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

HAPPY B-DAY!

As funny as this is it's truly how I feel. THANK YOU, not just for the b-day wishes, but for EVERYTHING! I only dreamed of the things that are happening to me now and none of it would be possible without each and every one of you reading this. I'm nothing without your consistent love and support. I WON'T LET YOU DOWN, promise. May God Bless all of you and when it comes to me always remember, "Ain't nothing gone change but the change". THANK YOU!

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

38 Hours to 106

Chilling for the moment.... Zooted as ever..... So much support, so much pressure. They say you can only measure a man by his ability to perform when he's under pressure. First time I've honestly felt like everybody's behind me. My city's been showing the most love of course, and if you know anything about where I come from then you definitely know that showing love isn't a common thing. Shits actually hitting me for the first time, I'm about to be in front of millions lol.... WTF? .. lol... Not that I don't deserve it because I've definitely bust my ass to get to this point but it's just like damn, so many "what ifs" going through my head. I've had to been asked the question "Are you nervous" at least a million and twenty two times in the past month, and to finally answer that question, to an extent yes. I'm not at all nervous to perform, it's just the magnitude of the possibilities that may result from my performance. I've had to have watched 8 Mile 100 something times in my life but for the first time I actually feel the same way Em did. Ain't gone choke or throw up tho lol, don't trip. It's just crazy. I've got the opportunity to shine light on the city that I was born and raised in, a city that gets so much recognition for negative shit. This performance isn't about me, it's about any person that's ever been doubted time and time again reminding them that no matter your environment or situation that you can also do whatever you can think of. Never ever thought things would happen like this, least not this fast. Am I ready? Wednesday we'll see.. Sweet dreams to those that are growing closer to sleep, as for me, I'll be here. God Bless

$.25 till 5pm

Zoned out..... Just vibing to different music, shits really starting to hit. Never been one to second-guess myself, but this is one of the first times I ever felt like so many people were placing their bets on me and cheering for the kid. Crazy, most say I never give myself credit, but truly I don't see the point in it, least not now, because to them I may have accomplished alot but to myself I haven't even scratched the surface of what I plan to do. When you're full you don't really think about eating but when you're hungry with nothing eating is all that u can think of. I tell myself "No one likes my music, no one listens" because it keeps me wanting to stay assertive and not let up. For the past few weeks all I've been receiving is emails about how the whole city and state is behind me, that everyone is watching and looking for me to be that one. Me? Lol fuck no, can't be hahahahahahah.. I'll be all the way 100, I never really knew how many appreciate what I do, all I ever here is the negative he say. I'm really bugging like damn, in 21 days I'll be on one of tv.'s biggest shows, LIVE! Shits crazy, never ever thought things would happen so fast. God knows how hard I've worked and how much I've been thru and I don't want anything except to take care of my family. That's all I want, never was the most popular cat or dude all the chicks checked for, so to behave like that guy now would be so senseless, I honestly don't care for the extra attention because I'm no better or more of a person than anyone else. I just wanna take care of my family. Most only get that 1 chance, and this may very well be mine... No sweat tho, I'M FROM TOLEDO

smh

Another restless night, I can't sleep for shit. If only people understood and really knew how much making music is only the easy part in the music industry. I pour my heart out each and everyday, and still haven't even gained entrance yet, no worries tho. I never complain about the hardships and sacrifices becaues I chose this. As tired as my body is I'm still loving every second. I'm still trying to get used to the whole "I have fans" ordeal, shit still creeps me out lol, such a blessing. Almost a month away from the one performance that may change my life forever. I can't even stunt, I never invisioned all of this happening so fast, but I'M READY, belee dat!
