That ain’t it, bruh…

First off: Let It Go is finally streaming everywhere! Album art and all that haha. It’s also gonna be on Practice Hours, so it’s nice getting this outta the way.

This was definitely one of the weeks of all-time. Have I used that line already? Anyways…

Practice Hours is all mixed! The tentative release date is Halloween OOOOhhhhhoOOOOooOOO. Honestly, it’s only because the 31st is a Friday haha. In the meantime: I need to prep some video content and get the album cover ready. Not sure if this is a streaming release because I was shooting for a mixtape vibe, but we’ll see. Beyond that, life has been the same ol’. Raiders got WHUPPED yesterday which was comforting to watch; with all the chaos going on in the world, it’s nice to see some things stay the same. I would’ve lost my mind by now if I expected anything different.

THAT SAID.

Tbh, lately I’ve been using some negative feelings as motivation. I’m being overlooked for certain opportunities while watching the people around me get looks. Nobody owes me a damn thing, but it’s hard not to feel a type of way. It sucks to see a flyer and think bruhhh I’d fit right into that lineup and kill my set. Maybe I’m being sensitive? I can feel myself entering “fuck everybody” mode. I don’t usually operate that way, so this might be a sign to take a smaaaall step backwards. Not from creating, but from being around the same spaces and people. In other words: I’ve been putting too many eggs into one social basket and need to diversify. I can’t spend this much time and energy trying to ingratiate myself with one community if I’m not getting the outcomes I want.

Maybe that’s something this next project will help me get over. Put this new music out, move my focus about 5 miles in any direction, and get a breath of fresh air. If I totally botch a performance at least it’ll be in front of new eyes. Plus, it gives me an excuse to whip out the old tunes. But wherever I perform next, y’all are gonna see and hear it haha

Here’s to controlling the things I CAN control. *toasts to no one in particular*
