whaddup my people,
just getting back to Detroit after some time on the road sharing my music with some beautiful people. i know i haven’t been so quick on these updates as i have not had internet access everywhere. just know i had an amazing time. Dante Lasalle is my brotha for life and me and Chief were able to build as well (he joined the second leg of the tour after SXSW). I will try to recount my road memories in the coming weeks (the alcohol was flowing so this might take a minute. lol).
Anyways, it is good to be home and on top of that I came home to some amazing news. I have been nominated for 2 detroit music awards and United States of Mind is up for 1 as well. I have copied the instructions for how you can help me out below.
go to www.detroitmusicawards.net
Final Voting today through April 10th!
You must be registered to vote on the final ballot! If you’re not already registered to vote you can still do so – just go to the website and click “Register”. Happy Voting… Good luck to all of the nominees… See you on Friday April 17th at The Fillmore!
Now most people would give you the spiel about how it’s just nice to be nominated and all that, but i feel me and you have a deeper bond and you would see through that bullshit anyways. I want United States of Mind to win Outstanding Hip Hop Artist / Group and I want to personally win Outstanding Hip Hop MC.
I must admit I kind of like award formats like this because I don’t have to be in the “in crowd” or any of those other groups to win this. The way i always wanted to make music was to give it to the people unfiltered so i have done my best to avoid the middle men and naysayers and communicated directly with you. In return you have gotten me this far and I already know you will take me further. 2009 has been a good year so far and i have a feeling it will get a bit better before the inevitable crash and burn. lol. if you’ve read this far i know you’re already on my team and i’ve been on your so let’s go. Let me know you voted for me on the gmail and i’ll do something special for you. Rumor has it i have a few projects that i’d like to give some sneak listens on.
