Damn... So Boogie told me today -- about mid-afternoon -- that the place where our CD's were replicated and printed ran out of sleeves. So he had them ship 'em anywayyy... Yup, all 50,000 and then he went out and bought the sleeves separately. Long story shorttt... I've been putting these things together for the past oohhhhh... 6 hours.
It was kind of a good break to take my mind off things and watch history get made as the mixtape was released.
This was the first mixtape ever hosted by DJ Khaled & DJ Drama -- as well as the first Heavy Hitters, We the Best, and Aphilliates production. Shouts to Boogs on making my dream a reality.
I appreciate all the support I've been getting -- texts, calls, messages, the whole nine. From friends, family, and strangersssss... it's all really appreciated. My team and I really put our heart and soul into this thing - more than you can ever hear within an hour's worth of audio - so to see this kind of response has definitely got me excited.
I don't know how I should feel now... at 4:50 in the morning. I know my mom is going to wake up and see all the CD's on the counter, but I don't know if I got it in me to clean 'em all up right now. I'm known as the one man wrecking crew in my house... yeah, my bad momz. I'm sorry. I love you.
So what's next?
Well, first off, as if we were going to relax for a minute and get this thing out there, my mind shifts into another gear as a week from today (June 27th), Coodie and Chike, the video producers that brought you Jesus Walks, Through the Wire, Culo, and Ghetto Rock will be filming my first music video for my single from the mixtape: Dixie Cups -- right here in the Chi.
It's going to be crazy... I can't even explain. My mind is in a million directions right now, but once again, thanks for the support -- time to spread tha werd.
