From a DM...
I think I found the keystone of the difference between my 2005-2011 (written) and my 2012-present music.
Early on, I didn't think about the DJ/party music. I knew how to make/provided groovy music you could (at least 2-step to), but I wanted to share my testimony as a survivor. The deeper I got into production techniques (J Dilla, Madlib, Dre, ALC, 9th etc.), the more I felt compelled to DJ. When I spun my FIRST party at Corpy's crib (SAME time as the other bullshit), I ROCKED IT. Mostly my music and mostly beats, but EVERYONE was digging it. Off that energy, I skipped town and the rest is history. But while locked up, I planned to make music that I (and almost only I, exclusively) could DJ. And make a whole thing out of it.
My written songs and projects are crafted from beginning to end. First adlib, last fade. My non-written songs are STRUCTURED like written songs (music theory), but are very LOOSE. Too much is left up for interpretation.
2014, I fixed that. And that music, though I semi-slighted you (in particular) in it, is up there with 2005-2011 music.
Things got difficult in 2016. Mom was gone, living in LA w Uncle G, moving back to NYC under Uncle G's roof (can't record late night/at all; no #bedroombeethovens)... so from 2016-early 2018, it was drama that decayed the music. Mentioning George, Jack and Dilla dead became reason to drop me from both management *and* Republic. I pushed, though.
I say all that to say, I know what you prefer from me. It's up to me to execute, enhance, or bypass. But the note is taken.
Thunnie...
Music is why I'm here. I found that every time I want to crash out, it is my IMMEDIATE desire to play bass. Now, I love and adore the piano (beyond words) and the guitar is my declaration of independence. But baby?? The bass is where I'm at!
One of my StarChasers may be visiting me for 4/20. This *drKiwi* wants to record music for the first time with me. And I'm down! I just have to redirect the bass energy into hospitality. Why? I don't want a -Chaser to see me at the point I get to when I want to play bass.
With all the above in the eggshell, I think I would've... either relapsed or bodied myself without the turntables/DJing. DJing opened my eyes to another level of understanding. My 2 biggest DJ influences are DJ Jazzy Jeff and Dr. Dre. And NO shade to DJ Green Lantern. I just am a little less rigid than Green. Interesting, because Green gets LOOSE. But yeah. Dre knows when a record catches you, and Jeff won't play you unless you're hot l.
Trust. I CAN spin other's music. But... no record and handle The Hamiltonization Process. And you have to develop your own process to fuck w mine.
Tourism
I addressed you (anonymously) on my X page, but for all I went through in the last 15+ years, I deem it necessary to continue.
For the longest time, I fought for the attention and affection of a big-named-yet-nameless relative. If only to vindicate his private hazing of me. It was when it impacted my MUSIC that I went psycho. I already didn't trust him because of how I was introduced to him and the circumstances surrounding it. His music would APPEAR to value me, but it was littered with talk of his own worth and aspirations of such.
Mom and I were poor.
So when I picked up the pen, he and his quasi-wealthy ass became the target of my "generic" punchlines. I fucked around and achieved a level of success, in spite of an industry-ending incident. He comes around, and convinces grandma and uncle that he needs to be there to protect me. Subsequently, he moves in, and proceeds to clean house.
Only problem was, there wasn't much to be cleaned.
HchO took the MPC (I used to master ThisPerfectLife), Saintvil took the Jordan's and Penny's Pharrell bought for me, Woody lived with us rent free until dude asked him to leave (THROUGH ME)... I wasn't allowed to smoke weed (supposedly my lawyer and the label wanted to drug test me; never happened)... original music was remixed, much to the dismay of said relative who was "personally invested"...
It just... was a bunch of bullshit.
Now, I'm not marred by any of this. I'm still making music on a high level, as you can see I'm still blogging, my faith and belief in the alien race SEGA is stronger than EVER before... I just remember vividly what the streets did to me. I wasn't looking for trouble then, not looking for it now. But I was at war with this man. Still, in the midst of this war, I realized something: for every time I go off on him for free, he doesn't mention or acknowledge me and gets paid for it! Breaking down the disproportion would give it all away. But I been giving it all away to break down the disproportion.
"However, God help me."

The follow-down
So yeah. 36 hours of The Hamiltonization Process and the finest LA weed. I am left speechless. One song from this era that left me cold and full of tears was "Honesty Box", off #Intervention. It ate at me, because I only really converse with 2 of my "niggas" from that song's era. And who I wanted to share the glory of being a signed recording artist, I inevitably did, but it was almost too late.
I have no problem investing into the crafts of my loved ones. I was gonna buy one of my homies and SP 404, because of his admiration of one DiBia$e. Not that the notion would go unrecognized or un-reciprocated, but I have worthy investments I can make on myself to make me as much of a champion as I see them.
You can't get mad at me for that, *drKiwi*.
I had a good time with the music I introduced you to me with. Now that I can look back with red eyes of green, I know I left you with good grooves and good vibes. That's more than what's being offered, anywhere else. Maybe my vibes got a little more spiteful and "catty" (I don't think anyone is as sexy as me, despite how ugly I feel), but it's all coming from a genuine, regal place.
How I feel about me should only hurt those hoping to take advantage.
I'll be around.

You're welcome!
You're welcome!
I didn't realize I went this hard. I can dead see why so many want me to go back to that mode/zone/grind. As I listen to "Keep It Up" (from #SubstanceAbuse), I BELIEVE I can do it. Yet the beat is calling for a NON-written ass whoopin'. Which is kinda what I was talking about. Believing in myself enough to get in the booth WITHOUT something to lean on (lyrically). Even with that in the eggshell, this is some of the best music I've even heard. I shedded several tears, laughed my ass off, got tight... this is an experience.
Mom and jesus
The 11th year
It's been 11 years since mom departed. Nothing has been the same since. Her birthday is tomorrow. St. Patrick's Day (for those keeping score). Maybe it's her luck that she left this earth before the robots took over (not a shot at Daft). Whatever it is, I am now ashamed of my rage towards my mother.
She truly did love my music.
I remember conversations we've had about my music's development. The advice she gave has lasted longer than the phases and trends we've seen. I also think her having me in church protected me from some bullshit. She always gave me my props, as far as being an organist.
And... the thing? She saw me get down in the studio. Now, when you wrap a session (artists and producers), you fill out a session sheet. This itemizes everything you did in the studio. She signed off as the producer. I was hot, but it's true. Mom produced "Graceful Wishes (feat. Kendall Morgan)" and "Body Suit (feat. CYoung)". I took direction, rocked the mic, and graced the keys. George Massa (Spits!) got credit for his guitar and bass work.
I saw mom get down in the studio.
She didn't have to strum a string or touch a pencil.
Mom was the GOAT.

A boy's dream
Being honest... frank... candid... it was never my dream to be Sonic the Hedgehog. It was my reality. I lived as Sonic. YEARS before The Pink Lavalamp. YEARS before Halo. It was a quiet understanding amongst my peers and elder folk that I was Broadway's Sonic (the Hedgehog). I even ran across the street when going to the store for mom.
So no, as much as I love Sonic, I didn't want to be him.
My dream was to be Dr. Robotnik.
I wanted to express my intelligence freely and with recognition. Red and black are my favorite colors (surprise, surprise!), but I'm not a Blood, and on the block I lived on, only Bloods wore red and black. So no Jordan jersey for me...
But yeah. Being Dr. Robotnik allows me to create more (charmingly) diabolically and take the necessary losses to be considered a "boss".
Many StarChasers weren't open to the idea, when I dropped "The Rise of Dr. Robotnik". "StH: American Paradox", however, was well-received. And yes, "StH: Inner Peace" exists. At least instrumentally. Still, I don't like the feeling of being controlled. My ancestors, from SEGA to Africa to Mauritius to Egypt to Ireland, fought long and hard to maintain freedom. Sonic submits control to the gamer, under the gauze that the gamer will take them to victory.
Dr. Robotnik stands in the way.
I am currently in an identity crisis. As you can see, I broke down my multiple personality disorder by recording under different variations of my name. There are still more to come. But in my creativity, I got taken out of myself (ala Shadow the Hamilton) and became... a greater being (shouts to CYoung). I invested in it, and now I am CONFIDENT that this greater creation of self is un-fuck-withable.
But. I didn't stop there.
With the money I made through features, I made another investment. This time, SEGA is in the crosshairs. I believe that I can be the musical director of ALL SEGA games and products. Nintendo made several LUCRATIVE offers, but I'm loyal to the blue and white. Won't lie tho, it's getting harder to say no. And with my first investment (that took me out of myself; ala Shadow the Hamilton), Nintendo is set to have a moment in The Sun. Shouts to and Rest In Peace shouts to Super Mario.
He is survived by his younger brother Luigi.
Billionaire Dre, Royally Roy and I are investing in this studio album. Where they got the funds from doesn't matter. Especially since I was able to pitch in last minute. But I invested in my career and creative process. I did this in 2020 (during the pandemic), and the results remain: you can say you don't know me, but your retina tells another tale.
No longer is it "write!". It's "do your thing, we trust you". Sure, people miss the stylings that come with writing. Well, it ain't there anymore. I guess time eroded at the fantasy I provide with a pen. I speak from the heart, as filtered by my mind, and guided by my soul. At the end of the day, I'm not gonna sit back and lick my wounds just because I can come up with some slick lines that people can put a hashtag behind. I'm gonna fight back, and invite you to watch.
Morningside Park, anytime after 8pm.
Except... I'm not there anymore.
And I'm not looking for trouble.
Just looking to express my intelligence... as a boss.
*drKiwi*'s ambition
A few *drKiwis* have popped up lately. Today's clientele said both of our mental healths were at risk, and I chose me over *-wi*. A light case, I guess. But I only did such due to a lack of trust. I ignored all the signs, and felt that sh*-i* was looking for me to du something (#iykyk #6ix). As opposed to what was present, which was my suspicion of *Kiwi's* loyalty.
Flat out, I didn't know who *drKiwi* was.
And in this day and age, with SEGA Aliens running EVERYTHING and Nintendo Reptilians EXTORTING everything, you never know who could be using temptation as a bait to get your private information.
I have since learned that preparing a presentation for The Worship of The Sun (yours truly) is the actual definition of evil. Evil will not live past that day. The darkness shall be illuminated. The Illuminati will be enlightened. The Lights (hint) will shine.
*drKiwi* has something they'd like to reveal to me, in front of the ENTIRE GALAXY. I don't know how it would be worth it for them, and I see past myself everyday. So what gives?
I know I can't.
One eye open (CLE)
Late last year, I started working on a record called "Cleveland Rocks". It featured my baby cousin Spazzo CLE and StarChaser Xavier Bennet. It's sampled the second version of The Drew Carrey Show's theme song. Xavier is a traditional StarChaser, in that, though he supports me, he always has some flip shit to say to make me feel like less of a being.
In his verse, he said "we got LeBron, we don't need no Michael". Before I moved to NYC (age 5), CLE used to call me Michael. As in Jackson. I was always musically inclined, and the Universe of East Cleveland knew it. I called Spaz and said "he ain't from Old Cleveland, because he would get his ass beat". Spaz agreed. My verse was fire, but only after Spaz convinced me not to talk about the pain of Cleveland.
It wasn't easy.
Cleveland is so beautiful. So the ugly shit I went through can be seen as a one off. But word to my cousin Shayla, finding intimacy in Cleveland AS Baby Charles/Michael/Jr. is a TRIP. Nevertheless, i got a hand job from Scooter's baby mom. Lol
And me and Miss Jackie! went at it! Lol I swear I love that girl. That's a StarChaser for real. A music lover that knows the depth of my music, yet still manages to be impressed. I try not to sleep w Female StarChasers, but when passion calls, answer.
Back to Cleveland.
I don't like calling the Indians the "Guardians", but I'll be damned if they ain't talking about George, Dilla and Jack. Fuck Jack, but y'all 3 niggas changed my life by being with me. I'ma need y'all to get clear with 9 (The Universe) about where y'all stand with me. 9 believes I'm all alone, following behind the coolest mu'fuckas on campus. I'm pretty cool myself... solid, even and rather... but I would love to spend my days with the boys. Jack always made it weird for us. Either he would say or do some psycho homo shit, or he would sell one of us short. He tries to be nice to me, but only because #thegame requires it.
That's the shit I be talkin' about, #CitizensOfHeart.
Cleveland is a VERY loving city. We embrace you, until you hurt us. I mean, we're the city of The Dawgs. Granted the Browns they speak of are Bandicoots. Loving, but VERY conservative. I'm sure Cleveland won't shun me for "gettin' it in" a few times, but... just to be clear, I will ride w my Cleveland brothers until the wheels fall off, and I will devour any Cleveland Chick who dares test the libido of #ScootersFirstGirlfrind.
Sucks to say, but it is what it is.
I love you, Cleveland.
I love you, Hamilton Family.
As long as we're in each other's heart(s), we will never be apart.
Word to Senior.
I just drenched my soul into #MissKiwi's heart. I wonder what's next for *drKiwi* and #TheBlackDrRobotnik...A lot I gotta do today. I'll be around.

Why my eye-to-eyes (LA)
Living in LA is tricky. I can't bum it too much, because there are always in me. Im a public figure, and LA knows that. In fact, LA knows I'm shy, anxious, nervous, horny and subduing my rage. At the same time, you get fly and have to worry about getting robbed (i live in South Central). I don't wear chains and jewels, but I wear particular colors. Specifically purple and green. Apparently those are Vicelord colors.
Granted I was cool w them niggas, each time I was locked up.
Back to LA.
I look at some of these young tough niggas like, "I can turn yo little ass out!". I know how far things can get. First hand. I'm trying to keep control of things, but once you do ONE gay thing, you go through a degeneration of self. You basically melt.
God blessed me with grace. I stopped the emotional internal bleeding. To God be the glory! I was given a second chance at ministry (without it being Gospel, per se). I don't squander my second chance. I spaz on the mic like I will fall out of myself if I don't.
LA is VERY good at Satanic art(s). Because of this, they are VERY "fast" (as Black mothers say). It's hard to ask them to beat with me. They make me feel pornographically good. But right when I get comfortable, I spot one of the Boyz in the Hood, and they don't want to be looked at while they take over the bus.
My dick would fit GOOD in they ass. That'll fix em.
I just don't have the heart to say that. Out here, especially. I don't look for problems. I know my mouth, and I know my hands. It's like that. However, out here, niggas go from hands to handguns w the QUICKNESS. So I nod to them, they nod back, and we keep it pushing.
Whether they know/love me or not, I have a destination to reach.
See you in the future.
I love LA!
SOUTH CENTRAL, WHERE WE AT??

Eye-to-eye w/ Jamaica
Even with me playing man-from-Mars with you (ask about it; real one's know), I still believe that you know my heart and, even still (and better), my body. I'm not promiscuous, neither hetero-nor-homosexually. I haven't had sex in a good number of years now. Divine punishment. I dare ask for the favor of the Jamaican woman, in the eye of the Jamaican man. I simply ask that you understand that Jah (yes, Lion!) is working with me and I am actively working on my mannerisms.
I have learned sooo much from Jamaican music/culture. Toya and I used to watch Passa Passa DVDs. HchO put me on to soundclashes. Though I am a C (Charles), I'm a J, too (Jr.)!. So it really matters to me what yu think of me. I know it shouldn't, but y'all are closest to divinity by nature. Do your homework on Jamaican culture. Better yet, ask SEGA about Jamaica.
Through Jamaica, I find Atari.
Ask Dr. Dre.
If she even remembers that (no innuendos). But, dead that.
