I was talking with my brother the other day when we began to fight and the idea of me not "grinding" like a rapper or not being "hard" was thrown in the air...these 2 statements stuck a cord with me because I never claimed to be either...I said I'm not hard never have been and never will be...and I'm not a rapper...I really try to erase the term rapper from being attached to my name...the reason being is not because I'm against rap or even because I wanna have some sort of gimmick, but rather because I feel that calling yourself a "rapper" is just another form of placing a label on you...placing yourself in a box to be held inside those tiny 4 walls that make up the genre rap...
If you think I'm crazy, just say the phrase I rap to someone and watch the look on there face...if there young then they may show interest...but if there older then watch the look of disgust...also I feel like when you say the phrase "I rap" it sets up and expectation and for many they don't wanna hear it because let's face it most I would say 90% of rappers all speak on the same things...my music on the other hand is not confined to "rap" its really all over the place, its heavily based around what I listen to daily and that's all types of genres...so I don't correction I won't allow myself to be boxed in to a cell that dictates what I can do musically...
My first official single off my album is gonna be released on tuesday and I can't really wait...I'm excited to see how many people will support my music...this is a very big leap for me...I've always lacked a sense of confidence, I've always been so insecure and afraid of releasing my music to the masses but not anymore...I'm making a stand. The album that I have created is incredible...I set out on a mission and I accomplished that mission...and this first single "Alright" is marking the beginning of what I hope will be a movement...on tuesday I want all of you to go purchase the song, take a risk its only a dollar but your support will let me know how soon to unleash all the other music that I have to offer...please show your allegiance to an idea let's all pursue happiness
