Che uses this term to describe the good and the bad happening at the same time. well you probably know about the tour we went on thru Canada and how things went awry. we came back, had a great show on May 7th with Wale and dem (J Cole, Big Sean, Colin Munroe) and been prepping to drop our new album Brooklynati on May 12th. the whole album is up on our myspace page now, and everyone has been talking about how much they like it. we just did 2 release parties in philly and dc and sold out of the cds we had already, and the press seems to love the album. right after the DC show i get a call from my father saying that my 16 year old brother was just jumped and got cut across his face. I call him and hes in an ambulance covered in blood (covered…i seen the clothes). now the worst part of being on the road is when a family emergency happens and youre far away…thats when you feel selfish, thats when you feel like youre bullshitting, thats when you wish you were by your families side. theyre in a hospital at 3am and im in a hotel wishing i could get on a greyhound to ny.

im here now on mothers day sitting with my mother, and its the anniversary of her mothers death, and her son is sitting here bandaged up with a big cut across his face because some clowns had nothing better to do but to pick on some kids leaving the library. though it could have been much worse, i cant help but be pissed at what my brother is dealing with. i dont know what possesses people to want to cause harm to another person in such a permanent way for no reason at all. how lost and miserable do you have to be with your own life? its terrifying to realize that there are people that are so lost in their own identity. not knowing who you are, not knowing you have a purpose, never having guidance in your life, will lead you to becoming an animal. animals attacked my brother last night, so its hard for me to care about some music right now.
