Food for Thought...


“If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.”

- Isaac Newton quotes (English Mathematician and Physicist, "father of the modern science", 1642-1727)

I feel awesomely small today.

Sample Lyrics from "What's Next"


My ex girl tell everybody that I’m a bastard
She, still Jimmy Jam to my Terry, Got these Tracks Mastered
I seek TIME-less-ness in all my sessions
Don’t got enough fingers on me for me to count my blessings
But got one finger on me for me to deal with stresses
Say fuck it all, don’t worry bout it, and stay the freshest!
What's next, let me paint a picture
This light-skinned nigga savin' the world thru scribblin' scriptures
Draw on my life experience
So you can save your stricture
And with every word uttered, my buzz is getting bigger!

Road to Redemption Pt. 2


This ROAD TO REDEMPTION is full of valleys and peaks... today has been more valley than peak. My man just hit me with like 40 beats (shout out to the Turk behind the lens!)... my other man just informed me we got like 12 hours in the studio this weekend... damn. Word to something "other."



I was in Rendezvous today and read something crazy about "inevitable change" - and thought, "fuck income, I'm trying to be ready for when the end come."

Road to Redemption Pt. 1


So it's been a crazy process...Getting here. Here is somewhere between relapsing and REDEMPTION. I find myself surrounded by some of the "MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE" in the business... I feel a little reluctant though... but I'm aware of what's needed... So I'm here. HE-Art in hand. We just finished filming "The Impasse" this last week with DBHE and Shear Genius Productions. Derya San, Amanda England, David Burns, Herman Esau, etc... Great team of people. Spent the latter part of the week with Leila Steinberg (who needs no introduction), and Skim (an amazing artist working out of LA right now). Two amazing people who are nurturing key parts of my soul... I figure if I can master my heart, maybe I can be somebody. Shout out to Chris Cuben!
