My story on how I applied the secret/power of the subconscious mind to get a record deal, ( which I'll add to my other thread as well) goes like this..

Back in 2001-2002 I worked for Verizon... I was with them when they were in a transition phase buying up all of the smaller companies to acquire more cell towers so they would have the biggest network in the world :blessed:

Me being a young nikka out tryna get more bread on top of the 60k+ I was already making with base plus commission, I figured out a way to hustle phones on the side with bills paid for and everything. This was the time when the Motorola V60's was poppin.. I was slangin then hoes for $250 a pop when the retail was about $650 or some shyt like that at the time. I was slanging them to two main resellers on the east coast doing like $$10k a week :wow:

I was mobbin to work with all of the newest phones, car was decked out, designer clothes etc. Long story short, I got snitched on by this fat CAC bytch who thought it was suspicious that I had so many material things on the Verizon salary so they started monitoring my activity through a big brother system :huhldup:


I was hustling successfully for about two months, but they only caught 2 weeks of my activity before they decided to hit a nikka with the "Hey Rod come with me, we need to talk to you" :mjcry:

I was hella sloppy wit it so I understood, but anyways they caught me up and I ended up doing 8 months in Jail for grand theft. They ended up only charging me for $42k worth of stolen cell phones when it shoulda been well over that :lolbron:

So now Im a convicted felon who would be on probation until I paid off the $42k restitution. While on probation I wasn't supposed to leave sacramento county at all or else I would be arrested on a probation violation and sent back to jail. Of course Im like how the fukk am i gonna pay this shyt off? I either have to win the lottery or get a record deal.

It wasnt until I read "The power of the subconscious mind" that I started consciously practicing these techniques consciously... I was recording all day in my room, constantly focused on nothing but music. I was huge 50 fan so that ws also embedded in my subconscious as he was the only nikka I was really listening to during this very targeted time period... My whole focus ws to get a record deal, I never ever even considered G-Unit as a possibility because it was a gangster ass label and my shyt was more swagggy.. So always figured something more like a DTP would make more sense..

Anywho, every night about 2am I would take what i would like to call a "meditation walk".. It was at least an hour of me walking around where I lived, it was really quiet out and I would have interviews about how i just signed my deal, how i was off probation, how its crazy that i signed off of a demo to this major label, how i had cars, money, on MTV, etc.... During these walks i was literally feeling the feelings as if these things were already happening. It was crazy. I didnt really know what i was doing when I first started doing it, I was more just having a goodtime daydreaming so to speak... But the feelings were real.. I was doing that shyt at least 5 nights a week...


So Im on this website called 602streets (A site like the coli but only dedicated to the Arizona hip hop scene) and this guy named Taurus Scott from Arizona makes a thread asking people to send demos so he could submit them to G-Unit.. everyone on the site was like "yeah right nikka, why would u come on here for that?" :duck:

Im more optimistic so i said as long as u aint asking for a submission fee what would i have to lose.. :yeshrug:

Out of all them nikkas on that site only 3 people sent him cd's, me being one of them of course :banderas:

So Im still doing my walks and about 3 months from the time I sent the CD I get a text ffrom the guy saying he wants to holla at me on a conference call


This nikka calls me and goes yo I have 50 on the line :myman:

Im like shut the fukk up nikka stop playin :camby:


50 starts laughing on the line :pachaha:


im like oh shyt??:krs:



This nikka said he was on a flight from NY to LA going thru beats/instrumentals and my demo was in the middle of his cd's :mindblown:


To this day he doesn't know who put the shyt in there.. He thought it wa an old cd of him and he said after having it on repeat for3 hours he told whoo kid he was gonna sign this kid soon as he landed... Im like :noah:

the rest is history... Funny shyt is, things went so fast I violated probation cus my probation officer saw me on MTV and had to charge me cus his supervisor put him on blast.. shyt was hella funny... Soon as I got my advance I paid the 42k off, hired a lawyer and got my felony reduced to a misdameanor and expunged. Free man once again :wow:


Anyways thats my story the best way i could freestyle type it.. hope it made sense.. I believe in that shyt.. Meditation, focus and action causes great things to happen. Im getting deep into quantum physics now and shyt is crazy.. fukks with Gregg Braden real heavy.. Western science is finally catching up to this way of thinking, sounds crazy but the shyt is official in my book... We always gotta remember whether we think we can or we can't, we are always right....

another GOAT story.

I have a question; If a major artist doesn't have a email for beats in their Twitter bio, who would be the best person to contact to send that artist beats? Manager?


i would say manager.. major artists usually get records from a&r's at the label tho.. but managers and entourage are more accessible so target them first

Breh on the real man to man no hate
Don't you think it's time to give up on music (as a job) and using what you've learnt to try and build an actual credible career?

nikka u sound like a bytch. Why would he give up on his dream? EVER!!!!!??? U ride that shyt out till u die!!! Credible to who? YOU!? Who the fukk is you? He paying his bills, he's seeing the world, he fukking hoes. Why stop?

Cuz he not hot as J. Cole or Migos? Life ain't about that, it's about doing what's in your heart and making money. Ignorant coward. Why would u even come in here asking him some shyt like that!? If he happy, he shouldn't stop doing shyt.

I'm not even made at you, cuz I'm sure u think ur saying something smart or whatever.
