Day #28 and #29

I'm sitting here chillin with my new friend Jr. Ford. We are talkin about life and him moving from the Bronx New York up to Indiana and me moving back to Indy from Chicago. Funny how life is. When you think you are alone, its others who can relate. Anyway, I'm probably about to go back home and start on some new beats. It has been a good day so far. I hope you all checked out those two new beats that I posted up on line last night. They are FIRE and I worked really hard on them. They are a work in progress. So stay tuned because I'm about to put out some more music. And my mixtape is due really soon. I think you all will be surprised!!!!!!!

Day #23

Ahhhh! What do they say? "Another day, another dollar." Lol that's how I feel I suppose. But this is indeed a new GOOD day! Its 6:27pm. Had work today but you know that didn't stop my creative process one bit! I'm actually thankful for my job! I mean how else would I pay my outstanding bills and my studio time? Anyway, I'm in the middle of making yet another beat. Depending on how it turns out, this might just too go on my next project! But remember yesterday when I said I might have to push back th release a few days? I was dead serious! I feel like as I am pressing this month to make more music and discipline myself in this thing, all sorts of ideas and beats have been coming to my mind! I need more time to write more to keep up with all of these beats!**

Day #21

Here I am up late refining my plan. Thinking and working. Its not really that late but I started this beat this morning around 2am, went to sleep, went through the day and around 6pm I got to it and completed it. Some of these tracks I just wanted to put up randomly over these last 30 days but I like some of my creations so much that I might have to put them on this project! I know you are wondering where the music is I am working so hard on everyday. Lol! No excuses, I am adding bits and pieces to my work. Well, I am about to get back to work!

Day #19/#20 Remix

What's good world? Let me tell you my current location....I'm at work! Haha, I don't stay looking good doing nothing! Kidding. Well, I had such a long day yesterday that I wasn't able to do my Day #19 blog. I also didn't even get a chance to make any music for that matter. So today is a double dose of fun. LoL! I made a beat this morning before I came to work. So currently that's what's playing as my background music as I write this. Well its other music playing in the store but my phone is pretty sweet so I'm listening to it from there. As the time ticks away for my release of The Journey I can really feel the pressure of me no even having half of the songs selected to put on there! There's just so much stuff I haven't recorded in the studio yet!! Ahhhh! That's how I feel right now. This is my lifes work and I'm def behind. So in other words, its CRUNCH TIME for me!!! Just 12 more days..12 more days! If I didn't already mention...This one is completely different from my first project athough my first project did influence this one in a tremendous way!

So yes...Get ready!!!****

Day #18

Here I am again. Working on another beat in the late night. Lol. My beats that I have been making don't come out sounding the greatest but I am learning a lot about making beats and how to properly put them together. I am def enjoying this month and the challange I've put myself too. This is truly a mind blowing experience and after this 30 days and 30 nights quest is up I will still continue to profect my craft. I'm working on learning to mix my own vocals during this mini self imposed process. Youtube has been a huge help with my learning! But yeah so when Day #19 comes I will finally post up some music....Which it basically in a few hours. Anyway, I'm off to working on this beat.holla and get ready world. ;)

Day #17

Its about 10pm. I'm sitting in front of my computer with fruity loops open. Today has been one of those challenging ones. But I'm pullin a beat out of it before it's gone. So on that note, stay up and grind hard for what you want.****

Day #16

Its 9am in the morning. I've been up longer. I'm just taking a look around on a few music websites checking out the latest news. I gotta commend any artisit who's made the news on stuff like how much they are going to spend on something. I'd rather be in the news for that if not something heroic like. Lol. But yeah, I'm making music that is kind of getting everything out of me. This whole two weeks has been a cleansing process for me. I'm folowing my heart and it feels releiving. I have sooo much work to do! But that's ok. I did sign up for this. I def need to get my frestyle game right tho. Lol. If you all didn't know, I'm not the best freestyler. Haha. I have tried on many occassions. I'm getting better tho. But anyway....Think I'll take a stab at making a new beat today.****

Day #15

I feel like i've been putting in over time. But you know what? I feel I need to push myself more. There is so much hard work that needs to be done. I often have to realize that I can't use music as a get away. That's how I feel I've been sort of acting these last past few days. Like I got to remember I have a normal life like paying these college bills and other living bills. But at the same time ...This is my life. Feel me? A big shout out to my friends and family who support me in everything I do. It feels good to know that. Its 8:58am. This is day 15, 13 and 14 I spent either at work or here in my abode, trying to cook something up. Anyway, I'm out. ;)

Day #10

Its day ten..and oh my goodness do I feel the pressure.. yesterday #9 was a real struggle! But yet and still I did attempt to make a beat. Today I wrote too and produced a new track which I am pretty excited about. Its just me expressing my feelings about a few situations I have found myself in. But I cant give too much away because I will be putting this one on my mixtape. I think I want at least 14 tracks on there if not more. All I can say is that no matter who ignores me, disses me, or just flat out is not fucking with my music, I dont care. I am building up my tolerance and it feels very good to be able to make music everyday the real way I want too. I just got a feeling..a very good one about where I am headed. And I cant stop and wont stop now or ever. Well its about 10pm here. I am about to finish up this song now. I am super geeked that I can actually make a full song in a few hours now, where it use to take me days or sometimes weeks. I am improving and thats what I am most happy about. I am better then I was yesterday. Ill see you all tomorrow. ;)

Day #8

Its 8:30pm on a Monday night. Day 8 of my 30 days and 30 nights journey. I've been puttinh some work in on everyday although my internet is still down. Don't you guys think for one second that I haven't been on my p's and q's. It has been a struggle to work on making a beat and a song everyday bu I need to do this in order to challange myself as a developing artist. I am really excited to let you all hear what I've got so far. Bare with me fokes. TendSetterTina is on a real selfmade mission here. I have been meeting other great artists around the city and let me tell you it is exciting to be able to see what they do and how they do it. All I can really be is thankful because its teaching me a key lesson "work harder". Right now I have been really in my juke beat making mode. But as I should, I need to get back to work. But you all know that I will continue to write a blog each day about what I am doing and how I am doing in my process. Ill see you al tomorrow. Thabks for your support. And I know as I write this and no one is even excitedto view this, millions will come accross this blog when I am at the top. I just want to say it is the little things that you do. A toast to my humble beginnings!****

Day #7

What's good everyone? First I know you want to know where in the hell have I been and where is all of that music between day 1 and day 7 at??? Am I right? Lol I have all of it. My internet has been down for the last few days. You know how it is sometimes. So hopefully very soon these people will fix it and I will be able to share it with you. Got a few surprises that might shock some people but it is what it is and that's my art! I appologize in advance. Haha I have been pushing more towards juke music over the last past few days. I love the sound of it and I am allowing myself to be as experimental and creative as possible. You will hear a lot of my beats in this as well. Day #7

30 Days and 30 Nights: day #1

Its about 2 in the afternnon right now. I just finsished up my first rap in my 30 day journey. I feel good that I was able to get it done and mix it down. I feel a little ready, but a little nervous about it, almost overwhelmed. I'm excited to actually be doing something like this. It feels good to say I am doing it. It's like a fight against myself. lol. I def got my inspiration from ths one thinking about a lot of different things and the history I have been researching. This kinda has a Nas kind of feeling behind it....Here's the song. Enjoy.***
