Free Music can still make you money

1st off I’d like 2 thank everyone 4 their support. Just upload some new pics so be sure 2 check’em out. Also I just sign up 4 ourstage’s latest and greatest idea about having artist’s give away music. Although it changes the spectrum of what songs I will upload for competion it also gives a great opportunity. When I 1st read about it I had to say I was a tid bit skeptical, but once I put some thought behind it I realized something… This is the exact same thing lil Wayne did to help promote his album. Give away as much free music as u can and get ur name out there. Let people know what u have to offer as a artist….so when the time comes for them to spend money on ur music they will be more inclined too because instead of having just 1 or 2 songs (if any) to base whether they should purchase your cd they now have 10, 20, or maybe even a 100 to base what ur talent is to the game. Worked great for Wayne last year between featuring spots and mixtape songs he put out over 250 tracks. Fast forward to this year when he finally released his much anticapated album. His 1st week sales where over a million. All based off the fact that he made a bigger name for hisself by giving away his music. It’s that simple. So that why I support ourstage in this latest venture. It should be really beificail to all off us. Marketing creates buzz, buzz creates fan baes, and fan base creates a long lasting career…just ask any artist that.

4 the Love of Music

Wow!!! What a trying month…Grandma’s on her death bed, no word from my daughters mother on her coming to see her child, and a affair with a 18yo married women. Well that’s why I love being a musicain when time’s seem tough and your not sure what 2 do. Write a song about it. Turn your nightmare’s into making your dreams come true. We all have rough time’s but it’s how we handle those situations that make all the difference. Change is something any of us look forward too. But it is what makes us stronger, wiser, and smarter. I looking forward to what the coming months may bring. The pomise of a new day always leaves the oppurtunity to make things better for yourself in the long run. And now more then ever as I grow and mature as a adult, I also grow and mature as a Artist. And all thanks to my love of music…and speaks for the mind, it speaks from the soul, because it brings truth to the heart.

Jeweler by day, Rapper by Nite, Father 24/7

So just thought I’d post this to let all my ourstage friends know why I haven’t put up any new music or updated my pics. The answer is petty simple…I been busy being a dad. Sore excuse I know but when you have a stupid bitch for a babiesmomma it’s kind of understandable. It’s kind of hard to find time to do things when the other parent whose supposed to be in their childs life seems more concerned about finding a new dick then taking care of her responsiblites. Music is my passion but my daighter is my life. My major reason’s behind writing my music is to make a better life for me and my daughter, and to make sure she don’t have to go through the same hard ships her father had to endore. As a parent I feel as if although my music is imporant…my daughter mental physically and emotional well being is far more imporant. So in turn my writing, recording, and over all comitment to my music has to take a backseat for now.

Being Grateful

I recently received a message about how some artist’s where complaining about how votes and ranks where totaled. This bugged me considering this is probably the best site 2 truely rate music. Because you get in what u put in. If you only make a half ass effort you will only get a half ass result. People looked at me dumb last month when I said I was happy to be rank 113 in alt.rap. But I mean why wouldn’t I… being my first month on here and my first song I put up finished 2nd in the state, and was ranked higher then ova a 1,000 other people. I had reason 2 be proud. Some people just have to learn to be greatful and apprecaite the small things that might eventually roll into something big. Instead of expecting it all at once.

Making the most of it.

First off I just wanna say how great it is to find a place like Ourstage. For the first time music is finally given back to the people. I thinks it’s great that there’s one place where all up and coming artist from across the globe can come together. The artist on here for the most part seem like we all share the same dream…To become famous and get paid for making the music we love. The money’s not the issue the feeling of accomplishment after a good month of competing is enough. Alot of my songs aren’t fully mixed and that’s fine.But I know I thing. And that is great music can’t be over looked. And that the public knows the dufference between shit and Da shit. Naw mean? LOL
