeling that would surprisingly diminish over the following years. But at this stage in life things were finally regaining its purity and beauty. I was working on an ambitious concept album that was coming 2gether nicely and I had my 1st child on the way…there was nowhere 2 go but up! It was exciting and scary at the same time but I was ready 2 embrace it. “Life as we know it, trying not 2 blow it theres not 2 many options 4 a lover slash poet…summed up my life as a whole. Pending fatherhood I knew I couldn’t fail anymore…I couldn’t take the ez route…my daughter deserved everything …we deserved it…and I was determined 2 get it. I didn’t have any other option…I could only fake it 4 so long and I was growing tired of pretending that my day job actually had a meaning other than providing a paycheck u know. Music was gonna b what paid my bills but also what soothed my soul…they always say it’s not working when u do something u loved and this…was the only thing I loved, so it was time 2 switch gears.

Outside of the typical microphone prowess, I've been known to play a mean guitar, as well as bass, piano & drums. Over the last year & a half i've done numerous local & regional performances slowly & surely building this peach fuzz buzz into maturity. I've played colleges, local bars, pubs & parking lots. I've written for, performed with or produced hip hop artists, country artists, once in the late nineties I wrote and played bass on a Death Metal Ep...I Am Music...I am hip hop...I am about live instrumentation... I'm about substance as much as swagger...My attitude is more Miles Davis than Lil Wayne...My style is more Outkast than T-Pain...I'm more about albums than singles...& i could care less what the trend of the day is...I am the Future!!!
