Post 3 "Doubt"

        There's no short amount of questions when it comes to any type of aspiration and or idea, it's life. When it comes to being involved in the Hip-Hop industry doubt is a pillar which stands so firm, large, ominous, and shadowing you can't help but lean on it. Doubt controls so many artists, it cripples them. We doubt, we doubt daily, we doubt so much it keeps us from flying as high as we truly can. 

     When I first started performing and entering this wild fucking gambit of an industry all I wanted to do was "enlighten" people. (I was naive, and didn't understand how much business is involved) This last Monday we opened for Juicy J, three years ago I would've acted uppity and tried to deny the fact I would take a slot like this. (yes, dumb) Thinking of this industry as a work force you have to stay relevant, productive, adaptive, and intellectual! You have to take shows that benefit you in multiple ways, as well as collaborations! Seeing what happens around me is a humbling factor larger than I can describe, it scares the shit out of me, I doubt myself a lot.

      Imagine staring at a crowd of hundreds of people who you do not recognize wearing your usual weird shark hat, shirt given to you by a friend, (thanks Chris) one of your three light brown cargo shorts, and six year old shoes without socks... yeah ready? The fact of the matter is, truly; people don't care what you look like, sound like, or what you have... they care what you bring to them! We bring energy, it's all we got! Know what you have to offer and give it in mass! Staring into a crowd of faces screaming god knows what is a feeling I'll never get over and the wave of energy is a high no drug can duplicate, I doubt... but I will never doubt that!

      All of us have dreams which we've built with a "crew" of our closest confidants, it's the foundation we live on. Speaking for myself and my crew, we've been swimming in teeth deep water for years and we're finally understanding how to breath. Dream big! Dream so big no matter what life hits you with you'll bounce back and only know you're meant for every goals you seek. Dream so big others will want to dream with you! Create something so organic it has a life force of it's own and never doubt that energy! Doubt is a knife which stabs us in the most precise spots to cripple and hinder our progress, do not doubt your abilities, nurture them!

       Live for the moments that you lose sleep over and if you obtain a few hold them closely. They'll come and go so fast you'll question how "real" they were and you'll question if they'll ever happen again. We live so fast and fall so recklessly we forget where and what we've done. You've done brilliant things and you're meant to do far more, continue. Wake up and now you're meant for the stars and made of the heavens, earn your place in history. We define who we are with our actions and describe what we'll define with our words, mold them beautifully and never doubt why you are perfectly you.
