Bless up!

A few weeks ago I helped a student of mine release his first tune in the form of giving him studio time and motivation. A 16 year old Japanese kid from the rural parts of Japan that I taught English to in public school. He was a real rebel, many saw that as a bad thing but I saw him as a dream chaser, an individual that needed to be on the outskirts of Babylon.

When I was his age I wished someone would have given me studio time and inspiration to pursue my dreams, so I thought it was only right to mentor him as much as I could with my know how. I will motivate him to keep going as he is young and also a junior high school dropout. I want to see him go to the top as his song suggests.

When he came to record at my home studio he offered me money for the studio time but I couldn’t take it. Instead I asked him to buy me lunch. Interestingly, the spot I chose was a spot he had always heard about from other underground rappers in the area who were older than him. It was a Brazilian burger joint called BurgerYa. He was delighted to finally go there as it is situated in a town that in the mind of Japanese teenagers is a “dangerous place”.
Here is a pic of the burger he bought me, it had pineapple 🍍 slices and was delicious 🤤.

If you are on Spotify, give the kid a listen, even if you don’t understand, help motivate the yutes to live their dreams. I am not the producer and earn nothing from the streams/downloads but just want to see the youths do their thing!

Stream 8laze’s single, Go 2 the top on Spotify and give him some inspiration! Bless Up!

Man, that's really nice of you! story like this restore my faith to humanity. Much like you, I know what it's like not to have the opportunity or platform to grow. I hope he can be successful with his songs. Thoughts on also uploading it on youtube and soundcloud? the beat is nice and trust me though I don't understand too much Japanese but the beat slaps!

Thanks! These days it's much easier for the kids but they just need to be pointed in the right direction. Yeah the beat is great, he grabbed it off beatstars and is learning about stems and licensing. He flows pretty good on the beat and the message is up lifting. I'll ask him about the tubes and SoundCloud, though I believe they are already there. Respect for the comment and streaming the kid, it is much appreciated.
