How was your 4th? Me--I kept the neighborhood awake til the next morning--lightin' up fireworks throuh the night! They had so much trash in their yards to clean up. I didn't get as many death threats this time, maybe next year. Have a great week. Keep in touch, hit the DARIUS up any time :D
Just passing through to spread some love from the Sanctified South! Have a Blessed week! Hey make sure to tell all your friends about me..I love spreading a positive message to those willing to listen. Continue to stay positive and keep God first in all you do!
Distinguish yourself...Building brand partnerships is probably more important than seeking that sought-after major recording contract. Start out with regional brands if you are an emerging artist.
