about

You know those TV shows called "I Shouldn't Be Alive" where people tell their stories of surviving some horrible accident or attack?Well this album is about a lot of feelings i had during a really bad period last year where i was filled with despair and hopelessness, and feelings of suicide plagued me on a regular basis. So i decided to get a lot of dark beats i had made up to that point and try to capture the anger and feelings of being lost.I didn't know what i was doing, but i wanted something to occupy my time to take my mind off my problems. I ended up giving it the title because i wanted to bring across the point that i survived that period, and draw attention to the seriousness of a subject that's kind of taboo in our culture. The message is positive and the album is fun, kind of like my own version of Ready To Die, concept-wise, that is.I had to work myself out of that misery, and no matter how terrible you feel about something,the better choice is to always work through it. My subject matter isn't always this dark or gloomy,but i felt like it was important to share.
