My Life...

Too busy to relax they say

Complaints, excuses everyday

They sound so weak, so stressed, so tired

A mundane world in which they’re mired

No time to sit and just be quiet

Their mind’s a rush of thoughts, a riot

No chance they have to hear the sound

Of nature’s wonder all around

Of birds and trees and clouds and air

Too much work, it’s just not fair

This really seems quite sad to me

So much to do, no time to be

Breathe I say and move a bit

Then after that we can just sit

And watch the world at its own pace

There is no rush, it’s not a race

And if it were, what is the goal?

Where are you going mind, body, soul?

Too busy to relax I hear

These words seem like they’re based in fear

Tired, weak and too much stress

How did our lives turn such a mess?

We don’t need to look above

To find a place that’s based in love

Turn instead and look within

Find your self, it is no sin

Forgive, let go, open your heart

It is the only place to start

Think on that and you might find

Throughout your life you have been blind

Breathe I say and move some more

Run, walk, jump, stretch on the floor

Move your body, get up and go

Feel the energy, let it flow

Don’t get caught in negative

Habits that won’t let you live

Too busy to relax? Not true!

This hoax must end, it starts with you

If all you do is just the same

You never will escape this game

Do something new, do something Zen

Begin right now, not ‘if’ or ‘when’

Do one thing different, or two, or five

Change how you live, become alive

Do or do not, there is no try

Step off the cliff and start to fly

Begin with this, you won’t go wrong

Remember to breathe, deep and long. ©Aaron Hoopes

The Zeitgeist

Have you ever wanted to walk with an artist? Figure out what's going on with them in their everyday life...FOR REAL!?
I've been thinking about that for the longest, and I figure that I can make a change. I can be the first person to actually let people in on what's going on in my life constantly!
So here's the plan that I've discussed with my team, AFP!

1. Starting in the first week of January (through the entire year), I'm going to post an episode every week just giving you some scoop on what's going on in my life.
2. On the last week of every month, I'm going to drop an EP. It will have at least 4 tracks, but no more than 10.

That's pretty much it. A whole bundle put into a few simple words. I think it's going to be really fun doing this! I'm pretty damn excited!
As of right now, I'm finishing up recording for "Static On Your Radio" which might just be my drop for January.
Also, in between some of the EPs, I might drop some mixtapes! It won't be often, but it'll be something that keeps you all entertained!
Let me know what you think of this...






Love,
BK


PS - I'll keep you in my prayers if you do the same for me.

The Busy Man

Anonymous

If you want to get a favor done
by some obliging friend,
And want a promise, safe and sure,
on which you may depend,
Don't go to him who always has
much leisure time to plan,
If you want your favor done,
just ask the busy man

The man with leisure never has
a moment he can spare,
He's always "putting off" until
his friends are in despair
But he whose every waking hour
is crowded full of work
Forgets the art of wasting time,
he cannot stop to shirk

So when you want a favor done,
and want it right away,
Got to the man who constantly
works twenty hours a day
He'll find a moment somewhere,
that has no other use
And help you, while the idle man
is framing an excuse

El Verdad

What you see below this post concerning "Static On Your Radio" are lies! I'm sorry I lied to you about these things.
That is NOT the official artwork for the mixtape.
That is NOT the official track listing for the mixtape.
There is NOT going to be ANY single release prior to the mixtape drop.
And, obviously, the mixtape is NOT going to drop on December 1.

The truth, is that we're going back in to add some richness to the project. I was not pleased with what we had, so I am doing more in order to correct. The date is pushed back, but it is going to be better than it would have been yesterday!
We are looking for a release this month... But if that does not work out, it will drop in January. At the absolute latest, February. If I do not have this done on time, I will quit music for good.
PERIOD.

Thanks for sticking with me on that. More info coming your way very soon.




Much love,
BK

Static On Your Radio - Artwork




Not the most amazing thing you may have seen. But that was not our aim.
Don't judge a book by the cover...it's what's on the INSIDE that counts!

Looking forward to finishing it up for you, and looking forward to your feedback from the project.

Music Monday: "Uptown Freeverse"


Hi, it's me again...I know you miss me! :-)
If you're following me on Twitter, you might know that I've been in the studio working on a TON of new projects. You might also know that one day I was goofin' around in the stu and ended up recording the following track:



The "Uptown Freeverse" is just me spittin' over my homey Drake's song "Uptown" off of his mixtape "So Far Gone". You should listen to his version too! And also check out the dude XV's version here! I know there's a bunch more out there...but I really like those -- and that's all I know by heart (LOL). So check out mine and let me know what you think!

My next mixtape is supposed to drop Decemeber 1, so stay tuned!
