I take advice to heart when it's coming from my best friends, even though best is only 2 weeks old, I still feel like, feel like, feel like flyin'. I wonder to myself why I have to be so bold, it's just me, me, me, me.

Thank You
Firstly, I want to thank every one whose ever trusted me to further their dream.
I've been learning on the job since July 2009, when I chose to start managing a neo-soul artist by the name DAYLITE. Before then, I was raw talent and egotistical; selfishly pursuing external temptations and fame, purely for my own name's sake. I pissed some great friends off in this process so secondly, I thank you for your patience.
I hosted a party in Manhattan to declare my company official and mark my next embarkation: Atlanta (That was January 29, 2010). Thank you for your attendance.
212 Music was born and many professional relationships did not survive. I know I could write a book on all the experiences I've gone through since I arrived here in South, but that will be another post. Thank you for the reminder.
FF to the evening of Friday, March 23, 2012, and one of those positively life-altering phone calls that every great knows they will receive one day - A bona-fide BREAK; the synthesis of fantasy and reality; a form of self-actualization. All I could do is thank God. Over and over and over. And I wish I could write more but I'm sworn to secrecy. Thank you GOD!!!!
I made 3 strategic power moves in the first 3 weeks of January this year. All I can say right now is that THAT alliance was one of them and it will take a little more time to develop. Meantime, my second priority has Columbus, Georgia written all over it. Who knew tattoos would become so important? What an awesome twist to this story. I'm getting my next major piece done Saturday and supporting a teammate's performance. Thank you... Love. Peace. Abundance.

What's Next?
To synthesize the golden age of urban music I grew up on into a musical identity others can relate to has been one of the most important and long-lasting battles I have fought over the past fifteen years, and it’s nowhere near over. Since middle school I’ve known I have deep talent for writing that has manifested in many forms and styles of poetry and song. Is the reason I have yet to find my niche because I reflect my environment so well?
Notorious B.I.G., DMX and Nas first captured my fascination in the mid-90s. During the late 90s and early aughts, my catalog grew to include Nelly, Eminem, Ludacris and Outkast. As I headed east to New York in 2004, Kanye West appeared. I became an avid listener of Lil Wayne, rediscovered Jay-Z and supported Fabolous and 50 Cent. In hip-hop, southern influence has only grown since that time and here in 2012, I find myself in Atlanta. It is clear to me I am chasing my biggest dreams.
Personally, I see that southern music has begun to stagnate. Except for T.I., 2 Chainz and Young Jeezy, it’s all copycat style. Wiz Khalifa, Meek Mill and Mac Miller are the newest class or artists, and two of them hail from Pittsburgh of all places. I suppose if I’ve followed my musical influences to New York and to Atlanta, it only makes sense my taste is moving back towards to the Midwest, and my hometown of Milwaukee.

Vid Eos
Vid is the Sanskrit root of Vidya, meaning "to know" and in Greek mythology, Eos is the Titan goddess of the dawn...
Last night I was thinking about starting a vlog - I was halfway inspired to do it by one of my friend's. I have plenty to talk about. It could almost be an update on all these projects I suddenly have in motion. My phone has a good camera too.
I'm pleasantly surprised that friend just hit me up. Tomorrow night my teammate B. Hoody is performing at the LOFT here in ATL with Cory Gunz, Kendrick Lamar and Cyhi da Prince. I'm there. Maybe tomorrow will be the first vlogpost I do. We shall see.
