My dear friend & one of my favorite producers, Irv (RND1) pronounced "Round One" came to visit the Cave of Solitude from May 13th to May 19th to celebrate my upcoming 43'rd solar return (May 23rd, 1981) by gifting me the one thing in life I cherish the most and don't get to experience often these days... IRL HUMAN INTERACTION =)
The week was super dope, my skittish kitty (Little Paw V.2) which I inherited from my Nana who inherited her from my mom always runs and hides when any comes over, but this week she immediately grew attached to IRV and followed us around all week and hung out. Super wholesome...
The week started with setting him up in my guest room and listening to hundreds of unreleased tracks... You'd think two producers spend a week locked in the cave together a bunch of new music would come from it, but I'm always alone and forcing myself to be productive, so we used this time to just hang and do friend stuff, like me putting him on to a few of my favorite K-drama's and just hanging since I wasn't feeling great healthwise alot of the time....
My childhood Best friend ERIC came over to meet IRV, and we put IRV onto to one of my favorite 80's classic movies "The Secret of my success" - Fun Times...
I tried to get my younger brothers login password to show IRV "Solo Leveling" but he never got back to me...
The Next day the homie [🔗thxk_u 🔗](zora.co/thxk_u?tab=created) came over to chill and meet RND1 and the same day I realized there was another FLIPABEATCLUB challenge, so we all set up to flip the samples provided, but I ended up getting distracted and opening portals instead of finishing a beat...
thxk_u come thru the following day as well to work on music, but I wasn't feeling well at all... So we basically each swapped PC's and opened a session created by the other producer, and created something new with all the samples, drums, effects, etc already in there... Once again, wasn't feeling well so I got distracted opening portals instead of staying on task...
I gotta say, Not being in control of my health/body sucks in general, but it's much more tolerable when around loved ones instead of just pushing through in privately in isolation, kind of like it's not happening if no one sees it, but it unfortunately is happening....
I probably should have documented more video footage of this week, but my heart and mind documented it all at least. Rnd1 is planning on visiting again before he moves to Los Angeles in July, so I'll try and document with a little more intent instead of just sharing videos sliced together that I sent to cxy, nydia and my brother.....
