Emcee to Author
For over a decade, I poured myself into writing rhymes. I spent hours in the studio shaping words, moving them around, cutting lines, rewriting verses, and fine-tuning them to land on beat. It wasn’t just about filling space on a track—it was about finding cadence, impact, and delivery that carried emotion.
It was cathartic, but more than that, I was chasing connection. I wanted to inspire the way others had inspired me. That meant being ruthless with my writing. If a word didn’t work, I cut it. If a line didn’t flow, I rewrote it. The studio became my training ground for patience, rhythm, and emotional honesty.
What I didn’t realize then was that all those years were preparing me for something else: authorship. When I finally sat down to write a book, it felt natural. Almost easy. Not because the work wasn’t hard, but because I had already lived the grind of a writer. I had already learned how to align words, how to make them flow, and how to make them hit.
The truth is, I was already an experienced writer. My emcee years gave me the discipline to edit, the ear for cadence, and the heart to connect. The page simply became my new stage.
