On The Slow Burner

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Friday 16th of May 2025. And yeah, like this is something that we wanted to talk about like pretty much since the beginning of the week. But essentially, essentially, I've, you know, obviously I've been talking a lot about structure, but I've been talking about

0:00

kind of like, you know, the importance of structure and how important it is to have things done in a particular way so that you can be a little bit more consistent, particularly pertaining to my rap music career and how I plan to just basically kind of like undertake everything, just basically because there's so many hats that I have to wear and there's so many things that I have to do and I only have so much time, kind of like given the fact that I'm a father, a husband, you know, friends to

many people, a brother to many people, than this, that, and the third. And so with all of that being said, with all of that being said, I wanted to talk about, at the moment, kind of like,

I don't wanna go full steam ahead with everything that I'm doing music-wise because I'm a little bit low on resources. So obviously time is a resource, money is a resource and these are things that I have to create. I've done quite a fair amount of work to basically create as much time as possible for me to be able to create the art that I make, promote the art that I make and effectively make a business from the art that I create.

But at the same time, I'm still kind of like needing to kind of like get, you know, money and figure out the money aspect of it so that I can also build that up as a resource because I require it to make investments, etc, etc, etc. So what I'm doing is, is I'm trying to structure things in such a way like I'm already like mapping the structure out. There's already kind of like a general skeleton of the said structure, which effectively is going to outline like all of the tasks,

like it's going to, you know, the daily tasks, weekly tasks that I need to basically undertake in order to just be consistent with promoting myself, promoting my brand, building my brand, you know, kind of like figuring out my storytelling and all of those things. And effectively, like, you know,

just kind of like keeping my music alive. Because one thing is to kind of like, you know, bring, you know, kind of like make something from nothing. The next thing is to kind of like, you know, make it, you know, you know, it's easy to make music mean something to you. But, you know, making music means something to like other people. That's the next challenging part. And that's, you know, which is, you know, my way of saying like, you know, keeping music alive. So it's like there's one thing to kind of like make music come alive, but the next challenge is to kind of like keep music alive. So that's like, you know, keeping music kind of

like going so it stays in the hearts and minds of people. So yeah, I'm just kind of like trying to figure out a system where I can effectively do like, you know, small daily tasks on a daily basis that don't take up much of my time because I then need to use that time to boost kind of like you know money as a resource so that I can begin to invest that you know invest more of that into my music brand. So effectively it's kind of like not necessarily putting music on a back burner in the traditional sense in the way that it's understood, still kind of like being active doing things actively musically but then kind of like doing the bare minimum so that I can keep on growing at a steady pace whilst I basically just boost my income in that sense.
