And getting upset with ME, as a result of I am simply listening to about it? In actual time folks swarmed me whereas I used to be nonetheless determining what was occurring.

However after in the present day I am absolutely uninterested in the trade and the complicit folks linked to it. Why would I keep within the bigger trade when there’s so many fucked up folks lurking round? I am exposing it with my platform. Rn. And one of the best ways to try this is to ALSO not have something to lose if ur gonna. Time for me to go Indy and write solo music and play exhibits with my associates domestically once more.
