My Sterling Passion

My Sterling Passion

        It all began in 2008; I was in the 7th grade, my buddy Brett in the 8th. He came up to me one day and asked me if I liked rap music and if I wanted to hear a song he wrote. And ever since then, it was history. 

       I fell in love with writing music in the 7th grade but it wasn't until the summer of my 9th grade going to 10th grade year that I took it seriously. My buddy Chin (who's in a rap group with me) let me borrow his mic because he found a studio he could go to. Eventually, though, I got my own mic. Anyway, my first  song was horrible. I did NOT expect to receive as much hate for the song that I actually got. It was a terrible moment in my career but, in reality, it was probably the best thing that could have happened to me. Because everyone doubted my craft and mocked my efforts it really made me deepen my vocabulary as well as strengthen my flow. 

     Don't get me wrong; I have plenty of other things I would love to do. For instance, I want to be the founder of the world's first 100% non-profit, NO-(not low)-cost industry. I'm not entirely sure what services I would be offering but most definitely the most important things to benefit human health (clothes, food, shelter, tooth brushes, appliances, etc). Another passion I have is for technology. I LOVE THE FUTURE. Steve Jobs is my God. Okay, sorry about that. As I was saying; I have three brilliant and revolutionary ideas that would really change the way some people interact with one another and their devices. All I have to say about that is; don't forget my name! 

    Although I have all these dreams and aspirations to help society evolve as a race, I also just really love making music. There's no greater feeling than writing a song and just continuously rapping the verses over and over and over again until you finally record it. Good thing for me, my mic is right in my room. Being famous and getting paid for making that music would just be out of this world. I would be able to connect to millions of people across the world and spread my message to all of them by simply doing the one thing I love. So yeah - if I could choose one thing to do for the rest of my life it would definitely have to be; creating music.

La Musica de Jeffrey iLL

Music is love

Love is the music

So when I think I'm in love

I'm just listening to music

Repetitive rhyme schemes, excessive rewinding 

Trying to get the message 

That the lesson's describing

Revising

I honor every rhythm, 

The heavy hitting,

The Remy sippin'

Hip-hop is the one I should marry 

I'll do it any instant 

To be recognized for my second eyes 

Is something that I just can't be missing

No - I can't resist it

Music has my heart on lock down;

I cherish every visit

I still love H.E.R

Guess that's just common 

He told me 'Go' and 'Be' free

Who did?

I said, "just Common."
