Before I go to bed tonight I wanna share something with you...I came across a mixtape just yesterday that sparked an interest for me...I visit 2dopeboyz.com everyday and download mixtapes just to listen to new tunes and hopefully I can come across someone really dope...well I did...
I downloaded an ep call The Audition by Shawn Chrystopher and its truely amazing music very different than what I expected...it was crazy dope very relatable and his music is ill! So I came home today and started watching his videos and finding more about him...bought his debut album off itunes and its official I'm a fan! This guys music is so honest and you can tell its not about money or fame but make great music that he wants to relate and reach people...
In an interview he also said something crazy when he said he wasn't gonna try and flood the market with material but her wanted to people to sit on his projects and associate him with them...and that's so true! Every show I try and do new music and always wanna flood the market but my music is so much deeper than that...what I'm about to say is gonna offend some people but in no way is this ment to start a "beef"...artist like lil wayne can flood the internet and "streets" with material because its bland, it has no depth there just punchlines and random rants over beats, its not something that can or will stay in your mind or touch your spirit...
My music and other artists that are making music real songs with the depth to reach your inner being shouldn't keep over loading you... We should truely release single concept driven projects and let you soak it in get it enjoy it love it and then support it...as crazy as it sounds this artist has really inspired me and made me rethink what I wanna do this year...at a time when I was trying to make 2 albums and countless mixtapes this summer I need to slow down and do me...build something powerful that can build a fan base from the ground up and this show next friday (that came so fast!) Is my start...my chance to show the world (at least the people in attendance) that jon farris is an artist and someone that deserves your ears...I wanna walk out of there with people saying wow I wanna hear more of that guy make them wanna google me or look me up on myspace,youtube, datpiff and all other sites...with new material being recorded soon and new writting sessions begining this summer should be amazing and uber productive...its not about fashion money or fame its about looking out into a crowd and knowing that the gift I was blessed with is reaching people...goodnight world
