Your vision sounds nice....but the problem is that you're starting from the bottom. You are still in the "zoo", and your dreams are in its infancy stages.   The key to making your dream a reality is having a plan.

Listen as I break down this bar.   #BARS   Song: "Praise the Lord (Da Shine)" Artist: A$AP Rocky (featuring Skepta) Album: TESTING
