The rain hadn’t stopped coming down since the previous night.
The rain puts me in a shitty mood.
Plus I just have all kinds of issues with adulthood.
I did not feel like being friendly with anyone and part of my job requires me to be cordial at least to my clients. I wasn’t feeling them. Usually I can adjust my sullen attitude with a little retail therapy but the the Air Yeezys were sold out everywhere.
I felt like playing in traffic.
When I left the office it was already dark outside.
The asphalt disguises the depth of the puddles and I stepped in several that wet my ankles.
I was on my way to the liquor store when I got a text message from my G. He asked me how I was doing, but I think he already knew. Me and sonn share the same new year’s date. He told me to stop by the studio and share some dinner with him.
I’m glad I didn’t decline his invite.
JOELL ORTIZ was in the studio recording.
His latest song is now my rainy daze anthem.
I needed to hear some shit like this which is light years away from the nihilistic and narcissistic rap music that dominates the genre. This is the type of song that helps you put on your emotional armor. When I left the studio it felt like the rain had stopped.
