the HIGHS and LOWS of producing
i'm not new to producing. i've been doing it to some extent for almost 10 years. i use most of my beats for myself though. but recently i finished writing 3 albums back to back and my rhyme mind was fried. so i decided to push myself out there more as a producer. so my high point was selling...- mercurywaters
