"I feel the way Kanye must have felt when no one would acknowledge his rapping. It was just like "make us beats and shut up". For me I get recognition for doing all these other things but people don't realize I do all that just so I can afford to make music. Music does so much for me that no other career can do. I'm a creative person and it allows me to exercise that. It allows me to compete. Most importantly it's a way for me to share my stories for others to relate to and learn from. Not everyone reads blogs or magazine articles, but everyone listens to music." Phella
With this project Gimme A Second I Swear, Phella teams up with long time friend and Maryland based producer J.Rob to take you into his world over the past 6 months while touching on everything from relationships to his departure from The Famous Firm. They've also called on New York City Mixtape DJ DJ Laser to assist in the branding of the project. Phella plans to merge his Da Fam Music imprint with a parent company over the next few months that will serve as a distributor and financier for tours, videos, cross marketing and more. "Everyone age 20-30 gets asked a million questions about what they're doing. Whether you're an insurance agent or aspiring actor. People will doubt you, wanna know how much money you make, who you're with, why you dress a certain way, why you talk a certain way, why they didn't see you at this or that party. You'll go mad trying to respond to every criticism people have of you. So rather than even attempt, just say "Gimme A Second I Swear". Everything will soon make sense." -Phella-
"To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world.."
