Happy New Year. I know I'm a little late, but everyone knows the New Year starts in February, and January is just a free trial run month. But no, really, for 2022, it's all about discipline and consistency, and I think that's been the main thing holding me back with all my endeavors. So I'm going to post more on social media, finish my poetry books, finish my novelettes, continue to write on medium and this blog/website, post a new video every week, and whatever else I need to do to move forward. Tap in and follow the journey!

RIP DMX
One of the first albums with explicit lyrics that I heard as a youth was DMX’s ‘It’s Dark And Hell Is Hot.’ My dad bought the cassette back when the album first came out. I also remember buying a DMX cd single that had “Party Up” and “Slippin’” on it.
What I always liked about DMX was how he always expressed his feelings on God, the devil, his faith and his demons. And he always had prayers on his albums.
