Been a sec since my last post! I do hope all is well and progressive with everyone, but from the looks of social media, we have regressed in our sunken places. Here's to hoping this post will boost the morale (SOMEWHAT) of TheWorldAtLarge...
CYoung and I have been GRINDING! We owed each other the in-person experience. He stepped up, I stepped up. That's my brother right there, man. Nothing bad to say or could be said about him. Earlier in the week, we were in the studio with the guy who facilitated Chris and I meeting, Hassan. He works with Kanye now. He invited us to where he works to check out what he's been working on, as well as collaborate and give feedback.
#ThePodcast gave a fair review to "Andrea Mendez", my Opera project. Cool story. I invited Corpy to come to the studio with me while I recorded it. From what he said, he was blown away and wishes I could handle all my projects like that. Subconsciously, I might be rebelling against Corpy (and Sha-leik, for that matter) by not writing. It requires a lot of belief in one's self to NOT prewrite a verse and go in the booth. Belief in one's self and one's talent.
You also need a good producer. One that you can trust.
You can't trust modern, mainstream music. The music is mastered unnaturally. You can still pick up the vibes from the unscrupulous actions of the mastering process. And if it's gone, the memory remains. But I can assure and REassure you that, though the mix may not be to your "liking", it is of great quality.
I also feel like this needs to be said. I STILL listen to J Dilla and MF DOOM, with BOTH being considered mental health "triggers" for me. They fought the good fight and made timeless music while at it. I also STILL listen to Eminem. From TSSLP to TDOSS. My favorite rapper. Admittedly I haven't been listening to too much Incubus, but that's because Korn takes up my time. Rough times call for rougher theme songs.
Can I chill, tho? StarChasers asked for a live DJ set, #TheCharlesHamiltonExperience. StarChasers want an all-wtitten mainstream album, #HamiltonCharles. Y'all want my classics on streaming, July 4th, 2025. I have proven I'm about y'all. All I ask is, hold me down when I need it. Haven't heard from Drewzer in a while, and Rivera's busy with his family. Idk, man. I just wanted to itemize my StarChaser deeds. You know what? It's all good. Y'all look out for me when you can. I guess I'm just prepared for the worst.
