Self Centered

When I think about it, its always been just me. I remember back in Burlington and the crew I came up with. As we got older and more experienced in our craft it became clear that I wanted to take a different lyrical path then they did.
Rap music is extremely influential and the suburban area I came from created alot of hood-wannabe gangsters. I always felt too many of these so called friends were creating that image rather then actually being a part of that environment. I chose to become an outcast rather then follow the beat of something I didn't believe in.

Fast forward to the present. I've worked with many artists to date and anyone I choose to work with I always believe in. I've never been nor will ever be a dick rider or catch some other rappers coat tails to boost my name and image. I guess you could say I'm a contradicting rapper. In an industry full of co-signing and crew hopping, its almost a must that you become excepted by a celebrity first. Its an exact example of what this games about. Its about making a brand, no different from any subliminal commercialization you are surrounded with everyday. I sometimes wish we could take rap back to the 80's again.

In conclusion. Its best to stay focused on your craft and stay in your own lane. I need to put my own money where my mouth is now and stop pussyfooting around the industry. I haven't got time for false promises and I respect those whom I've tried to work with but best of luck to them and all there ventures.

As for me, it doesn't matter where I am, I will always have my hand in the local hip hop scene.
You can bet on that.
