CLARITY, not but for a moment it is more of my constant, unlike those that walk and breathe in haze. Yep YOU are right, it’s Two Thousand & Ten therein I’m gonna talk it, you can call it my new phase.

Last year I heard a brilliant analogy that describes a culture that exists within the music industry. They likened the actions of some to J. R. R. Tolkien’s “The Lord Of The Rings”. I’ll paraphrase what he said; as soon as a project or an opportunity or a bit of notoriety falls into an artist or producer’s hands they succumb to the darkness and try to rule those that were a moment before their equal.

I must admit that within my 21-year career I only had a couple of disappointments. For the most part, my experiences have been relatively positive. I didn’t spend much time reflecting on the culture of bad behavior until recently when a project I was working on befell the curse of the ole divide and conquer. As I listen to each party blame the other both stating “it’s just business” I remember the words uttered last year, “yo Sha! This is just like Lord of The Rings”. WORD! He was dead on with that analogy.

In real life unlike the movie, there is no tangible device in which we can lay blame. Unfortunately that element is within our spirit. I hope, NO I pray that when the ring falls into my hands that I will be guarded from it’s impurities and will rise above my lower desires.

In the meantime; I’ll push the cross fader, soundboy sound system much greater than the catgut & pickups. I’m a Brooklyn Boy we get up, till the life ends. It’s 2010 let the saga begin… The Fellowship of The Ring.
