Sunday the 14th of July 2024 and the title of this reflection is a firm believer so I'm a very firm believer in and of the fact that like you know the songs that I put out are effectively stories they are stories that no matter how kind of like no matter how far back they may be in time
like they will always kind of like swing back around and have some sort of relevance to a certain degree. And this is the reason, you know, this is the reason why I believe that
music in itself is powerful, storytelling is powerful, storytelling within music is powerful and that's the reason why rap is powerful. And, you know, not to brag, but it kind of like, you know, like this is basically, this is effectively the belief that I have. You know, this is effectively like the power that I believe is within the music that I create. I have the ability to tell a story that I can tell in 10 years
time and it will still have some degree of relevance. Like for example, the day that I had yesterday was extraordinarily laborious, it was very challenging. And I had all the dark thoughts that I was experiencing during the time in which I wrote the song Off My Record, during the time I wrote the song Battle Wounds, during the time I wrote the song Fragile, I wrote the song Two Foot Tune. All of these songs that dive deep within the pressure and the extremity of toxic masculinity, what it actually means to be a man, experiencing suicidal thoughts.
All of these songs effectively become relevant and it's funny because I was listening to that music driving on my way back home and realizing, wow, I wasn't really kidding or I wasn't playing around when I was actually trying to express this information to the whole world. Life is tough, but the whole point that I'm trying to make is that music is powerful because it can still be relevant in 10 years time like you know
because you are telling the story and stories always have a way of kind of swinging back around and becoming relevant again which kind of like gives me the opportunity and the ability anyway to understand that like you know if I continue to kind of like package this music and sell it in a way that tells a story or in a way that kind of like you know gives put some information out there in a certain narrative you know I will always be able to recycle.
