This is my 3rd major project. Title inspired by Mos Def’s White Drapes.
Also inspired by producer Afta-1, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx & It Was Written
This is something I’ve been working on for a while and, majority of people who pay attention to my music on this site have only heard the…yooo…

A little history on making shit last
Alright so before I begin I wanna give some background on some shit that probably don’t really matter.. but I’m currently working at some electronic waste recycling facility…and we get a ton of shit..but mostly shit we use everyday from printers, tvs, computers…any type of electronics you can think of we probably got.
And on Friday (yesterday) which was 4/20…niggas was high at work and happened to stumble upon something I never seen before…had no idea what the fuck it was…It was just a box. Heavy as shit though.
So i’m trying to figure this shit out..turning it around and looking for shit…and I soon realize that shit is old as fuck…like older than yo mama…really though..when I figure out how to open this bad boy it turns out to be a projector..and damn you shoulda seen this motor thing inside of it..
But yo coming to the point of this post..it’s history my dudes…I figure out this shit was made in the 40s but lasted pretty much until today…Do you know why?
People didn’t give a shit about creating something with the cheapest materials…They wanted shit to last..and they prevailed…If you look at everything from our past…a lot of man made objects still survive
But what happened to the shit we make today? Complete opposite…we create with cheap materials to last for a little bit then we’ll replace that shit with another cheap piece of shit…shit is recycled on the regs.
But coming back to this projector..everything about it felt like it was rich material..that took countless amount of time to construct…every piece of metal was heavier than my entire laptop..which will probably be recycled within years…
and I’m amazed by anything man made that has lasted till this day..and I mean everything from pyramids, to sculptures, to old school cars and this projector…
There’s probably someone with more knowledge on this projector and if you know anything about it let me know..It’s called a Bell and Howell Filmosound “179” 16 mm
The above picture is what I have left of it…by the way I felt heartbroken while I was tearing the projector apart
On the real how bout we start doing shit that lasts man?
It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.

I think blind people are very dope. Like if they’re an artist. The visions that they image are very unique.

But what does it mean?
For me, every time I come across something that pushes me forward, makes me stronger, allows me to do what I want, be in complete love with what I do, feel as if not a single person can stop me, and be me. That’s what it means.
The greatest thing about ISOM is that it caters to you. Everyone is as unique as your fingerprint and so should your state of mind. Whatever that allows you to feel on top of the world, that’s Incognito State of Mind. Be the greatest at what you do but don’t stop there, be greater.
