Ch Ch Ch Ch Changes


I was sitting here watching this TV show called The Lords Of Brooklyn"about a Hip Hop / Rock band and their struggles to achieve that next level of stardom. In a lot of ways their situation parallels my own. They have that underground notoriety but keep getting their heads bumped when trying to get to that next level. It made me sit down and revisit a few thoughts that had been swimming around in my head for a while. Now, while I'm not big on new years resolutions, I'm big on moving forward so I decided to try something different this year.

This year I've decided to go extra hard in terms of my career. All of the opportunities I used to turn down I will take and all of the doors that were once closed I intend to kick down. If one way of doing things do not work for you, you have to try another and I have finally reached the point where I can accept that. Being the true Pisces that I am, I'm not gonna do anything until I get good and ready and I am finally at the point where I am ready to accept my destiny. I can't avoid it any longer. Everything is pushing me in a direction and I can no longer avoid the inevitable.

The radio show is more cohesive than it has ever been and I am happy about that. We finally have a solid team that all contributes something that makes the show better. The Damented Mindz movie is coming together and now we have 28 skits posted on YouTube so we are getting there slowly but surely. The Gecko Brothers Album is pure fire and I am shocked because this was something that went from a mixtape to an full out album. It was just supposed to be a couple of cats from the block collaborating on a track or two and now its gotten real serious. I'm impressed with John O's lyric game and the fact he has made it really hard for cats to half step on this joint so I can't wait for everyone else to hear it. And the Priest album is gonna.. Mann, You just gotta hear it.

So It will be a good year. I'm happier than I have been in a loooong time and now I've got great people in my life that support what I do and have made it easy for me to take it to that next level. Its up to me to do it. I'm getting a camera and I'm gonna document the changes I go thru and post them on tha blog for all to see. Should be interesting to see. A lot of other things are in the works but I can't mention them yet. You will just have to stick around to see what happens. Keep checking back and I will keep you posted. Also feel free to write me back on these blogs I wanna get your feedback and see how it goes down.

With that being said, hope you have a happy and productive New Year as well
