It's Only Cold in Denver


After you're gone, there will be someone else there to inspire the music...





D-Major delivers a uniquely smooth production for another introspective and lyrically laced Winter track entitled "It's Only Cold in Denver", a record from the forthcoming release of Cypher Clique's 3rd project in a calendar year,    The District ...







Couple random highlights before I release the guest blog;





  • We can't get mad at the little shit Johnny Manziel does when Lawrence Taylor did coke with a 16 year old prostitute
  • The pettiest shit I do with my life nowadays is randomly text one of my exes "I know what you've been doing out here, I've got my ear to the streets..."
  • Your military money can't save you once those club lights come on and the real games begin
  • After you're gone, there will be someone else there to inspire the music
  • Some of you have been living with your parents since the 20th century
  • (think about that last one for like 4-5 seconds)
  • Your relationship is so strong because your girlfriend  comes to Dewey twice a week in the summer

“I’ll never get shitted on because I’ll never care. Once you start treating me like you are aware of these things everything we do and say will be a lot realer.” 

Until recently I always thought of his logic as absurd. Now, I sit here in Aww of how innovative he really was. 

There once was a time were snapchat and screenshots never existed, a time of the sauré.. Many beautiful women from all over the state would rally, in hopes to sip with a few of the top 10 men of Delaware. One in which, I would never forget. He was the mastermind behind it all.. Only a few were in on his plans, and the rest of us were just “putty”. I was brought to him and his men by a green eyed woman in who’s beauty seared through their souls. She had the power to isolate the weak and give them will to do what ever her heart desired; they called her “The Chosen One”.
My first encounter with part of the supremacy (not to be mistaken with the the top 10) and their chosen one was an honor I had literally slept on. They had all sat in a circle and conversed of many things… Their commentary was raw and uncut; No one I’ve ever met had spoke of such heresy. I quickly identified the voice, the man who spoke of such obscure things, they had called him Mic Anthony. Mic Anthony had the gift to speak what most people thought but feared to say. After an intriguing hour passed, I was put in a deep sleep with the herbal medicine they had provided. Not having much memory of that night, I thought to myself I must surround myself with these people!

A month or so went by and the chosen one had brought me to an event where I was to be introduced to a few more members of the supremacy. Not many that I didn’t recognize before stood out, but he did. He was to be identified as the record holder, and later as the mastermind behind it all. He had much sway over the group at the time and so he approached me with questions, questions that would determine if I was worthy to be around him and his men. I had a pure mentality that the record holder admired; he was so pleased that he gave me the web key where I would learn more about the supremacy and their past. I had learned that they had been hosting soirées for many years, and so a revolution referred to as “The Bush Administration” came about. The record holder never went into great detail about this dark time, and so I don’t know very much but what has came from it. Which brings me to rule number 

1. Monogamy isn’t for everybody                                                                        
Eventually I got to spend time with the record holder with out the sears permission. One of the very first things he had expressed was that he would never marry. He said that he’s seen someone get cheated on every weekend since The Bush Administration. At that moment I decided that we would never see eye to eye and to steer clear of his pursuits.

Unlike traditional scribes, the record holder was rarely ever silent. You could always find him competing for the rooms attention with Mic Anthony. As I sat on the kitchen counter top silently, I took a drink of the infamous Carlos de Rossi listening to the two of them go back and forth. I then looked over to see the scribe withdrawal, and suddenly the voice had filled the room. The record holder then took the opportunity to approach me for the very first time after our initial meeting. With his back blocking off the rest of the function he had asked how I had been, I responded nonchalantly “good” still engrossed in the voice’s discussion. Taking the initiative once again, the scribe had struck up a more stimulating conversation branching off one that had already been discussed. Not even five minutes had passed before the Sears green eyes had started to light up. She had deaded our conversation quickly and we all returned our focus. “Stay away from him”, she whispered.

Months had went passed and the leaves that were once so colorful had fallen and turned to dust as the ice cold winter was approaching. 

Disregarding the Sears warning, the scribe and I had formed a close bond. He had asked me to make an appearance at the upcoming soirée, and so I had asked the sear to accompany me. The chosen one happily declined my offer for she had made many enemies during the bush administration and foresaw the night ending disastrous. 

2. Too many bitches can definitely be a problem                                                                  
“If you run out of shit to talk about with bitches or someone hand them a drink or say take a shot.”
I don’t remember much, but I remembered Princess Leah welcoming the guest at the door. She was sweet and cheerful (as a princess should be) and had a glass of carlos in hand. I and my plus one had walked in to the soiree to see an array of dress. “Is this a soirée or an ugly christmas party?” my guest I had asked, but before I could answer Mic Anthony came over on a mission and handed us a drink......

The Wave (prod. Dope Boi Beatz)


Most people don't want to be great... 
But that's okay


Listen to "The Wave" by Cypher Clique on soundcloud now

We've decided to close out 2015 with one more song for you all. This is another track produced by Dope Boi Beatz (producer of Bryson Tiller's Don't). I have the first verse. I promise to never stop going in... I've just always wanted to say that. It was sincere though. Go check out the new track on soundcloud. It will be on iTunes, Spotify, ect later this week.


It's been a beautiful year...

I'm one of the last of my peers that wants to be great. These other guys are washed like laundry mats. I think there's a  misconception on the concept of being washed. Being washed doesn't just pertain to not having females or not partying as much as you used to. My definition of being washed is being complacent. Ok. We're not 20 anymore. But we're not 45 either. Therefore complacency is the last thing on my mind.

Random PSA
  • If you subtweet me on the daily please don't DM me asking for feedback on your shitty music. That's very weird.
  • Call me when we can start exchanging Retweets for show money. 
  • Call me when we can exchange soundcloud plays for Spotify revenue.
  • Only compete with people that have passports 
  • This next project will come with a story
    • The story will be incredible
    • Possibly even more lit than the GSOT story
    • It feels good to add stories to our projects
    • It's the last thing we've done creatively that hasn't been bit by the local rappers

Who do you love? Are you for sure?


I don't love these women more than music.
I don't love my part time job more than music.
I don't love video games more than music.
I don't love drinking at McGlyyn's more than music.
And I probably don't love you more than music




Next Cypher Clique show is January 14th in Philly




Back in 2014 I told yall "All I ever wanted to do was change the world". 



Fuck the world. 

Half is brainwashed by the TV... The other half is brainwashed by society and government.


The very few that make it through and live for themselves find an indescribable level of self worth and inner peace. There's something beautiful about waking up everyday with personal goals to get done. There's also something beautiful about accomplishing things you were told couldn't happen...

I could be petty and list all of my 2015 accomplishments but then this blog would be about 5 pages longer. I know how hard it is for some of you to read so I'll spare you the struggle. Just know that all the work and ambition from this year will be carried into 2016.

The Wave & the Fall Back

I'm going to teach you how to get the girl of your dreams... You can thank me later...



instagram.com/eg_all_in


Ever since the critically acclaimed "Love the Universe" album was released a lot of things have been making me nervous.  I've been getting a lot of strange texts from people I don't know and hugs from people that used to hate me.  This Cypher Clique brand is a movement and we've got a plan to put Delaware on the map so most of this was expected, but I'm going to take time from our regularly scheduled musical takeover to break down a little something for the fans.



https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/love-the-universe/id991045470


I told y'all a couple blog posts ago that 2015 was going to be the year of forever.  But this here is something y'all can learn and master for the 2016 season.

It's a little move called "The Wave & the Fall Back":

The Wave:

I understand that trying to attract the attention of women is very hard for most of you, which explains all the anguish and embarassment you go through on all of these social networks you should have deleted years ago.  But in order to get the girl of your dreams, first, you must hit her with The Wave.  There are three parts to the wave. 
Part 1:
1.  Lit Romney - the first time you see her in person, whether planned or unplanned, whether at a party or in the public, everything about you has to be classic.  The way you walk, talk, how you wear your clothes (notice I didn't say "what" you wear.  Buying expensive clothes is a waste of time if you don't know how to put outfits together.  Actually, buying expensive clothes is a waste of time anyway).  The way you carry yourself has to stand out and it starts with just being comfortable and being confident.  Keep these points in mind:
  • Dress differently (don't ever wear something you've seen someone else wear... ever)
  • Act confidently (nothing anyone says should create any emotion inside of you)
  • Walk tall
  • Never be in a rush to get anywhere (even if you're late)
  • Most importantly: look people in the eyes (I can't believe I have to tell people to do this but social networks have ruined the way most of you communicate)
Part 2:
2.  Accomplishments - No matter who you are or what you do, the girl of your dreams wants to know that you have goals and you are a master of something... anything.  If not she'll leave you for someone who does.  This usually has nothing to do with your job or the college you go to (the richest people I've met in my life never went to college).  This has everything to do with your hobbies and passions.  Everyone is the best at something.  Find your something.  (and if your something is a video game scroll to the top of your life's web browser and click that little "x" in the corner).  Once again, keep these points in mind:

  • Never, ever, ever.... ever brag about yourself (accomplishments speak for themself)
  • Be proud of who you are (if you're swaggiest caddy in the golf game, she should see it in your eyes)
  • Keep your accomplishments away from social networks
  • Keep your business away from social networks
  • Keep your life away from social networks
  • Last but not least: look people in the eyes (my dad used to smack the shit out of me whenever I would shake someone's hand sitting down or not look people in the eyes when I talked.  I'm about to start doing the same to some of you)


instagram.com/eg_all_in

Part 3:
3.  The Number Grab - Alright so... my 2 homies at the beach (you know who you are) are gonna be tight that I'm sharing this with you but I'll take this part down from the blogspot if we get too many viewers.  This right here is a fuckin' gem we've been using for years to get girls' numbers.  It's very simple.  And it works almost 95% of the time (I don't think it's never not worked for me but my brother like a Wayan used it the other night at The Rusty Rudder and the girl wasn't having it.  I cried laughing).  Very, very simple.

  • After she has noticed you walk, talk, and interact with people as the Guy (*see Swaggy McPeterson ^^),
  • & she has some type of insight into your accomplishments^ (if you're at a party, you better either be dancing or the DJ),
  • you just walk up to her with no words, look her directly in the eyes, and hand her your phone with the number keypad screen open.  Works every time if you have handled the first two parts.

  • After this you can either make small talk or head directly to...

 The Fall Back:
The Fall Back is something I have seen a lot of people fucking up since high school.  It's really disgusting the way some of you go about attracting women, which is the reason I've seen someone get cheated on every weekend since I graduated from Caesar Rodney (the greatest high school in the state of Delaware).  I understand that trying to attract the attention of women is very hard for most of you, mostly because a lot of you needed fathers growing up.  Not all, but most.  Once again, there are three parts to the Fall Back.



Part 1:
1.  The Wait - I know a lot of your "self help" books or online dating manuals tell you rejects to start talking to a girl as soon as you get her contact info but that's weird and creepy, so relax.  Just wait one whole day after you pull the "Number Grab" and text her in the morning.  (So if you get the number Friday night, text her Sunday morning - Saturday night, text her Monday morning) And this is exactly what you say... trust me on this...

"Hey you, it was good seeing you the other night.  I hope you didn't get into anymore trouble after I left? -Your Name" 
  • Okay, it may sound corny but it works EVERYTIME. (no matter if shes black, white or Asian)
  • They will always respond to the text, no matter what. (unless there's a problem w/ your wave)
  • It's important that you text in the morning because you don't want her to think you're a bum that sleeps in everyday (and if you do sleep in everyday, you are a bum)
  •  Give her sometime to respond, if she doesn't text back, hit her the next day with the "aww, am I really that awful).  At that point they'll either tell you they have a boyfriend or that they forgot to text you back.
  • This has only NOT worked for me one time in my life, and it was a Romanian chick I met in Ocean City who didn't know how to work her new phone.  She's in love with me now.
  • Don't slander any of her old flings (don't even bring up her relationship history at all brah)
 Part 2:
2. The Conversation - Keep it short and simple.  Don't send her anymore than 4-5 texts without either suggesting that you meet up again or asking what she's doing that weekend.  You don't want to be her new text buddy, that's the fastest way to the friend zone.  You wanna seem like you are about your business.  Keep these things in mind.
  • Texting sucks. Talking on the phone is better. (talking in person is the best)
  • Don't text back too fast (let her breathe, more than likely there are other thirst lords in her phone falling head first into the friend zone)
  • Don't share social networks (if you're like me, you don't want the girl of your dreams to have constant updates and pictures... and snapchat stories.. of your life. At least until you get your shit together)
  • Make sure you bring up your passions and hobbies and ask about hers.  (once again, if your passion/hobbies are video games, just turn your phone off and go play in traffic)
  • No ex-boyfriend slander. At all. (no one likes this guy. grow up, plus I doubt you really want to know all the shit she's done in her past) 


Part 3:
3. The Fall Back - This is the part that most of my peers fuck up and it's hilarious/disgusting.  This is also the part where most of my homies swoop in and steal/borrow your girlfriend (not me though, that's my old bad habit).  At some point in every new relationship you HAVE to give her the chance to chase you - to look a little thirsty.  This is the only way you can start a respectful and two way relationship where both people feel comfortable communicating their feelings in the future.  At some point after you first meet and introduce yourself to her, you've got to fall back. This means give her some time to herself.  Don't answer all of her texts. (Light skinned chicks hate/love not being texted back).  And if you're really wavy, my favorite move is this:  text her asking 2 questions, what her favorite food is and when's the next time she's free? Then, never take her on this fictional date, or even respond to her answers... (not everyone can pull this move off though, you've gotta really be on your shit).  Remember:

  • If you're gonna be with this girl, you want her to know that she is her own person
  • The Fall Back helps her fall in love with you more (girls love what they can't have)
  • This is the time where you let her choose you, b/c you've been choosing since the start 
  • Make sure you don't slander anyone in the process. Spread positivity, not hate. 


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



You can follow whatever procedure you want when trying to attract the perfect girl, but the next time your crush tells you she's spending the weekend in Dewey and you don't hear from her for days, you're gonna wish you paid attention.  Stay confident. Stay strong.  And remember that you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Too Clean For Me ft Marty (prod. Downtown Music)

Girls fall in love with us every summer...

Sometimes we fall in love with them as well...


Too Clean For Me 



[Pardon my absence. Everyone's been acting strange as hell as Firefly gets closer. I had to fall back to get my business in order and shake the leeches.]


"Summer is coming, know you can feel it"

It's starting to look like summer out here. The women are getting badder and my shit talk is A1. It was only right to match "Love The Universe" with the vibe of the summer. Love The Universe is gonna be the soundtrack you listen to with your gf and your side chic. Love The Universe is gonna be what you listen to on the way to Dewey for the next few months.

I really just want every pretty girl to pre-order "Love The Universe" - Mic Anthony




I'm not new to this

There's this misconception that I'm on the local come up. NAW. I've been out here since 07. We were out here off rip. Me and Erich were the only Caesar Rodney rappers in the class of 09. We went to the biggest high school in the state by the way... We were literally performing in college shows in high school while you were experimenting with hard drugs. The Mattress has more downloads than your last mixtape. The Mattress dropped before Drake's first album dropped... I don't want to say I'm better than most rappers in Delaware. But I'm definitely ahead... by a lot

Half the women say I'm humble... The other half say I'm cocky... Most of them text me

I can't stress to you guys enough on how cold I am. It seems like only the closest to me get to see the coldness. I don't need love. I need results. Everyone wants shit but haven't done shit. Why am I the only one that doesn't miss people? How sick am I? And does that make me a bad person? I feel real good right about now. In less than a month Cypher Clique makes history...

Welcome to the Spring



Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo spring officially starts tomorrow and I decided to hit the good people with a blog. The very very very next blog will probably have a pre-order link for the next cypher clique project dropping mid-June (and free tank tops... We're givin' out free clothes all summer.)


[I wrote all of this on a note and left it on my mom's nightstand next to this baby picture.




I am the greatest student to ever graduate from a graduate research program at the university of Delaware.

I'm the first student to never buy a physical copy of a textbook during a graduate research program at the university of Delaware

I'm the swaggiest student in the history of graduate research at the university of Delaware.

I'm the first student to inexplicably move from Newark to Dewey Beach in the middle of a graduate research program at the university of Delaware, 

I'm the only student to ever take the summer off and work for other graduate research programs during my time in a graduate research program at the university of Delaware.

I thought about Camden, NJ everyday as a graduate student at the university of Delaware.

I proved to every one on the coast that I know more Mathematics than anyone should be able to handle while at a graduate program at the university of Delaware.

I was the only former collegiate athlete in any of my graduate research classes at the university of Delaware.

I'm the waviest Graduate student in the history of the university of Delaware. 







...



At the bottom of the note I wrote:]


Mom I love you,

But there's no way in hell I'm walking at another graduation

- Erich "

Firefly Music Festival 2015

So the poster for The Fire Fly Music Festival just leaked onto the internet last night... Somewhere in between Paul McCartney, Snoop Dogg, Kid Cudi, Charlie XCX, and DJ Mustard you see Cypher Clique on the poster... The same Cypher Clique niggas that used to get slandered by future heroine addicts in high school. The same Cypher Clique niggas that lost average looking girlfriends because they decided to make music instead of seeing Twilight movies.


I've been on my shit since 2007. YOU NEVER HAD A REAL DREAM OR GOAL! YOU NEVER HAD A PASSION! YOU NEVER WILL! DON'T QUESTION THE LANE OF A VISIONARY! STICK TO BEING MEDIOCRE AND LET THE DREAMERS SCULPT THE FUTURE!


No matter how much you accomplish people are always going to downplay the accolades. I'll probably be the only person you ever know personally that performs at Fire Fly. I'm definitely the first. This is history. I hope to see you out there as I make history. You were gonna go out there and trip off random drugs anyways... You might as well witness history while you put chemicals in your body.


I hope you kids see the poster and get inspired. Over the past 6 years I've been doubted by everyone. But none of the people that doubted were ever factors in the music. Ryan Young has been addicted to adderall since we were 14 so his opinion on my music never mattered. Somewhere between graduation and the 100th house party most of you lost your the vision... I never expected the bitches to see my vision. I call them bitches because they never saw the ambition/potential of a young man working towards something daily. Instead they suck off unemployed drug dealers and AWOL army men.

TWO YEARS AGO DUSTIN TOLD ME THAT I WOULD NEVER PERFORM AT FIREFLY... "FIRE FLY IS WAY TOO BIG OF AN EVENT FOR CYPHER CLIQUE TO GET ON THE BILL". I'M SLEEP BRUH. MOST OF YOU ARE JUST TOO SMALL MINDED TO EVER SEE THE REAL POSSIBILITIES.


5 years ago I drove to suburban Pennsylvania to perform in a show with this white kid named Mac Miller. I went by myself because my group members didn't want to take off from their part time jobs (they've gotten new part time jobs since then). I drove up to Pennsylvania by myself and performed in front of 3,000 people. SO WHY THE FUCK DOES ANYONE THINK THEIR OPINION MATTERS TO ME? If you've never been to a show your opinion matters about as much as black lives to white cops. I'm sleep on your whole existence.


Don't compare me to any other artists in this state. I've performed in the most hip-hop shows ever as far as Delaware artists goes. I never performed at Circles because I'm better than that. The only time I ever rapped in Milford is when I opened up for Diggy. I'll never perform at The Dover Urban Music Fest again. They didn't even have three mics for the most important hip-hop group in Delaware history. Google your name and then google "Cypher Clique". This local love is cool but there's a whole world to explore. I just live here.


If music ever felt like your side chic... I hope it never shows you love and you rot in a pool of mediocrity forever. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. While you were poppin acid and having sex with ugly people I was focused on a goal. My goal never changed. I NEVER FELL TO THE PRESSURES OF SOCIETY. I NEVER FELT LIKE I HAD TO JOIN THE MILITARY. I ALWAYS LOVED MUSIC MORE THAN YOU LOVE YOUR GIRLFRIEND. I ALWAYS LOVED MUSIC MORE THAN YOU LOVE YOUR LIFE.


In less than 5 years I managed to be on a festival with one of The Beatles... In less than 5 years you gave up on your dream and joined a government that hates black people.



Don't worry about me bro. Focus on your own problems. All of my problems are good problems. Like what am I going to wear on stage? Which one of my ten clothing sponsors should I give the honor of lacing me in new gear for my set? What am I going to say to Charlie XCX if we cross paths? I have a small squad of supporters/team players/dreamers/plugs. I'm sleep on most people I've met in the last 6 years. Yall came around because I had beer and bitches. That's cool but there was always way more going on. On June 18th, I'm going to perform at one of the largest music festivals on the east coast in my hometown and continue to do what I've been doing since 2007. Living the lifestyle I always wanted to live.

If you've ever been to a party at one of these addresses you owe me the favor of buying you and your boyfriend a ticket to see me perform in front of thousands of people at Fire Fly:

298 Trafalgar Drive Dover, DE
208 N. State Street Dover, DE
137 Hidden Creek Way Magnolia, DE


"On June 18th, Cypher Clique will become the first Delaware Hip-Hop act to ever perform at FireFly Music Fest in Dover, Delaware. This premiere music experience boasts of over 30,000 fans over a 4 day span. To celebrate this opportunity, Cypher Clique has decided to release a new project and short story entitled "Everyone Is Dangerous". This 9 track offering consists of production from the likes of D-Major, Tribe Beats, and Ali!. Head over to EveryoneIsDangerous.com and read the interactive novel that coincides with music from the project.


I am an inspiration.
I am one of the top 25 faces of Delaware.
and I am one of the greatest thinkers of my generation...

Winter Songs




;It's winter break but back in school she didn't learn much, she wants to drink,


but see, at home she doesn't work much...

******************************************************

                ***************************************************************






Let's start off with a couple facts:

- I think I'm the only one openly admitting that I don't want to be in a relationship right now
- we're too young to not think we're iconic
- Cypher Clique is considered the most impactful music conglomerate in Delaware because of its consistent performances and abundance of new material
- spanish women never get old
- You sat on Call of Duty for 3 years after high school and let life pass you by... then you joined the military thinking this would fix things, but after a 4 year stint saluting the flag and chasing white men around old dirt roads, you look down to find yourself on a plane back to the same place you grew up in to face the same problems you were facing when you first picked up that x-box controller...
- we haven't even gotten started yet...





[ if for some reason, the sound cloud media player does not open on your phone, follow this link to access the song:

Cypher Clique x Tribe Beats - Winter Songs (prod. Tribe Beats) by CypherClique https://soundcloud.com/cypherclique/cypher-clique-x-tribe-beats-winter-songs-prod-tribe-beats on #SoundCloud ]


baby, You Wintertime Cold...



Dover, Delaware we've been at it for a long time.  My whole life practically.  Remember how wild some of these winters have gotten? From all of the New Year's bangers, to birthday parties, to the Christmas day Mike and I spent with 6 different women in the same Pink House on 208 north state street...





Don't let this town ruin you..

[And if you're pillow talking with the women that are screwing you, just know that she gon tell another nigga when she through with you..]
--------------------------------------



Regardless of the genre, people are noticing that we're making some of the best music in Delaware right now.  And there's so much more coming.  There's duckets of new music, videos, tour dates, Cypher Clique clothing, events, and blog posts coming early next year but the song you're reading about now is different.  This is a Winter Song...







In the winter the city slows down.
Most of the people our age have been in school or working full time for the past few months.
In the winter, dance and day parties are replaced by bonfires and smoke sessions.
As complicated and messy as they get, relationships thrive in the wintertime where Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Valentine's Day dominate everyone's Instagram news feed.
Every winter brings with it  new opportunities to stand out.
New opportunities to discover yourself.
New opportunities to takeover. 



_________________________________________________________________________________

THE SUMMER'S OURS, THE WINTER TOO --

"top down in the winter, that's what winners do"...


*brah, Corey made the newspaper on Christmas.. who does that?


BIG shoutout to my big brother Corey Crawford -

set goals. chase dreams. don't give up. inspire others. be great. shit is easy.











































the Cypher Clique and TRIBE.BEATS have collided (as they always do) to write, engineer, record, sing, mix, and create a beautiful song that Delaware can toast to during the winter.









Because the summer's mine...

Rakim In 88 (prod. Ali!)

HotNewHipHop.com Exclusive 

It's about to be a brand new year. As I reflect on the last few months I realize the possibilities are endless.


Now more than I ever I think I make the best music in the entire state. I made that decision at some point during this past summer. 

More and more gets achieved every year. I love progress and accolades. They make you appreciate the hard work you put into your craft... I feel myself getting more distant from certain people that I've known for years. "New shit don't excited me no more". From this point everyone involved in this brand needs to focus and lock in more than ever. We opened for Dom Kennedy and Sir Michael Rocks in a 12 month span. We went to Atlanta and represented as one of two acts from the State. 2015 is all about expanding on everything. Canada is just a flight away. Texas is just a flight away. Travel while you can. It's a very beautiful part of life. 

I'm really going to start stressing how nice I am at this shit. 


A couple days ago someone approached me and told me I talk a lot of shit. I told him I only talk about things I'm good at so if I'm talking shit it's 100% factual. Being humble was something we used to do in 2011/2012. A lot has happen since then. It'd be a lie for me to not feel myself in this current local climate. I see a lot of part time rappers wasting studio time and internet storage space. The basis of anything is consistency. If you lack that your whole shit is jacked. Dedication mixed with preparation brings elevation. If your heart's not in it get out the way. There's no time to waste.





I promise to never stop going in (word to my Rich Homie named Quan). There's a lot of music coming out in these next few months. Happy songs, sad songs, love songs, cut songs. These tracks are just the soundtrack to the life of a bachelor. Listen to it and you might learn something.






I'm from Delaware...
 Yall hate it here? 
Do you hate the state or do you hate yourself?
