Alright, so it’s been a minute since I updated this. I’ll start by saying this has been a good process so far. I’ve made it a point to keep some instrumentals on me and I’ve gotten back in the habit of rhyming anytime I get a chance. I in Jersey right now and had a good writing session today. I would say it was one of my most productive days in a few years. That could be the result of being sleep deprived for almost two days straight and then being in a sleep coma, that I actually got up and texted someone in response to what I was dreaming about and went back to sleep, without knowing. If there hadn’t been a puzzled response text waiting for me when I woke up, I still wouldn’t know. Strange but true. Anyway, back to the music.
I’ve got three different versions of my verse for “Go There”, my joint with manCHILD. I still gotta say how blessed I am to even have him on this song. It’s very humbling when someone you look up to as an artist in general, and specifically, a dope emcee who does this for a living, feels like it’s worth their effort to do a song with you. I also have a currently untitled song, we’ll call it “Untitled”, all but finished. I’m gonna let it sit for a minute and marinate then I’ll come back to it and see how it really sounds. I may post the lyrics on FB or right here and see what people think. I’ll try and record a scratch version soon, though I might need to wait until I’m back in NC. I’ve also finished my verse for another untitled song, we’ll call this one “Untitled 3”, which will feature D Blessed, and my brother, Nyce. This will only be the 4th time my brother and I have ever been on the same song, and the first time that we both have verses. It’s a good feeling to be at a point where I feel like I’m putting out the quality of music to to have someone of his caliber and experience on. I know he would have gotten on a joint years ago and he has always been supportive of me, but I felt the need to put in my time and develop as an emcee. He’s been doing this for as long as I can remember (at least 88 when I was only 8) and this is the first real opportunity I’ve had to make this happen. I’m excited about the song and my man Blessed is another dope emcee. We’ve been talking about doing a joint since the moment we met. Literally, within the first two minutes we met, we were already talking about music. More to come tomorrow but for now I must sleep. Not trynna repeat my sleep texting!
