What is a typical day like for you? I was in the army so I wake up early as hell.. 4am to be exact every morning. I go running at La Fitness, and lift weights for an hour. Then I head to cafe 19 and eat breakfast. After that I surf web for beats. I brain storm and jot down different ideas to tracks or metaphors, or just cleaver/catchy lines. I will then begin to write and write and write. I right 8hrs a day. Then after my 8 hours I look for more beats.
