Good Day All.



First off congrats to my homie Chris for finding another gig. He was going through the black man blues until he received a phone call this morning.



Second- I got another show coming up here in Chicago at the Funky Buddha lounge. I'm geeked, Its going to be a stupendous event!! Its dope to see things jumping off for me musically, its been a long journey. I remember starting off on a Karaoke machine and a tape deck to now rocking with a live band, God has really blessed the kid and I can't wait to share the music with you guys very soon.

To all my Mothers

Kiss your mom today...she deserves it!!!!

I Dont Give a FASFA

So, I have developed a master plan to re-enter college. My first attempt was....lets just say financially unsuccessful. I filled out hours of paper work only to have the human resource department of my school never entered my information into the system. Therefore, I didn't exist economically which put my dorm usage to a halt. This whole fiasco lead to me relocating to Florida for almost a year to clear my mind. I spent the greater part of 2007 just working on music and really learning what it is that I want to do in life.
Knowing both of parents didn't finish college due to the birth of me gives me an obligation to become a success, in whatever path I choose. So, I have taken it upon myself to complete college with a degree that will not only benefit my finances and bring joy simultaneously. This is something that's been on my mind since I left High School...Standard testing puts such an emphasis on having an elaborate career but not happiness. Over the years I've observed the frustrations of the average adult in direct correlation with their careers. I watched my mother for years climb her way on the corporate ladder without a college degree all to support me. She would come home happy to see me, but have this hidden look of discontentment on her face. It would amaze me all the time how quick she would get a promotion in whatever field she was in...but still it wasn't what she wanted to do. I can't go through life that way and I refuse to fail captive to the wackness that is, blue collar, stiff neck, corporate America!!!

Now that my Lauryn Hill moment is out the way , I can get back to telling you my plan. I found a school that offers the degree that I want within two years. I'd have an Associates in the Recording Arts and a Bachelors in Music Business, not to mention job placement. I'm pretty set on this decision, cause I know if your doing what your passionate about in the long run it out weighs being rich in something you hate. I could be wrong but I don't require a Bently, a Miami loft, a Condo in Downtown Chicago, or the approval of my accomplishments from the mouths of others. Honestly, if I could drive a Scion XB, own a house, make beats, and tour occasionally I'll be one happy negro. So hopefully after this plan is completed my dream of self sufficient employment will come true.
Until then....
