This was never going to be easy. I keep telling myself this and somehow I wind up eluding myself from the reality that putting my all into music is gonna require sacrifice.
Being a rap artist proactively for almost four years now, I’ve found myself in situations where I’m faced with a task that needs a 110% of my efforts when I only have about 20% left in the gas tank.
Those situations come around pretty often, and I’m having to learn how to dig deep during those moments because they’re often the deciding factor between me choosing to carry on going forward, or me calling it quits.
The trouble alone with releasing one simple single in today’s age is unprecedented. There’s a continuous demand to push myself beyond my comfort zone and if I did this without any other commitments, I’d be doing something I’ve never done before pretty much every day.
Taking to new people, keeping up with the ones I already know, sending music to blogs, magazines, or YouTube reactors the sheer LIST of things I need to do grows bigger and bigger as the years go by.
I kinda wish I was my younger more naive self who would have just sat in one space recording song after song with no care or emotional investment as to where the song might go viral or not.
In truth though I’m happier to be where I am, knowing just how far deep I need dig to make my music come to life.
