Less than week left! We are 44 Days in and rollin, rollin, rollin! Its freaking New Years Eve!!!! I dont get as excited about the holidays as I used to back in my younger days but tonight I know that some club in Cardiff, Wales will have people vibing to my music! That I will drink to! No resolutions set as I want to keep improving day by day from 44 days ago forward!
I got a majority of the list for submissions done today. Still need to get the files converted to WAV. format. I have been slacking in that department but will definitely get around to it, I promise. The Clean Up Man video has been confirmed as a go on the VEVO and 2 other sites that pay out. I dont plan on doing ANY promo on that one initially.
I want to see who is paying attention and what it can do on its own. I was just about to make a remark about calling out the people coming out now that I have outside support but remembered I said something about it already lol.
I sat by the pool last evening and put all of the physical disc into cases. Posted a pic on my Instagram which in-turn posted pics to my other social media sites! I may start selling the physical copies early but I havent decided yet. If you need a physical copy feel free to contact me and I will make that happen!
As usual, thanks for reading and riding! All support is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance for said support!

Day 43 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith
43 and at this current moment I cant think of anything witty that goes with it, lol, but we are that many days in and rollin, rollin, rollin! I am about to leave work shortly and figured I'd knock the blog out before I got home and got caught up gaming or doing other things! Yesterday was an #Awesome day by the way. Lets get right into it!
We gone start with the highlight and thats the love I have been getting from The UK in the last few days! I'm talking about mad love from The UK! There is a station out there called Radio Cardiff 98.7FM and they have been spinning #Awesome 2-3 times a day! One of the host is a guy name @Schwarz_BBC4L (on twitter) and he's been beyond cool!
He had me call in and do an interview over the radio, in The UK! I had to add international long distance on my phone and everything! Well worth it though. Though him I also linked up with some DJ's out that way and in communication about adding #Awesome to their playlist! On top of that, a very popular DJ by the name of @DJBlack (on twitter) will be spinning #Awesome on #NYE (New Years Eve) in his sets!
The 2 paragraphs above alone had me on cloud nine! I got my reviews back from ReverbNation and it was harsh but genuine and I needed that. It showed me there is still people out there looking for content, there are also people out there who dont care for content, and all around let me know I am on the right path.
The press release was complete and sent out for distribution. The release is literally one week away! I can wait and at that point its only the beginning! It was crazy to see how the love came out once I started getting love from outsiders. My facebook is jumping right now and I literally have done nothing different in the last 24 hours that I've done in the last 43 days! It's all good though, because I called it like a pool shot!
As always, thanks for reading and riding! All support is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance for said support!

Day 42 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith
Oh yeah! Looking like Ronnie Lott out here! 42 Days in, and we rollin, rollin, rollin! Hello everyone! I didnt get to blog yesterday but I did get a little bit of work in. I packaged up some of the physical copies of #TheResumeEP. That was about it lol. I was abducted by some out of town family and taken to a cookout/watch party. I had a few drinks, ate, came home, ate again, and went to bed.
Came in to work early today. I got back on track with the submissions and uploaded another track fro the EP to +SoundCloud and got a couple more spins on Cardiff Radio in The UK. I just started the push on the +ReverbNation app and next is local promo. Got in contact with a local DJ who is hosting an event mid Jan. Awaiting a reply, I'll keep you guys posted.
Nothing much going on today. I feel kinda strange writing this early. I shall continue throughout the day with submissions and making moves in the back office for the greater good. "The Greater Good" LMAO If you seen the movie +Hot Fuzz you know what I'm talking about!
As usual, thanks for reading and riding! All support is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance for said support.

Day 40 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith
Looking like Shawn Kemp out here! 40 Days in and we rollin, rollin, rollin!!! I feel phenomenal as usual! In my ShadyXV vibe right now! With each passing day, things just seem to keep getting better! I'm loving it, bah dah dah dah daaaaaah! Alright we bout to get right into it!
So this morning, I was in touch with some affiliates of a radio station in the UK. +Radio Cardiff will be spinning #Awesome over the next week or so and if the response is good enough it could make regular rotation! I'm also looking at setting up an on air interview with them as well! This is one of the few moves I am working on in the UK.
I submitted some tracks to another batch of licensing companies. Most of them are on holiday leave so I wont get result til mid to late Jan. I still got a long list to go. I try to knock off about 20 per day. I still need to get the wav. versions in my email so I can send to the ones who only use those.
I had a long convo about fans and supporters at work with some of my fellow employees. Somehow through my personality I gained 3 fans of my music from work and a couple supporters on that merit alone. Loving it I am!
I will only have Sunday off so I might not do too much as I will be back on it, on it bright and early Monday morning!

Day 39 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith
39 24's on this journey and we rollin, rollin, rollin! So I had a partial epiphany somewhere between leaving work and going to sleep! I mean it wasnt all that magical because I kinda only stated the obvious but I guess it was awesome because I somehow did not realize it until then. I'm usually quick on my feet about most things, especially things like that. To the point, I realized that this journey has gotten me back to being more independent and self sufficient. I have been on such a long hiatus (on and off) and havent really pushed for anything outside of video games and food!
With each day, minus the days I spent playing +Destiny the Game for 18+ hours, I found myself working harder and harder towards this goal. It also started to spill over into my personal life as well. The ambition, the drive, the willingness to do again! What an #Awesome feeling!
I spent most of the day haggling prices with people to transcribe my book idea. The other half I have been submitting the new songs to any and everywhere I could. I got this long ass list and I am working it, site by site! Its over 100 and I am only 20 in. I need to get the song on my work computer in WAV format for the sites that did not accept MP3. I also need to get a more in depth description of the tracks. I was never asked that before!
No more hourly post of the video. It's too much and if someone has not seen it yet, it's because they don't want to watch it. I will continue to post videos though. Just not the same one all day! People that know me won't listen to my music when promoted by me but I guarantee once it is push by outside or unknown people it will magically become a great song! LMAO! FOH!

Day 38 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith
38 days in and, you guessed it, we rollin, rollin, rollin! Merry Christmas everyone! I know I had a long, long spillage of information yesterday and due to it being Christmas Eve not much has changed since. It has been a pretty good day at work. Not as slow as I expected but not that bad. I didnt play +Destiny the Game last night. Watched a few episodes of +The Walking Dead and had a few drinks. I ended up going to sleep earlier than usual and waking up on the same tone.
I used the time this morning to update my +SoundCloud account and I added #Awesome #CleanUpMan & #CreatedAMonster for a project that will embed my player on their site. Oh man! I had a back and fourth with a person getting ready to review the EP and his words about my work ethic even before he heard the project had me feeling wonderful. It felt great to be recognized for the work that I put in. Even better by someone who never met me before!
I have been trying to put some work into this book of mine but man its hard! I hate typing because my mind goes faster than I can type, especially when recalling some of the information. I can type new and random things without much stress. When I pull from what I know its harder due to my thought speed. I have started looking for assistance. Checking rates from Craigslist and other sources. I think I will try my social media for some assistance for the low though because the rates I have gotten so far are higher than expected.
I got the #CleanUpMan video and it needs a tweak or two and it will be ready for release. I may drop it early into the new year right before #TheResumeEP is released. On that note, I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and goodnight!
As always, thanks for reading and riding! All support is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!

Day 37 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith
Oh yeah! 37 days in and we rollin, rollin, rollin! The last update was right before my usual 3.5 day hiatus, and yes, I spent most of that time playing video games! Got a lot of +Destiny the Game in and even got back into some +Grand Theft Auto V during that time. I did get some things done on the journey though. I had a few setbacks as well.
We will start with the bad stuff. I hired someone to write up a press release for the EP. They cancelled due to whatever the case was. This has been the second person to do so. Only one shirt was sold during the campaign which made the campaign dead. Thats about all the bad that I can think of at the moment. On to the good!
Lets first counter the bad! I got someone else on the job for the press release & got faith they will deliver! I am going to run another Shirt campaign starting right after Christmas. I will only run it for about 2 weeks to see how it runs. I have gotten back in touch with +Misty Malec aka Tampa Mystic to get my music out through her channels! She is a great plug in the industry and a great person overall!
I added some spins to my +Radio Airplay Italia account. Got 2 followers today alone. I need to get on there and change the artist stations my tracks run on. I got submissions sent to about 200 UK local FM and College Radio Stations. I'm looking at getting some contacts in the UK to get more content and exposure in The UK. I also submitted the EP for review on +ReverbNation through the Crowd Review program.
The video for "Clean Up Man" is complete and running a few teasers here and there. I will most likely save it for right before the EP release date or sometime shortly there after! It will also be available on VEVO upon release. The +Vevo channel is already setup and awaiting the video. On that tone, "Awesome" is being altered to fit the VEVO criteria so I can add it on there as well!
I signed up for ReverbNation Pro today. I submitted a ton of things from the opportunities page! I misspelled a word a second ago and it made me remember that I have started back on my book. There is a few post on my +Tumblr page in my archives. It's called "Adventures Of A Slay Guru". I am also looking into starting my own publishing company, but thats another conversation.
That was a lot! As usual, thanks for reading and riding! All support is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.
