Shady Records Week - 1/19/22 CONWAY THE MACHINE [Part 3: Get In The Game]

The year was 2005 my cousin was listening to EM on his portable CD player before the iPod was first invented.  he placed the ear phone upon my young brain, as a young 8 year old listening a couple of his tracks behind my parents back. fast-forward a couple of years later when I could actually get to  know some of the content I started rapping along to one of his songs from curtain call. lose yourself  made me feel inspired incredible all of the positive feelings.
At aged 14 I would lose my other Nan, experiencing even more loss one minute someone you love is there and the next there gone its hard but we keep there memories alive. 
we Keep moving forward.
 I started writing my first lyrics It was more like journaling as to actually rhyming as I was just writing stuff down I had to get off my chest. 
My first ever song came from a childhood first sort of girlfriend as we both lived some distance apart. Her father would see her twice a week so I would get to see her right up until she had to brake up with me because her father was moving so our friendship had to end.  
At aged 16 that all changed when my friends brother  on my college bus and started showing everyone on our collage bus his Rap songs "I thought it was Crap" but who was I to judge I remember thinking. A few weeks went by where he would keep coming up to me with new songs every day. in the end he became my greatest friend.  I did learn a bit from him and that was to never give up because the roles reversed  as I was to write and approach him with my songs I remember him saying they where shit go back and write it again. this happened for at least a year. It made me more critical of myself and gave me a work etic I needed.

17 that time there were other emcee's from Newport and Cardiff that I heard of. I have always been in the background sticking a few tracks up on Facebook then ripping them back down again   
but I feel like I have reached a point where I am actually really happy with the tracks I am making these days when I look back from when I first st
Then Christmas Day 2022 happened and changed me and my family for life.. 

29 The crash happened I was reborn I came out of hospital With my talant being boosted to new high's 
 
you will hear how the impact of the accident has changed me and my little family. I guess 136mph head on collision would do that..  

Christmas day I received the gift of life the day I was reborn the day I came back to life and changed as an emcee I would say it was the day Apollo Blue was truly born. 

Now I am going to make it. Thank you for all being on this journey with me.

I'm 44 years old male, who fixes computers for a living and I have three boys who mean the world to me. I love Rap, but I also listen to other genre
