My first ever mixtape was Blood Sweat and Tears released in 2007 - A very dark mixtape very raw and uncut with various tracks about the struggles bein faced living in certain enviornments where its easier to give in to tempations or get caught up in drama especially growing up underpriveledged.
Most of the man dem I grew up with went into prison gangs or are dead or lost on drugs
Sometimes I felt I was heading on the wrong path myself on many occasions
I dont always talk but through music you can express certain things.
