Read the backstory to "DOWN" here:
No regrets,
For me everyday is a reminder that our days on this earth will some day be no more. The last couple years have been troublesome to say the least. So many times I wanted to quit. Not just music but life itself. When you know you have so much knowledge, love, and great music to give to the world and people just choose to overlook you, it gets you down. Maybe it was my fault. Maybe spamming people’s inboxes with music links did more harm than good. Desperate attempts to gain exposure I suppose. After analyzing my past efforts I came to a realization that I had been telling myself for awhile which is that confidence = attraction. If I present the material in a confident intriguing way without making them feel as if they’re being forced to listen then slowly and surely they’ll come to me.
So around October of 2015 I sat down with Nijel to discuss how we we’re going to take this movement forward and made a decision to go with creating a video for a single titled DOWN and promoting it in the least forceful but most powerful and intriguing way possible. Three months ago we got an idea and made a plan to start filming with visually inklined. Around that same time my dad told me that I had 3 months to find a place to live. I wasn’t mad. I knew he was kicking me out because I wasn’t in school. Guess I was too busy writing lyrics than focusing in class. Oh well anyways I was on a mission.
After finishing the concept DOWN (with the help of Nijel) I knew is was going to be video of the year. Well, at least to me. I just know how honestly it represent our lives and the lives of many other black people in america. We weren’t going to stop till it was perfect. I told a few people how much I was spending on it’s production and they thought I was crazy but that wasn’t enough to stop me… Being so focused on completing this production, I didn’t realize how fast 3 months could go by. Out of the air I get a text from my dad reminding me that I have less than two weeks until I have to leave, then it all hits me… Pockets empty to the lent, I realize that I spent all the money I was going to use to get my own place to create this video, but still I’m determined.
As I type this from my macbook inside of the TCC library I’ve been sleeping in my car for two weeks, taking showers inside of planet fitness, brushing my teeth in the wellington apartment building, I remember when we had to boil water on the stove to wash up in the sink so it’s not that bad but my video drops today. I’m not sure what’s going to happen after this. I know what I think should happen because of how much time and brain power was spent creating the video and song is but you never know for sure. If it blows up I’ll be able to be an inspiration to many that give up everything to achieve what they TRULY want in life. If I doesn’t I’ll just be another person who moved to L.A. to follow their dreams and ended up homeless. Hmmm, I guess we’ll see. At least I’l have no regrets. #ENJOY & SHARE #DOWN #LAWS
