I want someone in United Kingdom to see it. Someone in United States. Someone in Paris. Someone who has never heard my name before to come across my work and think, βWho made this?β
I know what Iβm capable of.
Iβm at that point where I donβt want to keep creating quietly and hoping somebody discovers me.
I want to put myself out there, knock on doors, introduce my work to people who have never seen it before.
I want to build a name that exists beyond my immediate environment.
Not because I think Iβm better than everyone else.
But because I genuinely believe my work deserves the opportunity to be seen.

Nina Simone originally dreamed of becoming a concert pianist. She trained in classical music, studied at Juilliard, and auditioned for the Curtis Institute of Music.
She was rejected and went on to become one of the most singular artists in American music.

You gotta become rooted in something, too many people are merging with their environments, friends, etc without fully knowing themselves or even liking themselves.
I think once you start to become curious and taking steps to becoming better daily At some point youβll hit that point.

Just because you cannot afford someoneβs service does not mean itβs overpriced.
Her pocket on this was one of the dopest pockets ever. She was perfect in it. Flawless victory. To the point where I shouted it out on "Pardon Me" ("and slide like left eye on Donnell Jones shit..."). RIP to the great Left Eye

I felt emotional resuming this project, because this is where many evolved. (STREET)
The street has produced legends, champions and successful people. β€οΈ
Before my surgery in mid April, I took late Feb - mid March and wrote/recorded a full new album. This post-op recovery has been solely about that; recovering, but know that there's an album 100% completed and tucked on my hard drive waiting to drop in late summer/early fall ππ

βThe Messageβ
by The Furious Five (1982) is one of the most important songs in Hip Hop history. Thatβs not subjective, thatβs a fact. It literally helped shift how Rap songs would be recorded in terms of subject matter.

I recommend not being born

Y'all get a little too precious about/protective of your favorites.
A valid critique doesn't necessarily invalidate good art.
