Im Going To Do It, Mike Game Is Getting Deeeeeeep

So this weekend, I did some recording for "Before I Embarass Myself" (aka the greatest thing Ive ever done). And my original intentions was to finish what I started on "Reckless Abandon" and take it further to the left. "Reckless Abandon" wasnt the typical mixtape from these parts, it was just different. I just did what I felt on every song. I didnt really make any buzz singles or street bangers if you will. I just tried my best to deliver just nice raps. Songs on the mixtape like "Girl", "Rap Alone", "Big Dreams" and "Say Hello" were glimpses into my life outside of being a rapper. Something I feel no one really gets into. And if they do its them macking hoes or hustling, which I know isnt these other guys day to day life. As of now Im split, Ive got 8 songs in one direction and 6 in another. The first 8 were more lighthearted affairs, where I through caution to the wind and had fun with rapping. The other 6 though were depressing to say the very least. Its more in the vain of Atmosphere than anything else Ive done. "Foolish Games" and "Perfect Present-tense" are soaked with raw emotion from my dealings with relationships. I leaked "Birds Must Fly" a month or so ago and it dealt with my emotional state after my granda died and me n my girl broke up all in the same week. And you know what, raw emotion is what this Wichita scene Im in is missing. No one really examines their innerselves and reflect it on record. Why? Because I guess its not cool. Its not manly to do such. But Im doing it. Mike Game does "emo-rap" if you will. In March, Before I Embarass Myself drops, and the month before I will release all this other stuff. Get to know me, because you and I live the same life.

man raw emotion is good..especially if it can change the emotions of the listener.And i can relate on grandparents passing,i'm actually about to go to my Grandpa's funeral which is one of the hardest things i had to deal with in my adult life.He was my father figure and one of the only people i could go to for help.Anyways music is a good form of therapy so just keep recording music that fits you and helps you get stuff off your chest
