New Year Of Life, And Holdin’ On Strong🤘🏼🤠🎂
This year has tested me me in unbelievable ways, as they always do. Some negative experiences definitely included, but lots of positive growth in the end. Hell, even as I’m typing this on the first day of 29 years old- a whole heap of crazy obstacles, hurdles, and unexpected challenges are in full force. The crazy part is that through all of it, I’m genuinely proud to say that my faith hasn’t wavered one bit and I’m still truckin along as always! 🙏🏻 I’m just so insanely grateful for all of my Family, Friends, and every learning experience that surrounds me every single day. It’s amazing how even in the craziest of times and frustrating moments, quality aspects of life like those really overshadow any sort of madness. I’m going into the new year of life more motivated, resilient, and full of faith than I ever have before- and for that, I’m beyond blessed and insanely grateful. Here’s to all of my new adventures, friendships, and chapters of life in this past year- and also to this next round too, because I can’t wait to see what the Good Lord has in store for me next!🍻
Earlier this week, Heaven gained another incredible Angel 💙
Grandpa… you were the most patient, caring, and respectful man I’ve ever known. You lived one hell of a life that I know ANYBODY would be blessed to have, including myself. I never once had to question how much you loved me, or how much you truly understood my dreams and encouraged me to chase them. You were a foundation and the rock of an entire family through thick and thin, and you left so many people in this world impacted by your life. As I hold the responsibility of being the last child able to pass on our last name from you… I promise to do so with every bit of integrity, honesty, respect, and love which you showed everybody in this world. I promise to keep working to make this last name mean something even more beautiful than you’ve already done for a lifetime. I truly hope to be even an ounce of the human being and real MAN you were to so many folks💙
Until I see you again someday, I hope you know how much I appreciate the immense blessing of having you in my life- and now, watching over me always. 🙏🏻Please tell My Dad, My Mom, Grandma Ro, and all of my other amazing guardian angels hello for me. I know it’s probably one hell of a party up there with you now, and rightfully so- man oh man, is it deserved. Rest In Peace Grandpa, and thank you for being you 💙
28 Years Old, and still standin’ strong 🤠🤘🏼

I could definitely say I wish some things went MUCH different throughout this past year of life, but Lord knows I had so many moments of growth thanks to every tough moment I was dealt. Not moments I wanted, but the moments I DEFINITELY needed. Going into this next year of life, I feel more confident than ever of so many aspects of “ME”. I was reminded the importance of mental health at its truest level. I learned how to fully say yes to the craziest of awesome opportunities, no matter how daunting or terrifying they seemed. I regained so much passion for creativity and entertainment that had start to feel a bit “stale” at times. And of course- I was blessed with so many amazing people around me, both new and old, who always make this adventure through life so damn special. I’m so excited to keep growing not just through each new year of life, but every single moment along the way- and I hope EVERYBODY remembers to do the same! To all of the amazing blessings in my life, thank you!!! Wouldn’t be here without you 🙏🏻💙🍻 LET’S KEEP ROCKIN! 🤠

To put it lightly, this last year of life challenged me more than I’ve ever been challenged before. There were times where I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t pushed to the absolute brink. Lord knows I could spend the time to type out all of the loss, hurt, betrayal, and altogether painful moments from the age of 26- but right now I’m just truly reminded of how much I’ve GAINED through these twists and turns. I’ve been so insanely blessed with an amazing support system of great friends, family, and supporters who have helped me through every bump in the road- and I could NEVER thank y’all enough (New and Old, you know who you are). I’m looking so damn forward to making 27 the BEST year of life, alongside all of the amazing people I’m blessed to have around me! 🙏🏻 Every scar has one hell of a story… and I’ll be damned if we ain’t done filling up these pages! Cheers to another year of personal growth, chasing dreams, breaking barriers, and spreading more love and positivity in this world! 🍻 HERE’S TO 27! 🤘🏼

I’m heartbroken to share the news to my online friends and family that my amazing Mama, Kathy Taylor-Nieto, unfortunately passed away on Friday, July 21st.
After being admitted to the hospital on Mothers Day with a variety of unforeseen health issues, and more than two months of fighting in the ICU and ultimately hospice care… She’s finally made it home to Heaven, and reunited with all of those she missed so dearly on this Earth- including my Dad, the love of her life.
There aren’t enough words to simultaneously share both how heartbroken I am that she’s gone, and how blessed I feel to have had her as my Mother, best friend, and number one supporter for as long as I did. I’m a firm believer that if I had any other Mom, I wouldn’t be here today. Period. To raise children after they’ve lost their father (and her, the love of her life) at their young age, to surviving a car accident shortly after that left her nearly with a broken back and almost paralyzed, to the ins and out of continuing to face adversity, struggles, and many more obstacles with nothing but LOVE at all times… is why she was, and always will be, the most amazing blessing that God has given me- and my absolute Hero forever.
As a promise to myself, and to you Mom… I promise to continue to be everything you supported and sacrificed for me to be. To leave a beautiful impact on this world every single day, and to not let anybody or anything deter me from that mission in my heart or from the kind of man you raised me up to be. I’ll grieve, mourn, and just plain miss the hell out of you endlessly… but I promise to keep pushing. (I know if I don’t, you’ll still find a way to come down here and kick my ass…)
Lord knows I’m blessed with so many guardian angels looking over me, but now I definitely know who will be leading that pack. For the blessing of being my Angel while I had you here in your lifetime, and now even afterwards, just know…
I Love You Mama. Forever. 💙
I’m SO excited to share that a very special project I had the pleasure to work on, “Torn Plaid”, will be having it’s Official LA Premiere tomorrow night at The Golden Thesis Film Festival! 🎬 This project was filmed all the way back in 2019, and after a crazy couple years of dedication and perseverance from an insanely talented team- it’s finally time for the story to make its LA debut! On a personal note, I’m also rather excited because this will be my first “official” premiere of something I was lucky enough to be involved in. This is a milestone I don’t take for granted, and I’d like to think it’s only the beginning- for all of us! I can’t wait to celebrate the work of everybody involved in bringing this story to life, and hopefully share a story that can impact the world! 🇺🇸

This year of life challenged me in so many ways I never could have expected- too many to even list. The ups and downs have damn near given me whiplash, but at the end of the day… that’s what I’m here for. To face instability, overcome obstacles, love as much as I can, and learn from every single experience along the way. I wholeheartedly know what I’m chasing down with all of my heart and soul, and that’s what drives me forward every single day. I thank every lesson for teaching me and every positive experience for reinforcing my dreams. I thank every person that has taught me something or inspired me along the way. More than anything- Thank you to all of my amazing friends, family, and supporters for cheering me on every step of the way. I truly couldn’t do it without you all. 25 wasn’t at all what I expected, but I have faith it was everything I needed it to be. I’m still the same Texas boy with a dream that’s larger than life, and I’m ready for every moment that lies ahead of me… come hell or high water! 🇺🇸
Real Recognize Real… and These Boys Are As Real As They Come! 🇺🇸

It goes without saying, but last night was a damn good Time at the legendary @thewhiskyagogo . The respect and love I have for these guys has never been in question- but getting the chance to witness their talents AND show some love in person, was pretty damn special to me. These are 100% real Independent artists who are tough as nails, kind as can be, and just plain talented as hell- WORKING TOGETHER. These are the type of artists I enjoy sharing on a platform like YouTube the most- as both a brother and a genuine fan. @adamcalhoun1@dustyonu@brodnax_music y’all keep up the amazing stuff, finish this tour off strong, and don’t ever change for nothin’ 🤘🏼🇺🇸 I’m truly in y’all’s corner and can’t wait to see what lies ahead for each one of y’all 🍻 #CountryRapTour
