What up NT/Music Forum?



I've been a member since 2002.  I was formerly known as "Shoelova13" because you had to be 13 to sign up back then, and I was only 12, so I lied with my name

.  Any NT'ers that were here when the Music forum was first created may remember that I used to constantly post download links to all the new joints when they leaked, until we weren't allowed to anymore.  I'm 24 now...I've literally spent half of my life on NT.  There was a time when posting on NT was ALL I did.  But I don't get to post much these days

.  I haven't been able to consistently for years now.  There's a reason for that...



5 years ago, I gave up my academic scholarship to one of the top universities in the country.  I bought a 1 way ticket from VA to LA, and I bounced.  I had no friends and family in California.  All I had was 2 suitcases, my backpack, a duffle bag, and $2000 I saved up from my job before I quit.  Obviously in LA that won't last you very long 
laugh.gif
.  I've been through it all.  There were plenty nights when I was just tryna figure out when I was gonna get my next meal, or where I was gonna sleep the next night.  But I got through it.



Before I made the move to LA, I met my future production partner KinG! (also an NT'er SKR3), online through another OG NT'er, Flu.  Flu linked me to him and we began passing music back and forth.  I had no idea when I took off to LA that he would happen to live 30 min from the place I was relocating to.  We linked up and hit it off, so we became roommates for a year, and then we recorded an album.  His father just so happened to be an engineer, and he allowed us to use all of his equipment for free.  For the last 3 years, we've made 60+ songs, all of which were created and recorded in his bedroom.  



Almost 5 years later, I have finished my first album.   "Fly...735" is produced by KinG! and written by myself.  I selected 18 songs that best expressed my thoughts on life and love, as developed through my experiences.  I don't want you to have to skip a single record.  I just want you to press play.



Named after "Flight 735" that I took from Virginia to Los Angeles back on March 25th, 2008, my debut album, "Fly...735" releases on January 1st, 2013.



My brand new single is called "EtCetera".  I just launched my official website last month as well.  I need all my real music heads to just press play and vibe wit me.  I hope you enjoy it, and if you do, please pass it along to everyone you know.  Add me on Twitter/Facebook.  I'd really appreciate it.  Quality music in the mainstream ain't dead.  And I just want to do my part to help revitalize it...



Peace and Love

Thanks man.  The album will be available online for free on my website.  I do have physical copies with all the artwork that will be available at my shows with my band starting at the end of January.  But yea, I'm doin this completely independently.  I have no desire for a record deal, and I have no intentions of trying to obtain one.  They're the ones responsible for the current state of music, and IMO, you can't really contribute to the solution by joining their side

.  I only want to write songs for their artists, because besides my solo work, I am a songwriter at heart.  I aspire to create my own label.  I'm inspired by the efforts of indie rock artists.  There hasn't really been an R&B artist to do that on a huge mainstream level thus far.  That's what I'm working for...
Really diggin' Flyyy and Coffee.
Thanks man...much more on the way

I gotta say man, this is definitely the first time I've been accused of being disrespectful...whether online or in real life.  I felt mad uncomfortable reading that 
laugh.gif
.  What I can say is that I'm highly passionate about music.  It's been there for me my entire life, even when no one else was.  And with that love, I sometimes can get intense when speaking about music...and if I ever at some point got caught up in all that passion and I disrespected you, then I apologize for that.  I can assure you that those were not my intentions. 
That's not the detailed version of the story! Lol.
You know you got it man. Looking forward to it. You know I'll keep it real
