(there's gotta be) more to life...thank you ms. stacie orrico...

The past week has been really encouraging...Tripp, one of the rappers for "Urban Derivatives" has found a wider world than the hood.  We just finished this tune called "You Live And You Learn"  and it has been a real change from the Parental Advisory Rap that looms the clubs.  Today we talked and he thinks he may even go totally into Christian rap.  The rest of the summer has been alright, but I've been producing this very explicit rap music and felt like I was supporting the life I was against.  But I think now I'm seeing my small part in the growth of some influential people.  Take a listen to "You Live And You Learn" and find some deeper lyrics than most rappers can even imagine.  I need to get to bed, but I'll try to post more in the morning...
