Let me start off by saying that Jesus Christ is Lord over my life and without him nothing is possible.........
NOW THAT WE GOT THAT OUT THE WAY! (JK)
Yesterday, I didn't even have to use my AK, so... I must confess it was A good day. It started out like any other. I wake up and debate between starting on a beat and twitter promo. So my brain was like (Make a beat, Twitter promo, Make a beat, Twitter promo #lookingleftandright) I chose Twitter promo. lol. What a good choice this was on Dec 9th 2010!
Short Story Long, I saw MTVNews saying they were going to interview 9th Wonder (one of my favorite producers) and David Banner (one of my fav artist). So I "jokingly" tweet, " you should feature my video HEllo" ... and they "seriously" tweet back, Tune in at 4:00 Et, you're on!
HOLD UP! Let me read this again... YUP! It's one of those defining moments in your career. It's like you hustle daily throwing a lot of jabs here and there, but you do all that to set up a big knock out punch. Happy it landed!
The experience was great! I got to get my video viewed and critiqued by 9th Wonder and Banner... They clearly loved the song and had some great constructive critique.
Banner called me a triple threat and told me I need to get to pushing that song E-Mede-At-Lay. 9th one of the greatest producers that ever lived said and I quote " I would have never thought to flip that beat in that way"... HUMBLING in a word.
The Hello project is near and dear to my heart. It's my baby and it's great to see it grow and develop. It started with an idea, then a beat, then the concept. It then moved on to me storyboarding, shooting and editing the video. (Shouts to Demarcus and E.KElly for helping). Then the promo of it was key. Shout out to Calvin Collins for helping me with my YouTube campaign, and UBER BIG shout out to Pikassho for recommending me to the team over at MTVRapFix. Much love to the legendary Sway for all he does to keep hip hop alive and break NEW artist!
It's great to celebrate an accomplishment and have everyone celebrating with you! I actually was trending in Dallas Fort-Worth! Glad I was trending for ALL THE RIGHT reasons and not because I was on Papi Thugz or some ish (if you get the joke you'll laugh... Hard).
But really, as I look over my life, the places I've been, the mistakes I've made, the people I've met etc... I wouldn't take ANYTHING back. I'm a better artist, man, father etc and I thank the Lord that every year I look back on my life... I see progression in ALL areas. In closing, this victory is all about my fans and loved ones who have watched me grow and progress every step of the way. How should I end this........ Ummmmmmm
AYE!!!
