It’s July 4th. I thought about doing something about Independence Day, or independent labels, or albums with America in the title of them, but I’m sure your usual hack editorialists have already done that to death. With everyone having a day off, and in some cases two or three (gotta love a mid-week holiday), I wanted to write about something worth mulling over, something worth spending a few minutes reading and then a few more minutes thinking about. Recently I sat down with rapper Keith Murray and he spoke at length about getting his mind right, which is our Hip-Hop terminology for figuring out what’s important in life and re-prioritizing based on that. Since we all have some time to ourselves today what better subject to tackle than self-awareness and self-improvement? Murray’s had his own issues to deal with, from jail time to an alleged assault on someone at his former label. That being said, if he can move from that type of destructive lifestyle to the significantly more positive one he has now, what’s stopping any of us?
