Draus: A man and his music.
Welcome to my Myspace page, and thanks for coming. Those of you who are new, I hope you enjoy what I bring to you, and come back for more. I'll try to give you a reason to stop through and grab some new music, check out some new pics, or read a new blog. I have enough music in the catalog to keep the site fresh with new music (or at least music you haven't heard yet).
I love being able to take my thoughts and put them into a verse, or take my emotions and transform it into a beat with the right melody and drums. I'm so in love with it, and it just comes naturally. I don't have to try unless I get caught up in what everybody else is doing, and use that as a basis of a song. When I start off pure emotion and my thoughts, everything just flows, and I just let it take me where it takes me. I don't have to try, because the music tells me where to go.
It's when you get caught up in the BUSINESS of it, that the shyt gets difficult. That's when you gotta find a balance, and that balance is what I try to bring to the listeners. The balance is trying to make the music I like, and at the same time, making sure that someone else will be able to enjoy it. Everybody doesn't go through what I go through. At the same time, I've been in situations that a whole bunch of different people can relate to.
I like to keep in mind that the quality of my music has to be right. People get mad at today's Hip Hop and Rap music they hear on the radio and see on TV. They say a lot of it is garbage and it's corny. Everybody has their opinions, but the bottom line is that technology is making music sound better than ever, for cheap. That reason alone means Y'ALL GOT NO EXCUSE TO MAKE GARBAGE.
The stuff on the radio might sound corny to you, but the sound quality and the mixes are better than ever. They FEEL good. They SOUND good. The lyrics might not be about anything, but it SOUNDS good. All the underground artists gotta remember that's what they're competing with. The music might not be about shyt, but it sounds better than ever. I try to remember that when I make my songs, and put my CDs together to give to the public. I want you to come back. My Music is worth your money. It's worth the money I put into it, and I make sure I do a good job.
At the same time, you can't get mad at the "Chicken Noodle Soup" and "Lip Gloss" joints for the lil' youngins. Nowadays, there's so much sex in music it's crazy. They NEED harmless songs that don't talk about the grown up shit that leads to lil' kids having babies.
My music is hardcore, but I can respect the fact that we need Will Smiths, and Mos Defs, and Lil' Mamas, and Ciaras to create a balance. The gangsta shyt is cool and all, and so is the booty-music, but we need something to balance it all out, so these kids today can know they got choices and options. Not just choices and options with the music they buy, but choices and options with how they live. All they see is the hood. Nowadays, they don't just see it when they live it, they listen to it, and watch it on tv, and when they finally start trying to read, they read hood books. There's more to life than the hood and the hood way of living. Even in the hood, there are people who wake their asses up and go to work EVERYDAY and raise their kids right, but you don't hear about that. It's not marketable. DEATH IS MARKETABLE. We need to make LIFE more marketable. Make LIFE in demand.
