Blogging Rapper – Transformed By Truth

Life

The chaos of life can be overwhelming. I attribute my resilience to my study of stoicism. The lessons I learn from stoic philosophy are incredible and immeasurable. Meditations had provided me tremendous insight. No, it is not a book of cheat codes, but it does contain valuable information and tactics to navigate the rough watersContinue reading “Life”

Closing Time

I was at a meeting last week and someone shared about making amends to themselves. I started listening and then I thought to myself. Have I truly forgiven me for the havoc and pain I inflicted on multiple people for various lengths of time. I honestly never thought about truly forgiving myself. Apologizing to myContinue reading “Closing Time”

Truly Being True

Recovery has opened a new creative avenue for me. I have been rapping for a long time and constantly tried to be true to me in my music while staying relevant and still making music I thought people would want to listen too. I will never say something that isn’t true in a song. I’mContinue reading “Truly Being True”

Rapper In Recovery

I am working on a new album called Rapper In Recovery. For so long I never told my truth in my music. The culture around Hip-Hop isn’t accepting of someone being honest about their struggles with addiction. If I grew up in Baltimore and sold drugs to make money that would be accepted. But IContinue reading “Rapper In Recovery”

Growth

For a long time I wasn’t a fan of jazz. I find it interesting that as I age I am becoming more interested in things I had not fervour for when I was younger. Jazz used to put me to sleep. Now I can appreciate the talent it takes to compose and create the phenomenalContinue reading “Growth”

Thinking

I find myself thinking a lot about choices I make on a daily basis. The just for today said something I have to pray about constantly. The things I cannot change and the strength and wisdom to change what I can. I’m human so I have bad habits. I have been trying to be mindfulContinue reading “Thinking”

It’s Been A While

For that, I apologize. I intend on being mindful to ensure I remain consistent on the platforms I want to see growth from. I am completely aware of the fact that I will always make time for the things I truly want to do. It is my responsibility to accomplish goals I set or tasksContinue reading “It’s Been A While”

A Long Time Coming

I have been struggling with accountability. I want to stick to my routine yet I find myself stuck in the old habit of procrastination. I’m not sure how I can break this cycle but I definitely need too. I have been trying to remember to write in my journal. I just can’t wait to getContinue reading “A Long Time Coming”

90 Days

I honestly didn’t think I would ever stop using again. I had justified my drug use as a solution to my mental health diagnosis. I was completely comfortable with being a heroin/fentanyl addict. I would say things like “everybody does something,” that is how I would chase away the honesty. I could not be honestContinue reading “90 Days”

Three A Days

I have to write every day. It is how I get a lot of the little things off my mind. I didn’t write and I missed a meeting on Monday. I was irritated. I was thinking, I can find a ride from The Park to meetings in Leonardtown. But can’t find a ride from LovevilleContinue reading “Three A Days”
