letters to your future self you didnāt know you needed >
okay [rough cut], 2016
produced & performed by @nu.migrations
words:
fewer friends are looking live around me
I donāt blame you if you doubt me
I failed more than every time I won
last place has become my favourite song
try my best at really looking lively
swimming in the verses I be really trying to find me
never had a single thing that I did -
for myself, now is looking like the time to try it
then I really de win kiddie time
wishing I never grew up, everything be on decline
feeling like I be screwup, thoughts eating my mind
spend my days making beats, poetry & some rhymes
never pay attention to the self-doubt
half the time the reason I be stressed out
really trying to find a better way
hope you listen to me when I say:
[itās okay!]

Co-produced track 7, Light My Fire ft. @jesseboykins3rd & @braxton_cook , off of @moruf88 ās latest offering MOOLODIC: Hotep Luxury, the album.
Good things take time, they say, and Iām incredibly grateful to see the magic we made heard & experienced by the world.
Massive shouts to @joshuakissi for the link, @moruf88 for having a great pair of ears and words that cut through to the soul, and @jesseboykins3rd for elevating some of the initial ideas on this track.
Go run dat š¤²š¾
āDonāt delete the voice notesā, they said. Begrudgingly, I listened, and yet itās proven to be such great advice.
Hereās a look back at the exact moment I nailed the melody / vocals for @andymadjitey & @kojoaffedzie ās HOLY MERCURY short, beckoning at @obedworld in excitement.
Singing remains an incredibly raw and vulnerable thing for me, but hereās to sharing more š
Thereās music Iāve made that has a cinematic quality at times, accompanied by a scene or visual in my mindās eye. As a result, I enjoy the challenge that comes with composing music to amplify underlying emotions in visual projects Iām excited to work on.
I had the pleasure of scoring @amartei_armar ās Vagabonds (2019), writing and arranging the score in each video insert. Itās a story of a Ghanaian orphan, whose life is turned upside down when he finds out his younger brother has been selected for adoption by an American family. Itās a moving 15-minute watch that eventually became Ghanaās first film on Emirates In-Flight Entertainment.
Insert 1: Owusu is woken up in the middle of the night by his younger brother because he needs help going to pee. Sounds easy, no? The catch here is that they need to steal the key from the sleeping security guard in order to go outside.
Insert 2: Owusu is about to āstealā his own brother out of the orphanage to keep him from being adopted by an American family.
Insert 3: Owusu asks his younger brother if he trusts him to take care of him, after theyāve successfully stolen out of the orphanage.
Full film credits up on IMDB, and see link in bio to stream the film online.
only a matter of time ā [insert long caption about finding yourself again - whatever that means, and rediscovering first loves.]
@nu.migrations is a project Iām embarking on to exhume a part of me Iāve long buried in layers of many unhelpful things. consider it a ālesson in unfettered expressionā, with āonly a matter of timeā, a two-song pack of unreleased music out now on SoundCloud.
see link in bio for more, and come hear @nu.migrations ā first set, during soft landing tomorrow at @palmmoments šš¾āāļø
In a series of very preventable mishaps, I lost everything Iāve been working on for *years*. I could tell myself all I need to have the right shift in perspective, but Iām absolutely gutted, if I can be honest. Thereās a lesson here about not being too precious about ideas I have, shipping work as is, and not being a perfectionist, but itās the loss of contributions and input from people who cared about me, enough to will me into working on an album that I was too scared to work on, thatās the killer.
I donāt know if I have it in me to do it all over, but Iām putting this out here as a gentle reminder to myself to keep trying and to share what I can, more.
The audio insert is and will remain one of my absolute favourites off the album that now will never be š¤
