HANDS DOWN!!!! Today was a great day!?!?! B.o.B’s First Album officially Dropped and thankful to say I was a part of that history!?!?!?! If you don’t know who B.o.B is……well….you should probably slap yourself….lol…no really (-_-). Anyways this morning I woke up and literally ran to the nearest music store in Brooklyn, dragging my mother along with me to pick up only one of the hottest albums to drop this year B.o.B Presents The Adventures of Bobby Ray. Although I was not on stage giving an acceptance speech for winning an academy award I feel like the feeling of having your first album cover print is very mutual to that…. Im glad I was able to share this moment with my mom….she is my biggest fan & supporter….(and she brought the cd for me lol) THANKS MOM!!!
(me & mom)
Next on the agenda I spoke with a good friend of mine that I met while attending college (Robin) who just happens to be the video coordinator at ATLANTIC RECORDS…(“oh snap” I know lol….) anywho I had let her know that I was in town, and she invited me up to the label…..So I took the train up to Manhattan with my younger brother and sister….(lol, I took the wrong train at first)
(Brother & Sister kickin it)
…anyways we got up there and I met a lot of GREAT important people…I even Met with my hommie Latrice who is the Marketing Director for B.o.B, Flo-Rida & Lupe Fiasco (I am excited to say I have worked with 2 of the 3) Anyways while up there they were kind enough to give me all kinds of Album Merchandise (CHA CHING!!!!!) THANKS LATRICE!!!!!
(merch)
It was a pretty eventful day…Its been a long hard road with thousands of “no’s” and closed doors in my face……I can’t say how exciting it is to see name in the credits of something I played a huge part in….
