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,
