Notes From Bob’s Mailbox

Sometimes i don’t do much and other times I’m doing too much. I rap for a living, try to sing for a living, substitute teach when i need to be doing something else for a living, and I also make a mean rice and tempe curry dish.

Why do you do what you do?

The passion i have for music is like nothing else i experience (besides love). It’s all i want to do and it’s the only thing i want to make a career out of. I also make music for people who still believe they have power to change things for the better. My music is about the life i live and it’s for whoever can relate.

OK - I’m outie…C-Ya.
