Wordsmith Journal Entry #3
It’s been a tough week on the daddy tip for me; my son King Noah has been sick since last Friday, so I am
working on little sleep. It’s hard to see an infant sick as oppose to an adult because you can only do so
much for them; mainly comfort. Not to gross anybody out, but the snot that I have pulled from this little
boy’s nose seems to gush like a waterfall. Hearing him struggle during the night while he tries to sleep
keeps my ears at peak listening volume, so sometimes when it hits 4:45 AM for my morning workout I’m
not sure if I actually slept. I mean my eyes are closed, but I am still conscious of my son as his crib is right
next to my bed. It’s been taking me a good hour in the morning to suction his nose out real good, wipe
his face down, rub some Vick’s on his chest, crank the humidifier up some more and comfort him before
I can start my morning workouts. He seems to sleep best after he wakes during the 4AM hour and I re-
clean him from the bath he took the night before. I definitely know he is sick because he went from
sleeping through the night until I wake him for us to leave for daycare to being up by 4AM since Friday
struggling to breath. Some adults are pitiful when they are congested, lol, so imagine an infant’s pain
when they don’t know how to breathe out their nose to good at this stage. In closing, no complaints on
my end, I am Daddy and I’m here during the good and bad times.
On the music tip, still no word from Fats Beats on a release date for my “King Noah” LP, but I will
keep faith in my product that it will come at the right time. I’m very proud of this album because it’s
personal, but really showcases my songwriting skills. It’s crazy I kind of look at this as my first official
release, one because I am shooting for physical distribution, which I have never had and two when I
released “Vintage Experience” it was full of old material I had written as far back as 2005 when I wasn’t
even out yet. I think I just wanted to get certain tracks out of the crates and start fresh with the rest of
my career. My standout track on Vintage was “As the Art Fades Away,” but you will see on “King Noah” I
was set out to make good music, bump the genre, is it HipHop, is it commercial, blah, blah, blah…I made
music with a message on this album. I sit and think about all the life lesson messages I put before each
track on the album and picture my son Kingston grown and listening to them; taking it all in. His smile,
his facial expressions are so vivid in my mind though I have no clue what he will look like in 10 years or
so, but it makes it so much sweeter. Okay, so that’s all I’ll say on the album again for now as I plan on
dissecting each track for my fans once a release date is in place and the countdown begins.
For now, you can look forward to my “Prelude to the King” Mixtape dropping March 5th, 2012 and that is
the first time I have released a date. My last release from the project is called “The Limit,” which talked
about warring with suicide or living for a better day. Yesterday I released “A Hero’s Welcome,” which
I wrote for all the soldiers that sacrifice their life for the greater good of our nation yearly. My pops
retired as a Full Colonel in the Army, so this track is for him, a buddy of mine named Jerry Doby and any
troops I don’t know. The beat has a nice cadence to it, the hook is catchy and the lyrics are deep and
hit home for the soldiers. This mixtape is full of life music as I really want to get my fans mind frames
in the correct mode for my “King Noah” LP. In 3 weeks I’ll be doing a double release called “Get What
you Love & Define Me Classic,” which my homie DJ Frankie Paige from Sirius/XM The Foxxhole did cuts
on. Those will be the final releases from the Mixtape before it drops on MARCH 5TH, I REPEAT MARCH
Furthermore, I will be starting my rehearsals for the music on “King Noah” and if you know me my stage
show is very energetic and I am looking to bring back some of my theatrics on this project. I’m literally
jotting down the props I will need for each song, but being mindful of keeping those props small for
travel reasons. I spent the last month and two weeks getting my cardio up to par as I will always have
an athlete’s mentality from my college football days. Right now, I am in the beginning stages of my King
Noah Promo Tour booking, but it will kick off March 9th @ Motif and March 10th @ Streetlight Records in
San Jose, CA. I look forward to hitting the stage soon and will be getting down to stage show details over
the next month and two weeks leading up to those dates.
In closing, I like to thank my team of CuzOH! Black, DJ Nominal, Strada, Capish, Professa and Diallo for
their continued backing as we move forward this year. Shout to our newest blogger on Revolt Radio
