the truth behind "Can't Live Without You"

Love is funny as fuck. It makes you do some silly shit and brings a lot of headaches. lol I sound mad huh? haha I'm kidding.. love has its ups and its downs. Every relationship is suppose to better you or give you something to take with you for the rest of your life. There's a crazy ass story behind "Can't Live Without You"... I met a chick in H&M.. dated her for a few months and boom.. we was in love!
Now I'm a tough ass dude.. but she was different. She brought a different side out of me. I've always been the type of dude to dip if I'm not feeling it or if things don't go smoothly. She taught me the true essence of fighting.. not physically but fighting for someone that you believe in no matter the circumstance.

I'll admit we rushed things. We didn't hop in a relationship immediately but we got tangled into one another and did relationship-like things. Sex brings on so many emotions but I also believe seeing someone almost everyday does the same thing. I learned her.. and she learned me. I had my walls up but I could feel myself believing in her and trusting her with a side of me that I had never shared.

I'm not saying I was ever a dog or anything but I will admit I never valued my ex's the way they should've been valued. My "no negativity/bull shit" attitude towards relationships with them prolly hindered the growth in our situation. I just tried to do shit differently with her. I would learn that she didn't uphold her end of the bargain. It was her birthday and we had a crazy ass time. Crazy in a good way.. We did things we never did and I made sure that I prepared a night that was special for her...one that she would remember for the rest of her life.

The night went hella good. I'm not gone get into all the details but we were both so fucked up. The night progressed... I just remember the sound of the door being banged on. We were at her apartment sleep. I could hear the pounding at the door. I was so deep in my sleep that it felt like a weird dream. I immediately jumped up and to my surprise it was the cops. I opened the door and asked the cop "Whats good?".

I'm standing at the door in my fucking underwear and its cold as hell. I'm drunk as hell.. I'm sleepy as hell. I'm like

he like yeah.. "I'm looking for (insert her name). Someone reported her missing yesterday. Where is she at?"
So I go wake her up. It took me about 5 minutes to get her up because as I mentioned we were both gone.. So I tell her whats going on.. she looking at me and the cop like  


I asked the cop "Who the fuck reported her missing?".. He says (insert her weird ass thirsty ass ex-boyfriend). I was like "WHO DAT?" 

She explains that its her ex-boyfriend. I honestly didn't know what the hell to say. I kept my cool and broke up with her a few days later. I found out that the person that kept blowing her up all the time and texting her was not her cousin ..it was this nigga!

She told me how he didn't take their break up well and how he wouldn't get lost. See here's the thing.. all she had 2 do was let me know and I could've made that trip and handled the shit

Nah I'm playing but she could've told me so that we could've handled it like two adults. She put me in a place where I didn't know what to do or where to go. I walked away... and it was hard but everything in me wanted to be there with her..  I just needed some time to figure shit out and to really see shit from a big picture. And thats how "Can't Live Without You" was birthed in 2013. I wrote the song from a crazy space I was in. I didn't have all the answers so for once I let my heart make the decision. 

This record is definitely a highlight on the project. The raw emotions and the vulnerability behind the record. I felt hella naked typing this and writing this record but thats what music is about.. sharing bits of yourself even if you're not so proud of them. Love can make u make some fucked up decisions but its love.. and you know they say its better to have loved than not have loved at all. lol I'm corny.. i know.

One thing I learned though is that whenever you get into a relationship completely wrap things up with your ex. It's the least you can do for the other person you may eventually meet. Trust me I'm from Chicago so that situation could've went 2 or 3 different ways but I'm out here trying to make my dreams come true lol I'm not about to get locked up for a female..naw lol I AINT GOING lol

are we still together ...you ask?

My feelings about releasing my single and the creative process behind "Let You Go"

Today I've been listening to a lot of Aretha Franklin, balancing life and everything that comes your way when you're an adult lmao.  I've also been aligning a few things for my single release tomorrow and praying over this release. I had the crazy idea of sharing my feelings a little bit more and maybe jotting down the creative process over everything that I do. Now I can't make any promises but I will try my best because things can get hectic and I'm not always in a sharing mood. I'll always be a "keep everything to myself" type person, maybe its the Capricorn in me. lol 

I'm not sure a lot of people will read this today... but I do believe that once I'm really famous my words will reach someone, even if its one person. (not sure if i used that comma properly lmao but whatever)

I recorded this song on December 29th 2014 at SSM STUDIOS (FAIRBURN, GA)

I remember it being hella cold and a few days before my birthday. DJ Cool and I hadn't been in the studio for quite some time due to scheduling conflicts and his other obligations. I guess the break was needed because this song sorta happened and the recording process ran like water. This is the second to last song we recorded for "Songs for the Jeep". At the time I believe the project was titled "Nasty Nights".  Hell, I done changed the title so much I forgot lol. 

I don't have much family in Atlanta so while everyone else was enjoying the holidays with their families I was locked in the studio trying to finish this LP. I told him (Cool) that I wanted to do a slow jam..but I wanted it to be fresh and new. I didn't want it to be a traditional bedroom song or anything.. you know? I didn't want the "take off your clothes right now Jodeci Keith sweat Silk -meeting in my bedroom type record.. well at least production-wise I didn't. 

We went through all type of sound effects and drum patterns. He got frustrated with me because I kept saying no to every sound lol. FYI this is a normal practice of mines and its probably one of the reasons why I enjoy working with him(COOL) so much. He was never offended. He would make full beats.. full arrangements and I would sit there and be like NO!
He would look at me like 

So he insisted that I just leave him alone and let him create. I admit I can be very controlling when it comes to the creative process but I think the thing that works with us is that he is hella laid back when creating which is the complete opposite for me. Could you imagine two Kanye's in the studio together creating one record?

Before all the Kanye fans attack me.. I am not comparing myself to him lol I'm just saying. We are both strong minded creatives.. from Chicago 👀  lol Getting back to the record.. He came up with this crazy ass galactic/outta space r&b type track.. I'm like "yooooooooooo" 


I said "Bro turn this shit up g.. it goes".. he like, "wait.. lemme arrange it"... i said "NOOOO".. press record man!

The drum pattern was crazy and the snares was kinda weird but the beat just spoke to me.
He hit record and the first words that came out of my mouth was "I know I'm wrong for making you wait so long baby"...
And I just kept going...
It was something on my mind cuz I was dealing with a chick and for some reason she loved to make love in the morning. Honestly, I wasn't really into that but she kinda changed me. I like the night time but with her she changed that for me. I remember her having to go to work and I would legit make her hella late.. Idk.. Maybe sex is like sleep.. once you change the time pattern your body adjusts to it. 
But yea enough of that.. I just played off of that "situation".. I hated when she would be like "nooo I'm gonna be late"! 

Needless to say this is how "Let You Go" was birthed. I free-styled both verses and the hook..
When we were doing the pre-chorus I was like "yoo I need to R Kelly this pre (hook)" and he was like cool (bruh is the most chill, nonchalant person you'll ever meet lmao). I just started thinking about all the slow jams he (R Kelly) use to make and how it was mannish but it still felt good ...so he definitely inspired the pre-chorus. I did the bridge next. I wrote this in my iPhone notes. He did the bridge and it came out sounding like something that Jodeci would do lmao ironic right? Maybe he was trying to piss me off but I loved it. So in short my request was denied because the bridge definitely has that Jodeci 90's sex vibe which works..You honestly can't lose with a Jodeci feel lol in the bedroom or not! lol 

So the last thing I did was the backgrounds. I am very big on backgrounds and it's probably because I grew up a huge brandy fan. Now I'm not one of those singers that tries to rob her of her sound or mimic her but I am heavily influenced by her and her music. She taught me so much and I've only met her once at her concert. She is everything. 

So when I finished all the leads I made it my business to put focus on the backgrounds. I did delete most of them after doing it because I felt like it was taking away from the record but the ones I left on them added something special to the joint. Once I listened to the full song it just felt good. It's one of those records you hear and it just relaxes you. While recording this project I kept it in mind to keep things fresh because I think a lot of music today is samey and everyone is sounding the same. No offense to the other r&b guys but everyone is trying to sound like Drake. Drake is great but there's only one Drake. I wish everyone knew this lol 

I just hope that everyone takes from the record what I put into it. Initially I battled between "Murderer" and "Restroom"(songs from my forthcoming LP, "Songs for the Jeep") as the first singles because of others opinions. 

I wanted to switch it up and go with my heart on this record. "Let You Go" is not a typical single and thats exactly what I wanted to dodge, the whole radio sounding type joint. I know that I don't have millions of bucks behind me and some of these records need huge budgets to prosper but all of that will come. At this point in my career I just want to create great music and reach great people. Whether 10 people hear this song, 10 thousand or 10 million I just hope that someone appreciates it. 


How I feel you ask about the release?

I feel good. I, like anyone else making music or dreaming, can get discouraged but I've accepted the fact that God put me here to make music and to reach people through my voice. Often times I don't feel the support from my family and friends. I'm not going to lie this year I really wanted to give up and walk away from music but God stepped in and spoke to me.  He sent a follower to me on twitter that tweets me everyday. This person tweets me motivational things and ways to live right and it truly made an impact on me and my way of thinking. I know that I'm not exactly where I saw myself 5 years ago but thats fine because it just means that I have to work harder and remain consistent. In due time the world will know who I am and I will be afforded the opportunity to successful in music and also help other aspiring artist/dreamers. I know that I've lost a lot of fans during my absence and not maintaining presence but all of that has changed and I am back to regain those fans and gain new ones.
