2012 was personally one of my toughest years in life. I went through a lot, but thankfully learned a great deal. I am grateful for the lessons which have prepared me for what’s ahead. I appreciate those who have helped me mentally and spiritually; you all have made a big change in who I am becoming. My art is created by what I live, and this year I lived a lot. The very good and the very bad. Regardless, I am grateful for it all and plan on executing these teachings, not only in 2013, but from here on out.
For the past couple of years I do a quick recap of what my year was like musically and share it with all my people.
This year we continue tradition.
This is just an overview, there’s a lot of details and moments I can’t capture, but I’ll try my best to go through what went down in 2012.
We started off the year where we left off 2011, which was a video recap of my 2011 release part for Life That I Chose.
1. We released Life That I Chose at the end of 2011 and had a great release party at Akin which was captured by my homie Sense Hernandez.
2. DJ Scend, Slot-A and I had a dope interview over at Chicago’s very own The Hip-Hop Project radio show in regards to the Life That I Chose EP.

3. We also started off the year with a very dope show at Double Door as we opened up for Pharoah Monch. Below you can catch some footage of us doing what we do.

Here is the first of the Shoebox Sessions Series which we will be releasing randomly in between other projects.
I came up with the idea one day when Oscar (SRNC Guitarist) and I were working on our live set with Scend at the Shoebox. Oscar was just tuning up his guitar and going through different pieces. I started writing to one of them, and told him to keep going with it. I’ve always wanted to do something along these lines; one instrument, one voice. This is how the series as a whole came together. I want this series to be a venting place for me as an artist. A place where I get to talk about what’s going on in my daily life, current events and more. I want this to be my scapegoat from all the other projects with deadlines and calendar dates. This series will happen whenever and however.
This series will also be the proper introduction of Matthew Silva from SRNC as an artist and graphic designer. He will be coming up with original art pieces for each cover of the Shoebox Sessions.
With this particular series, I wanted to talk about the Trayvon Martin situation. I’ve always been fueled to write when certain situations of injustice occur, I just never make it a point to make it so straight forward. The day after the Oscar Grant shooting, I wrote the intro to The Manifesto EP. From the lyrics I penned to the angst in my voice, the whole intro was fueled by the incident. I sometimes feel that too many artist discredit the actual incident by somewhat capitalizing on a current event; but the artist in me also understands that we have the responsibility to be the voice of the people. Some of the greatest music came from a dark place, but it gave a sense of hope and power. I want to give myself that opportunity to make music like that. I’m not going to stop myself from creating just because I feel some artist may be doing it for the wrong reasons, and I don’t want to be seen in the same light by others. Yet, who am I to judge from what place other artists art came from? Nobody. So I did what I’ve always done; followed my instinct and made the music I wanted to create. This is a genuine piece on my behalf. And I hope you receive it as just that.
