“Wait for Sunrise” will be here in two days, I feel like things are going to be a little different for some reason. I know l will be putting even more records out in the future, ones that I love just as much as this one. But I’m ready to hit the road with my music…I think everyone knows I like working with people, and helping in what ever way I can. I have been seriously working on records for others going on 8 years! (my birthday is in July) and I love every second of it, and I’m still going to work with others. But it’s my time now. I’m 25 years old, I got my first placement at 19, and “Wait for Sunrise” is my first record. In my own words this record is a quick trip in my mind. (track 1) I WAIT (or waited) for sunrise because I am in a moment of clarity. I’m seriously committed to representing myself through my music. I was not guided by anyone when making this record. Not by managers, A&R, artist, musicians, publicists, blogs, tweets, or leprechauns. Just me in my studio, with my few instruments a few friends that wanted to play on a track or two and some long nights with cups and smoke in hand. (track 2) I love my family and my friends they are always going to be there to check me, and I will be there to do the same so I hope I have your blessing in my journey, I know I do. (track 3) I will be working on myself forever. I always believed that it never stops, walking down the road is the best part and there is no end just really cool towns. (track 4) Me lost in my world of music, like I always am. Head down eyes closed my world begins. (track 5) It pulls you away, your personal distraction and we all have it. The fight will always be there and you may win or lose. (track 6) travel with me in thought, close your eyes and let your ears roam in the sounds, let the beat wave across you and let go of concepts . How it might be “like this other song” because it not, its this song. (track 7) In this world we live in there will be much destruction and pain, but I do think we try to make it better even when sometimes that makes it worse. It is a wild cycle, so we try…(track 8) I am a person that still has hope for myself and others, I feel like its hard to live with out it. So want to always support it. So who ever is reading this, thank you! I really appreciate it. I know I’m mostly in my own world but I share space with everyone. The record comes out in a couple of days, please enjoy an spread it. Love :-D -Khari Mateen
