Letter to My Daughter

Hey you.. how you doing girl.. So your birthday is coming up. Wow its been 4 years already. Wanted to tell you a little story. A Long time ago in this little city called Atlanta there was this little boy. This little boy grew up to be a man. When he became a man he started his life so forth & so on.. But one day his entire world changed & do you know why? He had a baby girl. Oh she was the most adorable thing he had laid his eyes on. When he looked into that little girls eyes he knew that there was a GOD. You showed him he had what it took. He watched that little girl when she took her 1st steps... seemed like she was talking in no time lol. You know what that man asked GOD for. He asked GOD to give him the wisdom to raise his daughter to be a lady.. a woman of standard & distinction. To equip him with heart to show his daughter who she is, to know who she is & aid her in becoming a woman. So that when she enters into adulthood she wont enter empty & searching for something. I know your only 4.. but 1 day you'll understand.. Kaylyn Alexandre Route i love you with a love that only GOD can provide . And as i sit on my bed in tears right now hoping that i have been half the man & father that you love me for. You are the greatest part of me. I love you so much. I know daddy is gone a lot. But its because i need you to be proud of me. I need you more than fish need water. You are truely daddy's princess. I smile at your arrogance.. i love your sarcasm, i hate when you cry & your hugs make my hard life a day at the beach.. You are my heart living outside of my body. Happy Birthday Baby.. from your Daddy.

Music review in written form



Make a Happy Meal or Happy Mill

Based on the variables that assist in the forecasting viral videos views to actually generate revenue. Based on the U.S. standard minimum wage amount. So if you think this business is that easy... think again.. Dont go looking for labels.. Let them come looking for you.

Who Needs an A&R?



In the past 5 years, the LA based registry that tally's how many music executives have been hired & fired reported that the music executives responsible for the talent scouting & development position(in short A&R) has recorded 319 total fired from the position.
So many are asking "how do i get signed?" Its very true.. There is not going to be a person who's going to walk you into a label after hearing your demo. The a&r's have become the dj's, the bloggers,the radio & last but not least the fans. Stop dreaming of a storyteller fantasy of being signed & get out & work.

2 Chainz to assist in A&R facet for Ludacris Next Album


2011 proved to be a breakout year for 2 Chainz(formerly known as Tity Boi). After his performance at 106 & Party, 2 Chainz sat down with BET to discuss his power moves behind the scenes that will fuel his rise as a solo artist in 2012. After signing with longtime friend Ludacris's DTP label as half of rap duo Playaz Circle, the group made a big splash on the music radar with chart topper Duffle Bag Boy ft. Lil Wayne off their album Supply & Demand. After a few years of inactivity, Tity Boi reemerges on the seen as 2 Chainz as a solo artist in 2011. While the methods used by major labels to promote artist has not shown promising, 2 Chainz chose to release mixtapes & viral videos to rise through the ranks. This process has proved beneficial & as a result Ludacris recently appointed 2 Chainz as co-A&R for his up and coming album Ludaversal. 2 Chainz states" I gave Luda a few records for his latest mixtape 1.21 Gigawatts: Back To The FIRST Time. So you should expect something different from Luda."
