my love of flow and cadence.
So when we eventually flunked
college, and pondered on our next
move, we came to a conclusion
that we have something to say, and
we have a gift of gab; lets run it!
“I had an urge to
listen to more
music with
meaning.”
TRAILBLAZZOR MUZIK
When I was about 7 or 8 years
old, I was into Bone Thug’s N
Harmony’s style. Me and Barz
use to record ourselves on cassettes mimicking their cadence
for hour and hours. So they got
me into the technical side of
hip hop. So from then on to college, we would rap as a hobby.
But throughout hardships, fist
fights, financial issues, awareness with world affairs, witnessing shootouts and almost being
killed, alcoholism, weed, and
ecstasy abuse, I had a urge to
listen to more music with meaning.
See I wasn’t into Nas, Pac, Biggie,
Pun etc. I was bumpin’ crunk sh*t,
bust a head type sh*t, sh*t that
captured my rage. But eventually through hardships, I started
listening to Joe Budden, Pac,
and Boosie in college. That
gave me the inspiration to bring
some heart and honesty in
my lyrics and combine it with
I plan to be an example by making music exactly how I see fit, and
that you can make money doing
so. That you can be the leader
of your situation, simply because
I see many examples today. Instead of chasing platforms, you
could be going after the people
and be grass roots with it. That is
why I am not really fond of many
mainstream rappers accept for
maybe Cole or Kendrick. Because
I see it as a person that can be
a dope emcee from a pure place
while branding himself and making money independently is an
art form in itself. So I want other
young artists to see that.
TrailBlazzor to me means that we
blaze our own path due to the
decisions we make. Whether we
manifest a life experienced as
a failure or a victor, we created
that path, we blazed the trail. And
that’s what most of my content
is about, my decisions, right or
wrong. But I aim to show people
that you are ultimately in control
of your reality for the most part.
