NORTH AMERICA

North American leg complete! Couldn’t have ended this first run in a better place. Thank you Fayetteville for the love the other night. Words couldn’t do it justice on how special it was to get to come back and perform for the city that molded me.

And thank you to everybody in each city that came to the shows. Every night went crazy!! Although I’ve been blessed to have many great ones, this has been the best tour yet for me. The hardest to do physically, but the most rewarding at the end of the night when the show's over. A lot of moments and faces are etched in my mind right now and I’m hoping they don’t fade.

Before the tour started I had plans to do so much with my “free time”, meaning all the hours when i wasn’t on the stage. I wanted to make beats, write, record, update the blog, get better at the keys, watch movies, all type of shit. But the actual amount of effort and energy the show takes every night caught me off guard, and outside of some creative moments here and there, I spent most of my time sleeping, recovering and trying to rest my voice to be ready for the next show.

That’s my explanation on why i haven’t updated the blog in some months. Hopefully in Europe I will be better adjusted, since I know what to expect now, and maybe I can update more frequently as well as be more productive with my recovery hours. I think the world need blogs dawg, or something. these algorithm driven platforms got us in a chokehold, i damn near don’t see a way out.

Shout out to everybody that copped the first release of the Indie 5000. If you didn’t get them in Fayetteville don’t trip. We got more on the way.

Also, congratulations to my dawg Colin on the release of his book. Officially a #1 New York Times Bestseller. Got my copy and plan to start reading during this break. This is a great friend of mine and I’m proud of him. I have seen his struggle up close... there are not many of us that would have been able to walk his path with the grace, discipline and moral courage that he has shown. He has my highest respect.

Last thing... I want to shout out Sacramento, California and also say I’m sorry about the show being cancelled. It was a tragic situation that was bigger than entertainment. We tried every day after to figure out a way to come back and make up the show, but logistically nothing was possible. Please know that I was and still am disappointed that I didn’t get to come and perform for yall, and I would love to come back through and do something in Sac when the time is right.

For now, I got a few days break and then off to Berlin. Europe we will see yall in a few!

Peace
