What's Holding You Back?
 
What's Holding You Back from making it in the music industry? Do You want to go underground? I personally want to go commercial, cause I know how to dumb down lyrics for a party song for the people, and have em still like it. But, what's holding you back from making it?

Me, I know it's cause I'm still in High School right now, got 2 jobs, and balancing the music with all that. And it's my last year, so it's harder on me to focus 100% on music. But, if I would've been recording 2 yrs ago, I wouldve had maddddd exposure. I know once I get outta high school, in march and have alot of time to devote to music, I'll make it!!

What's holding you back???

Well, that means you not really serious about it! Honestly, I thought long and hard about this for many months, and I'm dead serious about this music. I made a plan for when I get outta high school, and I'm sticking to it, Lord Willing. I talked to God about it, and I'm just gonna grind. I'm going in blind as fuck, but God will guide me, feel me?! Friday, I just finished the recording part of my cd, now I'm boutta get it Legally Copywrited Thursday, and then Gather up some change and get it Professionally Mastered in San Diego. Then wen they send it back, in plastic and all, I'm set up a site to sell there, and promote the shit outta it on tha radio and shit. My teacher brother works for the popular radio station up here in sac...and what do you kno..my teacher loves my music..so he said he can get me on there, interview before my album dropped, and music played! So, just my little connects I got going on, I'm hanging on tight to them. I got some club DJ's connects, a old dude, (my teacher) who does Jazz, and worked with alot of professional jazz muscians...It's really about who you know that wont flake on you, that can network with you. Once your music falls into the right hands, your life starts! And that's what I'm knowing is going to happen. Right now, I'm networking hard with alot of people, who are trustworthy, and who aren't flakes.

I think no money for equipment is a bad excuse. Just network with people who got good equipment. And, Or, get a job, or slang to get money! Something.
