My Thoughts On Joe City Live (so far)

My dream since I've been 9 years old was to make music. I live, breathe, eat, sleep, shit, and piss music. I been trying SOOOOO hard to make something happen with it too, and I have for SOOOOO long. I get frusturated sometimes, especially when it feels like you are out here alone with no help... I mean what the fuck is goin on? The only person that always kicks it with me and is always there is my dj, KRUNK WHAT UP!!!? My group is Joe Mizzery for life, and they been comin around a lot more lately too which is way coo, cus we definitely need to come together more. I been working on some new shit with Beretta B too which kicks ass cus that's who I started rapping with in the 1st place! It was only right that I had Beretta host Joe City Live with me. Also being the coo motha fucka that I am, I had to recognize the talent Shine Dope has, and put him on and let him headline so he can get the attention I feel he deserves, he's definitely been on his grind! Shouts out to 99 ent and Sumo too by the way! When Krunk, Miestro (whats up homie!?) and I (proper grammar motha fucka lol) brainstormed this idea up for Wednesdays we KNEW we couldn't just make it a concert, cause JOE CITY (the place that we named OUR shit after) wouldn't support a concert. So we're like, fuck it, we'll make it a party and have 3-4 15 minute slots a night! We usually have a guest appearance every time. Every other Wednesday seems to be going pretty good, every OTHER one that is... I mean is it so hard to come and support someone you've lived down the block from FOREVER??? It shouldn't be, but it is.

Beretta B posted this on Facebook:
This is how our town people do us! Some cats come from outta town and go to the college and throw a party and they tell females to promote it and they put it on they status send invites and do the hole 9 pass out flyers and err thing but when somebod...y from the st joe is tryin to get somethin poppin they wanna hate on us and not help us out at all!!?! I don't understand this. Why not show love to people that u grew up with or kicced it with why can't yall show us the same love yall show ne body else from outta town?!? I don't get it and it not sad.. I'm not mad.. Just disappointed!!!

Is that not the truth? I don't understand it..... How can you not feel like you're at home, when you ARE at home???

I appreciate ALL of the support that we've gotten so far, more then any of you will know. The loyal people (meaning those who show up EVERY week), I appreciate that more then you will ever know! I've been performing on stage since I was 13, and this has been a cool experience for me. I'm not living my dream yet, but I'm on the road riding towards it, and I'm determined to make it no matter how long it takes. I couldn't believe that so few people came out to see us open up for Sean Paul, so I should NEVER EVER EVER expect anything from this place, right!? And to be completely honest, my focus is on getting the FUCK OUT of here, as far away as I can get. I will always say I'm from Joe City, I will represent it every breath until I die, because I'm from here and I'm not fake, but I HATE it here, and this is why....

I'm trying to do something positive, I'm trying my hardest to be a positive person. I take care of my kids, I work a full time job, and I do music ALL the time. I'm trying to live my dream, but I can't wake up from this nightmare. What am I supposed to do? I will leave as SOON as I get the chance, believe that, but until I do, can I PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE feel welcome in my own city? We are trying to do something for YOU, we want to draw attention to Joe City, positive attention to show what we are really about! And this is what I'm about, but what are YOU about? Are you satisfied? PEACE
