Less than a month to go....

And I'm sitting here reflecting on the fact that after raising the first two for the past 14 years, its about to be diaper changing time again.  today was the baby shower.  it turned out great, despite the torrential rains.  And just as I am getting ready for the birth of a new life, Me and my group have given birth figuratively to our debut album.  

I don't think Either Drew or myself are the type of guys to give anyone a hard sell of any product.  With our music, we hope people get it based off its originality and lyricism, and wordplay.  Having finalized the artwork just yesterday, I am now ordering CD's en masse for review and submission to critical journals.  I will be giving away many Cd's to people i know who are fans of hiphop, but my real hope is to become a blip on the radar by way of critical reactions.  

Meanwhile we are always tossing about new ideas, and beginning new song projects.  By now I must have over 500 instrumental tracks in the motif at the Hatback studios alone, not to mention the tracks I've made here at my home studio.  It's hard sometimes reaffirming that the way I want to do things, though slow and tedious, is full of potential rewards.  Its a gamble sure, but since we are the ones making everything from the Instrumentals to the lyrics, to the album covers, the risk is slight.  I think i can speak for Drew when I say, I just want our music to be heard. Money is great but being heard is where its at.

Casey Shanee Johnson is coming.  She's kicking and turning and reacting to all of the sounds that she hears through the thin walls of the womb.  For her, and for the two I have been so blessed to raise all these years, I remain focused on creating what's in my heart and giving my art my all.  At the end of he day there is no more powerful gift a parent can give their children than an example to model their own lives from.  I pray they absorb and believe that happiness always lies in the pursuit of that which we love.
