So High Lyrics
I've had a few request for the lyrics so I decided to put them up. Note if you are trying to steal it I have my music copyrighted so that's pretty pointless.
Verse 1
Three cell phones going off the same time
Trap phone, Hoe phone, Fam phone got damn
By popular demand, that's so lame
They respect a nigga cause I'm in my own lane
Buddy chirpin off a pill said he want a tic tac
twenty five get you two, tell me how beat that
Speaking bout beating, I'm pussy mistreating
She fuck a lotta dudes, why I dont be eating
Its money over everything that mucho dinero
I wake up next to money like wake up hello
I only chase money and liquor truly
Combine the two when I'm at the club its movie
I go in bout mine, kill about mine
and if it come to that I go to jail about mine
I am on my grind, back to the basics
walking on the moon and I aint even use a spaceship
Hook(x2)
I think I'm gon need NASA, I'm so high
Only fuck with two exxs, no why
One of the best rappers living, no lie
And all the women that i fuck, go bye
Verse 2
Every night I'm in the studio working on perfection
The way I go hard, you know I got a nice erection
bar for bar, line for line, nigga aint seeing me
I'm everywhere you ain't, that's why you niggaz aint seeing me
You be around hoes, I be around the money
Only after getting that do I beez around honey
Probably went above your head like a halo when I'm shooting
These are championship lines, and you aint worthy like Ewing
If you ask me what I'm doing its chavo chasing
You gotta go and get it, else you'll always be waiting
Patience please, that's not one of my virtues
A nigga gotta have it when I want it, I will murk you
If you see me when I'm igging, don't holla at nigga
Only fuck with ugly hoes, to get a dollar out her nigga
I am on my grind, back to the basics
purp in dutch, why the fuck I need a space ship
Hook(x2)
I think I'm gon need NASA, I'm so high
Only fuck with two exxs, no why
One of the best rappers living, no lie
And all the women that i fuck, go bye
Would anyone want me to breakdown why I decided to name the project Outta Space? Maybe I'll do a video blog about it if there's enough interest.

The Music Writing Process
When it comes to writing music I always have fans, peers and close friends (they're not fans in my eyes but that's another story) ask how do I come up with the stuff I write. Since this is something I have been asked since I actually started rapping good (circa 2004) I figured six years is enough time for me to finally explain.
The Basics
I usually try write and record when I am sober and listen when I am not. If the song doesn't song good when I am high/drunk then its sent to the personal folder on my hard drive. (That means only I will ever hear it and even then I hardly ever listen to those songs)
The Inspiration
When I sit down to write a song I always write to a beat. I've never been one of those people who can write out an entire song without ever hearing a beat. I need to hear the beat while I am writing to make sure that I am on beat and that I structure my lines correctly. For instance if the beat has a nice breakdown at the beginning of the third verse I make sure too write something that will really standout for that breakdown.
I usually write about things that I have experienced in my life. I describe a majority of my songs as a personal narrative on my life. If I just broke up with my girl I am likely going to write a song that deals with the break as a way of working through it. If I just spoke to my homeboi who is in prison I usually write about the reason why he is in prison. Or if I just watched Fox News or CNN then I will write about something I saw or heard during the newscast. By now I think you get my point... I write what I am feeling at the time.
Another thing is I read a lot because I have insomnia and as a result I am usually up late just writing to pass the time. I think reading adds to my writing because often times I am able to relate a lot of what I read to life. Even if I never explicitly state something I have read I usually reference it in a line or two.
The Actual Process
I normally don't write the hook until after I have already written all the verses. The reason I do it is because I feel like the hook limits what I can write about in the verses. Conventional thinking would say the hook gives you direction when writing and I can see where they're coming from but that's not my style. When I'm writing an introspective song I just let the lines fall out. I don't try to forcefully make the words come out I just vibe to the beat until I have at least a verse down.
The most important part of my process is the first four lines of the actual song. I believe that it not only sets the pace but it also allows you to grab someones attention.Take for instance one of my more popular songs "Bout That Life"
Cause I'm bout that life, nigga three six five
Get money, pop beans, and fuck hoes all night
Was a young dirty nigga, but the work so clean
on that H-Town lean, like my nickname dream
real name Hakim, like I balled for the rockets
Everyone who has ever heard the songs remembers that part the most, even though I have better lines throughout the rest of the song. Looking at the lyrics they don't look all that impressive however the way I delivered the line made it stand out.
The Punchline
Until recently I didn't even use punchlines because it wasn't really my style. However that has now changed and I like to throw a few in every song to keep things interesting. The main thing with punchlines is not to use them for the sake of using them because that can be real lame real fast. The only tip I can offer is try to think of something that is relatively known and relate it to your music.
The Beat
I will keep this short. Learn how to pick beats because that element is what holds back a lot of talented people from shining. This is the reason why I write to a beat oppose to writing something and trying to fit it to a beat. Learn how to pick good beats that match your style, voice, and delivery.
The Conclusion
I know its not as detailed as it can be but I got to keep something secret right? The maintain for any aspiring rapper or musician is to practice and study your craft. I am always a student and as a result I am constantly learning something new. If you have any questions feel free to contact me and I will try my best to help you out.

The Introduction
I don't know how you found my blog but I am glad you're here. I'm writing this blog as a way too promote my music. I will share my newest music, videos, ideas, thoughts and maybe reveal a few musically secrets with you all. A few things about me since you were wondering. I'm from Miami, Florida; born in Little Haiti (Sabal Palm) and raised in North Miami Beach. I've been rapping since 16 and have made 4 albums since I started with the most recent being Flawed Focus Volume 1.
I've performed all over Florida from Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Tampa, Orlando, Tallahassee, Jacksonville and I've meet a lot of cool people a long the way. I took a nice break from music because I was tired of dealing with the bullshit that comes with trying to get your music heard. However a lot of personal tragedies in 2007-2008 led me back to the only thing that give me a chance to say what I feel. I never intended for Flawed Focus to be a commercial album or nothing but everyone who heard the CD gave me positive feedback.
So I decided to give this music thing another try because I know my music is unique. If you want to get in contact with me hit me up through the following.
