Productive
Wrapping up my mixtape. I’ve never released a compilation of songs before. I’m used to doing only 1 or 2 at a time. This was really fun looking back at it. Always learning something new when working with Pro Tools. Perhaps I shall make another mixtape soon. What a way to celebrate National Poetry and Writing Month. I’m satisfied.

Hello… You’ll find out...

Mixtape Delay

However, it did push me to write and record like hell. I have tracks done, but it ain’t set yet. I am going to push it back and I hope to release the final product next Monday on April 16th.
