Song collaboration for my cousin Derrick (Skeet)

A big part of my day yesterday was spent writing the lyrics for a collaboration song dedicated to my cousin Derrick. My cousin Antonio, Derrick's nephew, contacted me about getting together and recording it and I was completely on-board. Right away I began to think of what I wanted to say based on the last conversation we had 3 days before his death. The emotions were flowing, the words were rolling, and it all came together. After I wrote the lyrics, I recorded it in my studio and meshed it with the music. Antonio chose some amazing music that touched my heart so much I knew it was the perfect choice. I sent my cousin a sample of what I'd recorded and he was super excited! Him and his fiancee Chelsea gave me extra motivation to keep going and soon we will have created a song together from separate locations: Las Vegas and Illinois. So DOPE! 

I am thoroughly enjoying the fact that I am surpassing so many limits I had placed upon myself. I never saw myself recording a song before and now in 2017 here I am and with my own cousin! There is so much talent within my family and if many of them recognized their worth they would showcase theirs as well. Nonetheless, I am very excited for things to come and getting this together for my cousin Derrick. We are leaving a legacy for him, he deserves this. RIP.
