This Mixtape was a project birth out of a really difficult time in my life. After graduating from college, working for the Obama campaign in P.A. and a city council race in NYC I found myself, unemployed and semi-homeless, sleep on my mother’s sofa, hence the title of the mixtape “the recession.” I could focus on not being able to pay my student loans back, or not knowing where my next meal is coming from, or even on how ima afford my next MTA unlimited metro-card but I’m not. Life is too short to dwell on what I don’t have control over. I CAN still make MUSIC, and I CAN still READ and WRITE!!! I’m keep applying to 40 jobs a day online like I have been for the past several months and I’m going to look back at this period in my life and laugh with tears. Sure it’s suck not being able to afford to take my girl out to eat, or even the movies, but it sucked more when my parents told me to find some other place to stay during thanksgiving. This year marks a growing period of my life. Sadly I found out that it doesn’t matter that I have tons of $200-$300 jeans pair of jeans or jewelry or a stupid amount of sneakers if I have no place to call my home. I’m bless none the less, and I move beyond this current difficult time for which our president even held an online town hall meeting. I’m blessed that I’ve encounter people who have inspired me to be transparent about my convictions as well as my weakness; to be unashamed to be me, a kid from the broxn who took 7 years to graduate college because he had to pay for college, a man who received his school’s humanitarianism award upon graduation and intern (and later worked for) a presidential campaign that paid pennies in order to help change his country. I don’t regret what has happen to me because “this too shall pass.” This Mixtape is more than me spiting over some hot beat, it’s me choosing to not let my circumstance define my dreams.
