I changed my angle and replace my current state,
I believe in my talents, my passions, so I keep the faith,
For I use to be driven into the deep and left a stray,
But I did a turnaround 180, into the sunlight, my creative rays.

I am so excited to say I had a blast at my performance at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, New York City for Open Mic Monday on February 27, 2012. I had a game plan and went in and execute with a lot of fun. I had the green shades on tonight getting live (reason I wore them, because their spotlight be super bright, to blind someone on stage), I also perform the 1st single off my upcoming Hip-Hop Ep album “The Burna Effect” in which I decided to go with a photo I already had as the album cover.
I performed a little warm up freestyle called, “Get Up” in which is just a joint I use or going to tend pick up once in a while to fill my 5 minute time slot at Open Mics I will be attending. I almost forget, the song/freestyle will be on the album (silly me), and I also performed “Girls” which is the first single off the album in which this performance is the first time I performed an original song with a beat created and produced by myself, so I was extra proud of that fact.
Either way the performance went like clock work, even though minimal and simple, I felt I am warming up to stage performances. I can’t wait to get better. I did happen to have a prop malfunction which was quite funny to me, but it didn’t hinder what I was doing, so the show went on.
I insert a few comedic lines and storytelling in between songs, which worked pretty well. I think I am going to continue to test those out, as well as my witty stage introduction in which I try to get some laughs in quick by the audience, because overall I want everyone to have a good time.
Thanks, for taking the time to read my experience and I hope you come and see my perform one day soon. I should be doing many more shows at the Nuyorican and other places throughout the year. But you can always see and listen to my works via Soundcloud& ReverbNation and Vimeo& Youtube if you can’t make it to a show or in a different city or country.

If things aint on DECK, people aint seen it YET,
They are too far gone (Drake), they need to open up their eyes (WAKE),
They not eating right (NO FOOD upon THEIR DINNER PLATE),
They can’t even keep up (they SLOW, LATE).
Stumbling dumpling, just watch how he shakes,
Laziness is killing him, there is no more energy,
He tries to run, but then he falls, he can’t cut a break,
No free delivery service for him, time has flew on pass, that boy is always late.
If you are ever in need, I am one call away,
If you are in need of warmth, I am one call away,
No more lonely days, I am one call away,
So pick up the phone, call me today.
Take a dip, lick the spoon, the craving is building, my favorite mood,
So many flavors, but none the same, all I enjoy tasting, I am so in a craze,
Rum & Raisin, Butter Pecan & Cherry, can’t forget Chocolate or that Wild Berry,
Even Vanilla with a dash of French, what’s your favorite flavor that makes you melt?
