it's not fair. it's not meant to be.
When forced to make decisions that could possibly change the course of your life [at least for the moment] the easiest thing to do would be to pass the buck, or look to others for advice. Even when you know in your heart what HAS to be done, you have to respect every side of every argument. Examine every truth and explore every possible outcome.
Recently I met one of these metaphorical crossroads in what is soon to be my musical career. As i sit here in the back office at Double Tree where I "work", and stare at a blank Solo artist contract, I can't help but think about the last week or so, in which I have been doing just that. Examining and exploring.
The Situation: I am currently 1/3rd of a group called The Cypher, in which I produce most of the songs, and also perform as an artist in. We were presented 'as a group' the opportunity to sign on to the Recording/Production company BoardRoom Recordings. After a few months of not recording, the Cypher finally began to work their schedules out to get in the studio. The few times that we made it to the studio were not enough or the company to leave the offer on the table for the whole group. But it was still extended to Me...A-Sharp.
The Problem: The contract is for a solo artist....meaning that I would be working on songs by myself. Now, obviously that is not a "problem" per say, because we are all individual artists anyway. We didn't grow up together, but we have known each other for a long time, so It's just something that I don't feel like I should even entertain. If The Cypher was getting the offer I would feel better about it....but......X-/
THE SOLUTION:
Loyalty....
I love my brothers.
What can I say?
Family ties.

Do Me a Favor....
A-Sharp is currently working on a solo project along with The Cypher's album. I'm tryna really release my creative side. I got a few beasts on the beat side of things too. Cardi, Mr. Prezident, Shawn Weathers....A-Sharp. I'm really gonna go all in on this project because I feel like I need it, in order to really grow and to be on the level I need to be to really get noticed when I perform, or when people here my...OUR music.
P.S. if anybody knows some serious musicians tryna start a band for performances hit up my email: bbqchikken@yahoo.com
everybody gets weak when they hear my email...=]
other than that....
The 1st single that I'm really feeling on the 'mixtape' [hate that word] is gonna be called "UnderEstimate Me." Which is pretty much what I want everybody to do. It's all that people do to tell you the truth. When i sit behind a piano in front of someone who has never seen me play....they underestimate me, and then I have to prove myself. When I put in a cd that has some beats on it for someone who never heard any A-sharp beats.....they underestimate me, and then I have to prove myself. The 1st time i stepped on the field for summer football camp in high school with shoulder pads too big, and a cage facemask......they underestimated me, and I had to prove myself. [hardest hitter Maury ever saw] Now every time I step into a rapping cypher......they underestimate me, and I make them all look stupid.
How much math do you have to take to know that A-Sharp=The Truth??
So PLEASE....Do Me A Favor: UnderEstimate Me.
-------->moving on
I know i been slippin on my BLOG game....but i made a twitter, and it is GARBAGE if you do not update it like every 5 seconds lol. So i'm about to be on my supra-sharp grind from here on out. I might need you all's help too. I need a name for this project.
WAIT!! did i mention that Cardi has a verse on that track??!!??!
you can underestimate me.....DO NOT underestimate him. under ANY circumstances lol
[ShoutOut to BoardRoom]
<------------------moving back
I gotta peel off at least one blog a day from now on.
Shout out to CCB also....they were stayin at the hotel and were all extra cool. They gave me chicken and invited me to go see them perform at Blakely's then chill afterwards. I don't know how I declined....but I did lol....still, shout out to them. 'Look at My Phatty' got me rode thousands of times at parties lol.
But yea....I owe y'all a lot more info so I'ma take a break right quick but I'ma be back in like a hour.

In Like...
just got the worse news ever...
she's leaving...
number one.
headed back to PA for the summer.
Right when we were getting this close.
I won't really understand this for a while. I was ready to all in on this one. She has it all, and as quick as she was brought into my life.....*poof*
The crazy thing is, I'm not supposed to be on no relationship type stuff anymore. After the last one went wrong, I decided I was going to chill until I wanted to get as serious as a relationship could get. I was gonna b on my 'fun-time.'
BUT....
She got me zoning, and I have yet to really let her know. I even, no homo, wrote this song for her. She tells me that we're going to get rich and drop a album with just us too lol. That ish is MAD cute. I'm stuck between like and love, but leaning to the right like a wino.
I really want her to stay.
REALLY.
I wish she would read this So I don't have to tell her to her face, but I only have until Monday to speak my piece.
I've never felt complete with someone who wasn't officially my gf. Jus a friend that I want more from. A Friend that I kissed. That i hug. That I hold. My soon-and-very-soon.
I wish I could keep her here, but.....
[defeated....he drops pen and dissolves]
EXIT
