My obsessions go from one to the other at a rapid pace, it seems like yesterday I was head-over-heels obsessed with VR, then it jumped quickly into the MCU, while both of these obsessions have diminished slightly they are still prominent. The newest obsessive cycle to spin back around into my life is music, hip hop in particular.
The passion for getting back and writing lyrics and making beats was swelling up for a couple weeks, and last week I decided I wanted to jump back in, and so I jumped back into what helped propell me a few years back, the reddit makinghiphop subreddit weekly cypher competitions.
In my opinion this is the perfect way to ease my way back into music again and shake the rust off. I entered 2 competitions so far, I got no votes in my first entry (which was a Thanos' perspective tale of redemption (keeping the MCU obsession alive!)) and my second entry, which I thought was pretty good (the theme was appearance vs. reality) and I didn't even make the damn voting thread. This kind of irked me, but it gives me some drive to improve my work and keep going from here.
The newest cypher theme will be posted either today or early tomorrow and better believe I'll be jumping in and bringing as much fire as I can.
Other than the cyphers, I've been listening to some classic hip hop and some newer albums and artists that I missed out on my hip hop absence. I also have some ideas for new songs and albums. Been toying with the idea of making an album that... umm... well, i'll hold off on divuldging that info just yet... but I got ideas. Will I have the drive, energy and time to get anything done? Maybe.
