Have you ever needed a clean slate? A fresh start? A reset? A do over? No, this is not a infomercial.

So I'm back to making posts on my blog after a short hiatus I took to focus on growing my facebook page, and my youtube channel. If you haven't been to either one I suggest you head over to the following links, like and subscribe! 


I also haven't done a ton of shows of late after getting preoccupied with 2 murals I got commissioned for. The first, a mural of the marvel comics character Deadpool. I finished it and made a 6 episode playlist on youtube documenting the steps I went through on the journey to finish it. Here check it out below.



I also did a freestyle dedicated to 'Daredevil: Season 2'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvMgKMa1MKU So yeah I've been busy to say the least.

I also jumped back into battling, something I said I'd never do, but the bug bit me again and I was compelled to step back into the ring. Not on the level of say a URL, but through Freestyle Mondays Off The Head Game show that happens the first Monday of each month at Meridian 23. Check'em out on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/freestylemondaysNYC/?fref=ts

And for a while I was busking in the Subway tunnels,lol. I can imagine how suspect that sounds if you don't know what busking means, hahaha. 'Busking' is street performance, or doing my rap songs in the streets, on the trains, and subway platforms. That slowed down once I started working on my murals.

So now this is the time I start refocusing my energy on doing shows again, and finally get my ass on a lengthy tour. Hit up a few states, countries, etc., You get the picture. I feel like I'm becoming attached again to New York City in a way that is slowing me down from utilizing my maximum potential. Which is why I've been on the fence about battling again even though I've been doing it. I want to throw in the towel because battling while I've had many great moments doing it. It's never been a consistent win for me. Where as doing shows is ultimately my strongest suit, battling is like Crack to a competitive person like myself.

So that brings me to  my track below called 'Clean Slate'. Which is off my album 'Gone Is The Illusion'. I never finished posting tracks from my album to my blog so here is the continuation.
This song is self explanatory, and on point with what I'm going through right now. I am in need of a fresh start and a new kick off point, and I feel like getting back to making posts to my blog is the first step to doing so.

Below is both the link to the track for streaming on bandcamp and the song lyrics below it. I'll be doing a part two to this blog as a vlog on my youtube channel and I will post it here for everyone to see.


Hook
Post winter laced, thawed lakes, spring break Clean Slate! 
Ruffies in beer, a mind disappears Clean Slate!
Comatose Amnesiac awakes Clean Slate!
I need a fresh start with my past erased
Reincarnation in a new birth place Clean Slate!
Before illusions drained me of my faith Clean Slate! 
Hard Drive cleaned freeing up space Clean Slate! 
I need a fresh start with my past erased

Verse 1
Remembering the moves that brought me to the dance
I waltz with skeletons with a icy long glance
So cold a polar bears fingers would catch cramps
and a paraplegic would brush frost off his pants
I got distracted going against my very nature
From taking what I want and reaching my goals
Never having to prove anything to these fucking assholes
They don’t suffer with me, so I don’t give’em that control
So, yeah bitch gimmie the blue pill dream
Like Jessie Pinkman cooking methlamine
to get that rare hue of methamphetamines
so euphoric I leapt from a mezzanine
landed in a space shuttle slash time machine
Searching for the restoration of my old base
Gone is the illusion, I have a clean slate

Hook
Post winter laced, thawed lakes, spring break Clean Slate! 
Ruffies in beer, a mind disappears Clean Slate! 
Comatose Amnesiac awakes Clean Slate! 
I need a fresh start with my past erased
Reincarnation in a new birth place Clean Slate!
Before illusions drained me of my faith Clean Slate! 
Hard Drive cleaned freeing up space Clean Slate! 
I need a fresh start with my past erased

Verse 2
I’ll Terra-form the moon busting nuts at night
That go up & down like suborbital flights
That cause torrential down pours & new signs of life
A fresh start yes but that doesn’t change the game
The only way diamonds are forever
is if pressure is a crucial success measure
like diamonds from the players club casting weather
Only when you know pain can real change occur
I should slam my palms on salted broken glass
shoot myself in the knee stab both of my calves
Just so I can start penning my rough draft
Like Tuskegee  Airman operating aircraft
But I got better luck having my prostate exam
By a blind cardiologist with hooks on his hands
But when the mappings of my brain are left in gods hands
I guess he isn’t laughing much at the layout of my plans

Hook
Post winter laced spring break thawed lakes
Clean Slate!
Ruffies in beer a mind disappears, Clean Slate!
Comatose amnesiac awakes Clean Slate!
I need a fresh start with my past erased. Reincarnation in a new birthplace Clean Slate!
Before illusions drained me of my faith, Clean Slate!
Hard drive cleaned freeing up space,Clean Slate!
I need a fresh start with my past erased

verse 3
Call me autonomous prime with my inner chi
With the energon I produce from my energy
I could power a city from new orleans to sicily
and keep away these strange creatures from my vicinity
They are those who’ll be frightened by your journey
will give you every reason to pack it in a hurry
But disappointed if you quit and decide to live safely
That some psycho shit or maybe you just hate me?
There are those who want you to escape hell & bust ass!
But don’t believe you have the strength for the task
They just tell you these things so you won’t feel bad
Their just great salesman blowing smoke up your ass
Because everyone wants you to do good but not better than them
These are leeches, not friends - cover your skin
Only through evolution can we leave the past behind
That’s how you get a clean slate that’s how I got mine…..

Hook
Post winter laced, thawed lakes, spring break Clean Slate!
Ruffies in beer, a mind disappears Clean Slate!
Comatose Amnesiac awakes Clean Slate!
I need a fresh start with my past erased
Reincarnation in a new birth place Clean Slate!
Before illusions drained me of my faith Clean Slate!
Hard Drive cleaned freeing up space Clean Slate!
I need a fresh start with my past erased
