The Genesis

January 2005

My what a difference 3 years make.....
i remember like it was yesterday it was a new year and i had big plans like all us do...
u know how u be like this year imma...
or this year its bout go down....
yea yea the same mentality we all have when a new calenders put on a thumb tack...
so one freezing january i decides to go to
New York
Big City of dreams to record
so i hustles up a hot 200 bucks spend 75 bucks on a greyhound ticket and pack my jansport with the little bullshit gear i had....
like 2 pair of jeans and a couple thermals
i had a army surplus jacket that i wore over a champion hoody and some Rockport gore-tex...i caught a 12 hour bus ride to wake up to the one thing that reminds me im in "NY".....Hot Dogs i dont what it is but soon as i arrive to
Port Authority i have to get a hot dog with extra onion sauce and of course a pepsi...i hits the A train to Brooklyn to go over my nigga Trav crib...get off at Utica and met up wit my homey by now i had like 100 bucks left so its nothing else to do but get chronic....grabbed some brain food then we headed to Queens .....where i stayed the next week recording songs at Fire and Ice Studio's ....during that week me and my homey/engineer recorded what my homey Trav ended up naming "Detroit State of Mind" totally his idea with the title...but who knew 2 months later i would get arrested on some old charges which lead me to doing 8 months in the Wayne County Jail....they say u cant go forward until you go back ....so im starting this blog off right with the one that started it all "D.S.O.M"....(to be continued)
