I'm done. Finished. The Hip-hop I know does not exist anymore and I refuse to dress fruity, have a Mohawk, use auto-tunes and act like I'm gay or everybody else to get people to listen to my songs and appreciate what I have to offer. Too bad for both me and hip-hop. I had a lot to offer.

Then you have the people who say "Then change it then". Ain't that easy when the record label executives have a hold on both distribution and radio. They bribe all the program directors with money, prizes, and advanced interviews and they own all the distribution companies (People who put your records into stores). All the indies are on their way out (Out of business). Most importantly, lack of money to get your stuff out there... You need a minimum of $100,000.00 for marketing and promotion just to take off in your region.

I tried hard to work with artists from my area. Started up groups and even tried to work with a team of producers. None of these avenues worked out. I'll come out of retirement if i hit the lottery or get hit up with some financial miracle. Until then? Good-Bye.

Left some beats for people to enjoy on my profile. Rest In peace Hip-Hop.

Farewell,
