SPRINGER SUNDAYZ: WORKING NOT JERKING
People a complain say mi missing in Action, not tweeting as much not sending these updates as much. This obviously is vey uncharacteristic of me but to paraphrase the now popular jamaican cliche
"WORK MI A WORK ANNO CHICKEN MI A JERK!"
Recently I evaluated my career and found that in Jamaica my fanbase is lacking especially when compared to various markets in the USA and Europe. There are many factors that contribute to that
i) I dont work with the recognized "big" producers, Lamar Clan mi say and Unda Teka Productions so for me to get a song heard it takes 10 times the effort (Unda Teka mi bredda this will only make it sweeter when we reach where we definately will reach, Mi people nothing worth having comes easy, I could write an entire blog about our struggles trying to get our music "to the world" for lack of a better phrase)
ii) I live in the USA (Pittsburgh PA) I can elaborate a lot on this but let me throw the ball emphatically in your court since you are on my email list. WHICH DANCEHALL ARTIST DO YOU KNOW BUSS FROM THE US ? (Only person mi can come up with is Flippa who basically lives in Jamaica)
iii) Not enough radio friendly songs, I have radio edits for all my songs but in Jamaica with the new rules I need radio versions (not that I would get nuff strength radio due to the previously mentioned factors but this itself is still a factor)
I read somewhere (Yes I do read) about a man who's goal was to change the world. His whole life he strived to achieve this goal and on his death bed he made some astounding realizations. He realized that such a seemingly enormous goal could only be achieved in stages, If he had at first tried to change himself, then maybe his new found self would influence in family and in turn he could've changed his family. With their support he probably could have had the means to change his community, A positive change in his community could have been noticed by other commnities which could have led to him changing his country and then the world.
Large goals are great but when working towards them breaking them down into smaller and seemingly more attainable goals is definately the way to go.
Insanity in my opinion is doing the same exact thing repeatedly and expect different things to happen.
These two things are the motivation behind my current project in Jamaica. SPRINGER SUNDAYZ.
I wont get into too much detail, as I think it will make itself evident in months to come. But Big up all of y'all for the support and for believing in what I can do, big up all the people who DO NOT KNOW ME because you are all motivation and you will know me, I can honestly say that I am evolving as a song writer even my voice is evolving and views and opinions are still as controversial but logical as ever and I promise you many more BAD SONGS and CRAZY BLOGS going forward.
Just keep it locked WHORE MUSIK, WHORE TALK, WHORING AND TOURING a me say all a dem ting deh, watch it grow. Ladies mi love uunu.
