In releasing this album I thought I would take time to break down my thoughts on this album so you can gain more of an understanding of what I was going for when i was writing for the project.
I called it "Black Wednesday" because I noticed that whenever in history there is a "Black (random day of the week)", it usually indicates a time where the stock market / economy shot to hell and put the country into a recession. I chose the day of wednesday, not to refer to a specific instance where the economy made a turn for the worst, I chose it because its the day I was born. So with the recession fully blossoming after I graduated high school, and that being a time in my life where I'm heading out into the world and make a name for myself. So Its like Im born again into a world thats on the whim of money and people doing whatever it takes for the illusion of comfort and control. This album is basically me describing what goes on in this world from my point of view. (along with my boys Cos and Detective Tuesday)
So with this album, I talk about many things. Lack of money, dealings with females, people within my circle of friends, family, religion, politics, partying, depression, how i feel about rap music and a plethora of other things. But in the end, what ties them all together and what makes them all the more interesting is being in a position where myself or the people im with dont have that much money. So it adds an element of frustration and tension to the whole affair. With this tension, I feel its easier to see all the strings and angles to what makes a given situation what it is, rather than me talking about dumb shit that makes no sence, just so you can dance to it.
I dont do that shit, son.
