The other day, I saw a post from Jadakiss talking about a “Huntin Season Challenge”, where he called on artists to freestyle over this beat. The original is dope and I was up for the challenge.

I thought this would be a good one, especially after Fabolous started the “Cold Summer Challenge” – here’s a LINK to the verse I did for that one.

As COVID-19 continues to impact us, please stay safe and indoors.

Friday, December 28th, 2018

2018, oh 2018, what a year you have been. Between headlines about the Royal Wedding, the World Cup, and everything Trump, it’s been a busy year. The Eagles finally won the Super Bowl, Democrats took back the House, and Thanos wiped out half the population. Zuckerberg went to Washington, a selfie was taken on Mars, and sadly, we all witnessed the tragedy in Parkland, FL. It’s crazy how much happened this past year.

While it’s been a year of big events, I also want to talk about the year that I experienced. Every year around this time, I take a moment and reflect back. Whether it’s the rap life or personal life, I’ve always thought it’s important to appreciate where we’ve come. And of course, it’s also healthy to look at how much we’ve accomplished together. And from what I can recall, there’s been a lot.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy this. Here is my 2018 year in review!

2013 Year in Review

2013…what a year it’s been. From twerking with Miley Cyrus to having a royal baby, it’s been krazy, hasn’t it? We saw some very controversial trials this year including George Zimmerman and Jodi Arias, while we also saw high profile celebs get caught in the news including Aaron Hernandez and Paula Deen. We saw a young girl become a rising voice, a U.S. government shutdown, and the loss of a significant world leader. 2013 was nothing short of eventful.

As I write this, the only thing I’m wondering is…has it really been a year? Because it’s seriously flown by. LoL I guess it has. Every year (and instead of just revisiting the news), I take a glimpse back at where I’ve been and more specifically the highlights of my year. As usual, it was a rollercoaster year with lots of highs and lows. I had some eye opening moments, realizations, and experiences that really changed my outlook on life. Both personally and professionally, I went through a lot. But I mean, that’s normal, right? ‘Course it is LoL. And with that, here it is…MY 2013 Year in Review.

“I want to thank you for the blessings and the gifts
And the lessons and the messages they left, I get the drift”

– Joell Ortiz on “Follow My Lead

There are some moments in your life that you take with you for a long time. Whether big or small, there are just some key times that resonate with you. This past July, I experienced a bunch of them. July’s usually an up-and-down month for me, but this past July was awesome. And because it was, I can’t help but feel truly blessed.
