Well, technically, if you count the mixtapes, EPs, and other random tracks, it’s way over 100, but officially, I’ve released 100 songs on my “TrackLog” series. The 100th song is a nice kinda look back.
This website started as a place for me to post music. I started it at a time in my life when I was horribly depressed and without direction, when I was hating my job and finding nothing that could make me feel happy or passionate in my day to day life. It took the urging of some very good friends to start creating music again, after taking a long hiatus during grad school. To make music for the sake of just DOING something. Slowly, it grew to take over my life, and the guy with the weird name (that I never intended to be my actual emcee name) had made a song or two that got blogged or tweeted about by some people. And the rest, as they say, is history.
I always get mildly defensive when people tell me what I should use this site for. How I post too much free music and dilute my brand. How I release rough, mixtape-style stuff that isn’t always the best showcase of my skills. How I jack beats, and make dumb songs about whatever idea is in my head. How I post it, and forget about most of the songs on here. But to me, that’s kind of the point. I mean, no offense…the TrackLog isn’t for YOU. It’s for ME. If you enjoy the ride, then, by all means, listen, download, whatever. If you hate a song, most likely in a week or so, a new one will pop up that is vastly different from the one before. If you think it’s too much, then don’t look back in the archives; and if you think I release too much free music, then delete these tracks from your library.
This website gave me the opportunity to make a living out of doing the only thing I’ve ever wholeheartedly loved doing in my life. It gave me an identity. It gave me a reason to be happy, to feel like life wasn’t so bleak and empty. And make no mistake, I’m lucky to have every fan that comes to this page. But trust me when I say, I’d be doing this if no one came here. I’ll probably keep doing it long after anyone cares.
100 songs. Just a track to look back and take stock. And to shake yo booty to.
