Growing up in South Carolina it was very adventurous. A warm night on October 03 2000 in West Palm Beach, FL Griz was born. I was born in JFK Hospital. But as soon as I born I moved to Dale, SC. All throughout elementary and middle school, I was called Dequan.
After listening to the newly released mix tape “Potential/Summer 16” which features 13 tracks including features from other members of Bethel Boyz, I headed over to Bethel Avenue in Long Branch, New Jersey. As I walked into the house, overwhelmed by the smell of old Key Stone, I was greeted by the Bethel Boyz. Singing and rapping at the kitchen table, wearing a “Suh Dude” snapback, Paul resists the mainstream categorization that other rappers chase after, mainly because he’s a completely new breed of Jersey oddball, something the rap game has never experienced. Far removed from the conventional visuals of big time rappers, Paul exists completely in a category of his own making. Paul Tyler Matt When did you get into music and why?
Vivian Key is four years old and halfway through scarfing down a bowl of applesauce when her mother says, “Vivvy, don’t play with your food.” Vivian pauses in the middle of waving her (unused) spoon around like a wand and pouts. “Why?” she asks, scooping up another glob of applesauce with her fingers. “I’m a fairy.”
It was March 1963 at Mississippi State University. I was going to class early to get in some last minute cramming before the test over chapter 14. Even though my friend Eric Swan and I study all night. Eric was my best friend from high school. Eric and I did everything together, except when he was with his racist friends.
Off and On I, Kevin Sandersons, am not a genius. I simply am determined to succeed in my future, yet my grades and actions in class imply the future Einstein is present, according to my classmates. But that’s not how I visualize myself. I’m 13 years old and I live in Charleston, SC.
There is an accident on the 405 so we take PCH. I look at the window, into the sea. I am looking for dolphins or whales, but I have never seen a whale from this road. Once, when we were driving to Summer Nationals, Dad offered me two-bucks if I saw a whale. We drive past La Conchita.
During the night of December 24th, 1982 in North Carolina, Jack Wilson, a 16-year old boy, went to the International Gaming Tournament, where he won first place. He felt so proud. He wanted to call his parents who were gone to Hawaii for three weeks to share his happiness. When he arrived at his house he made some hot chocolate and gathered by the cozy fire, looking at his only Christmas present. Though it was small, it was special as it was from his parents.
Ya’ know that feeling you get when you realize something bad is about to happen, but you don’t wanna accept it cause you want to pretend like everything’s alright and everything’s gonna be A-okay? I can’t count how many times I’ve felt that way considering all the trouble I done got myself into in my short amount of time. Growing up as Dallas Winston, the tough guy with no heart, has always been hard for me. Sometimes (maybe all the time), I try to act tough and fearless and I want to look real rough-looking so people don’t mistake me for being “soft”.
In the small town of San Diego, Texas is where the Mew Ranch lies. The ranch is 300 acres of mesquite trees and dirt roads filled with all different kinds of wildlife. This ranch has been in my my family a little over 125 years. My great great great great uncle, John Cleary, was the mayor of this thriving town back in the day that was known for its sheep farming. Everyone adored John Cleary and when elections were coming up, everyone knew that John was going to win.
Last weekend on the 16th I went to see Chance the Rapper at the Rave with two of my friends. It was a last minute decision but it was definitely worth it. Chance doesn’t sing the type of music that we are learning about in class, and normally I don’t usually listen to that kind of music, but I had a great time there. I am more of a country person but I am always open to new things. Chance the Rapper would be considered a vocal soloist, he sings by himself on stage but he does have a band behind him.
Now if you were in a bathtub for 25 years don’t you think you would get a little irritated, agitated, maybe a little psychotic? This animal was speaking with its fins saying get me out of this tank!” The important thing about this quote is the comparison and how the whale feels. If someone just came up to you and just stuck you in this little small tank, wouldn 't you feel a little irritated or psychotic?
In the world, music creates a place where people can rant and relate themselves to when they’re going through whether it’s family issues heartbreaks, or celebrations. In my life I go through similar problems, and there is always that one song or lyric that you’re able relate to and it fully describes you. That song for me is R&B/Gospel artist Mary-Mary’s song “Walking.” I say this because it shows how I am ambitious and humble.
I have been waiting since the start of summer for this day, the day to go against Topeka West the school that have been talking stuff for the longest. There was so much hype about this game and it was finally here, when the bell ringed at the end of the day i rushed out of class and got on the bus to head over to chandler our practice field. When we got there we all the football players loaded off the bus and when we got off there was a table of chips,water,gatorade,PB & J and fruit snacks so we didn’t play on an empty stomach. After we ate and got ready coach talk to us for a little bit and then we got on the bus to head to Hummer sports park, it was a loud bus
My Theme Song Songs can connect with how we feel and our experiences. Music has been a major part of my life ever since I was just a toddler. For me music has helped me express what I am feeling and who I am as a person. My therapy has been music, it has helped me through almost every problem I have faced. With listening to the song lyrics, we can get a true understanding of what the artist is trying to tell us.
