So today is the big day. Today's interview with Miss Mimi at G-unit radio will be one to remember. My first music interview :). With music being my second passion it just feels good to embark on my musical journey while still playing basketball. Yea I know... don't quit my day job lol. I actually love my day job and wouldn't even think about quitting. Anyway, I want to thank Miss Mimi and G-Unit radio formaking a dream a reality. I know this is only the beginning, bu it's always nice to show gratitude. Shout out to my Grandma for the good manners. I also want to thank all the femcees that came before me that allow n showed me how to do what I now do. Thank you.
Back to ball...had a nice exhibition game against the Chinese National Team. Of course we came home with the win. Today, we had a great practice. The key to being successful this year as a team is to improve everyday and peak at the right time. That white line defense is becoming killer as we get more practices under our belt. Check us out against ATL on June 5th season opener.
Don't forget to check me out tonight!
Y'all know who it isssssss

I'm Early huh?
Goooooooood morning!!!
I'm up early this morning getting my body and my mind prepared for our first scrimmage. Today's scrimmage will be at CCNY. For those unfamiliar that's City College of New York. The first few days of training camp have been awesome. I love the work that the rookies are putting in. Despite their lack of professional experience, they counter that with open minds and a will to learn. In my 4th season I'm now considered a veteran, so many times they come to me with questions. It makes me feel old, but also respected.
Coach Whisenant reminds me so much of Coach Stringer. They're both defensive oriented...and from the same era. With practice being so defensive driven, as an athlete you have to know that you MUST take care of your legs. What better way of taking care of your legs than a nice cold ice bath? :insert sarcasm here: Although the ice bath may be the best thing known to rejuvenate sore muscles, it is also the worst thing known to man. I've been an athlete for the majority of my life and I STILL have a problem with sitting in freezing cold water.... go figure huh? lol. Seriously speaking though, if you're an athlete looking for a faster turnaround time, I'd recommend taking a ice bath for about 15-20 min.
Moving along with my morning....
I'm actually supposed to be sleep at the moment, but I have this project I need to put the finishing touches on :) Now that I think about it, I went to sleep very early yesterday. I started my sweet slumber around 7pm, woke up a few hours later for a bite to eat, then fell back to sleep around midnight. Over 8 hours of sleep for me. Those that know me do know that 8 hours itself is a long time for me to sleep. I guess it's all this hard work they have us doing out here in New York. Speaking of hard work, shout out to this rain! I've never had to work so hard to GET to practice! Yesterday, so many roads were flooded because of the down pour. Not only did I have to swerve massive puddles the size of the Hudson River, but I had drive double the time.
An-y-way
How did you guys like the photos on ? I posted the newest set of photos and hope you guys really enjoyed them. After all the photoshoots I've done I think I'm going to quit my day job and become a professional smiler....a lot less stress on the body and no thinking involved, just smile. Ok ok ok I was kidding. I'm done blabbing this morning and need to finish up this quick project.

today's randomness...
Goodmorning all! I figured I'd start this morning off with a blog entry. As you all know, the mixtape 'Follow Me...To The Lights' has been released via reverbnation.com/pr3pe. I'm loving all of the feedback I'm getting about it. Believe it or not, but I have been dibbing and dabbing in rap/poetry since a young age. Find my niche wasn't as easy as it seems. Constantly listening to the flow of some of the greats, both male and female, allowed me to critique myself and set the bar pretty high.
Anyway, enough of that! I'm actually pulled over in the financial district of NYC taking some time out to get some thoughts out and listen to some instrumentals. It's about 5 after 8 right now and I'm trying to get some quick breakfast before I head up to the gym for a nice lil workout with the NY Liberty staff. The season is right around the corner and I'm just making sure I'm ultimately prepared.
Today, I get to meet one of our rookies which will be pretty cool. On another note, yesterday was spent with former teammate Ephianny Prince and mutual friend Tamera Young of the Chicago Sky. We had a great time. We hit up the famous soul food spot of Harlem, Sylvia's. There's nothing like soul food! The night was filled with many laughes.
Ok let me get back on track! As you probably already see, my mind has thoughts running all over the place; so I'm going to take this time to plan out my day real quick.
-workout
-shower
-lunch while driving and blasting some music in the car
-return to home production studio to work on some projects for myself and others
-stare into space for a couple minutes
-get back to work
-evening errands in downtown Manhattan
-order chinese
-NBA 2K11
-annnnd eventually sleep
Alright, that sounds about right. I guess I can wrap this up and get outta here now. I think this traffic cop really wants to give me a ticket right now but has no reason to...I wonder does it make their day when they issue a ticket. Oh wait daaaang someone is about to get towed. That's really going to suck. Good thing I'm in my car. Smh. Ok I'm done for real this time. Catch y'all later!!!!!

Follow The Lights
Hello blogworld,
I know that I have facebook, twitter and defunct myspace but I wanted to get my blog on since my website is still in production.
Last week, my mixtape was released and it has been well received. I am so happy with all of comments, likes and shout outs..The album should be out by the Fall.
