Dynasty 83 Records Update

My Last Post was about 8 months ago so an update is long overdue.

     I am currently working with Dynasty 83 Record’s Sinister AKA Dope Boy Magic on his upcoming mixtape “The Barfather”. The Project is about 75% complete and we expect to release the mixtape early next year. For those who enjoyed Sinister’s previous work you will be excited about this new project. It’s the first time we are working together and the chemistry is right, the blue print is refreshing and the foundation of this project revolves around creative freedom with no rules. I am really excited about this one so stay tuned.
      Now let’s talk about “N”. It’s been a decade and I haven’t released anything with exception to a few tracks here and there on a mixtape level. I literally have over a thousand instrumentals and close to 100 songs written. So why haven’t I released anything? What am I waiting for? Where are my albums? Well… there are several reasons but the main one is “a good artists knows when to stop” and I haven’t mastered that yet. I keep tweaking tracks and I never feel like they are ready even though everyone in my circle thinks I am crazy for not pushing my music out.  Well, things are about to change. I always said I am going to drop an album and I will, not because I feel obligated to but because I want to give back to game that gave me so much. Music saved me and made me. In 2014 I plan on selecting my favourite songs to re-record so that I can finally drop an album. My goal is not to be a rapper as over the years I have fallen in love with both producing and artist development. I love seeing coals turn to diamonds. Me releasing an album is simply a personal for me type of thing. 2014 is going to be a busy and exciting year.

People Who Inspire Me...

    More than anything, the people who inspire me the most are the everyday people who live honest lives and do the little things daily to make the world a better place. My drive to be the best man I can be is fueled by my wife, parents, sisters and friends. I am motivated by people with ambition and who never give up. I am inspired by people who are completely selfless and constantly give all that they can for those in need. Volunteers are my true hero's. Whether they leave their home and careers to build schools in war torn countries or volunteer once a year at an annual food drive their only incentive is to help. I am inspired by creative minds and free thinkers. Below are just a few of the many many people that have inspired me. Stay close. 1.
