A letter to my fans:
For the past 9 years I’ve been slaving away at making music
that people hopefully understand…and in that journey I just now understand
myself. I still am very optimistic that
the things I say will cut through to the most of you. That’s not just to those who form opinions of
me but to everyone.
In numerology 9 is the number of change. I’ve told many close friends that a drastic
change is upon me. I’m not sure what it
is but I’m actively seeking it out.
Maybe I’m seeking a relationship with my father. I don’t know.
Maybe I’m seeking a relationship with great people in general. Real recognize real.
The tables have turned.
At one time the rumors about me were malicious and now they are
typically positive things that people say to others about me, ironically.
But I look back at my catalog and I’ve been doing the same
thing for 9 years… whether you just caught on to it or not…or just met me in
the past 3 years. Not knowing the thousands of beats I’ve just
thrown away…the tens of thousands of words I’ve not put on paper paired with
those I have.
I have been doing this for 7 days a week since 2004.
Now it’s time to turn the puzzle upside down to look at it a
different way.
My last album So Much
More didn’t translate because you didn’t know what it was.
I didn’t know what it was.
Now I know it was the beginning.
My greatest fear is people not understanding me, and casting
my work aside because it’s different.
Enjoy my new album 72701 Stories as a reminder of the
old me. – wordplay.
