Even When I am By Myself

Be By Myself...

I am Duck Down Staff

I am Boot Camp clique

I am O.G.C…

I’m Little Brother

(even by when I’m by myself).. I am every artist, every head that loves hip hop music…. (Even when I am by myself)
The Indie hip hop community is about as interesting to most people as Yoda was to Luke before he knew what time of day it was! Call this an entry by Asoka Tona (googling will be allowed on this)

I love the break dancing, the pretty ladies that get excited when they hear “Electric Relaxation”... I LOVE it! (Even when I am by myself)
Dj’s that show off a rare Nina Simone record, put it on display in front of his turn table, just to let us know that he has it, and may or may not play it. I love that kinda bragging (those kinda records are hard to find, so dude looked hard for it -> in the hip hop community we call it digging in the crates <-) point is I LOVE IT!!

(even when I am by myself)

Dj’s that will play a Fela song then blend into the hip-hop song that sampled Fela that we all know and love, sample, then blend it into the J Dilla beat that we all know and love, just to let us know HOW it was done… I LOVE IT!!

(Even when by myself)

I love all kinds of music... I go out to all kinds of places… but coming from where I come from, getting the opportunity to actually LIVE hiphop is a dream... I am living it for everyone that is like me (grew up writing down lyrics.. pressing pause, rewind, Make sure what I wrote was correct and say a small prayer on each rewind hoping the tape didn’t snap cus my tape deck had chewed up the tape pretty bad earlier on in the morning)....
But you know what… the community is small (even in NY!)… I’d be selling everyone I grew up with short, by not going/doing this hiphop SHYT!!!!

(even when I’m by myself)

1… 2 I am humble when I meet the community… Call me beast from the East!
So I’m gonna do it, live it.. (Even when I’m By Myself)

I never thought I’d be here… so I’m gonna do it (even when I’m by myself)

I got YOU! If you are like me...
