Well everyone, we barely got here this month. I know it's only February, but I couldn't have come any closer to canning this entire project when I started this record. I had actually written an insanely long blog about it, but it was just too much to read...
Basically, what I wanted to share with you is this: No matter what you do in life, you're gonna have to deal with a lot of bull shit. You're gonna have to overcome a lot of obstacles to get what you really want out of life. You have to handle the pressure, the stress, the drama, the haters... you have to make lots of sacrifices to get what you want. You have to embrace the tough times cuz if you don't you'll never get anywhere.
For the first time ever I almost crumbled under all this pressure... I've sacrificed damn near everything for this music shit and it never gets any easier. I gave up my bed over a year ago so I could have more space for equipment in my room. You think I'm not fuckin tired of having no bed to sleep on? It's been way too long since I got a good nights rest.
The bottom line is, if I didn't have this music shit consuming every minute of my time, and every dollar in my pocket... if I just quit and did something else... I wouldn't be any happier. I'd be fucking miserable and life wouldn't be any easier. Quitting never solves anything, it only creates more problems, more drama, more bullshit and just leaves you without whatever it is you're trying to obtain.
This is life yo, and I aspire to get what I want out of it... shit is hard right now, but when things really pop off- I'm gonna get that big ass apartment, I'm gonna get that big ass bed that I deserve and I'm finally gonna get some sleep!
And that's what this record is about. I know what's mine and I'm gonna go get it. And so can you... Anyone can do ANYTHING... you just gotta grind hard. When life throws you lemons, don't make lemonade... throw those lemons back until life finally gives you what you want.
-Oz
