This year marks the fifth year I'm part of the crew. In those five years a lot has happened, from small-time news and short articles to full reviews, interviews, and official press releases, but also great gigs like warm-ups for legends like , & , and then some. When looking back, as a dude with no journalistic background and that type of education, with gathered experience over the years my impact through the written word is now ever-growing.
As Snoop said "I wanna thank me" - for pushing my own boundaries all the time and not saying that I can't do something for which I had little to no knowledge. All I do is self-taught ish, but half of the stuff wouldn't be a part of my life without the support and advices I was given by many.
That being said, I wanna thank me wife for being a supportive pillar in all I do, sharing a ton of suggestions and critiques, within and outside her area of expertise. That shared knowledge and neutral point of view has been a great deal of help.
Also, a big thank you goes to my friend and mentor for giving me a chance in Blackout and through time sharing a number of advices on how to do things. Some of his inputs and propositions as subtle hints were something that subconsciously was guiding me these past years, which eventually led me to certain b'ness moves and projects in and outside of hip-hop. Can't put a price on that.
I need to extend my graditude to some of my friends and colleagues for supporting my work and, in the same time, giving friendly advices on how to improve. TTT
Like in the past four years, this one was full of everything. Various gigs, promoting the newest album by , among some reviews a worldwide exclusive of latest project by Detroit's , meeting one of my fav producers , and soon I'll be on my way with me band to one of the most important blues festivals in Europe - .
Thank you all for reading my ish and sharing your music with me. I may not be as active with them articles as before due to other obligations, but I'm still kickin'.
Thank you all.
One.
