F**K-ACTION VOL. 1 MY FIRST RNB MIXTAPE |
I REMEMBER WATCHING TV AND WISHING DAT I CAN BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WALKING ON THE RED CARPET WITH THE STARS. I WAS DAT DUDE ALWAYS SINGING AND DANCING WHEREVER I WAS AT THE TIME. I PLAYED THE BACKGROUND IN ALOT OF SITUATIONS AND STILL DO TO THIS DAY. NOT CAUSE I WANT TO BUT CAUSE I HAD TO. EVERYBODY IS PUSHING TO BE "THAT DUDE". YOU MAY THINK I JUST POPPED UP IN 2005 AND TOOK OVER MY CITY ROE CITY BUT YOUR WRONG. I BEEN DOING THIS BUT I WAS PATIENT AND WAITED ON MY TIME TO SHINE. PATIENCE PLAYS A BIG PART IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS SO IF U HAVE NONE STAY IN SCHOOL OR KEEP YOUR DAY JOB. I STARTED OUT WITH BEATS HOW U WANT'EM PRODUCTIONS MADE UP OF RAPHAEL RJ2 AND KING AL AND I JOINED A RNB GROUP CALLED JUCE WITH "KNOBE, BELL, AND RAPHAEL" AND DID ALOT OF SHOWS. WE EVENTUALLY DISBANDED AND I DROPPED "BALL 2 I FALL" IN 1999 UNDER A LOCAL LABEL IN MONROE AND IT SOLD ALMOST 4,000 COPIES ON THE STREETS AND IN STORES. MY SINGLE THAT FEATURED LOCAL SUPASTAR CHILL DAWG GOT ALOT OF AIRPLAY AND THE RELEASE PARTY WAS PACKED FRONT TO BACK. IMAGINE A SKATING RING FULL OF PEOPLE SINGING THE CHORUS TO YOUR SONG U WROTE AND RECORDED. WELL THE CLUB USED TO BE A SKATING RING AND I WAS SITTING ON A ALL TIME HIGH THAT NIGHT. MY CEO WAS GONNA GET 8BALL AND MJG ON THE REMIX BUT A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER MY RELEASE PARTY MY CEO WENT TO JAIL... WELL.... MY LIFE CHANGED AFTER THAT CAUSE I JUS WAS A WRITER/SINGER AND I ONLY MADE BEATS FOR MYSELF. I DIDNT KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE BUSINESS SIDE OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. I NEVER GOT OUT THERE AND SOLD CDS OR PROMOTED CAUSE MY CEO HAD PEOPLE FOR THAT. MY PARENTS SPLIT, HOUSE BECAME UNDER FORCLOSURE, MY CAR DIED ON MY, AND I FOUND MYSELF STAYING WITH FRIENDS AND EVEN AT MY AT THE TIME GIRLFRIENDS HOUSE WITH HER PARENTS. YOU CAN ONLY STAY WITH PEOPLE FOR A LIMITED TIME AND THIS WENT ON FOR BOUT A YEAR. I ENDED UP MOVING TO TEXAS IN 2000 GOT A JOB AND REALLY LEFT MUSIC ALONE BUT I COULDNT STAY AWAY TOO LONG. I GOT A MANAGER (BRYAN NICO EMBREE R.I.P.) AND STARTED DOING SHOWS IN DIFFERENT STATES OPENING UP FOR TRINA, LUDACRIS, AND MORE. I LATER FORMED A GROUP CALLED UNKUT WITH MY BROTHER AND TWO OTHER GUYS AND WON A TEXAS TALENT SHOW OUT OF 1,000 GROUPS AND ARTISTS. WE DID ANOTHER TALENT SHOW THROWN BY GREG STREET AND AS WE WALKED OFF THE STAGE MY NEW MANAGER (TY LEWIS) ASKED HIM WHAT DID HE THINK AND HE SAID THEY NEED POLISHING BUT THEY HAVE IT ESPECIALLY THAT DUDE (ME). WE ALMOST GOT SIGNED TO ARISTA RECORDS BUT THE CEO OF THE LABEL TRIED TO NEGOTIATE WITH MY MANAGER TO GIVE US $25,000 SIGNING BONUS AND OUR UPFRONT MONEY WAS GONNA BE $300,000. HE TRIED TO BRIBE HIM BUT HE SAID NO AND WE PASSED ON THAT SHADY SITUATION. WE CAUGHT THE EAR OF EDDIE LEVERT JR. SON OF EDDIE LEVERT AND BROTHER OF GERALD LEVERT. ONLY PROBLEM WAS THAT HE ONLY WANTED ME TO SIGN WITH HIM AND I WASNT GOING FOR IT. I LATER ENDED UP GOING SOLO ANYWAYS AND ENDED UP MOVING BACK TO MONROE LOUISIANA. THAT FALL I RELEASED "KEEP IT UNKUT" AND STARTED GETTING ALOT OF SHOWS IN THE AREA. KEEP IT UNKUT STARTED PLAYING ON THE RADIO IN MONROE BY DJ PHAT OF 100.1 THE BEAT AT THE TIME AND NOW THE BIG STATION IN SHREVEPORT LA. GREG STREET WHEN HE WAS ON THE RADIO IN DALLAS PUT KEEP IT UNKUT ON PUMP IT OR DUMP IT BUT HE SAID I WAS FROM LOUISIANA AND A DALLAS ARTIST WON BY ONE VOTE. THE THING IS HE REMEMBER ME FROM THAT TALENT SHOW AND BUMPED MY SONG UP WHEN HE HAD 100'S OF SONGS WAITING TO BE PUMPED OR DUMPED. BACK IN MONROE AND I HAD NO JOB SO I TURNED TO TRYING TO SELL MY BEATS BUT I WAS OVERSHADOWED BY MY PARTNERS AT BEATS HOW U WANT'EM AND THEY WAS SELLING BEATS LIKE HOTCAKES. I USED TO GO TO THE HOOD CLUB MEMBERS HOME OF THE CAPTAIN FAITHFULLY ERRWEEKEND. I DROPPED A SONG CALLED "BUSS IT BUSS IT" AND IT SPREADED LIKE WILDFIRE ACROSS NORTHEAST LOUISIANA. I STARTED GETTIN SHOWS RIGHT OFF THE BACK AND MAKING SOME MONEY FINALLY. ERRTIME I WENT TO MEMBERS I WOULD SEE DIS LIL SKINNY DUDE JIGGING (STANLO) AND HE WOULD SPEAK TO ME AND ASKED ME BOUT GETTING A BEAT I GAVE HIM MY NUMBER AND TOLD HIM TO HAVE HIS CEO CALL ME. THAT LIL DUDE CALLED ME FOR MONTHS ON MONTHS ASKING IF I STILL HAD THE BEAT BUT HE SAID HIS MANAGER WENT TO JAIL AND THEY WAS ON THEY OWN. I TOLD THEM TO MEET ME AT BEATS HOW U WANTEM STUDIOS AND WE RECORDED TWO SONGS "YA MUG ME" AND "WE BE JIGGIN". WE BE JIGGIN WAS A INSTANT HIT IN THE CLUBS AND I CHANGED THE SOUND OF MONROE FROM THAT POINT ON. I STARTED PUTTIN MY NAME AFTER THE COMPANY TAG AND PEOPLE STARTED LOOKIN FOR ME FOR BEATS. I STARTED SOUFMADE ENT. WITH A PARTNER AND HOOKED UP WITH GREG GALLIEN AND STARTED DOING MORE SHOWS... I USED TO GET THESE LIL FOY CDS FROM THIS DUDE(FOYBOY) ERRTIME I SAW HIM AND NEVER LISTENED TO THEM.. HE ASKED ME FOR MY NUMBER AT A SHOW AT THE SKATING RING ONE DAY AND CALL ERRMONTH THEN HE FINALLY ASKED TO BOOK SOME STUDIO TIME FOR HIS SINGLE. HE RECORDED THE SONG AND I MIXED IT DOWN BUT I DIDNT LIKE THE BEAT. SO I MADE A DEAL WITH HIM AND SAID I'LL MAKE ANOTHER BEAT FOR FREE IF U DO EXACTLY AS I SAY TO PROMOTE IT.. HE DID AND CALLED ME ERRDAY... I SIGNED FOYBOY SHORTLY AFTER AND "BREAK U OFF PROPER" BECAME THE HOTTEST SONG ON THE RADIO AND CLUBS IN OUR MARKET. TIME WENT ON AND SOLDJA BOY CAME OUT WITH THE SUPERMAN SONG AND WAS WINNING SO ONE DAY I CALLED FOYBOY WHILE HE WAS AT GRAMBLING SPRING BLING DEAL AND SAID COME UP WITH A SONG WE CAN MAKE A DANCE TO. HE CALLED ME BACK IN BOUT 20 MINUTES PLAYING SOMEBODYELSES INSTRUMENTAL AND SAYING A HOOK THAT WOULD BECOME "SKATE". WE FORMED THE SOUFMADE CLICK (FOYBOY, YUNG GREED, YUNG STANLO, I) WE HAD ERRBODY DOING THIS DANCE IN THE CLUB EVEN GANGSTAS AND THUGS LOL. SHORTLY AFTER I GOT A CALL BOUT FOXX A DUDE WHO SIGNED TO TRILL ENT. AND WAS PROMOTING HIS SINGLE "WIPE ME DOWN".
