The Daily Dose: Why “Boys Will Be Boys” ?
Me listening to “Weekend Come” moments after recording it.
Now back to the question at hand….
Its simple really, the first project was “Higher Learning”, which was basically me tryna justify chasing my dreams and following my heart. It dealt more with the internal and emotional struggles I was going through at the time. I was in essence tryna find and justify myself. I listen to it and only now, a year and a half on, realise how vulnerable a lot of it was. It felt good to let go of all that and finally come clean with myself, and those who know me, about what I wanted from life. Basically, it was they “WHY” of the path I’m on. So with me being, the student of the game, and the game being life…the lesson was to seek and embrace purpose in life.
Then shortly after releasing #SOTG1.0, I was fortunate enough to land an amazing gig in Singapore. Which saw me for the very first time really making a living off of my passion. It was truly a blessing, but also a curse, it gave me a short glimpse into what “the life” could be like. I made the most of every second and just had fun, I was free, I’d proved myself right….or at least I thought so. But in reality, I took my off the bigger picture for a second. But sure as hell had fun doing it…
And I regret none of it. So this next project is filling you all in on the ups and downs of that period between now and the first one. Its the other side of me, the one with a lust for life and all its vices and temptations. Its the period in this journey, where I look back and say oh well “Boys Will Be Boys”.
But just like the first project there’s a lesson in it, and basically that is that its all good to know ur “WHY” but what u do with it is just as important. And thats the story I hope to express in whatever project comes after #SOTG2.0.
The aim of this one musically and conceptually, is to show another side of myself. Because I’m human, and I wanna try and always reflect that…flaws and all. The track above is “Weekend Come” produced by DJ Macson, another extremely talented Zimbabwean musician. Its not hip-hop, but its still music I love. Everytime I had my two days off in Singapore I’d hit Sentosa Beach and just let loose to this kinda music. So I’m so proud of this one and excited about its future…
Enjoy 
Peace,Love & glow-sticks….
