Below is the tentative track listing for what I plan on as my only solo album. This doesn't represent the totality of what I've written over the past few years and a good deal of it still requires excessive fine-tuning lyrically. But for what it's worth, THIS is the listing for the record. This represents my past five years of life, the ups and downs before and following Katrina, atonement, the travels from semi-theist to decidedly atheist, married to bachelor, friendships made and lost, the drug abuse and binge drinking to taking a break from the chaos and simply appreciating the beauty of life, so on and so on. I even do some gospel singing (and yeah, I have a decent singing voice, really).

I only have two guest appearances for emcees: Caligula and MC Hype. Originally I had planned on more guests, but I feel these two artists best reflect my mutation, for good and ill. Look their music up on myspace and I think you'll understand why.

I'm also doing my own beats. Keeping it percussion heavy and something that evokes the late 80s, early 90s. Be warned: I'm NOT particularly adept at production. But I want this to be something that is completely my own (aside from the aforementioned guest appearances). So if you think this is garbage when it comes out, well, I'm the one to blame.

Just had to step away from the whole process for a minute, here and write about it, instead. Recording this with the attitude that this will be my only album. Yeah, I have collaborations in mind for the future, but far as what is just me...well...here it is. What do I want to show for my life if I were to die tomorrow?

Bam. Still can't sleep.
