An Aja-Monet sighting!

I didn't find out about this TinyDesk until this evening. And I am sooooo proud of Miss Aja-Monet. You may have first heard of her on "This Perfect Life", as she was the poet at the end of "Rosado". Well, I've known her almost 20 years now. I met her the same day I met Kesed and Sciryl. WAIT! It's 20 years THIS SUMMER!!! WOW!

I'm touched by this video, because she performed the piece she spit on "Rosado".
Just depends on which ear you were listening with. Literally.

Love you, Aja!
Keep killin' 'em to life!

Clarity of moments

There's been word about it, both from me and other eyewitnesses, but I'm a bit self-conscious about music made between 2012-2014. There was a lot of venom spewed, in EVERYTHING ABOUT THE MUSIC. From the mix, to the MIC CHOICE, to BEAT/SAMPLE CHOICE, ...rhyme schemes, choice of particular words... it was all ugly. And aimed "at a few minds". 

Music was my weapon. I didn't have a gun, neighborhood stores wouldn't sell me sharp objects... all I had was my talent and the mic. So if anything, be proud of the strength I showed. Also, be happy that I DIDN'T commit the crime I was going to, because I would've removed myself from reality permanently. 

You'll be happy to know that any and all beef I had in Harlem (to my knowledge) is dead. Meaning, it's all peace in my neck of the woods. I even deaded my beef with Demevolist. I just harbor the responsibility of what might've gone wrong and prepare my future that way.

I don't want to send subliminal jabs at anyone anymore. Takes up too much creative energy. Alas, I don't have the mental patience to write anymore. In fact, I do and say so much with my blog that it's a wonder why people just don't reference it as a CH written... lol I guess I got y'all spoiled.

So yeah. No more venom. And I do and will blush at my ears' first sight of my 2012-14 music.

Recycling plastics.

You often hear me talk about going through cycles. Or, often in you hearing me talk, you notice a cycle. A trend, if you will. One day, I'm gun-ho about production. Next, I'm super into bars. Lately, I've been manic on the turntables. In addition, I also do a bit of graphic design. AI kind of makes it easier.

But yeah. I'm going through a cycle. I know I put out a lot of work and have some stuff still unreleased. But EVERYONE is saying go for the buck this time. I tried that with "New York Raining". It never works out in my favor. Still, people are telling me to capitalize on my work. As a note, we're still trying to get #TheHamiltonizationProcess on streaming, but it's not looking good. Hopefully, there won't be a digital revolution to try to remove me from The Internet. Otherwise, you can still get the music from my website (thanks Reg!).

Back to the cycle. Being that this is my 20th year in music ("From the Desk Of..." was released June 2005!), I'm taking note of all of what I said, in music and in other media. It's safe to say that I am misunderstood to a select few, and those that do understand me want me to do better for myself.

Still love.

From the sounds of things, StarChasers are gravitating closer to Xarles than King Charles. Hey, as long as you enjoy the music.

Had dope listening sessions with CYoung and Black the Beast over the weekend. All of us are growing in our respective crafts. And each demand respect in the subject of our crafts. I know I've said off the wall shit, but... in almost 40 years, none of the shit I've said has been false. In fact, folks hope it dies down and goes away. But I have never capped. There's no benefit in it. In fact, I'll go so far as to say that Rihanna HERSELF would tell you her involvement in my life. But who benefits from it? Where is she now? Who is she with? Two different, "new" worlds, in front of a spotlight bloodthirsty to take me down.

Do remember, this IS a form of media...

Weed wants to be like cigarettes.

Cigarettes will never be weed.

Choose wisely.
No tips from me! lol

AI meets STD(s)

 Yes, an STD can significantly affect a person's mood, often leading to feelings of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, shame, and embarrassment due to the stigma associated with having an STD, the worry about potential health consequences, and the stress of having to inform partners about their diagnosis; making it important to seek mental health support if diagnosed with an STD. 

Key points about how STDs can affect mood:

Psychological impact:

The social stigma around STDs can cause individuals to feel ashamed, isolated, and judged by others, leading to lowered self-worth and depression. 

Anxiety and worry:

Fear of transmitting the infection to partners, potential health complications, and the uncertainty of treatment can trigger anxiety. 

Relationship challenges:

Having to disclose an STD diagnosis to a partner can strain relationships and lead to feelings of guilt. 

Impact on self-perception:

A diagnosis of an STD can negatively impact how someone views their own sexual health and attractiveness. 

Protect youfself, if you're gonna fuck around. Lol fuck around and find out. lol damn I love that phrase.

I see you Miss (and Little Miss) Palmer!!! lol hope all is well.

Hard thank yous.

 I haven't been sending out "Happy New Year!" texts, and it isn't out of lack of love for whomever feels jaded. I am literally gifting myself time to rebuild. This, after INTENSE work hours and output. Output isn't always the record-to-release ratio.

I learned so much about myself in my healing time. I also shed certain aspects of myself. I see that I am easily influenced by... well, vibration! I must vibrate high and sit low.

I feel like my famous baby mamas are preparing me for co-existence with their famous asses (lol) and our famously complex children. All that can happen is, BOTH ...damn, ALL FOUR sides of our family... will get along. The goal is peace. The Devil is psychosis.

Let me reign. I know very well who I am.
