It’s April and the sun is out! It feels nice to ride my bike through the Boogie Down Bx! I think this summer one of the goals is to try and bike the city in a day. (Skip Staten Island haha)
The 1st quarter was amazing for me. Talks at DePaul, some podcast interview, filing grants, a couple of interview, and signing some contracts where all great, but I was burnt out haha. I had to take two vacations just to figure what had happened haha!
While on vacation, I was playing that new Drake song, What’s Next. I can honestly tell Drizzy that I have not the single clue. I’ll be honest with ya…
We are going to continue that motto in May, but this month we are going to take it as a month of content planning, which a ton of creatives really don’t do!
Current/Upcoming Releases:
Take a trip down the rabbit hole with this wildly imaginative rap song! - Nikmoody

What I WATCH DURING WORK
Do you have a day job where you sit and just watch TV? Is it because you just fully remote.
I want to add this as a segment to newsletter called “What I Watch when I am just Bored haha”! Tap IN!
Mawi: Wait For Me
LaRussell x Tope: Rhino & A Bean
Shah Leezy- Sheik’s Shadow…
This comes out tomorrow, but I am going to set a reminder, so I can watch haha.
Acting Career:
So did people know I used to have an acting career? Did you know people are trying to bring me back into it haha?
Well, my acting career is just me being me, and Zak G was able to capture it very well, especially my voice. He just dropped a compilation album called Lucid Dreamz. It means that I talk to him a ton! I was featured on his album and script as well. Go check out below.
Shifting Your Music Into A Career Volume 1:
Everyone here has been a full support for this book. We are moving to Phase 3 of the book as we rollout something special for it in the summer!
Phase 1 was the Introduction. This was me introducing the idea to various creatives and musicians on how and why the book works. This was quicker to introduce than I expected haha.
Phase 2 was the Expansion. This took about a year and half. I know it would have taken a little bit faster, but I am grateful it took this time because I figured out a dope way to expand the book without me being there. We were able to promote the book at Albany, Rochester, and Chicago w/o leaving my house haha.
Phase 3 is titled Extension! We started with the book! However, there are things you don’t know still, like the deeper meaning of each chapter. We going to start some of this towards the end of May.
Until then lovely, people check out those music, but
BUY SHIFTING YOUR MUSIC INTO A CAREER VOLUME 1 like these lovely people!
