ThatÆs the only explanation IÆve got for ██ returning to being a recording artist after my well- ██ documented and firm retirement from the music business in ██ 2009. I didnÆt think there was a snowballÆs chance under ██ Paula Deen's ass that IÆd ever make another rap record ██ again, but every Jay-Z needs a broke cousin counterpart like ██ J-Zone to return to a (much) more modest rap arena after ██ sworn retirement. ██ ██ Like my turbulent ups and downs in the music biz inspired my ██ book (Root For the Villain), the rollercoaster ride of ██ life-altering decisions and expectations that have come with ██ post-rap life (and oneÆs 30s in general) have inspired my ██ first J-Zone solo album in nine years, Peter Pan Syndrome. ██ Of course itÆs somewhat of a concept album; would it be a ██ J-Zone project if I didnÆt defy every possible trend and ██ staunchly stay in my lane, record sales be damned? ██ ██ The term Peter Pan Syndrome is used to refer to men who ██ refuse to grow up. It generally has a negative connotation, ██ but as I attempted to ôgrow upö after the rap thing fizzled ██ out, I realized something û doing that has cramped my style. ██ The clock is ticking, the reset button is broken, people ██ around me expect certain things, everybody has one eye on ██ the person next to them and the other on the events of their ██ Facebook wallsànobody wants to be the odd man (or woman) ██ out. Ironically, ôgrowing upö in adult terms is probably the ██ most intense form of peer pressure IÆve ever experienced. ██ Even the pressure to drink my first 40 at age 14 wasnÆt this ██ bad. Kids, stable careers and marriages û I'm man enough to ██ admit those ideas somehow still scare me at 36. ██ ██ As a rap artist whoÆs made it big enough to survive on ██ modest earnings, but not big enough to really stack money ██ and become a household name, IÆve landed in an odd position. ██ I never formally entered the workforce until my mid-30s and ██ my lack of ôreal worldö experience has made a career search ██ a grim, albeit hilarious ride now that IÆm trying to find my ██ place there. Bringing home $50 a day after taxes and ██ expenses with no room to advance (and eventually working a ██ total of 80 hours per week to make it $150!) was hardly ██ ideal living in New York, but that was my reality for a good ██ while and if I couldnÆt produce something entertaining out ██ of that quicksand jog, I wouldnÆt be worth shit an artist. ██ It was also pretty funny to literally be laughed out of an ██ employment agency earlier this year for my ôunverifiableö ██ work history in the rap game. Then all this talk about ██ lacking ôexperienceö and my peers saying I canÆt be walking ██ around with a retro haircut if IÆm serious about finding a ██ nice, secure, dead end job. The nerve! The domino effect ██ comes into play when attempting to date, discuss life with ██ family or wonder what the fuck will be written on the ██ tombstone. (IÆve opted to not date or tell my family and ██ friends jack shit about where my life is headed and be ██ cremated when my timeÆs up.) IÆm a Pisces and we ignore ██ reality like a Kardashian would ignore a laid off civil ██ service worker trying to kick game. ██ ██ So when people ask me what I ôdoö now, IÆve finally accepted ██ the skepticism that pervades the air when I reply, ô[Gulp] ██ IÆm an artist and a writer, but not one of the rich ones. ██ Yet.ö I learned this when instead of taking out a $20,000 ██ loan to get a MasterÆs degree in something I could hopefully ██ land a stable job with, I spent $3,000 on vintage drums and ██ gear, took some drum lessons, studied the recording ██ techniques of Stax and Motown and sat in my basement for ██ hours learning rudiments and playing to James Brown records. ██ I probably wouldÆve been better served working on my Linked ██ In profile (IÆm currently killing the game with a whopping 6 ██ connections), but I ignored reality, curbed my spending to ██ the point of not going out to socialize for months, ██ practiced hard for a year and eventually became half-decent ██ enough to do something IÆve always secretly wanted to do: ██ complete an album on which I played a majority of the drum ██ breaks myself. Only an artist is delusional enough to do ██ that shit in his or her 30s. IÆll never be good enough to ██ hold Bernard PurdieÆs tuning key (and as adults, weÆre ██ trained to feel guilty for putting in time to learn shit ██ like that unless it yields immediate monetary results), but ██ I was able to incorporate something new into my signature ██ production sound to give it a slight twist from before. ██ Every blog post I was preparing to publish on my platform at ██ Ego Trip was re-written in rap form and select moments from ██ my book got the same treatment. I called up some old friends ██ (rappers Al-Shid, Celph Titled and Breeze Brewin of The ██ Juggaknots and cameo-makers Prince Paul, R.A. the Rugged Man ██ and Oxygen), some new ones (rapper Has-Lo and multi- ██ instrumentalist Hot Sugar) and my alter egos (unemployed ██ shit-talkers Chief Chinchilla and Swagmaster Bacon) to help ██ me create what is without a doubt the most honest record of ██ my career, yet still by far the most vulgar, lowbrow and ██ juvenile, considering my age. Sounds like a contradiction, ██ but I am a walking contradiction. I guess being a 36-year- ██ old with a severe case of Peter Pan Syndrome and a full ██ understanding that I have it will do that. At least I donÆt ██ play video games. Wish me luck, because if this doesnÆt ██ work, IÆm gonna start doing slip-and-falls in different ██ Whole Foods locations across America for money. Anything to ██ never get on monster.com again. ██ ██ ██ ▓██ ▓██ ▒██ ░██ ░██ · ▒ ██ ▓ ██▓▄▄ ░ ▄ ▄▄ ▄███▓▒░ ░ ░ ░ ░ ░▒▓█▓ ▓ █▀ ░▒ █ ▓ We Have NO Public IRC ░ █ ▒ channel and offer no ░ ██▒ ░ files.
