As I told you earlier in my life, I'm in Buffalo, NY now. Me and ATL are on a slight hiatus. I'll be back.
Some people may never understand my reasons as to why I decided to return to my birthplace. From what they see, Atlanta is the mecca for success. And don't get me wrong, the A is awesome, but I felt like I just needed some time to get away from my normal life. Go to a place familiar to me but also new at the same time. I feel like I can actually focus here. Get to know people who write, make music, all that. Meet new people. & just surround myself around those who understand what I want in life and vice versa. You feel? I hope so. Buffalo does have its downs, but what city doesn't? No place is perfect. And I happen to be optimistic.
Although I'm pretty sure there are striving artists in any other city or state, I notice that here in the Lo these people are hungry. And a good majority of them actually have talent. Not that "I'm in my homeboy-sister's-cousin basement studio music" I'm talking about music that can be played on radios and banged throughout speakers worldwide. This year a lot of people dropped their mixtapes and/or albums in hopes of people getting a chance to better understand their thoughts.
I dig it. I already told you that I support independent/unsigned music. Especially if it's real shit. Half of the people out here with a deal are recording wackness anyway. I look forward to what 2011 will reveal in everyone. With all this ambition and dedication, I'm sure that next year will definitely be one for the books without a doubt.
