My mixtape release, is just hours away. Wow. There are really no words to explain this journey, this ride that I've been on. I wanna thank everyone that made this possible, as well as all my fans who are so receptive of this passion of mine. I hope you all enjoy. Please give me feedback after you listen.

-Your Welcome,

I Am Young.

One day I got into an argument wit my mom, and she asked me, why do I do the things that I do....and I couldnt give her a reason...it was like i was speechless, not able to give her one thought as to why I cant get any A's or, why I stay out so late, or why I love girls wit amazing booty's, and if they're smart thats cool...doode!...I couldn't give her nothing....so I sat and thought it out and it hit me.
I AM YOUNG.
I do NOT follow status quo, because following is a sign of weakness, and I am not weak.
I AM YOUNG.
lost in my own world of myspace comments, cable television, Sb dunks, and frivolous wants.
I AM YOUNG.
I take no time to make bad decisions, but I take all the time in the world to make good ones, I tend to dislike uppity neighborhoods, but I stay in the hood ones. I am a Top Ramen digesting, Apple product investing, child of the 80's...don't take me for a fool, for fool's lives is what i'll take if they cross me,
I AM YOUNG.I speak my mind because its not like it has a mouth of it's own, I leave trash where I want because another candy bar wrapper on the sidewalk is not going end the earth anytime soon.
I AM YOUNG.they profile me wherever I go, and yet I don't care, I wear my jeans down low, as that lady holds her purse close, I stare at her from under the brim of a fitted, I take more than I am givin..
I AM YOUNG. I shoot all my pictures at perfect myspace or facebook arm length, and I never wear my cap straight, I have memorized the rotation of the videos that play on BET now, and don't ask me how but I could probably go a week eating nothing but cookies.
I AM YOUNG. My perfect day would be dancing the night away, and I know all the new ones, and the old for that matter, I could imitate and demonstrate till my legs are sore, but show me a cutie, and for her I'll dance some more.
I AM YOUNG. I could probably quote 70 different episodes of Chappelle Show, and I know every single joke in For What It's Worth, and I wouldn't dare get up and touch the TV if the remote don't work,
I AM YOUNG. My persona is what sets me apart from anybody over 25, I live and die by the code set by the idol we call Rufio...see in Hook , he told us to never grow up, and to stay forever young....hmm...well hell I'm still a kid..right?...
I AM YOUNG.

Up All Night

I want this to be everybody's party song for the weekend! Download and listen, and then make sure you comment on the post and let me know what you think!

Craziness!!!

Hey everyone!

So "Up All Night" comes out tomorrow, ands for some reason, I'm sad. Everything is going soooooo fast! I don't want this ride to ever end. It seems like yesterday that I came up with this concept for a mixtape, and now I am one week away from it's release.

In between acting, and writing screenplays, I write spoken word poetry. As a thank you to my supporters, you will get some poetry along with the mixtape as bonus content. Also, check back here for updates and videos and poetry and more! The week leading up to the release will be full of good stuff. =]

Thank you guys for all your support!

I didn't expect to post everyday, but this is amazing!

Within 24 hours of "Light Up" being released, it has hit #1 on the tweetmysong.com charts! I want to thank you all for your support. It means a lot and it erases any doubts I have about my music being accepted by this industry.

All I can say is, you think this track was hot? Not only is this mixtape blazin hot, but what till you see what I have in store for my next mixtape ;)

"In The First Hour"

I honestly can't thank you guys enough for the support! It's only been an hour, and I am so excited from the results! I can't wait to give you guys more songs to listen to. Make sure you check back often, there will be goodies along the way. =]

"Light Up"

Hello all. Wow, what a journey this has been. It’s been a while since I did any music. It has been even longer that I did any music that was just me. I cant say that it was easy to hop back into-it wasn’t. But I received so much love and encouragement from friends and family, that I felt like I would be letting more than just myself down, if I didn’t pursue music once again.

One thing I want to get off my chest is this: This is in no way, shape or form, a diss to Drake. He put out a (honest opinion) tolerable hip-hop-ish album that I will be listening to for years to come. I wanted to include beats from his new album exclusively because I felt like everybody was going to love his album, that it was going to be the hot new ish on the block. So why not reinvent something fresh, hot and new? Why take a smorgasbord of songs that nobody is listening to and turn them into worthy experiments of mine? No need. No, instead I would take what everybody is calling the “best”, and make it “better”. This is how “You’re Welcome” was born.

You’re Welcome isn’t just a play of words of Drakes album title. It also serves as an invitation into this side of my life. A lot of you may only know me as an actor. I’ve been a lyricist just as long. I didn’t say the word “rapper” on purpose. Some people, were born rappers. I believe I was born a poet. Over the years, I have evolved into a rapper. I am still learning, and honing my craft.

I didn’t want to take Drake’s whole album, and give it a do-over. Honestly, it was just plain unnecessary. So I took five of my favorites. Mixtapes are usually longer, I know. But for this first dive back into the pool of rap, I decided doing only one type of stroke was all I needed to get to the deep end of the pool (metaphor! Lol). So I gave you guys, the audience, just a taste of what’s to come on future projects. I will be doing a full fledged mixtape due out in the heart of the fall, and if all goes well - an album may be on the horizon. =]

So welcome to the start of a new journey. A longer, and more rewarding journey. Years from now you could be saying, “Wow, I remember his first mixtape….it was pretty good, and he’s actually a lot better than he was back then.”…..at least that’s what I hope you’ll say. So this is me, not claiming to be the best. I’ll let you be the judge of that. And if you wanna thank me, don’t worry about doing it now, or later, or at all for that matter. I’ve already said “You’re Welcome”.

Wow.

What do you say on the eve of a single release?
I am in love with all the people that made this happen, and I wanna take the time to thank a few.

To my mom, my inspiration, thank u for being who you are. My hero.

To Justyce League, my crew and my road dogs. Thank you for being such a driving force behind all that I do. I can't wait for what's in store for us this year.

To my brother Brock, and my best friends Dj, Latin, and E.Q. You all continue to be the most amazing friends a guy could ask for.

To my amazing girlfriend, Ms. Domonique Paton, for being there and supporting me with every endeavour. You are the love of my life, and I'm glad to share this time of my life with you.

To my boy J-Dub, for being such a help in the creation of this mixtape. You and Comodity are a big reason why I am back in the game, thank u for all your help. I couldn't have done this without you.

Lastly, thank you to the fans. You guys are what makes or breaks a person in this industry, and I am thankful to have this whole idea of a mixtape be so well received.

With all that being said, the first single will be released tomorrow at 10am Pacific time. I hope you all enjoy!
