My brief reference for a concept I have for Summer Walker’s song titled Anna Mae. Originally dreamt up for my future husband. I didn’t know Tina Turner’s real name was Anna Mae. I guess it is dedicated to you Tina, from God himself. - ML
"cause, don't you know you can't be doing them girls like that? thinking that nobody finna bite back. losing your mind baby, can't be sure, times wasting."
It’s been over a thousand days since August 8, 2019.
That was the debut of my last formal mixtape: Dealing with Distractions. Who knew 218 days later we would be in full lockdown mode?
That’s the biggest reason I was on a mixtape hiatus: Quarantine Vibes and Quarantine Fridays took the place of a properly themed mixtape.
Mixtapes take time. They take inspiration, too.
GOOD THING I’M GOING THROUGH SOME SHIT RIGHT NOW.
I made the decision to leave my teaching profession in late February and wrote about all that here: meet ej - the idealist.
I prepared as much as I could for this moment.
Nevertheless, the pressure is mounting as May winds down and I still haven’t honed in on exactly what I want to do next.
I’m simply trusting my principles to how I got here in the first place.
And with that, I’ll leave the theme of the mixtape somewhat cryptic with that description.
Enjoy!
