“Everybody right here, what you need to do is to be thankful for the life you got
You know what I’m sayin’?
Stop lookin’ at what you ain’t got and start bein’ thankful for what you do got”

- T.I. on “Live Your Life”

What a month. February was an eventful month for me, and I can’t help but be grateful for it. Let’s be clear though…I’m not JUST grateful for February, but I’m grateful for everything. But with last month, I can’t help but look back like wow…I’m in good shape. It’s hard not to look around and be appreciative of everything, y’know what I mean? Of courseeee you do.

Okay my peoples, I’m back with new music. Feels good, don’t it? This song features my homey Jabi from Miami, who laces the track with a super catchy Punjabi hook. Andddd, the homey Sureet of Digital Desi laces the beat. This song will be featured on the upcoming release from Digital Desi, and was also recently featured in the film Uncoupled (which premiered at the India International Film Festival in Tampa Bay).

And with that said, enjoy!

On Friday, February 17, 2012 until Sunday, February 19, 2012, Tampa Bay will be throwing the third annual India International Film Festival. Taking place at Channelside Cinemas, this three day festival will open with a main feature presentation and opening night gala, followed by a variety of feature films, short films, music videos and documentaries from different genres.

If you guys remember, I premiered the video for “Blow” there last year. Well this year, my newest song “Do it 2 Me” (featuring Jabi and produced by Digital Desi) will be featured in the film “Uncoupled“. Check out the trailer for the film festival alongside the trailer for the film itself below. Hope to see you guys there!

‘Cause sometimes you just feel tired,
Feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up.
But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
And just pull that shit out of you and get that motivation to not give up
And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse.

- Eminem on “Till I Collapse

Sometimes, you gotta strong arm the game. I mean, you gotta REALLY muscle your way through every hurdle and every obstacle and everything going against you. There comes a point where you can’t sit back; instead, you have to step up, take charge, and fight your way through the BS. We all encounter it, and let’s face it…lots of people give in to the pressure. Well, I wanted to give in myself this past month; instead, I did the opposite. I got my ass back up and fought through it. This month wasn’t bad by any means, but it did require me to push harder. But yes, I’ll get to that in a minute.

2011 has been quite the year, hasn’t it? It was the year of the revolution and the year of the protestor. We saw deaths of Bin Laden and Gadhafi along with the Occupy Wall Street movement. In addition, we saw stories about the Royal Wedding, the Casey Anthony trial, Steve Jobs, the shaky economy, and the earthquakes of Japan. Between that and stories about Kim Kardashian, Rebecca Black, and Charlie Sheen, there was a lot that happened this year.

With 2011 winding down (which I still can’t believe), I wanted to take a look at where I’ve been. I wanted to take a look at the year that was 2011, but not so much the news; instead, I wanted to visit the stuff that I’ve been through both personally and professionally. It’s definitely been an “eventful” year to say the least, and I felt like capturing that. In addition, it was a pretty interesting year for music too. So anyway, in this hybrid edition of the Opinions Column, I’ll talk about everything 2011.
