about

“Drop!” is my baby. This was my attempt to switch it up some. I was really trying to discover my flow and my wordplay around this time and be more structured. The “official tissue” line is courtesy of Jerome Seymour, my cousins fiance. The first time I heard him say that, I put right in my lyric bank. It was the illest thing I had heard in a long time. My first beats were structure but really all over the place in terms of musical fluidity. But this song along with “The Mothership” and “Let Me Clear My Throat”(all 2008 babies awaiting re-recording) where the beginning of my progression in terms of production. Especially hip hop.

I remember me and DJ Source ( My LB, Ramon Daniel. Do your research) recorded this in his bedroom actually (which was like being in a box with a king sized bed). There is this silent thug that I keep trapped in me and sometimes he comes out. Some of the things he says is really…not me but its so dope that I cannot deny him that spotlight. I got tired of feeling like I wasnt talented enough to be recognized or noticed or appreciated. And uh….the silent thug came out and reminded me of who I was.

Source was actually one of the first people to hear the song in full. I was insanely apprehensive about showing my music to people but with Source, I knew I was gonna give me the truth but in a way that was not insulting or just being a hater. I was super duper elated when he sent me the instrumental when I moved to Atlanta. I had to give it one more go-round before I decided to official put the song to sleep. Still not satisfied.

I just want more go at it!
