Creative Streaks and Slumps

I don't know if it's just me, but somedays creatively I'm on and some day's I wanna ebay all my gear. Usually when I wanna trash my gear it jus take that one sample to build up that confidence to remind u why you do music...

I've been posting more random thoughts lately because I've been very inspired, and decided to stop producing for others and truly produce for me for a change. I was mad discouraged at first because I just came off the road completely outta the studio for full months, recording my friend in N.C. was a huge confidence builder as far as my engineering is concerned...but producing I was still questioning myself knowing I was rusty... I still made beats but no PT's for 6 months? That was punishment enough let alone being away from my first born, lil grl and wifey, jus about gave me a heart attack!!


So I decided to name my Solo Debut Album "CAN I BORROW A RECORD DEAL?!".... That was a title that came to my mind during a time when I was at my lowest. I understand Common had named his first album "Can I borrow a Dollar" but that was more than a decade ago, almost 2 and the idea was far from inspired by that album title matter fact I forgot all about it....Common's first album to me is the "Resurrection" Na mean?!


So I decided 13 songs I will pick from my 30 sumthin ideas I have down... I finally found my sound, I think some people go an entire lifetime searching. Finding your sound open's up a lot of other options like your image and most importantly your message. I've always wished all artists on the come up, the best of success because I would want them to do the same for me. SO WEATHER IN A SLUMP OR IN A STREAK ONE THINGS FOR SURE BOTH DON'T LAST FOREVER SO STAY CREATIVE AND LEARN TO RECREATE, GOOD LUCK YA'LL
