Well here we go. To the best of my knowledge music has ALWAYS been a part of me. I found my nitche in hip hop later on but leading up to that i participated in the band (and still do) so not only do i rap but i also have an understanding of music itself. I wrote short stories and alot of poetry around the age of i'd say 11 or 12. In 6th grade my teacher kept me motivated after greatly admiring a story i had written for a class project, so the words he gave to me about my writing stuck with me. Years went by, things changed, and i found myself listening to alot of music and writing poetry. I didn't really have many freinds at the time but i kept myself busy with things that would overall benefit me. A great deal of self-improvement erupted in 8th grade when i finally found my passion for music. Chase (2-face) and I hooked up and started rapping. Most probably took it as a joke, I remeber thinking to myself "How in the world could these people immediately shoot us down and laugh in our faces, when in reality we know exactly what we want, we're gonna keep on track with this music and when all is said and done...... who the fuck is gonna be gettin the last laugh?" So my advice to anybody is: Passion is not somethin you can find and give up, passion is a part of you. No matter how frusturating times may seem, or whatever life throws at you, the passion you have is your artillery, it is the only goddamn thing that will release you from the tension .. So thank you to whoever is currently reading this and thank you to everybody who gave me the inspiration to never stay in one place.. and to always move one step closer......much love and have a blessed day!!! The one and only........-SHOKTECK-
