Wzup readers and riders! 24 days in and we rollin, rollin, rollin! Its an awesome day today. I woke feeling wonderful! I have added the shirts in my hourly post and hired someone to assist with the promotion. I will have them come in around Christmas to assist with the next video and shirt campaign. I need to start design planning for the next one and I think I will bring back the white one that I have now because I like that one, lol!
The interview on DaGr8FM is locked in and promo for that will start as soon as the flyer is done from them. I will push it via twitter until then. Getting a new press kit and press release setup for distribution to media outlets. I need to update my bio sometime soon to streamline it for more current events are highlighted.
We are still in cruise control but I am about to put my foot on the gas and pick up some ground. Awaiting confirmation of a few moves then I can put the pedal to the metal! Oh, by the way, someone bought a shirt last night! 1 down and a whole lot more to go! Only like 10 days left in the shirt campaign! teespring.com/stores/whoisosmith they can be found at the link!
As always, thanks for reading and riding! All support is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance for said support!

Day 23 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith
Day 23 and I know, I missed a few days which will be explained shortly but, we still rollin, rollin, rollin! So, as you may have noticed, I have not been updating the trip accordingly. Initially due to forgetting I was going forward in time heading to Vegas and then just because I was doing way too much while there! Upon return I had the opportunity but was too caught up in the new DLC from +Destiny the Game Which is awesome by the way but wont dwell on that right now.
I took a weekend vacation to Las Vegas to go to the +PlayStation Experience by +PlayStation Me and my baby went and had a blast! I got to meet Game Developers, Designers, Creators, Producers, CEO's, and Marketing Personnel. Meet +PlayWarframe +EdgeGamers Organization +Ubisoft +Electronic Arts +Bungie Destiny and a ton of other indie guys, all with great games and demos of whats to come. I was able to collect the whole set of playing cards that were there. I even got most of the set autographed by developers and producers. I was intoxicated the entire time I wasnt at the conference and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
I picked up the business cards, if I havent said so already, and was able to get a a nice about out at the conference. I got 5000 pressed up and will post the photos on my other social media sites some time tomorrow! Now on to the rest of this road trip.
So I am over 3 weeks in and the stats look like so:
+ReverbNation
Music plays
Awesome Explicit - 10
Awesome Edited - 3
Music sales
Awesome Explicit - 0
Awesome Edited - 0
+YouTube
Video plays
Awesome - 68
+Teespring
Shirt sales
Shirt type 1 - 0
Shirt type 2 - 0
Shirt type 3 - 0
Shirt type 4 - 0
+iTunes
Pre-orders
The Resume EP - 0
+Amazon.com
Pre-orders
The Resume EP - 0
This means one of two things to me. Either I dont have the support I thought I had or everybody is busy and broke! In any event, I feel some type of way right now. It literally takes less than 5 mins to watch the video or listen to the song (if its horrible and you dont like it, this post wasnt for you anyway) the single is $0.99, the whole EP is less than $5, and the shirts are only $15! If you havent done any of the above, fuck you and thank you. It is because of you I will push harder! It is because of you I will not lose! I dont need half ass supporters, if you aint behind my shit like you are the bullshit you follow that the media shoves down your throat and you love it, get the fuck off the ride! My apologies to those who make up the few numbers there and those who plan to make the eventual purchase but I find it odd that, as a person who knows, personally hundreds of people, my numbers look like that. Its almost laughable, actually it is laughable! But, I am fine now and this is my first and last outburst concerning this matter.
With that being said, the shirt campaign ends in 11 days, the song will be for sale forever, and the video will be online for the same time frame! A new video is on the horizon and the UK campaign is about to start very soon. Got the interview with +Misty International on DaGr8FM this Sunday and working on getting some music blog interviews setup.
As always, thanks for thanks for reading and riding! All support is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Day 19 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith
19 days in and you guessed it. We rollin, rollin, rollin! I'm so sorry about yesterday you guys, somehow how I'm my mind I figured I would be able to do the post on West Coast time and still be cool. Not thinking that it is 3 hours behind! So since its early as hell on EST let me let you know whats going on. I got out of work Thursday night and took a lil nap then got up and played +Destiny the Game till about 9 am. Made some noodles and took another nap. Got up and went to pick up my business cards (pictures coming soon). Then headed down to Miami to pick up my lil brother cuz he coming to Las Vegas with me. I didn't get to do much as far as the road trip goes, outside of getting the cards.
I met a business man on the flight, which was long as hell by the way, with whom I chopped it up with throughout the flight and we exchanged info. He may become a great asset in the future. We landed about 11pm Vegas time and after we checked in we took a lil tour of the hotel/casino we staying in. +Circus Circus Hotel & Casino is pretty cool. Most things were closed but can't wait till later this morning when we head to the Venetian for the +Playstation Experience
Me and lil bro walked the strip while I sipped on this 100 oz vodka infused drink I bought! Its like a 3 feet tall cup! We went inside Caesars Palace and it was nice. The strip was lit and full of people. The cab driver who brought us back to the Circus gave us some spots to check out. Bout to lay it down for a quick nap cuz I'm kinda toasted right now! I may post again sometime after the conference about my progress.
I plan on passing out cards and I brought some physical cd's to give away/sale as well. I also want to see if I can find an open mic out here! That would be "Awesome" pun intended. We got about 48 plus more hours here and I plan to make the best of it!
As always, thanks for reading and riding! All support is appreciated and thanks in advance!

Day 17 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith
17 days in, and we rollin, rollin, rollin! On the road trip side of things we are on a road with trees on each side and all traffic going in one direction. Not much to report over the since the last blog. I will be going to pick up my business cards in the morning and tomorrow night I will be flying out to Vegas. While out there I will be pushing everything heavy on the face to face tip with potential fans. Yes, I am an avid +PlayStation gamer and will definitely enjoy the conference/experience but my main goal is making my way down this road.
I got in touch with my partner +Darin Givens who is currently incarcerated, but we spoke about a few things via email. It made me realize somethings that I had already saw but wanted not to be as true as they are. I'm on this trip solo. There are no fixtures (outside of new fans) that are assisting and the ones that are have an agenda or have been paid to do so. The game has changed a whole lot and everybody is looking for a quick dollar. Its crazy because theres no more trust, theres no more love, theres no more real chemistry among people anymore. For the right.....hell not even the right price, for a few dollars more, people will abandon ship!
Its okay though I am glad to be on this trip alone because when I make it to my destination I wish a bitch would attempt to come at me as an ally. I'm on my Santa Clause shit! Im making a list and checking it twice! Its a lotta chunks of coal to be passed out lol!
Now that that's off my chest, everything else is good. Promo in other states are about to begin as well as a campaign in the UK that should be off the ground within the next week or two. I'm also going to try to get in the studio to finish the LP. I got a couple songs already done and I push a project to a fellow spitter for a duo project. Awaiting his response.
Well, that's it for today! As always thanks for reading and riding! All support is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!

Day 16 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith
Good early evening everybody! Its day 16 and you guessed it! We rollin, rollin, rollin! Today I got a late start due to being up all night playing +Ubisoft The Crew. After spending like 6 hours trying to beat the Templar on +Destiny the Game since the patch. That shit was crazy! Took a break and got back at it with my normal crew and we got it done. I digress. So I think I told yall about the houston plug yesterday and I got an email from another company interested in assisting with pushing the project. I didnt go pick up the business card this morning because I didnt go to sleep til like 9am this morning. I will pick them up tomorrow morning before going to work or worst case Friday since I do not have to come in.
Speaking of not coming in on Friday, its because I will be flying out to Vegas Friday night! Its going to be "Awesome", pun intended. I will be able to market my music and play video games at the same damn time. I need to press up some more give away's for the trip for the people who are afraid to try something new. I also need to start working on a DVD with some of my recent content as well as some highlights so when I hit a venue I can take over the screens. Like a propaganda video! Flashes of my logo and label! Me on stages and interviews! Behind the scenes footage and whatnot.
I need to push the sales of the shirts so I can start making more moves as I come up towards the release of the next single! Yes, it is very close but I will reveal that date and have previews up soon. I will be pushing those heavily in the next 2 weeks. Getting a flyer ready for that by Friday.
As always, thanks for reading and riding! All support is appreciated and thanks in advance!

Day 15 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith
Day 15 and we rollin, rollin, rollin! My apologies for not posting anything yesterday. I wanted to and planned on it but I got caught playing +Destiny the Game and by the time I stopped I had to get ready for the video release party, which by the way did not turn out as planned in no way, shape, or form. All is well though, because we still had a blast, they played the music, and we now know who not to fuck with when it comes to that aspect of business.
So in the last 48 hours or so, outside of playing the game, I just started a promo run for in Houston, Texas. I got a plug through +Noonie Junior who also shot my latest video! I got DJ E from DaGr8 FM to put my music in his Monday night rotation between 6-10PM EST. Also feel free to call in and request it at anytime. You can reach them by dialing 786-431-1979 or going to www.dar8fm.com. Just ask for "Awesome" by O. Smith. My business cards are printed up and I will pick them up in the morning! I was able to make a cameo on the +BlogTalkRadio show even though I was at the event. Got to speak with @DatBoyPrep for a brief moment about the lil BET, UFF situation.
Right now I am about to double check some sites to make sure everything is being tracked accordingly as I just got back a few more registration confirmations from BMI. After that its off to +ReverbNation for submissions, +Twitter for tweets, +Facebook+ Fan Page for attention, and +Teespring to push the shirts. Among a few other things I need to take care of. By then dinner should be done and I can resume trying to beat the Vault of Glass on +Destiny the Game
