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?

Favourite Line: “Gardener can we have a picnic in the park?/Girl I rather get bitten by a shark!/”

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”.

Pending Write-up: Learn Sumthin’ (Track 9)

As you know (or don’t know), I attend York University and I have come to terms with that I probably will be going to school for the rest of my life.

As weird as it sounds I enjoy it.  Growing up my mother was to busy providing the basics for her children, such as food, clothes, shelter.  I for one can understand, that she did not have enough time to help with homework or be dedicated to our studies while having a demanding job.

School has provided me with a foundation for anything I want to learn about.  Ex. I took a Racial Minority literature class and learned about a woman who is now one of my favourite authors, Dionne Brand…But I digress…This song is about motherfuckers, and that is what they are!  Those people who continually talk about it rather than be about it!  We have all met them and I have seen that mind set rub off on people not a pretty sight!  That way of thinking is very deceptive and I have seen it ruin lives.

Also added the very talent pHoenix Pagliacci…It was a close call but we were able to add her verse in the track!

This song is dedicated to those talkers….LEARN SUMTHIN’
