Would like to have and see such and such…but I’m still good!
I have entered a turning point in my life. One which old and forgotten ways are picked back up for the better. In 2008 and 2009 I was a self-promoting, marketing machine! I was constantly in the studio churning out mixtape after mixtape, and designing myspace layouts, website updates, twitter updates, facebook updates, and the list goes on and on. Results were there! When I released Hood Gospel Volume 2, I only had 75 members on thaddyvip’s. Now a year and a half later, we’re at nearly 1300 members! I released Motivation Music, and the sales were just as I expected.
I saw fruit, so I kept going strong! I asked God for wisdom, and the answers were there! Then all of a sudden BAM winter season. Ohh boyy. Everything seemed soooo slow!! I stopped making so much music, and my marketing efforts slowed down, along with everything else. I entered a season of consecration, prayer and fasting while God began to reveal minor adjustments in my life that would yield major results. One of those adjustments was for me to focus less on marketing myself as an artist, and to spend more time ministering and winning souls for the kingdom.
I’ve seen other artist use this same shift in focus, because in my opinion, they just weren’t that good. I hope that doesn’t sound too prideful, but the real is, that everyone trying to be a rapper or singer for God isn’t called to do so. There is nothing more mediocure than a person attempting to operate in a lane that they weren’t created for. This isn’t the case for me. Music has been apart of me for long as I can remember. My participation in this change is only because God instructed it.
I won’t continue to chase after opportunities that may possibly further my music career. Instead, I’ll pursue souls for the kingdom with the gifts God has given me, and make opportunities chase me. If they don’t come a knocking, its OK. As long as God’s got me….I’m OK!
Sincerly,

I felt that. Thanks for posting. Sometimes I feel so “unseen” and have to remind myself that it aint about nobody seeing me… but Him. I’m just here to help.
True that Felicia!
