First let me say I should be doing a vlog of the things you go through as an independent artist with no budget preparing to release your debut album that no one knows they want to hear. So for a little background I finished the album last May but why rush a release if you have no idea on how you want to promote? How are you going to distribute this album? What kind of team do you have to help in this process? How much money do you have to push this album? These are the questions that have to asked first. Then you sit there and wonder how to use the internet in a way that is not redundant to whats already being done. We are now here in January of 2009 and it all kind of started clicking on what the right mentality was to have about approaching these problems.
1. Get the album in the pipe line- How long is it going to take to get on ITUNES? (praying for april, I should have paid the extra money)
2. Give away music- Free mixtape download-

3. Have Fun at all levels
4. stop sleeping- It's 6:00 in the morning
5. do shows- there coming
6. have fun
7. train your friends- thats how i'm booking shows, and shooting video's, and looking like i'm a star
8. Be something to believe in- this is a lifestyle so i gotta style on people
9. have fun
10. Make music you want to hear as a fan not as an artist. (I think I'm dope but if I wouldn't listen to it why should you. I have songs that lyrically great but I don't play them so you won't hear them unless I decide to release a shit you shouldn't have heard album.)
I think that in music from a grand scale I've accomplished nothing but from a personal standpoint on some real human real talk real artist shit, I've changed the my life because you are reading this and when I was starting to rhyme I could not have imagined this in my wildest dreams. So nigga can't tell me shit on some you suck shit because I wouldn't think I'd be in a position for you to tell me I suck. So fan or hater I love you for having an opinion.
I plan on keeping track of the experiences because this is now the fun part of the experience.
So today I have meetings concerning my video concepts, booking shows, and a radio show I may be developing. Tuesday Barack Obama gets sworn in and I believe that is a great big deal but I'm so focused on trying to get so things going I don't know how much I'm going to pay attention.
I feel like Obama got it so I need to get mine. Wish him the best and so on, also I wish everyone prosperity in their endeavors stay focused and be safe.
I'm going on record to say at this moment I don't give a fuck meaning that if you have a criticism of my music cool, I invite that , If you enjoy what I do, I invite that also. Now with that said I will say I make music according to what I feel so if what I feel offends you refer to the moment I put at the beginning. I'm a fair and nice dude however I had to bring alot of the old me into 2009 because I feel like when you a genuinely nice person people seem not to understand the otherside. So I will add to the record that I have no problems with anyone anymore in my opinion but they may have problems with me. In a moment of ignorance I will say this if there is ever a problem with me we can talk like men or fight like men but there will never be a reason for me to threaten or take another man's life. I was raised by a different breed of men so alot of this bird shit that people are on with the bravado and tough talk is not me. For real if you need to understand that the original moment at the top of this statement will always apply. I can talk it out, walk away , or slap the shit out of you. All pretty much come to the same conclusion. I'd prefer to talk it out and come to an understanding and go on living life. Even just walkaway but really the third option seems to be where people want to go these days. I firmly believe in respect and I respect every man that stands as one not neccessarily by my standards but by the moves one makes, emotions are said to be a female trait. I disagree having emotions is normal but to make decisions that you may come to regret later on in life based on emotion is not acting as a man was intended. With that said I stand behind every word I say and if I find that I was wrong I will apologize and mean it as honest as one can. I will never back away from a statement that I say to ease a situation, I will explain my perspective and be prepared for one of three options stated earlier but thats where it ends. That is my disclaimer for all things related to me. So you don't have to assume I probably will never have beef with anyone because of this disclaimer because I don't want anyone to ever be confused. I don't own guns because my personality probably would cause me to shoot someone and I don't travel with a bunch of people to feel safe. People that know me know I role solo to anything. Whether its peaceful or about conflict because I always speak and move in peace. I could give you all the real nigga rhetoric that people speak about but at the end of the day. I'm me that could be the realist nigga you know or the most fraud guy on the planet but I can explain every action I make logically so ask yourself if you can? I never second guess a move! Lets have fun this year , and enjoy life . Officially I welcome you to a Wes Coas State of Mind
