Just killing.


Yo! I finished the mixtape with my homie Rizzy. It's 13 tracks, just waiting on the cover for that one.. it's alotta dope real life shit on there... Alotta verses & hooks from me as well. I got mad music on me, but i'm feeling shady about releasing anything.. Maybe i'll just add more songs to my bandcamp or soundcloud becuase it is a few that I want people to hear. In October i'm doing a 2-night show in Kerrville, Texas. So i'll be out there for halloween.. Which is cool becuase I don't have anybody to dress up with anyway lol. Maybe i'll wear a mask on stage, that'll be cool haha. One song i'm really excited about is the song named "Army". Which revolves around my life and being a soldier to lifes war. It means alot to me becuase I fight wars everyday.. Whether it's war within self, hunger, my babymother, my mother, my desire for death and suicide, money, my brother feeling unloved by me, or whatever it is. We all fight wars everyday. It's everyday life, every different day is a battle. Every year is tugawar. It's fairly revoloutionary as far as "Army" goes... As far as solo projects, I haven't dedicated any of the recent songs for any mixtape or anything like that. But I will put out songs when the time comes. As far as I go, i've been pulling myself in every which direction. I see inspiring things of the bigger picture of making it besides the obvious... but at the same time, i'm just tired... and sore.. I could just fly away, and start over. Without music for awhile, maybe i'll come back to it or maybe I won't. But this long overdue feeling of being away from the madness is almost approaching for me. I'll be making a decision shortly. Which might make a couple of my friends angry with me, but I gotta do what's best for me. Like I always do.

Gifts of Forgiveness - Bill Hicks

Bill Hicks about music



Even tho it's different artist today. It's still the same.. Mediocrity paraded as greatness. With rap, it's imagery. With pop, it's auto-tune, With RNB, it's looks. Shits crazy. Music has no soul, conscience or depth now. Everybodies lame for having emotion, everybodies cool, everybodies happy, what the fuck type world do we live in. Everybody is not happy. Everybody is not lame. Everybody is not sober. Everybody does not follow the rules. I don't know what's up with all this bullshit.

Teena Marie - Out on a Limb



Memories of my mom playing this loud as fuck in the living room. Now i've used it for a heartthrobbing sample song named "Born Again" Produced by Charles Hamilton.

Waddup? Vanny here... Been making music and chilling with my lil family. Sometimes I get the sense of having too many principals about rapping or music, but I gotta stay true to myself. Networking is needed for you to not die out. Sometimes I don't care to be with people. I think alotta people should work on their craft more. I take this music to heart now. I'm tryna introduce you to another level of ear compatibility... and not fallacy. True crimes of my life in lyrics have been placed in my rhymes. Criticism changed and altered me up a bit. People pay no attention to what I really say, but just want me to sound like what everybody else sound like. I just feel like if want to listen to a certain thing, listen to whoever does that thing your yearning for. Not me. I can only be who I am. And I, am nobody.. Just a person, like everybody. Same experiances, same everything. I was born with a penis, but I think with my brain now. People have no respect for themselves now, it's disrespectful to make wack music. It's disrespectful to force people to listen to it. I may seem standoffish, but i'm just not the type to beg people to listen to me. If you do, thank you.. If not, oh well. The independent album will be pushed out sometime next year. It may be my only album. As far as production goes, it may be entirely produced by me. But we'll see what happens.
