21

•February 9, 2010 • Leave a Comment

Today is my birthday. I turn 21 as of 9:07am. I feel the same way I felt yesterday lol.

I meant to do this post like Friday but I kinda was occupied doing other shit. So here it is.

During this time of the year I usually come into large lump sums of money. I don’t really be knowing what the hell I’m gonna do with it all. This year though since I pretty much got all my money around the time of my birthday, I decided to trick off on myself. Here’s the catch though, I’m only buying stuff for my home studio until my studio is complete.

Here is what it looks like now

I know, junky as fuck, right? Well I just got the monitors and I had to move the desk around to put them right there. Plus, I’m always doing homework and writing in here so that explains all the papers lying around. But here are the following items I’m getting to finish up my studio.

Lets start off with the furniture. Shall we?

1.) A Desk Cart
-Yes, this had to be first on the list. Remember when mine keep breaking? I figure if I get a computer cart, it’ll give me a lot more room and won’t fuck up as much.

2.) A leather chair
-What sense would it make to get a desk and not a chair? None. I want a leather office type joint. Some shit that’s comfortable but not comfortable enough for me to fall asleep in. After all I still need to get work done, right?

3.) MPC Stand/Holder
-I get sick of having to get up and play with the MPC. To be lazy I’m going to get I already ordered a stand with wheels. So not only will it hold my MPC in place but I can move it to me. Score one for Millionaire!

4.) Bookshelves
-I need something besides an ironing board to hold my monitors on. I know, I’m ghetto as hell. Anyway, I could use the storage from the bookshelves to put my records in so I won’t have to get up from my comfortable ass chair. So this is another win!

4.2) Monitor Stands
-After further reviewing getting the bookshelves jumping off, I just though why not get monitor stands? It should be a lot easier and I can adjust them to my ear. So I’ll still get the book shelves but I’m probably gonna sit the monitors on monitor stands after all. We’ll see.

5.) Keyboard Stand
-I’m probably gonna see somewhere to put the keyboard after I get the cart. So I figure I can score a nice compact keyboard stand. Probably something with addable tiers just in case I get another keyboard which is looking real probable these days.

Thats all for now.

Can’t Help But Wait

Run!

I never remember being so busy in my life. These days I’m always on the run. Straight Cappadonna, Ghostface, NORE shit.

My schedule now is pretty much work, school, homework, music, and girlfriend. I don’t really do too much music during the week anymore. I gotta somehow maintain/approve my gpa and keep my music going.

I’ve been ultra productive on the music tip lately though. I’ve been working with a new artist for the last couple months and I’m really enjoying it. All production so far is done by me.

Soon I’m going to be getting into some more RNB orientated stuff. I’m not leaving my hip hop roots though! It’ll be heavily sampled based as usual. Just a tad bit slower, sexy, and melodic.

So far I got two songs done for my EP. I actually want to post one but I’m waiting until I’m done the entire project to release anything. At the most I might throw a snippet up.

I’m revamping my home studio too. I figure it’d be a nice birthday present to me. I recently came into a nice lump sum of money and the first thing I thought about was music equipment. Ha!

Might drop the 3rd installment of my Valentines Day beat tape (you read right, it is two others). I might not. I normally make those mixes for my girlfriend and post them. Due to the low count of people who downloaded it (one person downloaded it) I may avoid uploading it.

Well in class now. I’ll post next chance I get. Until then, I’m on the run.

The Next Episode 1.3

•January 19, 2010 • Leave a Comment

I’ve decided to name the EP “Memoirs of Purgatory”.

A lot of y’all probably thought it would have been “Inspired By Pain” or the long awaited (by 3 people) “Dreams of An Insomniac”. Truth is I could very well make “Dreams of An Insomniac” an EP but I wanted my first official internets release to be brand new. “Dreams of An Insomniac” is damn near a year and a half old. It pretty much stated how I felt then. Not that I don’t feel some of the same way but a lot has changed. I have a different outlook on life than I did last year. I want to display growth and leave that last year shit in last year. (Word to my cuz @SuperWoman)

So “Memoirs of Purgatory” coming soon!

Done here, back to work.

Lessons

•January 7, 2010 • Leave a Comment

In 2009 I learned a lot about myself as an artist. The players of the game forever change but as long as you master the basics of the game you’ll get far. The game doesn’t change just the players.

I’ve restricted myself from using the internets and Twitter while I’m in the studio. I find it to be a huge distraction. I have a lot of music to get done and I need to get it done in a timely fashion.

Now I’m pretty much in the studio from 4pm – 9pm. After 9pm I go over what I created, add to mp3 player if I fucks with it, and then go eat. Daily routines are the best.

I’m not gonna say which project is coming out first because I don’t know. The first one that’s finish is the one I’m gonna push first. I also don’t want to give a date of release until it’s done.

Just know that new music is coming soon.

Unfinished Business: New Years Resolution

•December 31, 2009 • 2 Comments

My new years resolution is to find a solution to my progression
Cause some are out here rooting for my depression
They say nothing is impossible, thats a damn lie
But a statement that I live and stand by
I need to get a car, thing is I can’t drive
So now is the time to learn who says I can’t try
I need to start being social and stop being anti
And start working on something that people can buy
I need to get fruit from the market
Like apples, and then figure out how to Steve Jobs it
In a way that is honest so people honor it
Learn the ends and outs of the game so I can conquer it
Learn to stop getting mad when people give my girl compliments
Cause at the end of the day she with me, common sense
Stop wasting time chilling, buy a building
And at the end of the year set a foundation for my children

This Christmas Pt. 2

•December 25, 2009 • Leave a Comment

My Christmas is going so awesome right now. As you get older, Christmas is supposed to dwindle down from the childlike state your introduced to and your supposed to turn more into a Scrooge. Not I said the Millionaire. I slept in front of the Christmas tree like a 7 year old and I didn’t sleep in anticipation for Christmas.

I went to sleep at 3 something in the am and my goddamn alarm went off at 4am. I had to realize I was at my mothers house because I almost threw that shit into her tv. After that I went back to sleep woke up to the sounds of my Moms talking to my sisters. Then my nephew probably got a beating because his loud wailing woke me, again. That was 8 am.

*Another funny thing about my nephew. I told him to tell his mother that he wants to get girls off the internets and he did! Funniest shit ever*

I got my mother “Dexter” Seasons 1-3 on dvd and a vintage Phoenix action figure from 94 with a trading card. My Mom loves the X-Men to the point it was a requirement for us (her children) to know everything about them. I got my father 15 kung fu movies and he is currently watching all of them now. I was going to get my sisters gift cards but I didn’t manage to get them before Christmas. Shout outs to all my peoples that give New Years gifts too.

*I would put what I got my girlfriend for Christmas bus she’s probably reading this with her nosey ass*

My Mom got me a red Polo fleece which is dope because I almost bought one Monday. My oldest sister bought me Smackdown Vs Raw 2010 for PS2. I used to be really into wrestling but I fell back after The Rock left the WWF. I can’t rock with it nowadays but I’ll play the hell out of the game and create my old favorite wrestlers if they are not featured in it. My Pops gave me a gift card. I thought that was pretty dope. I love gift cards that I can spend anywhere.

Now if you excuse me I got some online shopping to do with this gift card.

This Christmas

•December 24, 2009 • Leave a Comment

Currently headed to my moms house for Christmas. I just want to wish everyone happy holidays. Especially people supporting since the dot blogspot days. Happy Holidays!

Now let’s get down to business!

1.) MacBook Pro
I shouldn’t have to list why I want this. I hear nothing but good things about apple especially when it comes to music production. If I ever get this, I’m gonna run Logic, Reason, and Battery on that thang!

2.) KRK Monitors
I need a new speaker system. I know one of you heard my mixes and thought “this sounds shitty”. I’m blaming my speakers. Ya boy needs powered monitors and I heard these things gets it done.

3.) Chiptole Gift Card
I fucks with Chiptole. I eat there at least twice a month. If one of you hit me with a gift card there, I’ll shout you out at the end of every post @ MyRadioIsAMillionaire.

4.) Ralph Lauren Polo Lake Placid Rugby
I saw this at Macy’s and fell in love with it. It had a price tag of 165 and let me tell you this, if it wasn’t Christmas season it would have been copped. I’m hoping someone copped this for ya boy or I’m gonna do it when its 30% off!

5.) A PS3/XBox 360
I’m kind of out the loop far as video games goes so I figure if I get one of these I can get back in action. I solely want it to play GTA 4 and Metal of Honor. Final Fantasy is coming out soon too, I need to get on that.

Thats it for this Christmas. I’ll catch y’all on my birthday!
