Transparency: Keep it 100!!!


I know many of us have wondered why is so difficult for people to be truthful with us in relationships, friendship, or business partnership. So easily we wonder why do people have to be deceitful or plain out liars when it comes to relationships. In modern day slang why can't they keep it 100...
When questions like these enter my mind I often try to go to the beginning of it all. When humanity had the awesome chance to be real. When God asked Adam "Where are you"? He could have easily confessed I am in sin but instead as we read more of the story he places all the blame on the woman losing all rights to the garden of Eden and to toil and work by the sweat of his brow.
Trust me when we fail to keep it 100 or transparent with others we lose something just like Adam. We may not lose the garden of Eden but how valuable are the trust of friendship, spouses, or love ones. Remember when you fail to be transparent its not only the person deceived that suffers loss but the deceiver as well. So please keep 100..

It's going to take...

Have you ever asked yourself what keeps you from total victory? Why am I not delivered from what I am going through? Sometimes the answers to these questions are simple and obvious. For some of us the answer can boil down to one thing. FAITH!!! You can't take it lightly. Faith is what helped David kill a giant with a sling. Faith is what made an older Sarah bare a child. Faith is what helped Gideon defeat a formidable Midianite army with only 300 men.

Your faith is a force to reckoned with. Jesus said be it unto you according to your faith. Now that we know that faith is key we must build on it. The Bible says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Pray in the word, speak the word, meditate in the word and definitely read it. The word is your gasoline to a full tank of faith. As you go through life remember all things are possible to those that will believe.

Misery Loves Company

Whether we want to admit it or not success isn't taken by all our peers as a good thing. Sometimes the better you do the more opposition you face by even those that should be supportive. I am finding a good way to handle this and a bad way way to handle it.
We all have to make a decision at this point. Either we allow our so called friends to make us feel guilty for attaining our goals or make the hard decision and let them go if they constantly try to make you feel miserable for succeeding. Not to say these decisions will be easy but in the end I believe your happiness is worth it.

The Independent Artist Process

As an independent artist I am experiencing the highs and the lows of this music industry. With so many books of how to and what not to do it can be a little overwhelming in the least when trying to launch a career. You can go to your local mall, barber shop, even gas station and find an independent artist trying to pass out a CD or someones poster plastered against a wall. So where does that leave me? The ambitious Preacher Rapper and Singer Kenyetta Drain.

If I was uncertain I would say trouble but the race is not given to the swift nor the strong but those that endure. This music industry is about endurance, patience, and determination. Doors of opportunities will open and yes there will be many moments of rejection. This is one independent artist who wants to take you me on his journey of successes and failures and help someone along the way. Hopefully you can see that the guy on the corner isn't just hustling but just needs a better plan and presentation and the skill set in which to bring his music to the stage not tossed out someones car window.

Follow me in my journey and feel free to give advice and challenge me to be the best artist I can be.
