The Next One

Lately it's been good day, bad day. For me, and my best friend.

Sometimes it's tough as fuck to remember that seasons are changing, and we just have to let ourselves move one day at a time. Although I've heard it 10 million times, I'd like to thank Mtulazaji of the Freestyle Fellowship for that piece of wisdom, of which he has hundreds of millions.

So I don't know if I can run y'all another ten, but here's a couple.

1. The reason I started this post, was to thank the artists with some weight and status who will still reach out to the up and comers like myself. Arts & Crafts as a record label is how things should be in the music industry, at least as far as how they've dealt with me. They get back to you promptly, respectfully, and they create and appreciate art. And that's what they are about. No wonder so many amazing artists get down with them.

Artists like Sinden and companies like Jeepney that will reach out and help you out when they can. It's beyond dope. Hookup kings. Can't thank them enough.

Of course, conversely, there's people who don't wanna stay grassroots and won't even consider it. People who race to say no. And only tell you why when you keep buggin them. I didn't start this blog to talk shit or be negative, so I won't name names. But keep discouraging people, see how that works out in the long run.

2. Right now, I'm jamming to the Flaming Lips-Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots. It makes me wanna skip school and work and find a field of daisies to skip through. Get this album yo! You NEED it!

3. My cousin is a marine. He's tough as nails and he's had the hardest times imaginable lately. And this is his Facebook status:

"Standing duty in chucks, just when I thought shit couldn't any gayer, and for some reason, I'm craving a mcgriddle... The mutha fuckin syrup nugget."

Trooper to the fullest. Much respect to that young gentleman.

4. My plans for forthcoming art lately are gonna be pretty close to the chest. But there's gonna be more musicians, more inspirations, way more colours and shapes, and way more fun. This is what I wanna do with my life, so those who support and encourage, I could never explain how much that means to me. Love you.

5. Laura. Do you know this girl? She is a fuckin ass kicker. Know yourself lucky to be around such an entity of greatness and encouragement. If there's a better girlfriend, bestfriend, sister, daughter, and everything else, the world will likely explode. Laura is proof that there is good in this world, no...great, no...exquisite beauty, inside and out.

She's had some tough days lately, and I hope she knows that I've got her back, cause she's got mine. The look in her eyes when I create something new makes it worth doing. Let's be real, everyone else appreciating means the world, but this girl means the universe and the galaxy and at least five or six neighboring galaxies on top of that.

I encourage you to befriend this exceptional force of awesome, you'll be better than you were before. Just look at me.

Thank you Laura. Not a matter of hours goes by that I'm not thankful for you. Head up, we got this. We make the dopest team and I intend to keep it that way.

6. I just broke every rule of writing for web I've ever learned. Tough shit.

7. Have you heard of Youtube? That shit is fuckin hilarious.

8. This time 2012 I will be at SXSW and you will know my name.

9. I had a bad day yesterday, I'm gonna try not to make a habit of it.

10. The weather's nice. Let's go outside. It's all love.

11. Oh, and she ALWAYS looks good.


Braaap! Look what she made me do, look what I made for you!
