Precise In The RedEye
LET IT RAIN!!....Blessings.
I got an inspiration from a close friend to work on a Vision board a few weeks ago. It seemed like a good time to do this because I have been planning to do one for a while now. The time felt right. So I was given a poster-board and I went out a purchased another one cause I have a BIG VISION...lol..and Im going to get two more poster-boards...HA HA!!
I got a few magazines and went to work.>>>>>>> FAST FORWARD
A few days ago...I won a competition called "The Track Off" check the previous blog. It was such an awesome victory, not only because I won but because it helped me to see that people are truly supporting me and I appreciate it a great deal.
The prize for the winner of The Track Off was a mention in the RedEye Newspaper.
I get a call from a friend of mine early Thursday morning trying to tell me something but the connection was so bad that they decided to text me. I get the text and its says "Saw U In The Red Eye!!" I immediately jump out of bed hop in the car and go to the nearest place that had the paper. I grabbed a handful. As soon as I got to the car I frantically flipped through the pages just to see my picture posted PROMINENTLY on page 35. I was overwhelmed. As exciting as it was to win it was even more exciting to see Precise in the paper.
I have never met Kyra Kyles outside of twitter and we never even discussed the song, however the way she described it was perfect and is exactly what and how I wished to convey the message of the song "It's On Me"
And I Quote....
It's On Me
Precise
"Armed with an arresting instrumental and a strong message about community responsibility, Precise earned a decisive track-off victory in the rap leg of the competition. "Its On Me", avoids being preachy, while offering street intel and advice through clever analogies and a crafty call and response approach. Precise flows in perfect cadence over an instrumental that sounds like it traveled here from the 90's and you'll be glad you made the trip." Kyra Kyles RedEye
...and then.....I get a twit saying that I was mentioned on WGN news...Channel 9 in Chicago..... see it @about 1:20 mark
