Pending Write-up: Closing Exhibit (Track 12)

End of the line folks.  This final track closes out the album.  This is a Rap/Hip-Hop album and I remind the listener of that with this track.

In this track I wanted to display my feelings about my own rap skills and my music as a whole.

I was bumping alot of James Brown around this time and with the help Lone Monk I was able to have a track with a funky tone.  I wanted a real laid back feel something to really ease the listener into the ending of the record.

The speech is a great add as well really sums up the record…Do you know who the man is?  Drop a comment let me know!

Pending Write-up: Pending (Track 11)

If you want to know who I am…this track sums me up pretty well.  Growing up I was not the ladies man or the cool guy..I was regular dude…and as a result people overlooked me…boo hoo poor me lol.

Never really cared about that, but what errks me is that people front on you like they don’t need  you, then end up assed out and ask for you assistance…this has happened to me more times than you know..fuck it I may just be the sucker?

Pending Write-up: Drive (Track 10)

I wrote this song a while ago and originally it was to a different beat.  The funny thing is I wrote the hook for my homie he was actually going harder than me at rap.  I didn’t have an album on the horizon or nothing.  I was focused on working and getting an idea on what I was going to do with my life.

The hook just sat for a while and I felt it was way to good to just let go to waste.  I wrote two verses for it and recorded it over a instrumental.  Then Lone Monk produced the music for it.

I was watching the movie Speed Racer a hell of a lot….the movie is all about overcoming challenges so I was a bit influenced to incorporate the ideal meaning of a person having “drive”.
