around 2 am.

My oldest brother Ian called.

The rapper.

He wants me to consider becoming a songwriter/producer/backing band for him in the studio and on the road. Essentially, he is not happy with his current sound. He wants to bring energy to his tracks and bring a lot more presence to the stage. So, I am starting to consider it.

Which means, I really need to get my recording setup going

Link to rap stuff.

and whats so interesting about that? Thats fucking great news. That is what you should have been doing this whole time.

That is how we felt.

Sounds like a fucking sweet idea, yo.

Indeed.

?uestlove is fucking dirty, by the way.

Goddamn.

Id rather just listen to him rap without those beats. Hes got sick tone, the beats on the other hand are meh

That is exactly how he feels.

His current producer is also being a dick about letting him have his beats when the producer can't go on tour. But they are boys, so instead of getting into it with him he is just going to look elsewhere for his beats. I wanted to start getting into the production game (I have been madly in love with Ratatat recently) so this will give me a chance to work with a rap artist who actually knows what he is doing.

Thats not some ones "boy" if theyre acting like that broski

I pretty much feel the same way, but they have known each other forever so ... .

Either way, it is that kind of behavior that became the catalyst for him to look to his family. My other brother Ryan is a business man who is helping Ian with his marketing and such. They live together now too, and after I graduate I am kind of considering moving up there as well. Charlotte is a pretty big city (it is a big banking town), and I am sure I can find some bullshit job doing something up there.

At least it wouldn't be Myrtle Beach , and this really seems to be my best shot at trying to do something serious with my music.

This is legit as fuck.
I would love to hear you make some beats.
