 my first ever live performances. Here and now is the only place I ever wanna be. So I said I'm a rapper now, and then opportunities started presenting themselves. The first one was Emmy Palooza, Saturday, July 22nd, which was yesterday. I've never performed in my life, so I put together 11 songs. I know it's insane, it sounds like a lot. It was 23 minutes, 11 songs. I don't know if I bit off more than I could chew, but I'm like, that's what I wanna do. I wanna have fun with it, and I had about a week and a half to prepare, and I'm going to Dunkcamp. During Dunkcamp, I felt like I was going to perform as well. There's a Dunk show. I know my friends are there. It'd be fun to perform for them. And so I'm just practicing, and one thing I had an idea when CJ was going to the gym, in the hotel, I said, let's just perform there. It was actually his idea. And my life was expanding, I had to make space, and I'm chasing my dreams when I'm done with the race. Batchin', ride around, feelin' fantastic. Jack of all trades, I'm a master. If she a dumb, it's still passin'. The energy's gotta be matched, despite how the ass look. Goddamn, I've been there. I date a Miami, I'm callin' her mommies, since then she don't like that. I'm tellin' her sorry, hablo en poquito, and it's time to leave, you know how I do. I didn't even know I could shine like this. Took a little time to find my gifts. Leaving my skin right behind, that's the brisk I'm truncin' on my body. On top of the list, I'm gone. In between ears, conscious, clear, lacking the fear, my passion is fear. It's happenin' here, here in the now. Let me tap in real quick, let me catch my breath. Speak up from the heart, never from the head. Still gotta get it off my chest, up next, no deli. Brand, go ham, that's another different breed. I'm just refining my tendencies, they got my higher self. I am wealth, stop complainin' about the hand If you alive or well, you got a purpose here and I place the fear with nobody else. Now it's actually harder than performing for random people because it was too intimate and I'm going hard and it just was awkward. Either way, it was an amazing rap. Then the dunk show. So, we're in a hotel room. I had a feeling I'd perform at Dunk Camp and Andy asked me today, he said, why would you not? This is how it started. Dunking led to the rap and he's just the greatest person ever. So, we're about to head to the dunk show. CJ? Aw, you're mean. I have to say yes. Just doing one song, I said let's do the dunk life song. He goes, no, actually I like that other one you've been posting, Beaming Genius. Which was just validation for me, so grateful for him to see, that's how I'm shining my best. To just notice my mind, I'm trying to please other people but this performance, this journey is for me. Performance number two at camp, but this one's for real. I don't know what to expect from this audience but I'm just gonna try to light it on fire, get the boys hyped before they dunk. Hey, hey, I, who, I, who, I keep, do, do, keep, who, yes. Posting the L, like I'm CJ, now why on the world would I lay up, throwing it up in that East Bay? Ay! It's going the rim like I say, I'm, I say, I'm, posting the L, like I'm CJ, now why on the world would I lay up, throwing it up in that East Bay? I don't know if these people care to see what I'm about to do but I'm gonna go nuts. I'm just gonna have as much fun in the costume as I can. Am I nervous? Yes, we're saying yes. Thanks for coming, guys. I think the folks of L is, why do we have that? One minute, Steve Selling. What's up everybody? Steve Selling, you're fighting. You ready? It's one of these things. I couldn't breathe. After the first 10 seconds of me going hype, I couldn't even breathe. I'm basically mouthing all the words. This phase feels like now it's time to train. Now it's time to train, to be a rapper, from running, to dancing, to breath work. So I get back from dunk camp and I'm performing the next day. Beautiful, perfect day. Not just training for life, training to perform. Breath work. Follow the breath. The people need me performing at my best. So I train for you. I train for the world. Let's go. Honestly, doing this and talking to practice talking with my breath, just like performing in, I'm a fricking dunker or was or am. Point is running's not my strength. Now I feel like running because I have such a purpose behind it. It's such a strong drive, just like dunking. I didn't love the training, but I fell in love with it because of the results and what it allowed me to do. It allowed me to fly. And this is the same. Oh my God. And more inspired thoughts come too about the freedom. It feels like it's breeding, going to other countries, running, we're seeing these beautiful houses, enjoying the city, enjoying the life, feeling in two of my body, getting to eat more because I'm burning calories, grounding my body. So many benefits from physically training. And I love that it's all harmonious and how I want to perform and express myself. Just did a cold plunge, feeling incredible. The time is four, I go on at five. I just learned I'm first. In here. Good energy. All right, my man, life is good. Hey. Looking more a bit, working for corporate. Don't want to be bored with living the norm. So I put flames in record. My mama's name is Bdenaria, Stormborn, Khaleesi for sure. Formally warned that the kid is going deep. His name is Stevie C and I'm out. I need to run around. We need way more space. So the energy of the day is a Rick Rubin quote that really is going to stick with me through this journey is to make the best art. Make art that you love so much you want to share. So I'm so pumped to see what's next. I may be performing next weekend on Saturday at the Venice Beach Games. I'm just going to be practicing, training. I feel the hype and I feel the ability to perform even better. So I hope you're on your journey. Whatever you want to feel, be that energy. Be it now. You don't have to wait for it. You can have the perfect day of your life right now.
