The 1st single for “Hard Work Pays Off” is about to drop! Been in the studio working hard on this album and now it’s time to start pushing the music out. Matter fact it’s not even work to me cause I love doing this. Anyway the single is about to hit radio soon and expect the official video not long after that. Just wanted to give the fans a heads up on what’s about to fly out there. This summer is about to be hotter than the hottest…

Hard Work Pays Off is in its final stages. Most of the album is in the mixing and mastering phase, and I’m just adding the finishing touches to the tracks. Getting all the show dates for the upcoming Hard Work Tour is the next step.

I’m going to put some snippets out soon so my fans can help me pick the first single. The reason for that is the music is for you, and I want to get the fans involved in the release as much as possible . I also want to space the singles out right and keep the flow going.

It’s been over 6 months since I did a show because the focus was making incredible art. I love the studio but I’m ready to get back on that stage. I didn’t let deadlines and other distractions get in the way of creativity. Music is my life, and I hope the world can enjoy the music as much as I enjoyed making it.

I recorded two new tracks for Hard Work Pays Off tonight. I thought I was finished recording but the ideas keep coming. I’m going for a sound that’s not like anything else out, so I don’t want to rush the creative process. When artists make music with making money as their main focus, they try to recreate what is hot now. I think great music is made by the trendsetters, and not those who copy what they do. I want this album to standout from the rest and bring something fresh to the game. There is a quote that goes “Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.”, so if Hip Hop is a common thing, I’m striving for excellence.

It’s been so much trash in mainstream Hip-Hop, I wonder why the majors even put that bs out. That’s like trying to sell a t-shirt with a kool aid stain on the front. “This is the new style! You didn’t know?” Naw homie, actually I didn’t. Are you trying to sell me a used shirt? “uhh it’s not used, it’s brand new. That’s not a stain that’s art.” Look dog, if I want juice on it I can spill it myself…on accident. You see art. I see a kool aid stain.

Tried to pull a fast one on me! That’s how fans feel when they go out and buy a C.D. and it’s wack. Then they start thinking about what they could have spent that paper on. A sack of weed, or 10 in the tank, or a nick bag and 5 in the tank. If you make a fan think that, you just lost 1 buddy.

I’m back in the studio working on “Hard Work Pays Off”. It will be incredible. I’m not going to yell “classic” like everybody else, because that’s not up to me. It’s up to the fans. One thing I do know is Hip-Hop needs a win. 2 seconds left. Down by 1. Give me the ball. Fadeaway J. Swish!
