It’s been a while since we last talked. I used to talk to you often. I think I asked for your help before every show. But since we have last talked a lot has happened. I got married. I became a full time father and I have changed careers a few times. I’m sure you also know that over the last few years, I have put one of my passions on the back burner: music. Being an adult is not easy and being a man means that you have to sacrifice for those you love.

A few years ago when I took a more active role in my (soon to be teen age) son’s life and school career, I embarked on a new path. Thankfully I had recently reunited with a great friend from my past, Dawn who would later go one to become my wife. Marring dawn was (is) probably my greatest achievement since having a hand in the creation of my son (and my daughter … but that’s a whole different story). Dawn helped during a challenging time in my life and showed me that she loved my children
as much as she loved me. It’s amazing to me how I already knew the perfect partner to help me in my journey to be the best parent and the best person I could be.

Being out late nights clubbing and always out “promoting” was not conducive to raising a son or building a strong foundation to a life long commitment, so I had to make adjustments. My passion for live independent music would have to wait.

Now in 2008, with a supportive wife and well adjusted son who is a freshman in high school, I feel it is time to return to my role of a community activist in the Rhode Island hip hop scene and try to make as big an impact in the new music industry as possible.

So God … give me the strength to balance all my different responsibilities so i can make time for my passion. And please give me the insight and knowledge to have learned from my past mistakes. Also … If you know any like minded, passionate people who love independent real hip hop music that are in it for the love and not the money please send them my way so we can get this movement jump started.
