INITIATION WEEK: If You Don't Do This, Then You Are Automatically Out
 
This should be extremely simple...

Text Heads:

Write something to an imaginary record label, such as a business proposal, verse, or topical, on saying why you would be an asset to the company. Give valid reasons, and no, "I own shit" will not be a valid one. Come from a business stand point, name shit that the competition doesn't have. Simple.

Minimum Lines: 20, or three paragraphs for the letter.

Audio Heads:

Do likewise as the text heads. It can be a track, or a beat with a back story behind it.

Minimum Minutes: 2:00

If you do text and audio, you may chose whichever is best for you.

This is due by Tuesday, 11:59 PM.

NO EXCEPTIONS. NO EXTENSIONS.

Post your piece in a new thread.

The judges will not be giving feedback on this round.

Good Luck.

TitoBronsky 11-02-06 04:51 PM

Well Considering that Rap itself isnt a Job or a talent Raping Is a gift from life, coming from the struggles and strives of a lifetime worthe of troubles. So i would say that I am a good asset to a Record label anywhere. applying the Facts that I am a persistent person and I font give up so easily. I've been blessed with this gift to rap since I was born lol. But on a serious not ive been rapping since i was bout 7/8 around that time and im 16 now and im really well known on the streets of North Carolina and i get around ive done sold out shows ( Yeah!! ) and ive done freestyle battles and if You want to see me I will be in the freestyle battle at the Henderson Convention Center In Henderson North Carolina on Friday @ 7:00 pm for $5 so come out and show your support. Ive been told that I have a original voice, and my lyrics were really well put and I have my points that get out through my music. Ive lost Freestyle battles but Lately ive won alot and ive got my name out more than I thought i would and I myself own a Record Label called Dem City Boys Recordings (DCB Inc.) and rii now were workin on the Mixtape so anybody can get down so holl at me. Rap is my life inside of my life, its one of the reason I stay in the right path, and go to school and alot of positive things I do in life come from me tryin to support my life of rapping. Rap isnt a Job, it isnt a Business, it's not a Skill, rapping is a Lifestyle.

L.E 11-02-06 11:34 PM

Doesn't have to rhyme.

TitoBronsky 11-03-06 06:18 AM

Hip Hop has always been a part of my life... i think geniticly spliced in like a sample over a dope beat. Writting rhymes to pass the time... getting things off my chest before i go into cardiac arrest for holding shit in.... i mean... Rythem and poetry has always been that escape.... especialy around age 13 when massive bombs were dropped on me at home.... i dont wannna get into that shit.... but imagine you knew the man in the mirror... and then .... that man in the mirrors like "GOTCHA BITCH"... and peels off a mask revealing a totaly diffrent you. I started ingesting the green... trying to take it all in... and what i found was that creativly... and at the deepest corner of my soul... i had peace.... From the first time i indulged i began seein the world through diffrent eyes.... my mind was open.... the rhymes were flowing... shit... my mind was floating.... and as i went through the struggle...... the hustle... the constant foolish nigga that wanna knucle up... i took a licking and kept on ticking. Im not sure why after everything i been through im still standing... but i am... with massive vision.... since i was a young child people who seen me on the street would stop my parents and be like.... that kid is destined for greatness... and everytime i heard that shit.... it was like.... scary.... did they know something i didnt.... But here i am today... grinding with my family *OYD* and destined for greatness and ready to kick in the doors of Def Jam on some FUCK YOU PAY ME shit. I dont think im the best there is.... but if Pun had a son wit a gun aimed at a nun... Then i was born to run this rap shit....and if he didnt.... im still all up in that shit! feel me??? I got ambition and the drive to succed.... In my team i have a group of guys who inspire me to get on the mic everytime i hear them rhyme.... its dope... to work with cats like that... *OYD*... What me and mines could bring to the table and any lable who would bless us wit the paper to back our Business... is Real Hip-hop.... 5 elements.... a return to the roots... on some back to the basics shit.... though our styles are advanced... when i say back to the basics... i mean that "VIBE" that hip-hop had back in the early 90's... you know what im saying??? that feel good music .... that culture... that love of music and passion is what Me and mine are bringing to this game.

I've always been the best at what I do. It doesn't matter what the subject, be it sports, music, school, work, I've always been the best. I've always been the first person picked for any type of activity as well. To be a part of a record label I would undoubtedly make a huge impact. I have been in the struggles of hip hop for some years now and have a very strong business mind. I would love to help in all facets of music to include promoting, advertising, writing, mixing, you name it, I'd do it. I'm not a little kid who has aspirations of being famous either. I plan to make an impact with my music, but I don't think I'd die if I wasn't famous. Please don't mistake that for a lack of desire though. I am very willing to do what it takes to make an impact in one of the hardest industries in the world. I've been making my own music for a couple of years now and have been pushing out mixtapes and performing shows to try and make a name for myself, so I know I have what it takes to get in front of a large audience and rip it. I've shaken off the jitters that come along with inexperience and am prepared to make a living with getting up in front of thousands of people with the sole purpose of entertaining them. I also know that money is what drives this industry and no one needs it more than I do. I have four children, a wife and a baby's momma, so struggle is all I know. I was also raised in a house with deaf parents. I'm no stranger to the streets either. I grew up in a little neighborhood in Philly called Lawncrest which was by no means easy. I made it out alive with ease and would use the same street smarts I learned as a child to boost myself through this industry with little to no trouble. All I am asking is for that one chance to show the world what I have to offer.

kinda like Defaults or Past Tenses.. But actually be a track.

KOOL COL-B 11-05-06 01:52 AM

ok, what i posted in tha introduction thread really belongs here, so i'll just put that and add to it.

im an 18 year old Latino from Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. i bin rappin scence i wuz 13, and i take it very serious. im legally blind, which means its alot harder to find a legal job cuz alot of employers dont want legally blind people workin fo them. im not blind, i just cant see good enough to see certian thangs, like reading thangs that arent very close to me, u know. i cant git my license, even tho i think i can see good enough to b able to drive. so yeah, even if i can find a job, i have no way of gitting there, right now anyway. it really makes my life so much harder then it needs to b and causes such a shitty struggle, just fo normal everyday thangs. so i need to make it in this rap shit, i have no other options, which iz why i take it so seriously and am always workin on sum new shit. ive also bin making beats fo like 3 years, im not too bad at that. my favorite rappers are Eazy-E/N.W.A, and my 2nd favorite rapper iz Eminem (hiz older stuff) so my shit iz like both of them mixed together, so i hear. i got an old skool, late 80's/early 90's west coast gangsta style, wif sum crazy multies (no 1 sylable simple shit fo me) ive put out 1 lil mixtape sofar, which wuz a year ago, and im still sellin them, lol, ive never met anybody who duzznt like my shit. people say i have a good voice fo it, sum say i sound kinda like Eazy-E. sum people have even said im in their top 5 rappers, haha. my girlfriend moved to Calgary over tha summer, so im still in Bridgewater, in grade 12, again, tryin 2 graduate. and in tha summer, if everythang goes according to plan, i'll b moving to Calgary to b wif her. so fo now, im saving my money up, making money however i can... u know what i mean :cool: lol. when i 1st started rappin, over like tha 1st 3 years, i just listened to rap that i liked and that sold, and i studied it, so i could figure out what people liked about it so much, and that i could use so people would like my shit. im a spicca thats versatile, i can rap about anythang, and im determined to make it rappin. im a smart buisiness man, when i wuz younger id always have mo money then my friends cuz they spent their money on stupid shit, while i saved mine all up, and i could hustle anythang, and still can/do. shit, i saw a cooler wif sum cans of pepsi in it last week, so i ran up n took two cans, then i sold them fo $1 each, lol, money iz money. im eazy to git along wif, most people i meet become my friends, i cant think of any real enemies i'd have, everybody likes me. and when people like me, they buy my cd :cool: my lil mixtape i put out round here proved that. i just got a really kool style, frum tha clothes i wear to tha shit i say. controversy sells, i got that shit. gangsta shit sells, i got that shit. stuff u can dance to sells, i got that shit. dope lyrics sell, i got that shit. if people wanna just dance to a song n not listen to tha lyrics, fine, but why just make tha song fo them? i like to put crazy lyrics that people who actually listen to them can b like "o werd", wif a dope, g-funk-like beat that people who wanna just dance n shit, can do that too. cuz it sells to both types of people = twice az many sales az a cd made fo just 1 group of people, u know. i think my shit iz very marketable. im tha type of spicca who will set trends, n all that kinda shit. i'd definatly b down to move on to other thangs besides just rappin, like movies, video games n clothes n shit. i also think that, wif tha hispanic population rising so much, alot of hispanic people might wanna check out my shit cuz im like them, so thats alot of people right there. and az a Canadian, u know that if a Canadian rapper makes it big, tha whole country would sapport them.

im what rap needs. werd

Express it however you want.

Also Known. 11-05-06 04:21 AM

To tell a lable I want a deal is a lie so I'm gonna say the truth...



Road to success I'm accellerating past haters
Saw the stairway to success and used the elevator

Grind night and day they call me Tony Hawk of these beats
Suddenly my name ringin bells I'm the talk of the streets

Future of rap came in this game just to bless it
like a broken answering machine, labels ain't gettin the message

Don't need a deal you can keep your chain and pendant I'ma move it independent
Makin money so fast I don't know where to spend it

Say they sign me. Yeah I'd get fame, but only get a little bit of change when they sell my debut CD
Man these labels gettin greedy makin millions of the artists, they don't really need me

I do all the work they reap the profits of my struggle, it happens to so many
I'll pass on your sugarcoated scam you call a deal and hustle, every copy for a lincoln i ain't talkin pennys

My words are spoken so well every songs got a story to tell
Somethin at which the industry fails so why wouldn't my album retail

Out the trunk of my car for just five bucks a copy
This way there's no A&R's shapin my style tryin to stop me

Mainstream is just a fain dream, a hyped up illusion
I remain underground back pack full of CD's keep it movin

Like unwanted merchandise I'm never gonna sell out
If my souls the ticket on the train to fame then just let me bail out

PrahJect 11-05-06 05:07 PM

Yo, my name is Rasheed Muhammad. Im was born in Harlem world raised on the same avenue as 40 Cal, Camron and Jae Millz. I was born around talent, so for me to even think about coming up I had to compare myself to cats that on a different level. Not having a father is the main reason music is what I do, school im not an underacheiver, I can see me going to college I know I can get the grades. However music is my way out, it's the route which I want to take, matterfact I have to take. It's either education/music or selling crack again. Ever since my father left and my mother has been stressing out, music has been my dedication. I bleed hiphop. This has been my first point to yall, I have the dedication, will and drive..knock me down im back up before you can fire me.

My Second point goes as follows, I have versatility most rappers don't have. they have certain styles they do really well and certain styles they can't even fuck with. I can do anything, every single topic you throw at me. I can do that club joint the cats gon dance too getting the mainstream club hiphop fans, I got the hard papoose-like punchline delivery diss/flossing tracks which got my street fans on lock, I can do those love songs getting ladies locked, I can do songs about the government about shit niggas don't even know because I educate myself, I can do songs about diseases, struggle, crack hood prolems, because I live it not jus hear about it...name it story tracks, I can do em all. That's my second point I have versatility...

My 3rd point I have marketabilty, I have a face which is media friendly, I have a sound like I said in my 2nd point which all audiences can feel, I have modesty and humbleness which will keep me at a good level and to gain respect. With all the audiences I can cater for gives u my marketability, I know what I can do and theres little I can't do.

My 4th point is stamina, I can ride it out, studio sessions if i keep gettin it wrong ill go 1000 takes to get it right because im a perfectionist, regarding tiring schedules, touring, meetings, living out a suitcase is all things I can do, I have stamina to do all of those things and stay on top of my work.

My 5th point is I have work ethic, I will work hard and I will make sure it's done right, people may moan about re-doing songs or re doing dubbs forr me if its necessary then it's done.

My 6th point is intelligence, I know what moves to make and when, when I need to hit the club tracks, when I need to be real, Im on top of my game for my age, im 16 and always getting better, I have the mind set and frame and clear path of a 25 year old rapper, Im mature and im business orientated.

My name you will hear, my name you will fear, P 2 THA, Black Bandan WE HERE! nah mean playboy...

I can't see myself not succeeding to the highest degree.

.Ike. 11-05-06 10:56 PM

ok so i guess audio doesnt have to make a track... so ill go ahead with it...

when it comes to things i love...i work harder at them than anyone. point, blank, period. Ask my high school basketball coach about that...nobody works harder than me...and thats just how it goes. My first love was basketball, and anyone that ever watched me play..or anyone that ever played against me can tell u that you will not outwork me..thats just how it goes...i push myself to points that others cant...and i think that is very valuable when it comes to succeeding.......i was offered some scholarships but decided to stay with my mom considering she was basically begging me...and as much as i love the game....i gotta put my mom first......

my 2nd love was my now ex girlfriend....i stepped back...realized how much love there was...and there again...i put all of my effort into a relationship because i loved her....you couldnt find a better boyfriend than what i was...i did everything in my power to make it work...worked hard at it

yes this does all relate to music because...my 3rd love...is indeed...music..............if given the opportunity...i would work harder than any artist in the camp...most definitely...just day before yesterday i was listening to Jay-Z on Sirius radio...he said that he had 70 artists on his label....and i said to myself...if i was in one of their positions i would outshine the shit out of every single one of them with my work ethic..i would MAKE them notice me whether they wanted to or not...

i can live on the road...i love traveling...performing is definitely a high for me...nothing better...i can put on a show...i believe i could put together a good enough live show...that after they seen me perform they would almost feel obligated to go buy an album......about like i was with busta rhymes..........i am confident that i could pull that off like he did.......i am something different...i make music that nobody around me does...who ever raps with meaning anymore?...exactly..... PLUS i can do it in a marketable way.....yes i can tell a story over a crunk beat....try me......................

Lastly......if there is one thing that i hate....its losing...and if theres one thing that i am...its a sore loser.......i absolutely refuse to lose.........theres nothing worse...and when its completely up to me ....i dont lose............i may lose every once in a while when theres a team around me........but to lose individually? fuck no...you will hardly ever see that out of me....it dont happen........SO yes that does relate to how i would be very helpful to a label..............i look at things like...making a good album...as a lose win situation.....and sells...as a lose win situation...............


those are some of the reasons my friends......

Mad Dog 11-06-06 06:26 AM

Yup don't have tim to record...so here we go...

Hi, my name is Tony Reynolds. Born June 3rd 1986 Tuesday afternoon at 2:03pm in Crawley Town where i still reside to this day.

Basically i've loved hip hop the best part of my life and i feel it's going through a process of revival at the moment what with the latest upcoming underground talent thats coming through. Now i've only been doing this since September 29th 2004 (notice my decency at remembering dates ha), but i feel i've elevated myself so much in these past couple of years that i've managed to step my own writing and vocal ability to at least where some people in the industry are at now who've been at this since a young age. Ok i may not be the best, but i definitely have something to offer and bring to the rap game no doubt, and no i'm not no Eminem ha, I have my own stories thanks. For a start, growing up as a kid without a main father figure up until i was like 7 or 8 wasn't easy plus there wasn't much money for the family as our mum had 2 mouths to feed and we would see our old man once or twice every other week tops to just bring round £20 or some crappy amount as he was strapped himself gave me influence for my writings, also living in Broadfield, which ain't no pretty part of Crawley i'll tell ya now also gave me street sense and another angle to write my tracks and there's my own personal side and my own reasons for wanting to rap. And thats to support my now 2 year old son who I myself now only see once every week. I'm a young father (18 for 9 days when he was born) and i wanna use the ability I have at the moment which WILL get better with time to give my son the chance to nothave the upbringing that unfortunately I had, and also others around me. I do owe a lot of people for me still being here but mostly, I owe myself because without rap, i wouldn't have any dreams or aspirations to continue on and it's why i'm so dedicated to everything i put into songs. The main 3 things in life I love are firstly my son, my girlfriend Hayley who's shown me so support and of course the hip hop because it's made me who I am and it's given me the chance to express myself the best way I can.

As for success, like I said there's not much at the moment because i'm so new to hip hop but that's not to say that I won't experience any kind of stage time or deals in the future. I've had live radio play which i'm personally proud of because it's given me the chance to spread my music to the world, as that is my main aim.

But just because there's no major success currently, i don't feel that i'm losing out as such or that i'm failing in hip hop, more rather i'm gaining new experiences and always bettering myself as a result from each track i release.

Well hope you liked reading my story...hopefully one day you'll be hearing a lot more from me, and if not, then look harder :thumbup:

Yours Faithfully


T. Reynolds (aka Mad Dog)

DQ 11-07-06 01:45 PM

March 25, 1989: the birth of Jessie Goessens. If you're wondering where the last name comes from, I have the Belgian nationality.
From the day I was born, I was the talk of the day. With my red shiny hair, I was the most viewed baby of the entire floor. Guess
I always liked being in the spotlight.

I grew up in a nice neighborhood with a small but loving family around me. I was the Benjamin so you could say that I was a bit of
spoiled kid. I had a quite normal childhood, besides the frequent name calling. Carrot Tops aren't always people's favorites you
know. It all changed when I started high school. The first week of high school, one of my best friends died all of a sudden. One
day he was there, the next he was gone. I will never ever forget that day. It made me lose faith in life. It took me a while to
get over the initial pain but even when I did...it wasn't quite the same. I started caring less and less about what my life was
like and got involved with the bad crowd. Did the dirty work (dealing) but I stopped after a few months. I figured it wasn't the
smartest thing to do with a cop as a dad. But I kept hustlin, did some things I ain't very proud of but it made me grow so much
as a person, as a woman. It wasn't easy to step away but I found the strength within myself to get my facts straight.

I am proud of the way I changed my life around. If I continued on the path I mentioned before, God knows where I would be right
now. Now at 17, I am in college studying communication sciences. I got my mind set on a career. Even though the mountain may seem
too high to climb at times, and even if I fall down...I'ma be right back on my feet and climb to the top, bruised or shattered
but I'ma make it.

That's what I believe makes me unique. I often compare myself to a bird: locked in a golden cage, tried to escape, took some bad
turns but finally found the way out. And you can hear it in my sound. I may not have the "look" for this business but I like
causing controversy. I can put myself in any situation, I can write from any perspective. I test myself, I push myself beyond
the borders given by society. I am so versatile and am influenced by all kinds of music and by hip hop from all around the
world. I have been writing ever since I was little but I really got into rap about 2 years ago when I had finished all of the bullshit I got caught up in. I can talk about deep emotions such as love, friendship
and such, but I can just as easily speak about getting that paper in ways that aren't always as legit as they should be. I keep
things real,I ain't gonna pretend I grew up in a bad neighborhood or that I saw many awful things. I'm giving you the truth,
I'm giving you me.

It's pure, it's raw...It's DQ...The Queen of Drama...

KempoMRK 11-07-06 03:38 PM

Hey Mr Record Executive. I’m an anomaly. A strange type of hip-hop fan in that I’m everything the culture wasn’t when it started. White, young, reasonably well off and not exposed to many of the elements. Yet for whatever reason I love hip-hop. The whole enjoying it aspect started quite commonly, at least from where I live. Eminem was becoming big, the amount of exposure he was getting from the media was massive and as 11 year olds it rubbed off on myself and the people I hung with. A few of my friends got it before me, so obviously I listened to it and loved it. Christmas came, I got Eminem – The Marshall Mathers LP. Months passed. I got Dre, Snoop, 2Pac, more Eminem, D12 and so on. Then came the internet. More albums came from that. At that point it was all commercial type of stuff. Then a friend mentioned to me about underground, and how it was so much better. I practically shunned his suggestions at the time. However, then came the writing at 15.

I was just sat there on the Internet, chatting to random friends from forums. When some dude sent me a verse. He didn’t even write raps, his graphics forum was just having a random rap competition. So he’d wrote this verse and he sent me it to critique. I was like fuck this, I can do way better. I wrote the verse, it was way better. My friends told me so and he told me so. Obviously at that point I thought I was nice, yet when I tried writing another verse I came up short on the creativity side. I could barely rhyme. I had to resort to Rhymezone for most of them. And the subject was strange. I wrote about a McDonalds drive-thru. Yet because my rhyming was so forced, it went off in random directions, like how I’d fended off an offender in my house due to my past practise of kung fu. Around this time Underground rap started to delve it’s way into my collection, and that’s when I realised that what isn’t seen, is often what should be seen. Anywho, while searching Google for rap, or something similar, I came across B-Boys.com. I signed up to the forum, posted my McDonalds rap, got one reply which was negative, and become sort of disheartened. But I carried on writing and carried on text battling until it came to around November.

By November I was interested in audio. The first ever dude I battled had started doing audio and we talked all the time. He told me to just buy a mic and a mixer and get started. But being from the background I am from, that’d come across as kinda strange to people. So I waited around, and waited around, and waited around. Until it came to February. I was scouring Ebay and I saw a nice deal on a mic. I asked and bought it. I saw a mixer, I bought it. I saw a pop filter, I bought it. I saw a stand, I bought it. I saw headphones, I bought them. Then with my setup complete I started audio. Nine months on and I’ve elevated quite a lot. I’m starting to work out a style and things are coming together. My faux American accent has gone, and been replaced by a natural UK accent. My goals? Record and release an album on the internet. Yep, just on the internet. I set short term goals, so that they can be achieved easier. Once that goal is over, release an album on to the streets. Once that’s done, who knows. And at the risk of sounding cocky, I believe I’m special. Now I have to show the world, and everyone in it.

I know for a fact I would be an asset to your label for the simple fact I will not give up. I will work to the fullest of my potential to ensure I reach standards I and other people are happy with and to meet deadlines. I believe I can bring a new style and complexity of a verse with different rhyme schemes and concepts. I am sure my accent will appeal to some listeners as it is not something people hear everyday around hiphop. This will bring a fresh view on old styles adapted to meet a listeners satisfaction.

Hiphop is not a hobby to me, its a lifestyle. I find myself writing in any spare time I have and freestyling at any chance. Due to my posotive attitude towards being the best I have caught the eye of many already established rappers and grime artists. This is important because it allows for me to collaberate with a larger lange of people which in turn will give this label more exposure.

I am a man who meets targets, my latest is to be a part of this label now, and to bring a following towards my own music and to the labels other artists. I am sure my name will be known within 6 months of hard work and thats when I will work even harder to improve my style even more.

Zone Out 11-07-06 11:31 PM

Whats poppin Mr. A & R. Let me explain to you why Im crack, but before I do that, lemme tell you the basics about myself. My name's Zone Out, Im 17 years old, and Im from Detrit's westside. I've been through alot of things in my vicious city. Some things that would break the average person, but my ambition and motivation keep me going. I've been listening to rap as long as I can remember, fuck what Bone Thugs say, IM a REAL hip hop baby.

As far as my own rap style, people always say I sound like 'someone" but they cant name anyone specifically. Its because I sound like what they want to sound like, but cant. Im a very versatile emcee, plus Im still elevating. I still have to hone my skills, but for 17, Im a beast. I appeal to numerous fan bases. Im young, black, and sexy. I can get the bitches on my dick. I got niggas paying homage to me, cause my life's real, and I got young cats open cause Im not on any soft Lil Romeo or Bow Wow shit. Im 100% street. I dont follow whats hot, I follow how I want to rap, fuck what everyone else like.

I promise,with the right support and push, I could blow up! I got the heart of a lion. Nothing can stop me. This rap shit is in my blood. Im not like these other wannabe rappers who only started listening to rap a couple months ago or who seen 8 Mile and thought it was easy. Its embedded in me. Me rapping is like the 2nd coming of Jesus, its been long awaited. Niggas hate, but more niggas love me. These other cats is corny. Thats why I feel I would be perfect for your label. Holla at me.

I always have seen rap as a way for me to let out any problems I have. It's a zone of comfort for me. I usually keep to myself around others, but when it comes to rap I usually just let it all out. If I'm angry, I let the anger out, and prevent myself from doing anything stupid. It's an instant calming sensation for me. When I'm on the mic, nothing else matters to me, it's just me, the lyrics, and the mic in front of me. I rap for the passion of making music, and not like other people *cough* J SUMMERS!!!! *cough* who just do it for the money and change their style to what sells.
As far as why i'd be an asset to the company, I stay focused on what I'm doing. If I decide to do something, no matter what gets in my way I won't stop until I achieve it. Or even if I do happen to fail, I'd be able to go out knowing that I still gave it my 150%, and I'll just work on trying even harder to achieve it next time. Also, like I said before, I have the passion for music. Music is what drives me, what keeps me happy. Without it, I'd feel like I was missing a huge part of me. So you know I'll do everything in my power to keep it in my life. Also, I try to bring a unique style to the table. I stay true to myself. You'll never see me rap about gang banging, selling crack, hustling, etc. I never will claim that I'm gangsta, because I know I'm not, and I don't feel that i NEED to be one to get ahead in the rap game. It might be harder to get through, but I always have liked having to deal with big challenges.
All in all, what you see is what you get with me. I stay true to myself, have a passion for music, and I'll do everything in my power to make sure I can succeed in music. Music is everything to me, and when my love for music stops, I'll be riding dirty in a coffin in the backseat of a w/e the car they ride coffins in is. Real talk.
