First Quarter 2009 in Review... As of April 1

Hello all,
I dunno how many e-mails I got with that opening, but screw it. April is here now and the first thing I want to say is HAPPY 9TH BIRTHDAY TO MY LITTLE BROTHER JORDAN. I love you lil' dude. Now that that's out of the way, I wanna get down to business. It's been a while since I reached out, so I'll just let Internet fans know what's up.

First off, I've been doing quite a few shows since the year started. Rain or sun, sick or dying, I still performed. I even did a show to celebrate my 21st birthday. I just recently performed at BB King's in Downtown Nashville... All I could say was tough crowd. Much love to DJ Legacy, Jeremy Jones, Weetu, B. Howard and Mario Moore. This summer, I hope to start traveling. I'll keep you posted on that.

Next up, I've also been getting a little press lately. Nashville Hype! was the first to notice me. Then Po Politickin and Nashville Scene caught wind of my presence. Expect more soon. I noticed something though: I live and go to school in Murfreesboro for the moment, but I have very close ties in Nashville, being that's where I'm from. Murfreesboro people call me a Nashville MC and Nashville people call me a Murfreesboro MC. It's random, but ironic

Now for future ideas and plans. Me & my Soundmind brother Black Noize were supposed to have released 6:15 Day Dreamsz back in January. Our lead-off single, Tha Best has been buzzing through the area and gained overall positive feedback, but numerous complications has continued to delay the release of the tape. Don't worry though. It'll be coming this year. Me & DJ Legacy are starting a campaign very soon to win the 2010 SEA awards. Raw Material is still in the works, but I'm releasing very little information until the tape's released. My debut EP The 8-Track is already highly anticipated. The current projected release date is December 15. I'll release the tracklisting, and maybe a few samples pretty soon. Also, expect mixtapes with Vithym, Rob Doe, KDV, GDup, and others in the next year or so. A movement's on the rise in Nashville

Now for the bs. Of course with every triumph came its trials. I'm still undergoing mine. One issue I've been facing is legal problems. The cops have been on my ass like toilet paper up until recently. That was hell, considering these cops have nothing better to do.
Socially, I've gone back to being a hermit. I'm getting too close to people I shouldn't be, so I gotta focus on myself again. But instead of taking a break from recording, expect a surge in songs (provided everything works out).
Right now I'm undergoing my biggest challenge yet: Finishing College.
Yep. After this month, I'll only have a year left before I take that walk onto greatness. However, there are currently 2 roadblocks that could ultimately screw me over: 1.) I currently don't have enough hours to be where I need to be. That could hold me back by a semester. Doesn't sound too bad, right? Well, my ticket to college expires next May, meaning I'll have to fork over another $2,000+ if I don't finish school by next August. 2.) I just lost my job. It was stupid how it happened, but I won't go into detail. That dealt a serious blow to my chances of getting back in order. Despite all that, I can't help but be hopeful. I guess I feel I'm destined to overcome insurmountable odds.

With that said, expect nothing but greatness from Micky Blaze. Peace
