 I'm a rapper now okay the vlog is back am I committing to it we'll see listen I'm a rapper now the main thing is just like my dunk journey I had to be a dunker before I ever dunked you have to commit to the journey that's what I'm committed to I'm committed to the journey of being a rapper so I have so many things I want to share but the main thing is I want to take you on this journey I am a rapper now it's been the most fun exhilarating journey thus far and it hasn't even started I have my first live performance a week from today today's Friday next Saturday the 22nd so we'll see how that goes as soon as I opened up the portal to become a rapper and start doing live performances I had three in a week first of all I set up to do this vlog so excited and this is what I love about life I sat on my bed just testing out this camera I don't even have the right lens all these doubts but then I realized oh my god this was my very first vlog like I did with dunking sat on my bed no shirt oh my god what is up guys it's finally time for my I should probably put a shirt on what's up guys alright my first vlog it's kind of weird talking to nobody I do that normally but usually people aren't watching or that I don't record it it was an amazing synchronistic parallel universe moment and I want to share more of those with you beyond excited because now I have some proof of what dunking can do when I follow these impulses of excitement and now I have all these new skills knowing my mindset staying focused creativity understanding how I'm guided in the universe and what lights me up all the skills I learned over 10 years and then the proof of what I can do with my body now it's beyond my body this is just one of those actions that I did not see coming and I want more of those and I can't wait to share with you guys this journey are you pumped or what the energy of the day is I started saying I'm a rapper committing to that and I can get into how I found my calling but when I started saying that now opportunities present themselves I tell somebody on that and they tell me oh I actually have a performance I tell my friends that they're now listening to it so it branches out the second you speak it and you commit to it you will start to notice these things and that's why I love saying I am a rapper because if I was someone asked me for performance I say I love rapping I try to rap but if I say I'm a rapper and I'm just that's who I am now I have to do it like this performance I've been saying I'm a rapper now this performance comes and they're like hey do you want to perform live do do I have any idea I have yes I have songs and I've never done it so it feels like all the dunk training and training I mean vlog training as well was training for me to get the balls to do this if there's one thing I want you to take away from today and this entire journey is you have to be it that is what be the energy is what is your energy calling you towards I would love your questions and I'm going to share my insight to how to follow your unique energy it's about cutting away what anybody else says and just really getting clear on your heart the word of the day is clarity how can you get so clear on who you are and why what lights you up and what's in the way of you acting on that why are you not doing what lights you up because what lights you up is gonna light up the world butterfly huh this story is very cool of how I got to being a rapper through dunking seeing it as a mountain so I just wanted to share some of the pieces that a ways I found my gifts and how to find your own gifts when I started dunking it was just a dream pure joy that's nugget number one and and I let the possibility of imagine if this is possible pull me towards the goal and that was a huge lesson for me is that I was able to overcome all the doubts all the fears all the judgments simply because I was so excited by the possibility that's the same as now with rapping I was in corporate 9 to 5 job did not like that so I said oh maybe I could start vlogging I start vlogging and I turn the camera on me and that helped me learn my love for expressing and just sharing and also just cameras trying to follow what I love to do so I was already documenting my dunk journey but the vlog came from me saying what if this is a way out of my corporate job so just trying things listening to those inspirations and thinking I would enjoy this I saw vloggers blowing up on YouTube usually inspired by Casey nice that this would be an amazing thing to do instead of working at the job I'm at then as I started vlogging I'm thinking of other ways so I started a podcast now what they both had in common is when I would make my videos try to make them better just for fun just for fun and I would add music and then I loved adding music I realized how fun it was to create the video then I said this video needs an intro then I started making my own wraps to that music just for the intros of my video you guys know the dunk life anthem then looking at other ways to quit my corporate job I was thinking podcasts are blowing up they just started and they're even more monetizable I never was great at monetizing it but this is another way this is another revenue stream and this was a big pivotal moment because when I went to buy my first podcast microphone I got one that was for music as well for rapping as well not strictly speaking I just got a brand new car almost a 2016 but it's an Audi it's cool just got a brand new whip I do not want a house I want a foreign little trip talking Asia in the south I throw it in I'm a go get it fuck it I go off the dribble just want to dunk amazing welcome to dunk like daily I want more time to spit need more support from the click I don't want worry about shit six in the morning I read you throw it I'm smashing the lobbies don't have a catch in the body this is much more than a hobby your boy going up come and watch me yeah who's doing this what am I doing so that's one of those moments where I had this inclination I'm gonna do more music and it was just for fun again and then came the point when I was just deep in corporate I would write some raps just to express what I feel it was just a therapeutic thing for myself and looking back it's manifested this life that I wanted if you listen to my rap since I'm living the life that I would talk about in those raps I didn't know about it till I started sharing my raps our stars and us is so similar we shine bright but never reach the limelight and we hardly get noticed our love gets lost in the motion the only goal is promotion but that's not where I am focused so I write lines to unwind let loose and produce the same music I was using to that look confused and that's the reason that I do this and I'm looking at my life that I choose this what I see now is that when I'm super aligned and feeling amazing I like to share from that frequency and it's tapping into things in the future so not only are my raps manifesting the future but they are healing me they're allowing me to have fun they allowed me to still feel like I'm being expressed even if no one heard the rap I'm like I just want to get this out that's my energy is externalizing and and sharing and expressing others may be responding and taking in information to go somewhere to take in information it's about learning your flow so once I quit my corporate job I'm like let me see if I can make a music video just make the best raps I can I got inspired to make better and better raps had a bad day but I bounce right back this don't fluke cuz I'm on my path when I hit that speed gotta stay on track there are no shortcut you already know that this song work ain't six inch twice yes I'm blessed but I still gotta press God do what you can't but you gotta do the rest I'm preaching this shit like your boy at a sermon stop with the search and start with the work and I've been dropping knowledge my youtuber college with all of my videos could have already been flying because they started to get decent and just like just like I started to get decent and dunking I'm like what's the top here and I started doing windmills and between the legs and dunk contest and then dunk camp so with rapping I'm like let me see how far could take this look how good I got with photography and videography let me see how good I can get with music this expression that's so much fun and that's what I kept following and now it was like the biggest commitment the scariest yet saying I'm gonna be a rapper and now I'm doing it to say it right now feels insanely exciting because I've removed all the blocks and I see that I can just allow this fun to take me oh my god this is like a magical day and I'm so grateful to share it with you and I'm so pumped to go on this journey not just achieve the things it's so fun I know it's possible now and it's not that I know it's possible that I'm excited for the journey and the destination I'm so excited to see what unfolds because now I have the proof of what dunking led to from new dunks to insane hype and insane videos and connections and the people I met in dunk camp and all these different things that to think about where it's going so thank you for your support merch coming soon there'll be ways you can support me and I appreciate all of that I just want to shine and I want to lead by example and I want you guys to realize whatever your dreams are you don't have to explain how you know them you know them you know what you're feeling and you know what's calling you I could go nuts right now what if I told you I left it up to the universe and it meant it magic yeah I just spoke the word and it happened I'm detention filled up tension on my magnet live imagine look my
