A taste of Venice Beach, CA
I know it's been a while since I've posted anything on here, sorry about that lol, so much is going on, all a blessing tho. Just realized that I never got a sec to post any pics from my first stop on the Blaze the Stage tour which was in Venice, CA. Never seen a place so beautiful in my life. Still trips me out looking at the pics, never been that close to an ocean in my life lol. The basketball court in one of the pics is the exact court that they shot the movie "White Man Can't Jump"... ILL! Where I come from rarely anyone's able to experience and see anything like this so it's only right that I share. Only the beginning. Enjoy

They Say the Truth Shall Set You Free..... HOPEFULLY
Throughout everything I've encountered on this journey, I've rarely found myself in a nervous state of mind. Everything as of late has really been more routine than anything but as of this exact second I'm filled with a million different emotions because I truly don't know what may come about after tomorrow. I've never received so much love & anticipation for one of my own projects before. No one understands how many expectations have been set for me with this "T.O.L.E.D.O" mixtape/album. It's my first all original project which also adds even more pressure. I've always avoided acknowledging it but in the back of my mind have always known that truly as a recording artist I haven't done shit. All my previous mixtapes were freestyles over other cats' beats with no true material showcasing my own creativity and style of music. For the most part to say the least I've been just following the ever growing trend that all new artists do, just put out what I think the people want to hear just to get them on my side. I'm so far past that now and needed to establish my own identity as an artist which is exactly what I feel I've done with "T.O.L.E.D.O"
"T.O.L.E.D.O" = This Opportunity Let's Every Demon Out. The name is exactly what the music on it does. There's so much I've dealt with that no one would have a clue about. The project is a story from start to finish, explaining my beginnings and struggles. Then came the start to success which led to a lot of the different addictions and bullshit that I'm dealing with to this day. My calling with music is both a gift and a curse, I swear you have not the slightest idea. I was so honest, and I'm sure that honesty will shock many people, especially my own family. I revealed secrets about myself (from all the different drugs to women, betrayal & even death) that they too have no clue about. I pray that none of them take anything the wrong way but shits been killing me for entirely too long. I hate when cats say "This is more than music" but to keep the bread fresh that's exactly what "T.O.L.E.D.O" was for me. Everyone has a story, tomorrow the world will know mine.

Collect Calls
Just talked to my cousin Alex......... Never really talked about him much in public. Been my best friend all my life, were raised together at my grandmother's, both come from nothing and had fucked up parenting situations which made us only stick with each other and no one else. We were the closest thing until about 13 and he moved to Cali. Things were never the same afterward, when we'd talk he was a completely different person, smoking and fucking at a time when I was still a virgin and never smoked shit, never even thought about it. Then went years without talking, occasionally he'd call my granny's but I'd always be gone. Crazy because I didn't even know he had moved back to Toledo until my senior year in high school, walked in on a conversation in the hallway about some dude that just moved back to Toledo from Cali and was gang banging heavy, called him "Super Crip" lol. I asked the name and they replied Alex, the chick that was talking the most was pregnant by him. She linked us back up but sadly enough to say he was already too far gone.
Killed me gettin back in touch with him, simply because I had to be the one to tell him about granny passing. From there things just went worse, got locked up and sentenced to about 2 years and some change. Before he went in and we talked I was still just Brandon, by time he got out I was "B Wills". Hard to be so close to someone all your life and then one leaves, comes back, and everything's totally different. Family's abandoned him, friends snitching on him, I'm literally all he has, literally.
Feels like I'm so close, not close to being famous, but to the beginning of something much more special. The outpour of love from fans and supporters has been such a complete blessing. There's so many ppl that are missing in my life that I wish could be here and enjoying everything with me, he's definitely atop that list. Still hasn't set in with him that I rap out of all things lol. I really feel like I can make a different life for him once he's out, plus he just told me that if things go great he may be out soon. I just pray that he clean up a few bad habbits and jump on board. He may not always be seated, but there's always a seat for him.
Love you homie
- B

Strictly Business... Nothing Personal.
I've always been told that my good heart was gonna always get me hurt, this was even before I started music. I've always given people the benefit of the doubt and try to search for and bring out the best in people, I get it from my grandmother. I'm realizing that I can and should always stay that way but when it comes to this industry that shits out the window.
I just don't get cats, everyone look at me now as if I owe them something and I HAVE TO do shit for free or for the low, then catch a sucka attack when they're given a price. Fucked up part is that it's always someone I don't even know lol, it would be at least a little better if it was at least one of my homies or something lol. So because I've worked myself to a point to where I'm compensated for anything that I do I'm stuck up now and got the big head? Fuck outta here.
Maybe they just think I'm incompetent due to my silence. Please don't think I'm not paying attention lol. Guarantee you I'll never do another favor or look out again. This isn't targeted at a direct person cuz it's so many of you that use a person's humility and situation to your advantage to come up. Straight business, nothing personal ever again. Lesson Learned

SO I CHANGED HUH?
Shit's been happening and changing at such a fast pace. I always told myself I could make it, but never thought it would hit so hard and fast. So many great things are in the works and a nigga so happy that I wanna share each and every detail but unfortunately I can't. Along with all the blessings has also been something that's been really bothering me like for real. I've been told a million times about how things would be once things started taking off but DAMN! I need for people to understand that although things around me have changed, I HAVEN'T.
All day, everyday, I get messages with people upset because I can't respond to their every fb message, text, phone call, etc. It's crazy because before the 106 performance honestly I wasn't hearing from hardly ANYONE. Now I knew that this would happen to an extent, but the shit really hurts when it's people that I felt or thought really knew me. My own family doesn't even hear from me as much but they would never get upset or even question if I'm the same person because they know how hard I'm working right now. Maybe ya'll might not understand but THIS IS IT FOR ME, this may be the only moment that I have to really reach my dreams. I'm not doing this just to be that nigga in my city, and it damn sure isn't for pussy, I know what that feels and tastes like already, shit's not why I work so hard! Number one I LOVE MUSIC, and most of all this will be able to give my princess every single thing I never had and will permit a promising future for her.
I try my hardest to make sure that I reply to everyone, including those I don't know, but please don't take my absence as if "Aw that nigga Wills think he the shit now" or "Yea he got the big head" because that's totally not me and anyone that truly knows me knows that. It's crazy lmao, I can't ever have a frown on my face, because the second I do to everyone else I'm lookg funny because "Oh he think he better than everyone else now" and it's like damn, I'm just having a bad day lol, has nothing to do with anyone else. Once again I'm thankful of everyone's love and support, I really am, all I ask is that I don't get treated any more different than the way I was before all this happened. I've never been the most popular dude and honestly I don't want to be now. I just want to make good music, take care of my family, and put on for my city. That's it.
P.S. "T.O.L.E.D.O" (This Opportunity Lets Every Demon Out) COMING SOON!

So damn anxious....
Never been this excited in my life, writing & recording the new EP/Mixtape ( "T.O.L.E.D.O." ) has been so amazing. I've grown so much as an artist, like tremendously. I'm blessed with the fan base and support that I have, but I still feel that i haven't given the people a true representation of me musically. Everything has just been mixtape freestyles, I'ma just be real. My biggest problem was that I felt like the things I wanted to do originally with my own music wasn't able to happen at the moment due to not having the proper production. No diss to any producers that I have already worked with, I'm just tired of reaching out to producers or vice versa and all they ever have for me are "club bangers". I'm truly ready to make MUSIC. I have a story, and to not have shared it yet bothers me so much. I know this new mixtape is going to surprise so many people and even shock some with the honesty that I exert with my new music, but for the first time it's all me. I'm actually talking about shit. That means the world to me. After the 106 performance everyone kept and keeps asking "What's next?".... Well, to answer that, "T.O.L.E.D.O" is coming soon, until then catch me in a city near you ;) God Bless
