holy shit

hey everyone
The EP is complete, well, not packeaged and all that but you know....sonically complete. DAMN...... the feeling is incredible. We just finished playing it for Dave (our new keyboard player and family) and his family and it gave me the chills. I'm really proud to be able to hand someone a CD like.....there you go, that's what i do. It seems like a lifetime ago I was in North Hollywood with with only half a band, and no idea what the fuck I was doing. We have really been through it, you know....the broke, the cold, the roaches, the angry landlord, the trees....the life. It's time for the next phase. Not gonna lie, it's a little bit scary. I know we all get scared of our own success at times, we keep ourselves at bay, but it's time for the transfer to arrive and i'm really proud of us for that.

We got a big show on Feb. 8th at The Derby, come out. I love everyone.

Winding down in the city with the rain

Just a few more days up here in seattle. Some shit is going down when i get back to LA. I think the time has really come for the transfer to make their mark, we have worked hard and we're finally at a place where we have a product we can be really proud of. I'm so thankful for my band and all the people around me whose talent make me strive to be excellent at what i do.

I've been listening to Young Murph's new track different every night before i go to sleep. Murph has a crazy ability to make a song that is hella good in every enviornment. Listen and you will know exactly what i mean.

"I was hoping to get her open like a book and just read wasn't knowing she was a poem my illiteracy"
That's my dude always getting better and blowing me away.

Also....GMK.....checked out the show tonight, godamn. Go see for yourself.

I miss my cuthan

purpose time

Sometimes.... you give advice that you yourself cannot follow until you see that advice helping out another individual. I'm so lucky to have people around me that don't just talk the talk. Me and Murph talked about making sure everything we do has a purpose, and he has really pushed me to view this as more then a concept but a way of life. It's like, everytime you choose to do something, what are you doing it for? Are you gonna just kick it, or get up and go work on your game whether it be hoop, singing, or school or whatever? Are you gonna do those small things that hurt your body just cause you feel like it, are you gonna go out when you know you need rest to kill in the studio the next day? I think It's the people that can discipline themselves into making the right choices and staying with a purpose that become great, and that's what family is aiming for....greatness. So i guess we know what we gotta do.

peace out

for murph and the the family

a wall

Today we hit a wall....all good.

Naima is the best song of all time.

When do we grow out of wanting what we can't have?

That's all i got for today.

Peace out

inspiration and my 100 person family

what's up everyone
MLK day....inspiration.

What's up with not having any great leaders anymore, why is everyone numb to the things that matter. I'm no different, I'd rather be famous than righteous at times. I wonder if we will change though, what does it take? Are we gonna wait till there is no chance, till there is no way for us to reverse the troubles that plague us? Everyone is so skeptical and cynical, maybe we need a little blind faith....something to make us people of action. Well....like my homie says, treat the 100 people closest to you like family, make sure they are always good. That's my new years resolution, to love my 100 person family. If you're reading this you are most likely a part of that family, so, much love to you and yours on this day of inspiration and remembrance.

peace out
