I`m Goin` Goin`, Back Back Back....

Lol most likely nah I`m not. But word. I ain`t lived in Boston for like 14 years now. But EVERY time I go back. It still feels like home. Why the fuck is that? lol. Bein` out there just gives me a dope vibe that I don`t get anywhere else. It just feels like "this is where I should be". Corny as that might sound. *does the Hi Hater wave*.

But on some other shit. The plan is to move to New York in about a year. Me and my dude Ha` Rizon had a talk a few weeks back and he convinced me to make that shit happen. Bein` out here ain`t doin` me no good. I need somethin` new and different. And New York sounds like a good idea all things considered. I love the city life. And NY is "the city that never sleeps". How can I go wrong?

Had a talk with my boy Marshall a little bit ago. Shit kinda gave me faith that he might try to get back down with the label. We`ll see if that ends up happenin`. I personally think that nigga needs to come back home. It`s just a matter of other niggas thinkin` the same shit.

But that`s it. It`s a wrap. I`m finito. Ima finish this cup of Vodka I got in front of me. Maybe pour me another one after it`s done. Until the next time fuckers...

So, like, ummmm.....

What do you do now? Things don`t go accordin` to plan. So what you well wishin` ass muh fucka. Shit happens. You gotta learn to deal with it (note to self). Word. I agree, but shit is madddd wack sauce! lol. But oh well. There`s only so much you can do until the cards are laid out on the table, if that makes sense. After that. You gotta just hope you got the better hand. If not. Take your loss like a man and move on to the next game. But games get tirin`. So what are you supposed to do now? (question to self) Ummm. Idk. Just go with the flow I guess. Let the pieces fall in place. And try to figure out the outcome at least a few steps ahead of the finale. I don`t like them 2 hour premiere/endin` shits. Unless we talkin` liquor. If liquor`s involved then fuck it, curtains. Drum roll. Round of applause, because the anxiety has been buildin` up for a while. If no liquor`s involved. Anybody wanna buy my ticket? *cough* I`m sick, and I don`t think I can make it to the show. Matter a fact. You can have my ticket for free.

Blah. That shit made sense to me. Specially the way I`m feelin` right now. Some of you might be able to get the jist of what I`m gettin` at. Some of you won`t. But I`m goin` to bed. Until next time...

Make Music... Don`t Force It...

Word. I learned that the hard way over the years. Best way to get back in your groove is just drop whatever you`re stuck on and move onto somethin` else. If the song you were workin` on before is meant to be, it`ll come back to you. If not. Fuck it. Just write write write write. And have fun. Don`t take shit too serious. I was doin` this for a while. Thinkin` "oh, I don`t think people will feel my shit unless I`m doin` this or that." Fuck it. Just be yourself. Make music for you, then music for "them" will come. I been writin` A LOT lately. Haven`t really been in the studio. But I got a lot of shit ready to be laid down. Got a few projects that I`m tryna get crackin` soon. One is gonna be a free mixtape over all industry/other artist`s beats. The writin` process for that is about half way done. Then after that I wanna drop an E.P. Somethin` like 7-10 tracks. Get the feel of puttin` an album together before I start workin` on recordin` A Reason For Everything. I think that`s the title Ima stick with for my first full length solo album That might end up changin` but we`ll see. I still needa work on gettin` on a few tracks for T.C.F.`s upcomin` project. Been talkin` to the other 2 Life Sentence members about puttin` out a project after like 4 years lol. We`ll see what happens. But let`s just say I might seem like I`m asleep right now. But there`s a lotta behind the scenes arrangin` and discussin` that`s goin` on right now. I`ll fill y`all in with the updates as they happen.

A Reason For Everything.

Rock The Bells

With events like Rock The Bells gettin` put together, it`s safe to say Hip Hop won`t die anytime soon. My 3rd year goin` in a row. And I gotta say that it was the best one so far. The fun started after watchin` Mickey Factz set. He straight killed it. I was a fan of dude before seein` him. But him live is crazy. Walkin` around peepin` all the tents and gettin` to talk to all the muh fucka`s in them in between sets is cool. $9 for a beer is NOT cool lol. $4 for a 16 oz bottle of water. Also NOT cool. But fuck it. Termanology was there kickin` it. Dope to see other local artists there. But I didn`t go as an artist this year. Well, I rocked my Backwards Productions shirt. But I didn`t try pushin` any cd`s or nothin`. Just wanted to have fun and enjoy all the rapper`s sets. The best set hands down was Nas and Damian Marley. They straight rocked the stage for about an hour and a half. Definitely got a nigga in a trance. Nas performin` One Mic is definitely a must see. Damian Marley performin` ANYTHIN` is definitely a must see. Nas AND Damian Marley on stage together performin` Road To Zion and songs off of the album they doin` together. Another MUST SEE. But enough about them. My second favorite set goes to Common. The energy that dude has is unbelievable. He definitely rocked the stage. Had a live band with him too. Shit was dopeeeeeeeeeeeee. The Roots also did they thing. My first time seein` them live. Definitely wouldn`t mind seein` any of the people I`ve already mentioned again. Besides them. The other set I was hyped about seein` was Slaughterhouse. And I was upset after the end of they set, because I wanted to see them keep rockin` the stage lol. They definitely got dope chemistry live. And to see 4 of the dopest rappers out right now. Live, at the same time. Together. Can`t go wrong. Evidence and Alchemist was dope. BUCKSHOT & KRS ONE! WHAT?!?!?!?! They was crazy. Tech N9ne`s set was DOPE. Him, Krizz and Kalhoun just went up on stage and had fun. That`s another set I was hyped about. Then chillin` at the tent afterwards talkin` to them, they mad cool. I wanna see them rock at a smaller venue. Reflection Eternal. Pete Rock. Big Boi. Raekwon. Slum Village. To name some others that were there. How could you go wrong showin` up for the day? Hip Hop is alive and well people. Already lookin` forward to next year. Hopefully I get to peep the show in New York though.

The Best Things In Life Are Free.....

Been a while since I could do this little blog thing. And hasn`t much happened since the last time lol. I`m on the phone with a short person right now while I`m typin` this, so bare with me. How y`all been? I been aight. Can`t complain about much. Been drinkin` less. But Ima start makin` up for that soon. Believe me lol. On another tip. I been startin` to get lonely livin` this single life lol. I was lovin` it for a while. Maybe it`s cuz I been sober though lol. So when I start drinkin` on the regular again I`ll be good. We`ll find out either way. Haven`t been in the studio for a while. Been writin` A LOT of shit though. So when I get back in the studio I`m gonna have MADDDD shit to lay down. I don`t even know what else to type right now. So Ima end it short lol. But word @ the title of this blog. HOLLA!
