Well my peoples..We are almost there. The project is coming along and should be finished up by the end of the month. Its been a lot of hard work trying to get the sounds to match the vibe of the album but its all coming together. With the likes of JD Riggz, InfCasso, Rellah and production by Vansbeats from Germany, the feel of the project is that of Soul searching demons. For example..The project opens up with a track titled "On My Way", where im stating facts that i am determined to be successful in any and all that i do. With lines like "2003 the begining to a new era/my fitted cap didnt fit it had to many errors". Indicated that I had to make a change to become who I am today.Change is part of life if you want to make something of ya life, that is. Once a knuckle headed kid who felt that the streets was a means for fast money ,which it is but its not all that its cracked up to be..U make a dollar double but at the end of the day, unless you making enough to really save something, its not really worth the risk that comes with it. Think about this. Every rap song you hear has something to do with Hustling drugs, or being quote on quote gangsta. im not the type of dude to follow anybody's footprints. That wont get me anywhere. At least not in my eyes. I figured that once i became a father, a childs rolemodel, it was time to change for the better. Show them a different path than whats displayed on television or on the radio. With other lines like, "All the critics said my flow was to basic/and all this real rap shyt is never gonna make it". Well Im authentic, I was never in to fake shyt/And aint changing , i will never get a face lift" begins to draw out the picture that although you may not have it all , you still have dignity. Self pride to not change or follow suite...So the album has a great feel. "That Good dude music". I just released the first video off of this project titled "The Breakthru" directed again by my dude Mike Dispenza. We took it back to the roots, the essense of hiphop. We shot it in Rochester's Underground Subway where its flooded with Graffiti and broken down walls, so we could get that real grimey feel. Also took shots around the westside of the city. So far, the video has recieved a lot of positive feedback. People have said that the words are so positive that they wouldnt ever think this would be heard by the masses, since all that is displayed is negative bullshyt,Money,cars, jewelry and all that nonsense.But the message in the song is exactly what i mentioned previously. "Change"...Here is a link to the video. ... But for now, its back to work. Gotta put the finishing touches on it so that you can get the full cause and affect that reflects change... stay tuned
