Thanks for 100! (Chicago, 2010)

November 2nd, 2022: Take a look at the 2020 update. The platform I reached this on is dead.Show more

*********April 26th 2020 Update:********

I looked over bits of this video and want to clear up several things.

#1 I don't actually have 100,000 fans across my current social media at this time. I did have it on Myspace, & Facebook stats. Who knows what the Law of Attraction has planned. If I put positive vibes out to the universe it will come back to me (and IT HAS). I was projecting what I wanted in this video. I no longer have interest in being signed (I declined several record deals).

#2. You don't have to be famous to earn a living off your music. People intertwine fame & success a lot, like you have to have fame to be successful. This is not true.
I earn a living off my music and I can live my life in piece. The older I get, the less interested I am in fame. I audition in LA and NYC & I'm good homie.

#3 Some of the ppl I gave shoutouts in this video, we no longer talk & in 2020 hindsight we wasn't friends in the 1st place. Tip: Some friendships only last for a season. If you're in school reading this, take all the videos, photos you can, because even if the friendships don't last the memories do!

#4 I rather have 100,000 on my email list than on social media. Having large social media presence is great, don't get me wrong. But if something happens to that social media you're out of luck. By having emails, you own it & will still have a way to get in touch with your people even when social media is not in the picture. Look at what happened to Vine & Myspace.

November 2010 is nuts. It's also a month I will always remember. My page grew 50,000+ fans in just 1 month! Thanks! You have no idea how MUCH this means to me. I'll never forget. In this video, I wanted to give shoutouts to high school, college buds & peeps that i know personally. Thanks for all the memories :) I love you always! I have two vids. Some of my friends were wondering what i was talking about. THIS IS IT. The chances of me getting SIGNED is higher now. If this Silky Slick epidemic continues, I''ll be able to grab the deal. I missed so many people, know i didnt forget about you. You know the drill, i say names wrong. A lot of noise in the background and my mom thinks it was funny how i was running across the street(s) to keep from getting ran over. (and yes it was funny when i looked at it later hahaha yall know im nuts by now. Thanks for 100,000! :) LOVE YOU.
