The process of making "The Rescued" was both fun and challenging. Give it a listen, link in the bio! It was fun because I love producing music, challenging because work life balance. Making music is passion I have rediscovered but it has to be done on the side. No, it's not making money. The streams can produce some revenue; however, it's so low no one could live off of it. Maybe one day, though we would need to be streaming in the millions. Luckily, that's not what it's about. Right now it's about music and expression. I love having a place to vent emotion and be creative. I can share my story too with others. In my latest project I get down on the mic but also share some of my story. I hope you'll check it out!

"Disappointed and burnt like acid just like Dad did"- Battles Gbmadhatter (link in Bio)

I will never forget the night my dad was on acid getting three demons tattooed on his arm. For some reason, this left an impact on me as I was growing up. I used to spend a significant amount of time staring at my dad's tattoos wondering what they meant. My dad ended up dying early in his 50s, leaving us all too soon. He died from the damage he inflicted on his body from years of hardcore substance use.

My father had many struggles in life, including substance addiction, a search for significance, and mental health. I honor and respect my dad for the efforts that he made to make a difference in my life despite his battles and weaknesses. There was a lot of blind spots, things he didn't see or even understand.

The song battles on my first album I released 6/8/2021 is the song articulating some of the struggles I hadn't faced as a young person and even today. Check it out on all platforms (link in bio).

Just a heads up I'm releasing a new project January 28th 2022!

In the beginning God created human beings to live and dwell with him forever and universe that was cultivated for their flourishing.  They enjoyed endless life and fellowship with God.  Human beings also were created to enjoy each other in peace, harmony, and endless love (just like God).  They were created to work, as well.  Work was not a curse.  Work was given to develop the universe and all of its amazing potential.  Nonetheless, something went desperately wrong and distorted humanity (sin).  An adversary crept into story and tricked human beings into disbelieving God to choose their own view of the world (sin). God would set out on a long path to correct this distortion (recovery).  He raised up a people known as the Hebrews.  They were a family that became enslaved.  God delivered them to be a distinct people group in the midst of the other Nations.  They would demonstrate a different kind of life and point the Nations back to God.  Through these people God promised he would bring about a Redeemer.  The Redeemer would die for the sins of the people and raise from the dead.  He would enter a new kind of life, on behalf of the people, and lead them back to eternal life which was lost in the beginning.  In essence God was starting humanity back over again.  This Redeemer eventually came.  His name is Jesus.  He said repent and change the way your think! He died for the sins of the Hebrews and those of the entire world.  He lived a sinless and perfect life–something human beings could never do on their own. For, we have all sinned and failed God by nature and choice.  Jesus died at perfect death for people, taking their sins upon “his shoulders.”  He died on a cross (judgement).  After 3 days of being laid in a grave he rose again from the dead.  He showed himself even to as much is 500 people, that he was alive and victorious over death and the adversary (Satan).  The Bible teaches that he was the first fruits of the Resurrection.  And he was leading people into a different kind of life.  The life that God always intended for people to live.

New Music coming soon!

01/01/2022

First let me say I am thankful for the new year and what I hope it will bring. I usually start the year with study, reflection, and prayer to set my hope and vision for the new year to come. This year is no exception. My journal was cracked open and now is filling with dreams and prayers for 2022.

I'm excited to bring you new music to listen to and enjoy. My new project will be released 1/28/22 on all platforms. It's called "The Rescued." The big idea of this project is I have been brought out of a lot difficult situations and circumstances. Indeed, I have been restored. Some of the songs are just fun Hip Hop tracks; but, even in that, it's a reflection of I am doing a lot better than I was. That is "rescued" to me.

Many of you may be experiencing insurmountable odds. I care and can deeply relate. Please hold on even if this year is already bringing you pain. Pain is not always bad. It can be a great catalyst for change. It can lead you to your recovery and rescue.

Consider this:

"Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us."

Romans 5:3‭-‬5 NIV

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The courage to change the things I can, And the wisdom to know the difference.
