So I figured out how to compose stuff and export it from Sunvox, the standalone synthesizer I posted a pic of a couple weeks ago. Got something good-sounding.

In the process of writing and recording my song “Forget It,” I’ve repetitively lost my focus and forgot the point of the song to begin with.

It’s ironic because when I lost my focus like this last summer, this song came as a result of coming back into focus and realizing my foolery.

I keep on thinking stuff like, “I gotta get some music out there so I can just say I’m still here and still doing my thing” or “I’m gonna just write a random verse about nothing, record it and just get something done to show how much better I am” or “I have to get this perfect; anything less is a failure.” All these thoughts are focused on getting music done and done just right for music’s sake, for the tiniest feeling of “fame,” for me.

That last one I didn’t even realize I was thinking until recently. Perfectionism… Well, here’s the deal:  I’m going to do my best on these tracks, but I’m not going to obsess over it like I have been. If the track sucks, well, so be it. I’ll continue to get better as I keep doing this and will eventually release something that meets my admittedly high standards.

Anyway, I’d like to just request anyone who reads this pray for me, that I keep my focus and that I don’t overly worry about the quality of the tracks.

(a.k.a me blabbing on for a long time about tons of stuff you may or may not care about with bits and pieces of legitimate info here and there)

I feel like I mesh well lyrically with many of the beats produced by Allrounda Productions. Dunno what it is about their style but I find I can rap well easily on them. I have like three (possibly four or five, depending on if the concepts for a few songs I have actually develop) of them I’m using for the album I’m sorta working on writing now that will be after “Growth - The EP”.

Speaking of the EP, I will be recording it most-likely with Protégé’s instrument mic and/or my laptop mic, whichever works better. I will also (finally) be investing (nothing) into a makeshift pop filter, now that I realize their usefulness.

I’m actually finding that my next album is easier to write for than any of the stuff for “Growth - The EP”. That might be because it’s all very personal; kinda more real than what I’ve written before… There’s been a lot of tragedy in my life lately… However, God is using that to impact me greatly and it shows up in my music. There’s also no features or relying on other people to do things where I’ll have to wait then for a while while they finish their part of the song (which, aside from writing and recording on my end, is what is holding up “Growth - The EP” from being released as all four songs depend on someone else, but those peeps are waiting for me to finish my parts before they can do anything, so it’s really my fault… But, yeah… As far as writing goes, two songs for Growth are finished being written completely and have been for a long while, while the other two are more or less not finished; one is almost finished with two halves of two separate verses and a bridge to be filled, the other only has the chorus and most of a verse done.

One last thing, Protégé’s own EP, I believe, is coming along nicely. I actually don’t know exactly how far he’s gotten with it yet, actually, but he’s shown me some verses he’s written and some of them are really good.

Mashup mixtape featuring KJ-52, Lecrae, and a couple other artists (Braille, Manafest, DJ Morphiziz, Deadmau5, and Demon Hunter to name a few). Long overdue for release.
