Titling this thread: Life isn’t so bad

Random moments and background stories from moments in my life that I haven’t shared publicly from my archive. Should be fun to look through and share with you guys lol

We can start a decade ago. 2010, senior year in hs in the burg. No to these photos, just some of my favorite pics to look back on. Wash before the dreads, baby face ass mitch. We got our ass beat against Cardale Jones that game

Freshman year, got shipped off to the illustrious Clark Atlanta University. First pic, we snuck off during break to DC to throw a party or somethin and gamble (can’t remember fully). Second to last pic we drove to Atlantic city from DC and saw Steve Aoki (allegedly off Molly)

Panama spring break I believe 2012....I’ll leave the details out but it was a trip for the books. Half the city was down there too so it made it hella funny to see niggas

Summer 2013 before I transferred to OSU. First adult trip to LA with some of my dawgs. We just upped and went one day and never stopped going since, life changing trip!

This my first encounter at a dispensary out there. Slept like 10 hours that day shoutout Murph dawg.

Slid to New York All Star 2014 with @Don_Mitchb and @StarstrukTee in 8 degree temp we lived like kings though and got fits off

Summer 2014, @LoveJanai_ and I hit up Spain, Italy and France for a couple weeks. Epicccc to say the least. Best French fries and worst pizza in the world Craig lol

Kicked off spring 2015 off kinda with our heads spinning trying to get the shop ready to open. @StarstrukTee humble beginnings!

Summer/fall 2015 we kinda maxed out before we locked in for the shop opening. Went to OVO fest in Toronto, hit LA/Vegas for my birthday, and got to see @Sal__Major play his first game at Temple with my boyz Lil Phat, Fondo and Coby Lo.

September 5th, 2015 @StarstrukTee opened up the home base for business! Very important day for not just us but Columbus. 5 years later, we still here.

Winter 2015, I got to experience my first Art Basel. Kinda got my wheels turning even more in the creative world. Met Swizz, hit up some parties, linked with some of my friends I still got till this day.

Spring 2016 was kinda the turning point in our travel bag. @DudeItsRaySess @Ant_DaLadiesMan and myself ain’t missed a yearly trip since. One of my favorite LA trips. Got to see Bean in his last season, got in a goofy ass fight after the club one night threw a dope ass party

Spring 2016, we had our first fashion show not curated by us at BGSU. Super dope memories from that. @StarstrukTee left no stone unturned

We all know how legendary summer 16’ was so I’ll keep it short. Just some vibes for the good people. Ooo me and @GoodLife_cam made it to Cleveland for game 7 of the finals and probably was the best party night I’ve had for sure lol highlight of the summer.

Our 1 year @StarstrukTee anniversary!!! If you were there, you know how classic of a night this was. A lot vibes in the building, a lot of link ups, a lot of free shit, a lot of good times. Me and @WordPlayKeyz started really clicking around this then, and the rest is history.

Winter 2016 we closed out with a bang, probably one of my favorite @StarstrukTee shoots ever. @grantcameronc @MonieeJ @Mr_Football10 @WordPlayKeyz

“Can I get up there too. Nah dawg you too big” Myke B lol

Top of 2017 started off super off for me but made me more focused than ever. Had my first paid gig, first radio interview, dropped my first mix. Started to take my own music path seriously around this time. Shoutout @swmpthingdj for being a big time mentor for me fasho fasho.

I started a jean line top of 2017 that I ended up putting on hold. Flew to DC to work on it for a week with one of my ex’s/beat friends. We drove up to New York to get all the materials, rivets, etc. A lot of the info I got from this shaped my business approach moving forward.

Final product of the jeans, I never dropped them but they still in the tuck still have a good relationship with everybody involved in the process. We flew to LA to start manufacturing first week of February, partied hard too lol

Still on February 2017, the team took a trip to Vegas for the trade show to get our game together for the fall line. We balled I ain’t gone lie to ya lol

The following week we slid back to LA and was honored to speak to Manuel Arts HS. Love those kids dawg, still follow em.

Ahhhh the infamous FREE LOVE, what a time. Shoutout @Forteghb Tim @WordPlayKeyz and @StarstrukTee we came together to combat the negative energy in the world with all the police brutality. Was something special. Sending love to all you Kings!

Yes I dyed my hair purple lol

Aye @StarstrukTee remember we did that pop up shop in cincy? This shit was so dope dawg! Threw a rager that night too wit the UC football team. Must’ve been a hell of a feeling to come back to where it all started with a brand that’s sustainable. Legend

We had a spring fashion show at Cincinnati university too. If I could I would show y’all bts was drunker than needed by time we even did final walk through. Shoutout to cincy fasho! @StarstrukTee

Started summer 17’ off with another one of my favorite shoots from the gang. I almost blew my hand off with that green smoke bomb that day @JDESHAWN__ dumb ass jumped from that ledge, we still got the footage lmao

I think fall 2017 was the coming out party for the Columbus music scene. We had some dope ass shows around this time, shoutout the run FPM had.
Gang went to Kentucky for the Pepsi music fest, turned around and I DJ’d the one in Columbus @eh_kees @Bizzlethe_ @WordPlayKeyz MOVIE!

Almost forgot I DJ’d in Vegas fall 2017. Very very drunk night, don’t even remember how this night ended

Top of 2018 was my act a ass time period for sure lol got to fly with my moms in Miami, went to support my brudda @Dat_Dude_Nix at the pro bowl in Orlando with @TankDaGod1 and somehow ended back in Miami at King of Diamonds

Imma go on the record and say that when I threw Midwest Mardi Gras 18’, I had the livest party the city seen in a good min. Everything was free, sooo many bad joints there, random live performances, first time @lovedragon5000 was wit me on the boards. Absolute zoo that night

LA All Star 2018 might’ve been the weekend we turned the corner on different level talk, effortlessly. @DudeItsRaySess @Ant_DaLadiesMan we was on demon time before it was called that. Don’t regret one part of that weekend.

Summer 18 was different type time too. Threw parties every weekend (if you know you know). I think we all started transitioning into music being our professions around this time. I for sure started to let go of any pre conceived opinions.

@lovedragon5000 @ZacFresh @NASAGOLD614

18 was a whole lot of DJ’n, a lot of growth on my craft in that aspect. A lot of focus on building the team, all of good was memories with my guys. From OS to Breakaway fest.

Y’all see how Delicious is lookin at the boy

@DJBangerz_ @domosounds @WordPlayKeyz @DJ_BERN

No lie, DJ’n the @DaveEast concert summer 18’ might’ve been the best part of the summer. We was lit that day

@lovedragon5000 @DJBangerz_ @domosounds @WordPlayKeyz @StarstrukTee

Probably one of my favorite birthdays to day was August 2018. All my guys came out and was able to be together for once. Me and Keyz slid to LA to finish Young & Restless, I think it was his first trip out there I can’t remember but we balled when he wasn’t in a weed coma

My homecoming Fall 18’ I slid back to Atlanta for the first time in a couple years. @FRVRKent and @WordPlayKeyz came down and started a project that we never finished. Minus the boy band moment it was a super fly trip.

Top of 2019, was highs and lows fr fr.
First pic was the first time I started maki beats on my own at the infamous Palace @YogiSplit
Second pic was my first time outside after having surgery again.
Same week duality type shit.

Took a min to get back to where I needed to be.

Took the summer off 19, had some legal stuff I had to tackle, lost a close friend of mine, a lot of family hurdles.

Fall 19, we got back to fashion shows, back to ballin (Denver), back to spinnin, back to the love of things.

Highlight was DJ’n an event for my colleges HC.

2020 I couldn’t have asked for a better start. Fashion week NYC, DJ’d All Star Chicago, and dropped Rookie Year. I’m at peace with self, with my family, with my relationships I carry on. Life’s not too bad.
