While You Were Listening (Mini-Documentary)

October 27, 2013 in Blog, Music

"While You Were Listening" is a mini-documentary project created in collaboration with my good friend William Eliot. Eliot, followed me around over the course of four or so months in the fall of 2012. The footage is a collection of various performances, interviews and intimate moments. WYWL is in essence the beginning stages of my growth and development as an artist and details those transitioning periods. I was able to view an early edit of the documentary and looking at me then doesn't feel so much like me now. I was left feeling inspired and longed to return to that former self full of passion and vibrant life. I'm happy to share this joy with you.

Love, Peace, & Hip-Hop

This Indie Artist Life...

October 05, 2013

This indie artist life is... Something of an experience (at least at moments it really can be). I wish my brothers could have had this moment with me but I felt their essence. First & for most my gratitude towards A3C Brain & everyone involved who granted me the time & space to share intimate moments on stage. Thank you A3C s/o to the Star Bar I'm very humbled to be apart of such an amazing event. I hope to come next year & do it all again. I experience a life time between 8pm & 2am

... I've been invigorated, I feel it in my soul. Grateful I was able to connect with some amazing creative beings & artist alike.. Brown Bag Allstars, Tanya Morgen & me.. Jokes all day Lol! The magnitude of love out here has been overwhelming. I'm in it for the culture & preservation of it, this is what it's all about. If you're a indie artist I implore you to make this trip one year. It will open you up to fresh currents of thought.

Be you, like unapologetically. I've always known that.. But tonight I actually realized what it means. Stay humble & stay hungry.

God.. My sister drove 8 hours this morning yo, to see me her little brother perform. I'm emotional. Lala you give me life. I love you.. I like to believe I felt my mothers presence guiding me on stage... Thank you being in the room. I'm keeping promises... #onetimeformadukes I hope my brothers know.. I didn't do this without each of them in mind. That when they saw me, they saw & heard yawl too.
