if i were to have children i’d want them to be mentally, physically & emotionally rich. i’d want them to understand that money can buy them things they want & need but not to sell themselves short for a dollar bill. i’d give them perspective. teach them to be free as there’s no harm in that. children are curious, care free & fearless. they know this unfiltered happiness & we wish to have as adults but for whatever reason we don’t & that’s the nature of life but i’d teach my children to be themselves regardless of what i or anyone else may think. after all we can only teach another being so much.

growing up in the 90’s for me was the illest thing. the groups were just so dope & jodeci is indeed one of those groups that changed the game. talk to you was written by me & produced by ric&thadeus. listen & enjoy!

the next person i find myself in a relationship with will have to be an artist or at least a love for the many forms of art. that’s the only way it’s going to work without me feeling like i’m compromising.

i’m passionate about a lot of things. mainly people & the power we tend to have without knowing. what you do with that power is what makes you who you are - with that being said it’s not really power. it’s just about the way you use yourself & the way people respond. i’m really big on communication. it’s one of the forms that are important to me.

i’ve come to the conclusion that blurred lines is in my head for longer than i anticipated. i’m blaming the video. i watch that video far too much. more than i’m willing to admit & to be honest i watch it mainly for t.i.’s old man moves lol. oh & for that one model because she’s so gorgeous.

sidenote : sanaa lathan needs to visit me in my dreams. i’ve always loved how bad ass she is in films. she’s beautiful & her eyes just make me wanna gaze all night. ugh. my infatuation for her never left. it’s just been on hiatus.

i remember being thirteen and being so in love with the film love & basketball. i believe i had more than a slight infatuation for both sanaa lathan & omar epps separately. i literally would watch that movie about 3 times a day everyday for months. i have not been able to watch that movie in years. i’d probably cringe at how crazy i was at that age. my teen years were very awkward. i don’t even wanna remember lol. you made a fool of me by meshell ndegeocello was the soundtrack to my life back then. that was one of my go to films for sure.

social media is what you make it. some people have the best luck & some have no luck. with that being said it’s all about you & how you approach the situation. if you walk in it with many wishes & not enough dedication you may not get anything out of it but if you pace yourself & focus on the main reason for having it good things will eventually come of it. sometimes it’s best to join right in the beginning when nobody really knows how it’s going to be beneficial to them. everyone has an opportunity. just don’t beat yourself in the head over where the next is or what they are gaining from it because work has to be put into everything these days & i’m talking dedication. have a goal & reach it.

i’ve always been a flirt & probably will always be that. it’s healthy for me find a reason to acknowledge a strangers beauty, confidence, style or whatever they may have going for them. it doesn’t mean i want to get to know them, their life or have sex. it just means that in that very moment they’re appreciated. i have an appreciation for all not walks of life. i have no affectionate skills but most of the time i find something clever or witty to say & i can usually walk away from a situation feeling better about myself. sometimes you gotta flirt to make it work which is something i’m pretty good at doing.

i don’t have this huge ego. i don’t have this arrogance about me but i am pretty confident. that didn’t happen overnight. it took a great deal of time to find small parts of myself. that wasn’t easy & it still isn’t most of the time. people see me & see more than i see which to me is a good thing. it gives me perspective & an idea as to how i may appear to be strangers. to me i’m just myself. a struggling artist trying to survive the best way i can. some days are better than others & other days are shit. i’m no different than the next.

in my mind i have a bunch of cluttered ideas. things i wanna do, collect, see and blah blah blah. yet i can never form none of these visuals onto paper or in an actual savable form before it’s too late. i hate my brain. it turns on when it wants & shuts down before i can grasp the info i’m receiving. what’s life?

i’m sitting here trying to come up with ideas for a music video. i seriously want to put together some visuals for delight - listen if you haven’t & let me know if visuals are a good idea or not. thanks!

i am kinda sorta in love with kat dahlia. she is beautiful & her music is so damn raw. i have yet to listen anything else besides gangsta - but i’ll be listening later for sure. one thing about her is that she seems mad chill. i caught an interview & her vibe was so opposite of what others deliver. i dug that a lot. i swear that song has been embedded in my brain yo.

i’m truly content with this music that i’m going to be releasing. it makes me smile to know that i will be releasing a real body of work this time around. i’m not making excuses & i’m not going to doubt. the one issue that i have is for some reason the right side of gums - upper & lower have swelled up and it’s a real pain in the ass which means that by the time i wake up i’m not even going to be in the mood to record. i’m bout to down some pain pills & call it a morning. i’m kinda scared of this seeping pain i’m feeling.
