I manifested a manicure

What's up steemers. Allow me to introduce myself, my name's Marqs. Some friends call me slime. I'm a young 35 year old, with gray hair, hence the name Young OG (and yes its my natural hair). Grays been coming in since i was like 12 years of age. I'm Originally from Brooklyn NY, Bed-stuy, Marcy projects (made famous by Jay-z). Now residing in New Jersey.

I love life, the world, and the universe around me. Which growing up in the projects wasn't always the case for me. I had to learn to appreciate the good with the bad. Growing up in the hood there is nothing but negative energy around every corner and posted on every block. Options are limited. Drugs and violence is all we see, there for, its all i grew up knowing. My only skills were dealing, fighting, and stealing. Rapping or playing basketball were the only two tickets out. Lets say i'm not as good with a basketball as i am with a pen and a note pad.

Hence the title: I Manifested a Manicure. I've recently learned the secret of life is to believe in what you want, manifest it, and receive it. "I Manifested a Manicure" is the name of my debut album. Being able to get out of the hood i discovered theres an entire world of opportunities. Only jobs open to kids from the projects are primarly fast food chain resturants or local retail shops.

I currently work for a pool @ spa company out of Colts Neck, NJ (made famous by the sopranos). We service, construct, and rebuild pools all over New Jersey. One day, about a month ago, while looking at my hands my wife said "you need a manicure". (I work on construction side of the pool company and my hands always look like crap.)

Although i've been making music since my early teens. I finally decide to pursue my dream of being a hip-hop artist no longer than about a month ago. Actually i pursed it in my early 20s but had to cut the chase short because i was expecting a child and needed to provide.

It's never too late to chase your dreams and go after what you really want in life. Set your mind to it. Ask the universe for it. No matter how wild your dream is. How crazy it may seem to others. Only you control your own destiny. We are the creators of our lives. The moment you learn to master the laws of attraction is the moment the universe opens up for you and delivers anything and everything your heart desires.

So look for my debut album, "I Manifested a Manicure", coming to all music streaming platforms very soon.

@youngogmarqs, yo man. You sure are a musician. Your whole write up read like a rap song to me. It just rhymed so perfectly. I loved the way your words flowed.

Welcome to Steemit and good on you for pulling you and yours out of that destructive cycle. I also battle with my Hands, sorted with the cream you use when milking cows , better than anything I have ever tried . A friend passed this on to me, so I am passing it to you , my new friend. If you are interested , I am involved in Music in South Africa , and if you want to send me a couple of your cuts I'll see if I can get them going for you? ( just ask for my mail address.)

Thats love baby!!! Any promotion is good promotion. We'll definitely be in touch, i'm going to debut my single for steemit and my first video. I'm going to follow you, and post my twitter up for everyone as well. Helping people around the world is something i'm goingg to manifest as well. Giving back to the less fortunate is a goal of mine. So visiting Africa and helping kids in need is on my bucket list. So if u can send me your email address to that ball rolling, it'll be a blessing. I know its the universe making things happen.

My hood was televised constantly for its bad ways, news cameras were no stranger growing up. Like i mentioned in my post, Jay-z (the world famous music mogul) made Marcy projects pretty well known. He has an old movie called "The streets is watching", where you can see excatly what my old neighborhood looks like. You should check it out. Let me know if you have trouble finding it, i'll gladly help you. Bless up brother.

Yow man I'm following you now! I recently started shuffling through my music from back in the day and damn! oh-how-miss-it!!!

Here is a post I made two days ago of a song I wrote a couple years ago
https://steemit.com/poetry/@newton/get-wit-me-based-on-a-true-story-back-when-i-wrote-songs-i-miss-music

I even have a demo recording of it (wondering if its worth a professional recording now) I just might.

Music has changed over the years and because of that me an it fell out of love... I'm slowly revisiting that relationship at the moment an like I said... I miss music.

I'm looking forward to your post man. stay blessed!

Our music era differs a lot from this current wave of music the hiphop community is putting out. But i'm a strong believer that good music never dies. We might have to adjust to the new beats we're given to work with, if you want to stay relavant. But lyrical content should never be sacraficed, and thats where we prevail as artist. Get to work brother you have a dream you need to accomplish. Stay tunes to my channel as you'll see how i blend good lyrical content with todays new beats.
