This past Thursday (2/2/2012...which is also my birthday) I released a project I call "Week 7". The title might be a little weird so I'll explain what it means. My career and life has been insane and backwards since the beginning. I went from a kid who loved making music to being behind the scenes at 18, seeing all the smoke and mirrors to then putting music on the backseat while I lived what you can call "the street life". That whole process made me grow up really fast.
That process also made me really cold and distant - I watched people go from being hot to not and watched a lot of dreams get crushed. I also watched a lot of underdogs win and learned the politics of the music BUSINESS really young. I went through depressions and severe trust issues because of my pursuit of success. Which I thought I was pursuing fiercely but I was really a distracted misguided teenager... just like everyone else. When you're talented though- your loved ones put alot of stress and pressure on you. Wasted talent is the worst shit in the world. I always been very in tune with who I am and what I wanted to do with my life.
Once music became a big part of my life- I decided if I’m gonna do bad I might as well use it to push my music as a way out. That brought the "steet life" to a different level. Once I started seeing money I kind of started looking at music like a past time almost for a while but the pressure was full time. I saw the way the streets suck people dry and almost have a unspoken debt that grows the more money you get from it. I felt like the day would come when I would have to pay that debt so I refocused. During that time of refocusing I lost friends and saw people fall victim to the game.
All that shit was so heavy that now I feel like the cold part of my life is over. I appreciate this talent God has given me and I will not spit in his face by letting it go to waste. Numbers have and always been very important to me so being that this is the age of Aquarius and all the prophecies attached that..I decided to release a project on my birth date to immerse myself in the energy surrounding this crazy period in human history. All the revolutions and the weird shit going on...this is a good time to let go of all your hang ups. My birthday happens to land on ground hog day when a shadow ceremoniously determines if there are going to be six more weeks of winter. I feel I lived through those cold six weeks and now this is my 7th.
All the numbers add up 2+2+1+2= ...yea you guessed it..7. 14 tracks divided by 2..which is how many projects I've released in the past year...equal ..you get it but I just wanted all the energy I can gather behind me releasing this project. Life is all about numbers...everything boils down to numbers. The reason I pay attention to energy so much is because I believe thats all we are...energy powering a computer which is our bodies.
I want my music and my energy to be immortal so I start now from week 7. I hope you enjoy my pain...lol
