IF ANYONE CAN DO IT
I started my day in the music. I was in the recording studio first thing. I recorded and released my newest album. LITTLE RED CORVETTE. This is a set of 8 all new songs. I am up to 2,104 songs recorded and released for 2023, thus far. It is amazing. I actually just released an album for my number one fan Nathaniel. I did 8 songs for him and his birthday party. He will be 7 years old this December 20, 2023. His family reached out, and I put together a nice project for him. It can also be found on my music page. It was a labor of love. I was so honored to put together a juvenile album. It did many many things for me.
On Fiverr, I have a listing for all custom songs. I charge $10,000.00 per song and I can do it for anyone; for anything. Maybe a proposal for marriage, maybe a jingle for your business etc. Anything. This song I did for only $600.00. I did 8 songs instead of just 1. I then decided to donate the album completely to his family; for free.
It provided an all new idea. My brother suggested that I make a listing for other families. And just like that. A new business was born. This would turn into an all new revenue stream. I can now also show this album, as an example. Today, I will make that new listing live. It is a cool new avenue to explore. Plus. I do not have to perform the records live. When I recorded the album. My concept was that it would be played during the celebration, as a mini kid concert.
All of the songs are clean and super melodic. It is designed to be sung along by all in attendance. On top of everything, it is a memorable gift that will last forever. I also made NFT's of each record. Now I have a complete package, to sell to the masses. The album NFT, cover art, is color changing. So when you send the link to all family and friends it shows one image of Spider-Man. When you open it; it shows an all new image. So it is interactive. I am doing an album for my nephews next, as my second demonstration.
Instead of Spider-Man, their favorite characters are from The Super Mario Bros. This sparked the idea. I knew that something positive would come from this. No matter what the situation may be; go out of your way to find the blessing in it. I felt great to donate those records to Nathan. The reward could not be measured in dollars and cents. God gave me the insights, and the inspiration to turn it into an all new business. Today, I released this new album; going back to my roots. It felt so right and it showed me; my range. I can spit the hardest lyrics, and still give you a kid friendly, commercial joint; respectfully. That is the illest advantage as an artist. I have 24 different styles of music in my catalog. It has been a blessing, that continues to give every day.
I will be doing more research on all new venues; for my concert. I am looking forward to start working with my business partners at FRONTIERS Airlines. It is the small things that count. I want to also give a special thanks to Giggster.com for sponsoring this war. Anything helps and everything counts. I am an independent artist. We are a family owned and operated record label. I finance my own business ventures. So it is harder for me, but I appreciate things more. Anyone who supports my career is very dear to my heart. Anyone who would steal and take away from the brand, that I am building; God bless them.
It is very sad to live an existence based on those values.
It is important, for people to discover themselves and really look hard at themselves in the mirror. You have to give everyone a chance, no matter how much wrong; others may have done. The past is the past, and only exists in the mind. To move on, and power through; you have to be stronger and use these moments for growth. I faced a situation with a broken soul. Once I realized that; it was time to walk away, into the new.
Whatever God had in the plans, for my future; this would be another step to bring me closer to my dreams. And it is a beautiful celebration for me today. Maybe today's album, would have been different; or perhaps not even exist. I take this all into account. All of these positive things came from a very hurtful moment. If you could feel, what I felt in my heart you would understand. I did this with such good faith, that the actual work was my own gift. It helped a part of my soul; heal. Then, once the business idea flowed in; it was an even bigger blessing.
All I can say to the higher power is thank you for this wonderful opportunity. They success that comes from this is a bi product. The satisfaction, from doing what I love; each and every single day, is everything. It is the love of the fight; that keeps me going. I love music. I love people and I love business. I get to travel the world touching lives, with my poetry. That is priceless.
I had a conversation with my team. We discussed bringing some of my sports cars; overseas. I explained, how I did not feel comfortable with doing just that; at this moment. Perhaps with time. But, overseas I am extremely wealthy. I do not want that type of attention. There is a lot of competition, for artists to try to out do themselves. I do not have that problem. I have two yellow Corvettes that would be perfect over seas. They are both special and dear to me. Both are low miles. One is a 1996 coupe. Millennium yellow. the other is a 2004 coupe but, it is automatic. My C4, is a five speed. Both are equally as powerful; give and take. They are extremely low mileage, one owner cars; that I can really enjoy out there. Both are priced and valued almost the same. But, it is my choice; by design.
To me, it is a Ferrari.
Especially overseas. It is believable. Anyone with a stable income, can aspire to one day afford one. I waited a long time, to have them both in my collection. With similar features. I want my fans to look at me, for inspiration. I love being the people's champ. Your imagination is required. When I drive on the main autobahn, I can dream of a 360 Modena Berlinetta. And one day, I may just bring my Ferrari there. But, right now, is not the time. That will come. With time.
Life has its stages. I could easily be influenced by the industry of music, and allow the status quo; to be my narrative. I could buy this, to be cool with this group or that group. Or, I can just be me. And that, to me has made all of the difference. I know how hard I've had to work to have my car collection. I greatly appreciate the blessing that it truly is, to go to the garage and have many options to choose from. Maybe when we start we say, well the Ferrari is my motivation. It has to be that 360 Modena. But maybe God wrote for me, to have my 96 Corvette.
I remember wanting a 93 Honda NSXR. That was the American, bootleg version. At least to me, and in my imagination. If I would not spend close to a million dollars for that NSXR, I will not buy a 360M for $120,000.00. I much rather have 5 collectible cars, as my stallions. Plus, this is oveseas, where I can really enjoy their power. The C5 only has 345 BHP. With an intake, an exaust; straight pipes and a twin turbo kit. It is game over. That's 600 horsepower; safely and reliably. That's all you need.
I have grown up, and learned from my racing days in the streets. I learned that the turbo kit for my Corvette was not for me to be street racing in the Bronx. The twin turbo kit is for me to be in Caribbean driving with no speed limit; like if it's a Ferrari. The 360 Modena only has 400 BHP. That is plenty of power. 600 overseas, is like 1,200 here in the states. The speed limit is 65MPH. Maybe 70, in Florida. That is it Michael Jackson. Where is there an open road here; outside of a racetrack? I'd have to drive to the country side to an abandoned road. And for what? Why the heck would I do that?
Overseas, I could be driving towards the beach; on my way home. And enjoy the beautiful views. Then, drive towards the city; and also enjoy the view. Then, if I do drive towards the country side; in the islands, I can also enjoy the views. Imagine the sounds of the engine, and the warm breeze flowing with the top down. Ac, full blast, no tints; just enjoying my life, listening to all of my own music. That is life. I do not care about your Grammys?

In my country I am Bruce Springsteen. Lmao.
It's my turn to bat. My own family, may say things like. What about your Mclaren? Why is it not here? Well. It ain't for you. And it ain't for the islands. On top of that. I ain't none of your business. Who cares what they say? I have my own wife and children to keep happy. I have millions of fans all over the world. I have to focus on them. Not what you think about my Corvette? You can miss me with that bullshit. I am living my life. I am living my best life. And I am living it like it's golden. What the media, or vlogs dictate is not my reality.
We must be careful when we are artists, and our craft is out there; for everyone. I do not have to buy a house in New Port, beach. I have an estate in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. You can keep Beverly Hills. I have all organic plants, fruits and vegetables on my own property. My quality of life is unparalleled. My glory does not come from a Rolling Stone, front cover article. I am not interested in your double spread.
I own my own magazine. FUTURE TECH PLUS. This is a multi billion dollar media company in the making; right here. This is not what I do. This is who I am. I am an entrepreneur. My Mclaren MPC 12C is only $125,000.00 The next one will be the Mclaren GT. I can get one for $160,000.00 used. If I bring a Mclaren to Dominican Republic; that's the one. Until then, this Corvette will be my Honda NSXR, and my 360 Modena.
Deal with it.
I do not have to play your game. I will wine at mine.
That's what it is all about. Winning at my own game. Not what anyone has tried to influence me to do. Not even a negative person, whom tried to set me back. I only used your energy to build even more multi million dollar business; and dreams. Thank you. When I am cruising at 195 MPH; I will think about you and smile. I will enjoy everything that I have learned. Moments like this; is exactly what I reflect on, to better myself. This is why I laugh all the way to the bank. You can not fuck with God's people.
You may take from me but, how much is God taking back from you?
You see. This is how it works. We all live in this universe together. We are all trying to figure things out; in our very own, best ways. If you put our negativity, that is all you will ever get in return. Be careful on the things, that have the potential to influence you. Stay true to yourself in all things. Make sure that you always follow your dreams.
Later today. I will record another album. Maybe even tomorrow morning. Most people cannot say, that they are able to live in their truth; and do exactly what God placed them in this Universe, to be. I get to be Kobe Bryant and play basketball; all day, every day. As I should. How about you?
To me, playing every single day, in every single game; is my dream.
Every single one, is like the first; every time. It reminds me of my natural God given gift, and how special our bond truly is. I am forever grateful.
I love you all.
God bless.
