Day 13 of a thousand words. I figured I would write about one of my favorite songs of mine, It Is What It Is. This is a song I wrote and recorded way back in 2012. It was released on my February 2012 mixtape Running Rebel. To this day, I consider this mixtape to be … Continue reading DAY 13 (1000 WORDS, 3rd attempt)

DAY 12 (1000 WORDS, 3rd attempt)
Day 12. Sober day. Right now I'm only doing 2 sober days per week. I know it's not a lot but it's definitely a challenge for me, coming from smoking every day for so many years. It's been a couple weeks now and I've stayed consistent with this goal, so I'm definitely happy with my … Continue reading DAY 12 (1000 WORDS, 3rd attempt)
DAY 8 (1000 WORDS, 3rd attempt)
Time flies, and I'm often torn apart by indecision, since everything is a possibility, yet there's not enough time for everything to be done correctly, or even at all. A person might struggle along one specific path throughout an entire lifetime, but does he or she finally know whether they've succeeded, once the moment of … Continue reading DAY 8 (1000 WORDS, 3rd attempt)
DAY 5: Eternal Words (1000 WORDS, 3rd attempt)
Day 5 of writing a thousand words from my mind. I'm glad I'm sticking with this goal so far, it's only been five days but I'm feeling really motivated to keep this going this time. The second time I attempted to do this daily I got up to Day 81, then when I failed it … Continue reading DAY 5: Eternal Words (1000 WORDS, 3rd attempt)
DAY 4: Getting My YouTube channel started (1000 WORDS, 3rd attempt)
Day 4, 1000 words once again! Lately I've been super busy working on different things, and I also can't slack off on my daily blog post! The main thing I've been focusing on lately though has been my YouTube channels. I have two YouTube channels. One of them is my original one, which has just … Continue reading DAY 4: Getting My YouTube channel started (1000 WORDS, 3rd attempt)
“Instrumental Inspiration” Volume 1
I sample a lot of records to make beats, it's something I really enjoy doing, especially on my MPC One. This particular collection of sampled beats, however, consists of some of my earliest sampling experiments, not too complex, completed on FL Studio 11. These beats are actually from back in 2012, so they're being officially released 10 years after their creation. I'll be releasing more sampled beats moving forward, all as part of the Instrumental Inspiration series, since each beat has been inspired by, and built from, an existing work of art.
Reviving My Blog!
WOW!!! I can't believe it's been almost 3 years since I last posted something on here. And to think I had set the goal of writing a thousand words a day! Hah! Well, I can't be so tough on myself, I made it up to at least like 80 consecutive days at one point. What … Continue reading Reviving My Blog!
1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 81: Listening to Musicians’ Full Discographies.
I have a few different methods for listening to music which I use at different times in order to have different experiences. I really do love to listen to all kinds of music, or at least most, so what I do is try to listen the the greatest artists from each genre, in order to … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 81: Listening to Musicians’ Full Discographies.
1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 58: Culture Contrast, The Music Business.
I was born in the third world, right by the equator, in a country so hot and so violent you might think you're in hell if you came to visit. If you looked a bit closer though, you might find that it is also a place of peaceful villages, a place of family harmony, a … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 58: Culture Contrast, The Music Business.
1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 27: Great Albums, Full Albums vs. Single Songs.
I posted a summary, not really a review, more of just a personal opinion, today about Bob Marley and The Wailers' album 'African Herbsman.' A classic that isn't very well-known yet definitely deserves greater recognition. 'm gonna start posting more music that I really enjoy on here, since I find that often the people I … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 27: Great Albums, Full Albums vs. Single Songs.
