The Insanity
I have an urge to create a lot of music right now. My dilemma is A) Finding the time to do so & B) Trying to figure what I want to say.
Point A really isn’t that big a deal. I have the proper equipment at my disposal so outside of having this distraction that I’ll call a “day job” all it really involves is taking care of everything else in life to free up the time to do so… Ok so it seems big, but it’s not; I don’t have that much to do I think so A really boils down to B.
What the hell do I say. I rap about stuff I’ve seen or heard about directly so it’s hard to determine: who the hell is interested in me. I have to make myself interesting and reintroduce myself in new ways and new styles. I need to you invest your time (and money) in me, that’s all. Not like I want your soul or something. But I don’t think people understand that if you really care about what you do, you are more conscious and aware of what you say. I don’t have an image of a drug dealer, a gun-slinger, nor a dude with enough money to pop bottles and drive foreign cars. I probably could barely afford a Hyundai or a Kia. My goal isn’t to sell you a dream, it’s to paint you a picture. Sometimes, trying to determine what to put on the canvass is a daunting task. I’ve left many writings unrecorded, redone many recordings, and buried away many finished songs. Why?
Simple: I want you to believe what I’m telling you and feel what I felt when I was putting it together and harnessing those thoughts. To me, the best part of being an “artist” per-say, is the reaction of people to my work. It makes all the frustration of going through things, things not working out, and finding a way to express this to you in a few minutes all worth it. It drives me insane to know what I want to say and have to figure out a way to say it to you. I’m just glad you listen.
The Road Less Traveled EP is on it’s way. Thanks.
