*NOTE* A lot of this was written a while ago on my bb but just never posted. Most of the feelings and thoughts are still the same though the tide is quickly changing.
Just a random thought. I have dedicated so much time and effort to promoting, boosting, retweeting, pushing, and/or marketing other DMV ARTist's sh*t, I really wonder if any of them would do the same for me. The idea of a huge DMV conglomerate is hard to imagine. Thing is, if it could or would happen, we would be a force unable to be ignored or stopped. So many areas have the benefit of a strong ground level support system right now. New York, Atl, L.A., Detroit, Houston, Chicago. These ARTist all come together in their respective areas and boost each other to the masses on another level. The concept of a young dude like Kanye West working with a Chi-town legend such as Twista or Common is almost unheard of in the DMV. Some collaborations have occured such as Whitefolkz with Southeast Slim, or Wale with Uptown XO, but Nike Nando or Lyriciss should be able to have songs with Wale or Tabi Bonney and they reach the masses. Just the real ability to have everything come full circle and really show the connection and build of the DMV nation has to be built upon. There is progress being made, but there is still so much work to do. There is much more to say and much more to do but I just got hungry and lazy at the same time so that is all for now. Continue growing DMV.
