Day Late (what else is new lol)... That's part of the challenge of doing this shxt solo dolo..
But I realized something late last night that I had to take a minute to post about.
5 Years Ago (yesterday) I released "Guest". Many of you may know the back story to that song already but here's what a lot of ppl probably don't know. That was the FIRST music video I ever edited. My homie Izzy said he could film it and he knew a friend that could line up the haunted house and some ppl to come out as long as I didn't mind editing it. I said "send it! I'll figure the shit out!!!" I stayed up for almost 2 days straight editing this and then uploaded it having ZERO idea of what a "good post time" was or ANY of the "YouTube do's or don'ts"... I just hit POST. And then. I hit the floor. And passed tf out... when I woke up... Guest was trendingš¤Æ
No Google ads. No Label. Just a determined mf who KNEW in his gut that if I kept pressing long enough the "stars would line up eventually".... And on December 16th, 2019. They did. So thank you Izzy. Thank you Alan for the plug. Thank you for everyone who pulled up and froze your balls (or boobs) off in December in Illinois. Thank you Eric for showing me how to use the "cut" tool on whatever program I edited this shit on. And last but not least. THANK YOU. YOU. YOU who not only watched THIS song and made it become what it's become! But then stuck around long enough to STILL be here 5 years later thru all the growing pains to read this. (Sorry for the novel, almost done). Last thing I HAVE to say is to anyone out there who has a dream but ain't "there" yet. Let this post be motivation that dreams come true. I had 672 subscribers when I posted this video that I edited by myself with no more knowledge then how to cut the videos. Literally that's it. I didn't even know how to upload the shit to YouTube! I am 100% the example of if I can do it, YOU can do it!! As long as you have the ONE KEY INGREDIENT... HEART. If YOU don't have heart, if you don't believe in yourself, just save yourself the time and pain (AND MONEY) and give up now cause I PROMISE you MOST people WON'T believe in you until it becomes unpopular for them NOT to.... Don't sweat them tho. Let em play their part, why lose and rob the haters their purpose in life, right? And to those who HAVE SHOWN LOVE, know this.... I haven't even scratched the surface of doing the best I can do in pretty much EVERY area of this music career shit, and I PROMISE I will always strive to be better in ALL areas, but the NUMBER ONE area I WILL do a better job of in the NEXT 5 YEARS is enjoying the ride TOGETHER WITH Y'ALL!!!!! More on that soon. For now, I just wanted to take this moment to celebrate how far WE already came in the FIRST 5 years. Love y'allšļø #ToldYaIAin'tNoFuckingGuest š«³š¤

This oneās pretty important. Iām numb so I probably wonāt say this how I want to but Iām gonna try. This clock belonged to my grandparents āNoni & Papaā. Tuesday I got a call Nonie was in hospice. I left first thing Wednesday morning to see her. When I got there I was shocked by finding out Papa was also there. I didnāt even know he was sick. 3 wks ago he was walking by himself to church. Friday afternoon I held his hand while he took his last breathā¦
Nonie wasnāt good either but was stable so I returned to Nashville yesterday for a show I was booked for. 30 mins from the venue I got the call that she passed tooā¦
Iām numb right now if Iām being completely honest. But I posted this clock because I wanted to use it to hopefully help someone with it.
Life is short and time moves fast. REALLY fast. Like this clock says sometimes family will eat together & other times family will fight. Thatās life. What matters in the end is that no matter what, you do it together. Like Nonie & Papa did, right up until their last breathes. I love you both so much and miss you already. Youāre at peace now and finally reunited with your son (my father). Not sure how much āfightingā youāll be allowed up there but Iām sure the foods goodš Save me a seat at the table. Iāll see you again when itās my time to go home. Til then I pray this clock is a reminder to spend my time here WITH the people who matter most & DOING the things that matter mostšļøšļø And I pray this post is a reminder to whoever reads this to do the sameš

PLEASE READšļø Nas āThe Messageā. The 2nd song of his 2nd album. I remember whose car I was in when I first heard that song. And THAT VERY MOMENT is when I said āIām going to be a rapper.ā⦠I was 15 years old. Lord knows if I had any idea how long of a road I had ahead of me I might not have been so confident about that lol⦠But nothing worth doing comes easy. And thatās what I genuinely strive to do. Give you something WORTH YOUR TIME. Something thatās TIMELESS. Something that gives LIFE. Not just music. MUSIC WITH A MESSAGE. Itās crazy, I guess āIt Was Writtenāā¦.IYKYK. With President Trump on his way back into office, itās a relief to know our leader will put AMERICA FIRST and it inspired me to drop a NEW VIDEO entitled that. PLEASE go watch and let me know your thoughts about the MESSAGE of the song. God Bless yāallš

āJesus didnāt voteā. Duh⦠Heās the King of kings. Why would He have voted? Sidenote - Jews didnāt get to vote under Roman occupation anyway so thatās a dumb point from the jump. Jesus & the Bible DO say that we should protect the least of these and without question the unborn absolutely qualify as the least of these. I understand NEITHER candidate is perfect. News flash NEITHER ARE YOU. But ONE candidate had a FREE baby deleting bus outside her convention and ONE didnāt. The one that didnāt ALSO wants to protect our border to AGAIN protect the least of these. The choice is clear. And the choice not to is a cowardice choice. Jesus is King. Trump is President.

Every once in a while I can feel a stirring in my soul. I donāt know how else to explain it than that way. Itās my internal way of processing life and the world around me and it always results in the same thing, writing a song that is SO much bigger than āa songā. I just dropped one of those songs and the video is on my channel now. Itās called āOne Kingā. Please go watch it and comment as much as you possibly can to help the MESSAGE be heard! Love yāallšÆ

NEW MUSIC DROPPING TOMORROW. I heard that 30-40 million āChristiansā will not be voting this election⦠Not sure whatās more cowardice; the fact that by not voting youāre SPITTING on the graves of the fallen soldiers who died for your right to voteā¦orā¦the fact that by not voting youāre LETTING our nation continue to head further and further into an ungodly future for our children without so much as even lifting a finger (LITERALLY). So⦠I repeat, NEW MUSIC DROPPING TOMORROW. #OneKing
