I'm over (Not what you think hahahaha)

Let's talk about the title first, i ain't over with rap, this is my passion, my life. I'm over is the name of a new song i'm adding to the  tracklist of my first solo EP, Storylines (Below you will see all the tracks present on the EP, they CAN CHANGE, but at the moment, this is the tracklist i'm working on). I've been working like a mad dog on this one, i'm writing everything in my lyrics book, this is a very successfull brainstorm actually. Here is a line i find decent from my previous brainstorm: ''And all I asked was a chance to get in, but you laid a single blink like you don’t understand,
So while you taste your biggest rush ever, I’m glad to say goodbye, fuck it, I’m over.''
In this song, i tell how much i've tried to be another person, a better human being, when others somehow stop me from achieving this, and that know i understand where i belong so i'm not wasting time changing the dude i am. If you didn't read my previous post, i explained that this EP will be focused on my life, and what i'm going through psychologically and everything. So here's the minimalist tracklist at the moment:

D-Steel: Storylines EP
1-(Skit #1) Steel strong
2-Storylines
3-Gatling guns (Feat. TapeHeads)
4-I'm over (Feat. TurtleFree)
5-Ryan
6-Life in Red
7-(Skit #2) Steel remember

As i said 4-5 tracks were supposed to be present on the EP. There will be 5 with two skits. I'm not telling you about the skits right now, still working in a pertinent message along with the word i already wanted to spread in these skits. Further info, tomorrow or in two days. See you guys!

Storylines

Hey. You, you dear follower, or just reader of my blog. Yes i vanished again. Internet problems kinda sucks. But well i'm back, and im beginning something new, something big.

As you may know im part of the rap/hip-hop formation White Thrash with my dear friend Turtle Free, and TapeHeads is making our beats and somewhat making featurings on a couple of songs (The album is not out yet, probably not before 6 months or more.). Well i decided, on my own without talking to my friends about it (they will know by reading this post.)to make a solo EP while our production for The Conclusion is on stand-by, i'll work on them at the same time. The solo EP is currently going to feature 4-5 songs. Anyways, i hope tapeheads will follow me into this project, and i'd like a feature of my colleague Turtle Free on the album too. I already wrote a line or two. Like :«Woke up this morning, asked myself ''should i quit?'', but family and friends ain't nothing to fuck with.». Anyways i already have a couple ideas in my head, the subject of this album evolves around me, what i'm going through psychologically and how i deal with different everyday problems. I think this is a good choice of subject for a first solo EP. The EP is called: ''Storylines''. Currently there's 2 tracks that i began to work on, that will probably keep their names on the final product.
One is called, obviously: Storylines and the other one goes by the name of Gatling Guns. This is all i had to say for today, i don't really feel well these days, and this sudden sadness somewhat inspires me some good lyrics. Other news soon.

Now that's something!

Well, well, well. What do we have today? News? Yep. Good ones.  Lyrics sample? What do you expect? YES!

 I can, in all honesty say that for the first time in my life, i feel like i'm doing someting, i mean really. I started writing stuff on paper since i'm 9.Even 8, can't remember exactly. In fact, i always had an admiration for rappers, not only for rappers, for artists in general, for music overall. That being said, i never really liked what i was writing, i felt it was not good enough, not as i expected it to be, you know? Sure, i gave birth to some mad rhymes even at my beginnins but i felt that they... they never matched well with what i had in mind. I can say today, that all my efforts let to this, here, this moment, the single moment were i'm writing for future fans and for friends. Where i'm writing and i feel that i'm not writing for nothing, when i do this blog as well as when i write lines, i feel they gon' be going somewhere. It all makes sense now for some reasons. ''For some reasons'' is a weak statement as i know some of them. Most importantly, my friend Turtle and my other friend but also my ''manager'' as i like to call him or my ''boss'', daddy TapeHeads. This guy, it doesn't look like it, but he's doing mad stuff. In all honesty, i have the conviction it's because of him that we'll get known. He produces or beats, he makes collabs with people all over the worl, y'know? He's fucking 16 and he's doing this. He's going somewhere for sure, and we, we are following him in some ways, sure he's not writing our lyrics, but he's producing, ultimately propagating our stuff, ourselves, he's getting us closer to our dream, and this, this has no price. He's not your average friend. That's why we call him Daddy Tape, he helps us in this rap game like a dad would do in real life. We didin't even do our first single yet, and yet he's already babbling about how it will be awesome. That's cheering me up. Anyways y'all know what im talking 'bout. Im finally fucking doing something usefull with my life, writing, singing, and maybe at the end, make money out of my passion. And i can't thank my two buddies enough. So, let's get to the ''News'' part.


IT'S JUNE. This means: The recording of ''Quiet In Church'' and ''Drastic Measures Feat. TapeHeads''. Man i'm happy, and guess what? We already have the two basic beats that just need a lil' bit of tweeking, and that is all. I plan (I mean ''I'' because i haven't talked about it to Free or Tape yet) to work with the new Acid Zebra Record members. It's somethin i'm looking forward to! I hope they'll be as excited as i am! And for your pleasure, here's the draft of the chorus of Drastic Measures! So, that's all for today, see you guys tomorrow!

Drastic Measures:
Tape: «Pshhhhhht! So we callin' patient 1»
D-STEEL: «Rap enclosure, Hip-Hop seizures«
Free:«Doc, i think we need Drastic Measures!!!»
D-STEEL: <Chop his leg, make him beg, if he bleeds, if he needs medicine, rap's the only medicine.»
Free:«Wow, Doctor's in, the emergency is evident, no ambulance, put him in a red and white mini-van»
Tape:«Y'all crazy, this dude needs me, bring the MCs back, put a track, he's gonna do a fucking heartattack!»
D-STEEL: «Rap enclosure, Hip-Hop seizures»
Free:«Doc, i think we need Drastic Measures!!!»
