Tuesday, the 29th of September 2026. In the context of doing whatever it is that we can in our artistic intent to turn our dreams into a reality. I've come to terms with the notion that we really do create the reasons for and the reasons against doing certain things. irrespective of whether the things that we do, um, aid us or they work against us. We ourselves create the reasons and the line of reasonings behind why we should or shouldn't do them. And I suppose that requi

Monday, the 28th of September 2026. Really and truthfully at the point in time in which I'm recording this reflection, I'm thinking about, um, you know, how uncomfortable, like, uh, my music career is, and uh, I have spoken about um, discomfort being your friend like earlier this week. Um, or a couple of days ago, however you want to, however you want to interpret it. Um, but the key thing that I want to focus on today is the simple fact that as uncomfortable as this is, as

Sunday, the 27th of September, 2026. So, um, I'm starting to rack up quite a bit of a number for myself in terms of like the projects that um, I've worked on and the projects that are in work in progress when it comes to songs. I mean, yesterday I mentioned off the record, I know that I have, I ask myself as another single, I know I've got roses. One of them that I'm thinking of in particular, which is quite fresh. I mean freshly written, still not finished. It's called Peo

Saturday, the 26th of September 2026. One of the lines that I've been reflecting on comes from the song Off the Record. It's currently unofficially released, and it's one of the songs that will feature on the mixtape, the free phases of easy. And the line goes something along the lines of like, um, I was 4 years old when I learned what death was and that God didn't love me. You know, specifically focussing on the lion or the part that says, God didn't love me. You know, I

Friday the 25th of um September 2025. As I begin to think about how artists are stereotypically associated with being sensitive to feedback, and uh, you know, having a particular way of reacting to negative, uh, stimuli or negative emotions. I also begin to juxtaposition that thought and that idea with how, you know, the things that we are often looking for, the things that we often desire. Um, seldom lie in the position of comfort. Uh, and how often at times for the things

Thursday the 24th of September 2026. One of the things that I'm going to be talking about in this reflection is how challenging it is not to move with this sense of urgency, especially because from the perspective of a consumer, uh, which I was for a very long time, looking at hip hop, looking at rap, um, you know, everything essentially felt very, um, everything felt very, uh, not lucid, uh, but lucid for a lack of a better way of putting it. Things felt very cohesive and t

Tuesday, the 23rd of September 2026. Right now, what I'm thinking about is the infinite limitations of my mind. And, uh, essentially how far my mind can go to imagine or create an idea. Um, in the same way that I can look at a cup that is on my desk right now, I can close my eyes and imagine a cup without necessarily materialising or needing to put together. Um, the, uh, the necessary um, physical, biological, uh, chemical, um, requirements or materials to put this cup toget

An honest reflection on creativity, rap, and the exhausting search for something that doesn't exist. The irony of writing about perfectionism As I'm preparing this article, I'm thinking about the perfect way to say it. The perfect structure. The perfect instrument to use. The perfect way to put all of these thoughts together. I'm worried about it being messy. Incohesive. Jumbled up. Confusing. Not perfect. And the irony isn't lost on me. I'm sitting here trying to write an ar

Monday, the 13th of April 2000 and uh 26. I think that in my case, especially when it comes to, you know, my music career, success wears a different t-shirt. In UK popular culture, um, or UK popular rap culture, I'm not entirely certain, um, you know, what I'm, uh, you know, I'm not entirely certain what I'm talking about in terms of like the terminology, but I definitely know what I'm talking about in the instance. Success wears a particular t-shirt, you know, the Rolexes,
