Today is a VERY important day for me for a couple reasons
1. Tonight I will be opening up for R.A. The Rugged Man in Vancouver a New York legend in his own right. an artist with some of the best technical lyricisms I have ever had the chance to hear. on top of performing on this show I'm also one of the people organizing the event to ensure its success it has been quite the rollercoaster and test of patience and humility but overall I'm exited to see what future endeavors this shall create.
2. On this day 3 years ago the world lost another legend, I lost a childhood hero and a big inspiration to my identity as a hip hop artist. JASON DAVID FRANK aka Tommy the GOAT Ranger, from OG Green to all powerful Black JDF was the power rangers franchise it has and will never be the same without him. thankfully i had the pleasure of meeting him in life before he passed and he was truly a genuine human being. engaging with everyone signing things for fans giving out free merch taking pictures with everyone this man truly did everything he could to make people around him smile.
I lost one of my best friends Ben Burger earlier that same year and fell into a pit of depression that I almost did not come back from. a kid who seen me as an artist and decided I was worth investing all his energy and time into someone who put other people before himself who made sure everyone else was ok even if he was not. another truly genuine human being taken from this world waaaay too soon. after a few hard looks in the mirror and some self accountability taking I came to a conclusion that I will forever continue to chase this dream even in the moments when things may seem bleak.
As I sit here and ponder my progress and everything I have achieved I cant help but stop to think and thank the people who inspired and assisted in bringing me to this position and while I am not exactly where I wished I would be at this stage in my career I'm nothing but overjoyed for the things I HAVE been able to accomplish where others have only dreamed while they sleep. I have chased while awake. thank you to everyone who has supported me while I continue this journey.
In hindsight today is a very emotional day for me and while I try to maintain a sense of positivity I am also still very much human. if you made it this far thanks for taking a moment to read.
If I don't seem very engaging at tonight's event I apologize the one place I am trapped the most is in my own head but know that I am always thinking of so much at once and I'm keeping everyone in my thoughts. hope to see some friendly faces this evening. if you still need a ticket msg me personally. love yall WALL-DOH
