I waited for some time to respond here .... especially after Tommy's response, and listening to your clip of 'Redwood Legion': there are contenders and pretenders in the gladiator sport of hip-hop from inception; history shows that Morris Levy and Lyor Cohen, etc, have been so insidious in the genre to bring up "pick-mes" in R&B/Hip-hop for platitudes (I deliberately did not mention Tommy Marrota and Clive Davis 😆) ... I go back to the elders and what they pass on to you: they stress that you BE REAL and the rest shall keep laying bricks - just like you, Truth: stay the course, and you will create YOUR truth 🙂
@benaiah1960 Much appreciated! I definitely feel like persistence and authenticity will continue to put me in front of people who like those qualities. Not implying that others aren't! I'm just saying, all I can be is myself, and I will continue to present myself as genuinely as possible!🫡💪🏽
