J. Cole’s new single “Work Out.”.What a sick single!! My hiatus can continue peacefully - Hip Hop is in gooooood hands!!
Woo!!! There IS a Tumblr iPhone app! Consider me back. Music is on hiatus but I’ll find something fun to post about in the meantime.

Soooo… My Empire Avenue addiction is really going to be a problem! haha trying to get this blog verified and then hopefully that will give me some serious incentive to use this a lot more often! Is there a Tumblr iPhone app? I’m sure there is… I need to check in to that…
I can see the light. Lately, I have been living in a constant state of hell brought on by what I believe to be severe clinical depression. My rhymes have always been on-point (have I mentioned that I’m terribly modest?) but I fear that that state of depression has seeped into my music. The response from Freshman Forgiveness has been overwhelmingly positive - in fact, I have only heard one hater! I’m not saying I want to take the album back - I love this album dearly and, in a way, this album both tore me apart as a person and help set in motion my rebuilding process. But the fact remains that as I hopefully get better, so will my music. I don’t care if I never “blow up,” I just want to have fun. And lately, I haven’t had very much fun doing anything at all! How miserable, right? Well, I’m determined to get out of this rut and to shine on - brighter than before. Ever since I was little boy I have loved to entertain. As long as the fans continue to like my music I will continue to give it to them - be it just one person or a stadium’s worth. I will be promoting the hell out of Freshman Forgiveness in the coming weeks and months while I prepare my follow up project. I don’t know what that will be - but I do know it will be entirely self produced. Scratch that, I want to have a reunion with my BROTHERS Tony and James and hopefully I get get a Simes beat on that mofo. :)
I’ve done my research lately and I KNOW that there are MILLIONS of people in The United States alone who feel like I have been feeling. If I can indeed escape Satan’s dark grip and make it out of the tunnel of depression, I hope that my music reflects that and helps to guide you, if you so desire it to. Remember: where there is a will, there is a way. As corny as it might sound, it’s true: The only time that there is no hope is when you give up on yourself.
I love each and every one of you,

The song I tweeted about the other day, pOetry, will not be on this album. I wrote it with the intention of it being on my next project. Completely different vibe to it, but that is one of my favorite songs that I have ever heard. It’s surreal.
Welp. It’s taken me in excess of 7 months to complete this album, but I think it’s finally finished. I put everything I had into Freshman Forgiveness; I literally gave my life to complete it. The album really is just an extension of myself. It is what I would be, if I were rap music (although some would argue that I am rap music). Sure, there are some artistic liberties taken, but not nearly as many as you would imagine. I hope this album doesn’t suck, because that would devastate me even more than creating it has. Anyway, I want to finalize a few things still but the release of the album will be coming shortly, for free, here on this website. Among other websites such as patpiff, facebook, twitter, etc. I just wanted to let you know what’s going on over on this end, world. It’s coming. I hope you love it. I certainly do. Big moves ahead of me. Uncertainty is also ahead, but that comes with the territory I suppose.
Love,
Me
