alright, don’t get me wrong; i love that i’m picky as fuck with my music and that it takes me a while to put anything out. it allows for a better final product and that’s always a good thing but this is ridiculous. this is the third time i’ve started this project from scratch. THE THIRD FUCKIN’ TIME. trust me, I plan on having this whole thing recorded this summer and hopefully out by the end of it (if not then early fall) but it’ll end up being quite a bit different from what i’d anticipated.

i frustrate my own damn self too much sometimes. the fact that my mixing/mastering skills will be receiving a huge boost this summer is a huge deal for me. it’ll allow me to record, mix & master tracks as soon as i think of them & thus, before i get tired of them.

(sigh), wish me luck.

the way i see it, there are those who make music to get fans (and everything else that comes with that) and those who make music for themselves and let fans find them.

i’m part of the latter.

as a producer, as a writer, as an artist i’ve grown exponentially over the past year. i’m extremely grateful for everyone who’s supported me from day one and also the newer fans/supporters. i can’t tell you exactly where i’ll end up but i can tell you all that if you stick around, you won’t regret it. i’m not saying this next year will be mine- in any way- no do i care if it is or not. all i know is that by this time next year, i will have gotten far better at every single aspect of my craft. all i ask is that you lend me your ear.

yo,

so “walk on by” has- (not including individual track downloads). this might not seem like much but so far, this is the most i’ve gotten and for that, i thank you.

& while i’m grateful for every single one of you that take the time to listen to my music; i want to tell all of those who support me, who share my music with their friends, their acquaintances and even their enemies; who listen to my snippets and give me feedback, good or bad; who help me push harder, further, to explore other, genres, other sounds…

THANK YOU MY NIGGAS, THANK YOU.
