What I've Been Up To

Yeah so its been entirely too long since I've blogged, I'm aware of that, and I do apologize. I've been busy with so many different projects. But now that I'm here, let me tell you about ALL of them. lol. So first as you know I've been working on Nuff Said for only God knows how long. The project has had a million different release dates, so I'm not puttin an official release date on it until we're about two weeks away. In the meantime tho, I did come out with another mixtape this summer, just a short prelude to "Nuff Said." The mixtape was entitled "All I've Ever Known." I'll post it on the blog once I'm finished with this post. I've also changed the name of "Nuff Said" to "Nuff Said:The Epitome." I did that because I've literally come to love every track on this mixtape and although its been taking so long to come out with this mixtape, I have continued writing this whole time. Aside from the 11 tracks that are on "All I've Ever Known," "NS:TE" has grown from 15 to 21 to 25 to 28 tracks long. And I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a couple bonus tracks. So yeah I've been talkin about this mixtape for like 4 years now but its not like I've been workin on these couple of songs for this whole time, its more like recording issues or management issues so in the meantime I just kept writing. I had to split ways with a couple different people I've been working with as it wasn't good for business or for my ministry but I do wish them the best in the future. But when God closes one door He opens another so while I'm not recording with the same producer I once was, I am working with an equal great producer who is also not only about business, but about our Father's business. And thus my mixtape is back in the works. I have had to privilege to open up for Young Joshua from Cross Movement Records, as well as R-Swift. I've been building alot of hype around my mixtape and I truly hope that you love it as much as I do. I'm in the process of getting signed to "Stric'ly Jesus Records" and I'm hoping to come out with my first LP this summer entitled "Walk This Way." I really want to work with Mali Music, PJ Morton, Amber Bullock, Crystal Aikin, and/or Da Truth. We'll see what happens, only God knows the future. I've posted my music on several different websites now, datpiff.com and bandcamp.com. I'm also working with z180 radio and rapzilla.com I've taken the stresses of this mixtape as God truly testing my patience, making sure that I'm in this industry for the right reasons, and making sure that I'm not a hypocrite. So I've been working with myself to make sure that I'm "practicing what I preach." I'm not Saint, not perfect in the least bit, but daily I am striving to be more like my Lord. So I guess in ending, I should probably tell you I'm leaking a track from the mixtape or promoting the mixtape every weekend until the mixtape comes out, the first installment was released today. Be Blessed. Jus Chris.
