Getting Started...
The Yearbook album idea came to me at about 6am last month when I was just sitting around brainstorming after making some beats. When it hit me, I really got too excited to sleep so I started writing down how I wanted to approach this project. Seeing as it was already December and I wanted to have the first song released in January, I didn't have much time to get things in order.
Initially, I thought it would be really cool to have each song relate to whatever is going on in my life at the time... ultimately, composing a yearlong “documentary” so to speak. What I didn't realize until I started recording is that if I'm going to be blogging/documenting everything throughout the year, what would be the point of saying the same things on the record each month?
That’s when it dawned on me... Keep the blog interesting, document the process; keep the music interesting, WRITE HOT SONGS! If this project gives me the freedom to do whatever I want, then I won’t limit myself to the same format each month. It’s time to bring good music back, try something new, and start taking risks!
I'll see you around Jan 15th with "The Best"

Whats up kid, its Ben from the St George back in 2000. I looked you up a few months back and saw you're doing your thing. Congrats on the success so far and good luck in the future. You're already ahead of the game just by recognizing that digital is the future, fighting it (like a lot of labels are) is pointless. I will be keeping an eye out for each installment of The Yearbook. Keep grindin'.
