Dealing with the pressure of the music business and writing books.

Sometimes doing book signings every weekend can be tough. Don't get me wrong I love doing it but sometimes I get tired. Sometimes I feel like resting or relaxing but I know it's not best right now. I have to push through and keep going.

I have a lot to be thankful for but it also comes with responsibility. I have a new album coming out called "The Martyr" 8/20/11 and I must admit I feel a little pressure to promote it and get it out to all the stores on time. It's an independent release so it's me and my team that has to do it all. The pressure comes from having to lead and having to follow through with what I said. I know that I can do it, but I'm studying myself trying discover all of my feelings. I know it's normal but I'm simply looking to learn myself in order to get a better way to deal with pressure.

I tell myself that hey it's just a Cd but in the back of my mind it's really more than that to me. Last week I went to the studio to record a new song for the album after this one. My goal is to be consistent with great music and learn how to promote the best way possible. Now I understand why they say that hip hop is only 10% talent and 90% business.
