"Some days I feel cool, some days I feel eenh."
- Reintroduction
Over the last 17 months my journey has been like no other. I set out to create my masterpiece, faced the scariest moments of my life, lost a close friend of mine for over 10 years and lost some relatives too. Not by death but choice. I lived my dream and created songs with artists I grew up listening to. But most importantly I found myself as an artist.
My music tends to be a reflection of me…of my mind state. When I set out to create this album I made a promise to myself. I would create as much material as needed, until I could fill up an entire disc with nothing but my favorite songs.
I walked out of the studio with: The Underground Artist. 21 songs with a running time of 79 minutes and 56 seconds. As much as I have done on my own, I couldn't have without their support. Who is they…they are the following:
My family for all their love and support, mom you are the best. Thank you for raising me the way you did. I will bring the change.
Battle Me – Thank you so much brother. This album would not be the same without you. You are the future of this business.
Pappa Artwork – Thanks dude! You know I owe you so much. All your help is appreciated and will not be forgotten. The best PERIOD get at him folks: PappaArtwork.com
Young Noble and The Outlawz, Thanks for all the advice and guidance. Show and Tell is a very special song to me!
